## Original article

SINGAPORE: A mixed-use site in Jurong Lake District that could yield up to 1,200 private homes was launched for sale on Friday (Jul 3), as part of efforts to advance development in the area. The 3.7ha site at Town Hall Link is intended to kickstart the next phase of development in a new precinct in Jurong Lake District, and support medium-term demand for housing and office space, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) said in a media release. The development will include at least 40,000 sqm of office space, up to 1,200 private residential units and 44,000 sqm of gross floor area for complementary uses such as retail, hotels, recreational spaces and attractions. “The future integrated development will complement the existing critical mass of office, residential, retail, healthcare and institutional uses to cater to diverse market needs in the area,” said URA. The site will be connected to Jurong East MRT interchange station and have an underground pedestrian link to the upcoming Cross Island Line MRT station, which is scheduled to open in 2032.

Located next to the Jurong Town Hall national monument and a planned park, the plot offers what the authority described as a strategic opportunity for developers to partner the government in shaping the district’s growth. "The launch of the site today marks an important step towards shaping JLD (Jurong Lake District) into the largest mixed-use business node outside Singapore’s city centre," URA said. The tender for the site will close at noon on Nov 17. Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA Singapore, noted that the site was carved out of a larger area launched for tender in June 2023. That site's tender was not awarded because URA deemed the bid price too low, he said. " This site is unlikely to meet the same fate as the previously-launched land parcel because it is a more palatable size," said Mr Chu. "Furthermore, the government will undertake some infrastructural works which will lessen construction cost." The government will undertake a greater share of infrastructure and land preparation works for the area south of Jurong Town Hall Road, to make the site more attractive to developers, said URA. These include the demolition of state properties, construction of a new road and the diversion of existing services, which were requirements for the previous site. INVESTMENT INTO JURONG LAKE DISTRICT Jurong Lake District is a key part of Singapore’s decentralisation strategy aimed at bringing jobs and amenities closer to homes. Once fully developed, the more than 410ha district is expected to provide more than 100,000 new jobs and 20,000 new homes, while serving close to 1 million residents and more than 3,000 companies in the western part of Singapore. The government has invested significantly in key infrastructure to drive the transformation of the region, said URA, noting how two new MRT lines - Jurong Region Line and Cross Island Line - will serve the area. “The Cross Island Line will save commuters about 20 minutes of travel time between Jurong Lake District and Pasir Ris Central compared to today,” said URA. Plans to connect the Jurong Region Line to the Cross Island Line and Circle Line are also expected to cut travel time between the west and the city centre by up to 20 minutes. Other key developments in the pipeline include the new Science Centre , slated to open at the end of 2027. Jurong Gateway Hub - an integrated development comprising a bus interchange, offices, shops, a library, community club and sports facilities - is expected to be completed in 2029. Together with the new site, these projects are expected to boost the district’s vibrancy and support its vision as a “live-work-play destination”, said URA. It noted that some government agencies, including the Land Transport Authority and the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, are also studying plans to move their offices to the area.

### 裕廊湖区地段推出出售，规划最多约1,200套私人住宅

市政厅连道3.7公顷地段将含办公空间，以及约4.4万平方米总楼面用于零售、酒店、康乐与景点等

新加坡：作为推进该区发展的一部分，一幅位于裕廊湖区、最多可建约1,200套私人住宅的综合用途地段于周五（7月3日）推出出售。市区重建局（URA）在新闻稿中表示，市政厅连道这幅3.7公顷地段旨在启动裕廊湖区新片区下一阶段开发，并支撑中期住房与办公空间需求。发展将包括至少4万平方米办公空间、最多约1,200套私人住宅单位，以及4.4万平方米总楼面用于零售、酒店、康乐空间与景点等配套用途。URA表示：“未来综合项目将补充现有办公、住宅、零售、医疗与机构用途的临界规模，以满足区内多元市场需求。”地段将连接裕廊东地铁换乘站，并设地下人行通道通往预计2032年通车的跨岛线地铁站。

地段毗邻国家古迹裕廊市政厅及规划中的公园，URA形容其为发展商与政府合作塑造该区成长的战略机遇。URA称：“今日推出该地段，是塑造裕廊湖区成为新加坡市中心以外最大综合用途商业节点的重要一步。”招标将于11月17日中午截止。ERA新加坡首席执行官Marcus Chu指出，该地段是从2023年6月推出招标的更大区域中划出；当时URA认为标价过低而未批出。“由于规模更易接受，这块地不太可能重蹈此前地段覆辙，”Chu说。“此外，政府将承担部分基础设施工程，有助降低建筑成本。”URA表示，政府将在裕廊市政厅路以南区域承担更大份额的基础设施与土地平整工程，以提升地段对发展商的吸引力。其中包括拆除国有物业、建设新道路与改道现有管线等——这些曾是前一幅地段的要求。

投资裕廊湖区

裕廊湖区是新加坡分散化策略的关键一环，旨在让就业与设施更靠近住家。全面开发后，这座逾410公顷的区域预计提供逾10万个新就业岗位与2万套新住宅，并服务新加坡西部近100万居民与逾3,000家企业。URA称，政府已在关键基础设施上投入大量资金推动区域转型，并指出两条新地铁线——裕廊区域线与跨岛线——将服务该区。“跨岛线将使裕廊湖区与巴西立中心之间的通勤时间较今日缩短约20分钟，”URA表示。连接裕廊区域线与跨岛线、环线的规划，亦有望将西部与市中心之间的行程最多缩短20分钟。其他在建重大项目包括预计2027年底开放的新科学中心，以及预计2029年竣工、涵盖巴士转换站、办公、商店、图书馆、民众俱乐部与体育设施的综合项目裕廊门户枢纽。URA称，连同新地段，这些项目有望提升该区活力，支撑其作为“宜居、宜业、宜乐目的地”的愿景。该局并指出，包括陆路交通管理局与永续发展与环境部在内的一些政府机构，亦在研究将办公室迁往该区的计划。
