Future Development
In the next ten to fifteen years, area around Jurong Lake will be transformed into a unique lakeside destinations for business and leisure. This master plan was announced on 4 April 2008 by the Urban Redevelopment Authority(URA). A new district will be created, called, Jurong Lake District. It consists of two districts, Jurong Gateway and Lakeside. Jurong Gateway refer to the areas around Jurong East MRT Station. Jurong Lake and the area around it, is known as Lakeside.
This new Jurong Lake District will offer a potential development area of 360 hectares, roughly the size of Marina Bay. The URA said that some 750,000m2 of land will be set aside at Jurong Gateway, expected to attract billions of dollars in development, for offices, hotels, food and beverage and entertainment uses. However, analysts say that the short 10–15 years time frame may be a little tight, due to the amount of projects in progress and a dampened global economic climate.
New developments around Jurong Lake include:
- A public park will be developed next to Lakeside MRT Station
- New Science Centre will be built next to Chinese Garden MRT Station
- Lakeside village
- Enhanced Chinese Garden and Japanese Garden
