Jurong Lake District White Site Guide: 1,200 Homes at Town Hall Link

The Jurong Lake District White site at Town Hall Link is the largest single parcel ever released for sale in Singapore's second CBD — and it is directly adjacent to the new launch this site follows. Launched on the GLS Confirmed List on 3 July 2026, the 3.7-hectare site can yield up to 1,200 private residential units alongside a minimum of 40,000 sqm of office space, with the tender closing on 17 November 2026 (source: URA).

This guide covers the official numbers, the site's place in the wider JLD masterplan, and what the White site means for anyone watching new launches in the Jurong Lake District — including this development at Town Hall Link itself.

The White site at Town Hall Link: key facts

• Location: Town Hall Link, Jurong Lake District, adjacent to the Jurong Town Hall national monument
• Size: 3.7 hectares, 99-year leasehold
• Total GFA: 186,139 sqm (roughly 2 million sq ft)
• Office: minimum 40,000 sqm, non-negotiable
• Residential: up to 1,200 private units
• Complementary uses: 44,000 sqm for retail, serviced apartments, hotel, sports and recreational facilities, community spaces and medical clinics
• Timeline: released on the Reserve List 16 March 2026; launched for tender on the Confirmed List 3 July 2026; tender closes 17 November 2026, 12 noon

The site is one of three parcels carved out of the former JLD master developer plot, which the Ministry of National Development announced in December 2025 would be split into smaller, lower-risk sites. The Town Hall Link parcel is the first of the three to be released — at around half the GFA of the original master developer plot, URA notes the smaller parcel entails lower development risk and allows developers to proceed with greater confidence.

Government investment in the surrounding district

URA has highlighted that the Government has invested in key infrastructure at the site to reduce uncertainty for developers. The White site will connect to a district cooling plant and a pneumatic waste conveyance system central station, and is integrated with the precinct's transport network:

• Jurong East MRT interchange (East-West Line and North-South Line) within walking distance, connected via multi-level pedestrian linkages
• Jurong Region Line: the Jurong East station will join the JRL network, opening in stages from 2027 to 2029 (Jurong East JRL station estimated to complete in 2028)
• Cross Island Line: the future Jurong Lake District station (CR19) is planned to open around 2032, giving the precinct a third rail line
• Jurong Gateway Hub: an integrated transport hub next to Jurong East MRT with a bus interchange, library, community club, sports facilities, offices and shops, expected to complete in 2028
• New Science Centre: relocating to JLD, expected to complete in 2027

The area around the Jurong East interchange has already established a critical mass of about 185,000 sqm of office space and about 2,000 homes, well served by retail, healthcare and institutional uses (source: URA press release, 16 March 2026).

Why the residential component matters

Up to 1,200 homes at the White site would be the first significant new private residential supply in the JLD precinct in several years. Context from the market:

• Unsold new-home supply in Jurong East had dwindled to around 250 units as of March 2026
• J'den — the 368-unit CapitaLand mixed-use development at Jurong East launched in November 2023 — sold 88% of its units on launch day at an average of about S$2,451 psf (source: EdgeProp Singapore)
• PropNex research expects future JLD homes to attract keen interest from HDB upgraders and property investors, citing J'den's brisk sales as evidence of demand

Analysts have also flagged the counterpoint: the mandatory 40,000 sqm of office space could temper developer interest, with some office occupiers still preferring central locations. The tender result — due after the 17 November close — will be the market's verdict.

What the White site means for this development

This development site is itself located at Town Hall Link, within the same precinct the White site anchors. Four practical implications:

• Precinct scale: the White site reinforces JLD's positioning as Singapore's largest mixed-use business node outside the city centre — the same thesis that drives this development's location story.
• Supply timeline: homes from the White site would only be launched for sale after the tender closes on 17 November 2026 and the site is awarded — meaning this development at Town Hall Link remains the early mover in the immediate precinct.
• Amenity buildout: the office, retail and recreational floors planned at the White site, alongside Jurong Gateway Hub and the New Science Centre, will progressively improve the everyday environment around the district.
• Pricing context: the White site's tender result will be the next major land-price signal for JLD after the J'den-era benchmarks, and will inform how indicative pricing for nearby launches is framed.

Reading the White site against the masterplan timeline

JLD's official project timeline (jld.gov.sg, updated July 2026) sequences the next milestones:

For buyers weighing a Town Hall Link new launch, the sequence matters: the district's next phase of infrastructure lands between 2027 and 2032, and the White site's residential component sits at the front of that wave.

Getting ready for the precinct's new launches

If the White site and the JLD buildout have you looking at new launches in the precinct, this site's pages track the development that matters for Town Hall Link specifically:

• Location and connectivity: the location guide covers transport access including the JRL, the Cross Island Line plans and the district's walking network.
• Indicative pricing: the price page will carry developer-released information, with the White site tender as the nearby land benchmark.
• Showflat and viewing: register on the showflat page for updates on viewing availability.
• Plans and brochure: official floor plans and the e-brochure will be published when the developer releases them.

The White site tender closing on 17 November 2026 is the next milestone to watch in the Jurong Lake District. Its award — and the launch prices that follow — will define the district's new-home market as the JRL, the Gateway Hub and the Science Centre come online.
