The Jurong Lake District in Singapore is a great place for companies to establish a new campus and expand with ease, with significant development plans set to take place by 2028, including more offices, community facilities, and transportation infrastructure. The district will be connected to existing commercial centers and the MRT station via elevated pedestrian walkways and lushly planted streets, providing a car-lite and park-like environment with a mix of housing, amenities, and offices. The approach offers companies more flexibility in zoning, land tenure, and phasing to experiment with new development concepts and innovative ways to integrate live, work, and play. With Singapore's top two universities nearby and proximity to Tuas Port, Jurong Innovation District, and one-north, the district is perfect for research and development and providing professional services. The government is prioritizing the sale of sites, giving developers the flexibility to create scalable campuses at competitive rents. ====International Business Park==== Line 165 ⟶ 168: {{Multiple image \| align = right \| direction = vertical \|image1 = ~~LRM~~Jurong ~~EXPORT~~Entertainment ~~20180429~~Centre, ~~155735~~Jul 06.~~jpg~~JPG\|caption1 = [[~~IMM~~Jurong Entertainment Centre (Singapore)\|~~IMM~~Jurong Entertainment Centre]]\| width1=290px \|image2 = ~~Front~~IMM ~~view of JCube, a shopping mall~~building in Jurong ~~East, Singapore~~.jpg\|caption2 = [[~~JCube~~IMM (Singapore)\|IMM]]\| width2 = ~~275px~~290px \|image3 = ~~Jem~~J ~~Mall~~Cube Singapore 20230210 123007.jpg\|caption3 = [[~~Jem~~JCube (shopping mall)\|~~Jem~~JCube]]\|width3 = 290px \|image4 = Jem Mall.jpg\|caption4 = [[Jem (shopping mall)\|Jem]]\|width4 = 290px }} Within the boundaries of [[Jurong Lake District\|Jurong Gateway]] and Toh Guan, there are 45 shopping malls and only 3 of the shopping malls is currently operational: * [[Jurong Entertainment Centre (Singapore)\|Jurong Entertainment Centre (defunct)]] * [[IMM (Singapore)\|IMM]] * [[JCube (Singapore)\|JCube (defunct)]] * [[Jem (shopping mall)\|JEM]] * [[Westgate (Singapore)\|Westgate]] CapitaLand Development (CLD) has obtained provisional permission from Singapore’s Urban Redevelopment Authority to redevelop the site of JCUBE, a popular leisure and edutainment mall in Jurong East.
