    DESPITE reservations among some property market watchers about the depth of office demand in the vicinity of Jurong East MRT station, the Ministry of National Development has boldly placed a mega white site with a mandatory office component, on the confirmed list of the first-half 2023 Government Land Sales (GLS) programme.

    A sale of the site will help position Jurong Lake District as Singapore’s largest business district outside the city centre, say property consultants.

    The 6.8-hectare site will be sold to a master developer, which will build the project of up to 375,000 square metres (or slightly over 4 million square feet) gross floor area (GFA). This can be developed in phases over the next five to 10 years.
