JCube mall in Jurong East Central will close down on Aug 6 to make way for a 40-storey residential development that will include commercial space on the first and second storeys.

The new residential building, targeted for completion in 2027, will complement the Government’s plans to bring new homes, businesses, recreational facilities and amenities to the Jurong Lake District, CapitaLand Development said on Tuesday.

The mall will shut down on Aug 6 at 10pm. CapitaLand said it is working closely with the tenants and providing the necessary support to ensure a smooth handover of the premises.

The new residential development will be linked directly to the Jurong East MRT interchange station, Westgate and IMM Building via J-Walk, which is a covered elevated pedestrian network in the district, the statement added.

Jurong East interchange station now serves the East-West and North-South lines, and will link up with the future Jurong Region Line, which will open in phases from 2027. The station will also serve the upcoming Cross Island Line, which will open in phases from 2030.
