The Jurong East area of Singapore is set to be transformed with the closure of the JCUBE leisure and edutainment centre in August and the redevelopment of the site into a 40-storey residential and commercial development called JCube Residence. The new development, which will be connected to the Jurong East MRT interchange, Westgate and IMM Building via J-Walk, a covered elevated pedestrian network in the Jurong Lake District (JLD) is estimated to have a price tag of S$2,000 to S$2,100 per square foot (psf) for its residential units.
The move to redevelop JCube into JCube Residence coincides with the Singapore government’s plans to bring new homes, businesses, recreational facilities and amenities to the JLD. JCube Residence will be offered for sale in the second half of 2023, with exact details of pricing and the number and size of the units yet to be disclosed.
Property analysts are optimistic about JCube Residence potential in the area. Demand for residential housing in Jurong has been on the rise due to a lack of new condo launches in recent years and the new development is expected to have an average selling price of S$2,100 psf and upwards, which is in line with recent launch prices of the outside of central region developments. The potential new launches will likely boost home prices in the resale market and possibly have a spillover effect on the Bukit Batok and Clementi areas.
The JCube Residence development will also have a positive effect on the area, with its connection to the upcoming Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub and access to the many amenities and recreational facilities nearby. In addition, the closure of JCube marks the end of an era and make way for the new JCube Residence.
Overall, the development of JCube Residence is an exciting new development in Jurong East, with the potential to transform the area and bring in new homes and businesses. With the JCube closure and the potential of the other potential launches in the area, the future of the Jurong East area looks bright.
