Ambitious new plans to make Jurong a business and leisure centre will likely boost home prices, property consultants told The Straits Times yesterday.
Optimism about the area was lifted with the Sunday announcement that a new Jurong Lake Gardens will be developed in conjunction with other projects already under way nearby.
A Science Centre will also be built and there is also a possibility that the terminal for the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur High Speed Rail will be in Jurong.
The new plans underscore Jurong's development as the largest commercial hub outside the Central Business District (CBD), which has been going on apace for some years.
