It is estimated that 8,609 HDB flats located in the West Region will reach their maximum occupancy period (MOP) in 2022. This number is made up of 1,223 flats in Jurong West; 6,884 flats in Bukit Batok; and 502 flats in Clementi. These flats account for a little more than a quarter (27%) of the 31,325 units that are estimated to reach MOP in 2022.

Of significance is the fact that the western region of Singapore happens to be the largest manufacturing centre in the country, which makes it extremely important to the nation’s economy. Several new developments are planned in the West Region, including the Jurong Lake District (JLD) and the Jurong Innovation District (JID). And the Jurong Region Line will soon be completed. Of these, the most exciting project is the JLD. While it will be outside the existing city centre, it promises to be a vibrant commercial centre that will attract businesses, entertainment facilities, recreation, all promoting a sustainable lifestyle.

 

Highlights of Singapore’s Western Region

• Plans are in the works for transforming Jurong Lake District into the largest, most robust mixed-use commercial district outside the city.

• Jurong Innovation District promises to be a vibrant advanced industrial manufacturing hub.

• New tourism and recreational projects are in the works.

• Eco-friendly and sustainable living environment.
