future developments
Tengah New Town
The upcoming future Tengah Town is just a short drive away. A new township designated as “Forest Town”, its key conceptual design theme is that of green and sustainable living, with plenty of smart features built in. The town’s ease of connectivity with the rest of the island will be through a new 24km long Jurong Regional Line served by two new MRT stations. Besides pre-existing amenities in the area such shopping malls and schools, more primary and secondary schools are expected to be built there in step with the growth of the township, serving up even more future choices of schooling for young families.
Future Jurong Innovation District
Yet another new development you may also look forward to is the Future Jurong Innovation District, a 600-hectare district covering the Nanyang Technological University, JTC’s CleanTech Park, as well as the Bulim, Bahar and Tengah areas. Also coming alive within this cluster is a new one-stop Advanced Manufacturing Campus for R&D and training. Set amidst lush greenery and biodiversity, this new district is a self-contained oasis for work and play, a high-tech innovative hub that pulls together the best and brightest minds and leading industry players.
Rail Corridor
And to add to the west’s rustic charm, the entire 24 km of Rail Corridor has seen ongoing continuous development over the years from a former active railway line into today’s Rail Corridor of lush natural landscape, rich heritage communities and unique recreational experiences for visitors to venture through.
Beauty World Centre
The area’s grand dame, the Beauty World Centre, currently a shopping mall, is slated for a major conversion into more green spaces and communal living, including an integrated transport hub that promises to make for even better connectivity.
