Behind the Scenes: Jurong Lake District, Singapore Panel Insights on the ULI Advisory Services Panel Process ULI
Behind the Scenes: Jurong Lake District, Singapore Panel Insights on the ULI Advisory Services Panel Process ULI or over 70 years, the Urban Land Institute (ULI)’s Advisory Services Programme has Fworked to bring together the finest expertise in real estate to provide insights on best practice in challenging land-use issues ranging from planning, to development, heritage, and regulatory policy. In total, ULI has now convened more than 600 Advisory Services Panels (ASPs), staffed by volunteers from its 40,000 inter-disciplinary membership base. By providing an unbiased outside point of view from this very deep pool of expertise, the Advisory Services programme has and continues to deliver fresh insights and innovative solutions to seemingly intractable real estate problems. In January 2018, the Ministry of National Development’s Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC) and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) of Singapore (collectively known as ‘the Sponsors’) approached ULI to form an Advisory Services panel of ten highly qualified practitioners to provide strategic advice on Jurong Lake District, a growth area that is planned as a smart and sustainable mixed-use business district. Hailing from three continents and five countries, the ULI Jurong Lake District panel members (collectively known as “the Panel”) were selected based on their expertise in finance, master development, and transportation, as well as their ability to provide independent views on development strategies. The following piece further explores the Jurong Lake District panel’s scope and process. Background and the Panel’s Assignment Located in western Singapore, the 360-hectare Jurong Lake District encompasses two precincts: a commer- cial hub at Jurong Gateway, and a leisure, recreational and mixed-use area at Lakeside.

Jurong Lake District
Plans for Singapore’s Second CBD Unveiled: Jurong Lake District The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is calling for public feedback on master plan proposals to transform the Jurong Lake District (JLD) into Singapore’s second Central Business District (CBD). Mr Lawrence Wong, Minister for National Development and Second Minister for Finance, launched the exhibition showcasing the master plan proposals for JLD at the URA Centre on 25 August this year. Minister Lawrence Wong speaking at the exhibition launch showcasing the masterplan proposals for JLD. The 2008 Master Plan unveiled the blueprint for JLD to become a new growth area containing two precincts: a commercial hub at Jurong Gateway, and a leisure and recreational area at Lakeside. With over a million residents living in the west, JLD is well placed to grow into its full potential as the largest regional centre outside the CBD. The government’s decision to locate the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur High-Speed Rail terminus at Jurong East is also a game changer. It effectively makes JLD a new gateway to the region, facilitating easier cross-border business and travel between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. URA envisions JLD as a lively and vibrant mixed-use business district, with its own live-in population and an attractive street life for both locals and visitors. Together with the 90-hectare Jurong Lake Gardens, JLD will contain over 100ha of extensive greenery and open spaces. These spaces will extend into the surrounding neighbourhoods. Public transport will serve the district and seamlessly connect it to the rest of Singapore. Beyond the existing North- South and East-West MRT lines, JLD will also be served by the new Jurong Region Line and the Cross Island Line.

ANNEX 1 KALLANG RIVERSIDE URA Envisions Kallang Riverside to Be a New Lifestyle Precinct by the Edge of the City 1 As Part Of
ANNEX 1 KALLANG RIVERSIDE URA envisions Kallang Riverside to be a new lifestyle precinct by the edge of the city 1 As part of the Draft Master Plan 2008, the blueprint for Kallang Riverside was unveiled by the URA. The vision for Kallang Riverside is to transform it into a new lifestyle precinct by the edge of the city, offering distinctive waterfront homes with a mix of offices, hotels, and retail and entertainment facilities set against beautiful beachfronts with breathtaking views of the city skyline. 2 Kallang Riverside is one of the three commercial hubs outside the city centre that will be developed to provide alternatives for businesses and jobs closer to homes. The other two commercial hubs are Jurong Lake District and Paya Lebar Central. 3 Kallang Riverside refers to the areas on both sides of the Kallang River, bounded by Nicoll Highway, Kallang Road and Sims Way. It boasts a wide expanse of beaches and greenery, located at the end of the Greater Marina Bay. It is just 4km away from the city and is in close proximity to key attractions like the Sports Hub, Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay. Key proposals 4 Two complementary precincts will be developed, on the west and east sides of Kallang river; capitalising on the beautiful beaches and existing mature greenery. The west side of the river will offer distinctive waterfront homes with a beachfront setting while the east side of the river will have quality office space with a mix of hotel, entertainment and retail uses. 5 The key proposals for Kallang Riverside are: a) Develop a unique, distinctive residential enclave on the west of Kallang River set in a lush park setting with views of the waterfront; b) Create a whole new lifestyle hub in an intimate setting, with a variety of vibrant shops, restaurants, entertainment and lifestyle uses; and c) Provide easy accessibility from Lavender and Kallang MRT stations to attractions like the beachfront and the adjacent Sports Hub, with a network of second-storey and street-level walkways.
