Jurong Lake District will be the focus of new development in the next two decades, with the government prioritising the sale of sites within the district.

A new, broad planning approach will be adopted for Jurong Lake District where flexi-use sites will be interspersed with business park uses. This will allow companies to locate all their activities and teams in one place. Large sites will give developers the flexibility to create scalable campuses tailored to business needs at competitive rents.

A dynamic ecosystem to grow your business

The West Region is also home to Singapore’s top two universities, providing a deep talent pool. Tuas Port, Jurong Innovation District and one-north are close by, making Jurong Lake District the ideal location to tap on academia for cutting-edge R&D, and to provide business and professional services to the maritime and high-value industries.

As the district grows, an ecosystem of innovation, collaboration and synergy within the region will emerge. Jurong Lake District will be a base for companies with strong Environment, Social, Governance (ESG) ambitions to tap on the West Region for opportunities in sustainability businesses.

By 2040 to 2050, Jurong Lake District will have 100,000 new jobs and 20,000 new homes, adding to the 1 million residents already in the West Region.

Fast connections to major hubs

Jurong Lake District will have excellent connectivity via two new train lines, Jurong Region Line and Cross Island Line, which are expected to be completed by 2029 and 2032 (for Phase 2) respectively. Together with the existing East-West Line and North-South Line, these new lines will connect people to major business centres and education hubs in the West and Central regions within 30 minutes.

Jurong Region Line will link the district to academic expertise, R&D and skilled talent at Nanyang Technological University, Jurong Innovation District and Jurong Industrial Estate, where many high-value industries are located. The Cross Island Line will serve existing and future developments in the eastern, western and north-eastern corridors and connect Jurong Lake District to other major hubs such as Punggol Digital District and Changi Airport.

More than a CBD

Imagine working, living and playing in the district with convivial plazas, intimate public spaces, lush lakefront greenery and native fauna.

New inspiring work campuses that seamlessly integrate with parks, cafes, restaurants, retail, schools and homes will capitalise on the existing infrastructure to appeal to diverse and modern lifestyles.

Convenient city living in 10-minute neighbourhoods

Jurong Lake District will be made up of neighbourhoods where amenities, green spaces and public transport nodes will be within 10-minutes reach.

A district of gardens and water

Jurong Lake District will have more than 100 hectares of park and greenery, and a 70-hectare lake with more than 10 kilometres of active waterfront.

Throughout the district, streets are lined with canopy trees, forming green corridors that provide shade and act as nature ways for wildlife.

A central green spine will link every development to the edge of Jurong Lake, drawing in parks and forests to cool the urban spaces.

Water-sensitive urban design promotes climate resilience by channeling excess stormwater from urban spaces into the surrounding Jurong Lake.

Identified as a model for urban sustainability under the Singapore Green Plan 2030, the district will support Singapore’s ambition to be a carbon services hub and a leading centre for green finance in Asia and globally.

Envisaged to attract a new generation of firms from the technology, e-commerce, sustainability and business services sectors, Jurong Lake District will be the epicentre to support talent and companies in creating new growth and new jobs in green innovation.

Government agencies leading Singapore’s sustainability, environmental, development and transport strategies are planning their move to Jurong Lake District in phases, attesting to the government’s commitment to making the district a demonstration for sustainable growth.

The district also acts as a “living lab” and regulatory sandbox, providing opportunities to pilot new urban solutions and refine sustainability-centric initiatives. The district has received interest to pilot proposals such as autonomous vehicle trials, ecologically-friendly leisure facilities and structures made from sustainable construction materials.

Building a model sustainable district

Jurong Lake District aspires to be a model sustainable district.

The six pillars encapsulate our ambitions for the district to achieve our net-zero emissions goal around 2045 for all new developments.

Artist’s impression showing how the sustainability aspirations for Jurong Lake District come together in a typical development.

Pursuing sustainable transport

Jurong Lake District has high ambitions for green mobility.

By 2032, Jurong Lake District will be served by four MRT lines. At least 85% of all trips are targeted to be made by Walk-Cycle-Ride modes of transport by 2035.

People can walk to their destinations comfortably along the J-Walk, an elevated weather-proof pedestrian network that links buildings, transit stations and public spaces throughout the district.

Car parking provisions will also be lowered to reduce traffic and create a people-friendly environment.

The district will be designed to readily support autonomous vehicles for both passengers and goods. To encourage the electrification of private vehicles, EV charging points will be progressively deployed across the district.

Autonomous vehicles at Jurong Lake Gardens are an example of a trial to prepare for the wider future deployment of AVs in the district.

Towards net zero emissions and zero waste

Embedded from the start, centralised district infrastructure will optimise the use of land and energy resources across Jurong Lake District.

Artist’s impression showing how building design and management can contribute towards achieving net zero emissions.

All new buildings will be required to minimally achieve Green Mark Platinum (Super Low Energy) certification. Where feasible, we will aim for some developments to include Zero Energy Buildings. We will also deploy solar on all suitable surfaces within the district, not only on rooftops or building facades but also on vacant plots of land as a transitory measure to offset the district’s emissions while the national grid is decarbonised over time.

Jurong Lake District will be served by the District Cooling and District Pneumatic Waste Conveyance Systems. These systems could be housed in underground Common Services Tunnels to deliver cleaner and more efficient urban services to all buildings, which would also make our streets more pleasant by eliminating the need to dig up the road to lay utilities.

Artist’s impression of how district infrastructure, vehicular circulation, deliveries and servicing will be located at the basement levels, freeing up the ground floor for more vibrant street life.

Advancing sustainability through partnership and innovation

Sustainability alliances will be formed among existing stakeholders in the district to adopt and share best practices, and work together to deploy solutions that address commonly encountered issues.

Businesses can tap on urban technologies to operate more efficiently and sustainably, and collectively demonstrate a greener way of life in an innovative district.
