Jurong: New Western Frontier

Posted by Property Launch Invest on Tuesday, 22 April 2014 in Property News

In recent years, this part of the island has been going through a holistic transformation by tapping on development potential and opportunities.

What used to be swamps and fish farms has since transformed into a vibrant suburban hub over the decades. Developed as an industrial town in the early 1960s, Jurong now no longer leaves an impression of a polluted industrialised area and has grown into a bustling precinct.

As part of the government’s plans for Remaking Our Heartland (ROH), a new lease of life has been injected into the Jurong Lake area, benefitting local residents and bringing the area to the attention of international visitors. The 360ha Jurong Lake District features two areas - Jurong Gateway and Lakeside.

Office spaces closer to town had smaller differences: Novena rents were 15 per cent less than Raffles Place ones, based on DTZ's figures; Buona Vista and HarbourFront were 18 per cent and 21 per cent lower respectively.
