Just to give history lesson here (old man speaking) JCUBE is a major reno of what used to be called Jurong Entertainment Center. As students in the 90s, we used to call it Jurong4 as it had 4 cineplex screens. So this building has been around at least since the late 80s. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benarsenal Turbocharged February 7, 2023 Share February 7, 2023 To me it shows lack of foresight. If the area was meant to be zoned for residential in the first place, why even bother to make the effort to build a shopping mall only to last for 10 years? Why not just build the condo back then in the first place? Singapore used to be very good at planning all these 20-30 years in advanced, but nowadays it just seems like it's just chasing whatever trend that brings in the money and indulge in all these wasteful building and destroying. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcube is a mall on its own, not big enough to bring in crowds, and 5 mins walk from MRT is too far for many Singaporeans. on the other side, Jem and Westgate are side by side and have direct MRT access. and people are willing to JWalk from Westgate to IMM.

Victor68 Turbocharged February 8, 2023 Share February 8, 2023 I can understand if they want to test down the next building that houses the carpark and NTUC. There are plenty of land nearby, why tear down such a new building to save a few kilograms of plastic bags. Biz there is bad but it is not that building problem leh.

I dont understand why people find walking to Jcube is 'far'? Whereas they dont mind walk to IMM. IMM so consider far from MRT lo. Lol. Anyway, dont know if the new Jcube building will manage to attract crowds. Maybe even after new building, people still find 5 mins from MRT is too far.

To SG Inc, as long as investor willing to pay, building and tearing down is fine, will increase gdp anyway. ↡ Advertisement 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
