Jurong Country Club chosen as High Speed Rail terminal site

The site will be acquired and redeveloped.

The Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) terminus will be located at the current site of Jurong Country Club (JCC) in Jurong East, the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) revealed today.

The JCC site was chosen due to its high connectivity. It has close proximity to the East-West and North-South MRT Lines at Jurong East MRT station, and will also be close to the Jurong Region Line and Cross Island Line, two new MRT lines being planned around the area.

JCC's proximity to the future integrated transport hub in Jurong East and its proximity to Jurong Gateway were also factors in the decision.

"The decision to site the HSR terminus at Jurong East dovetails with the Government’s plans to develop Jurong East. This could include introducing new mixed-use developments and community facilities at the surrounding area to serve Jurong residents, HSR passengers and visitors," the SLA stated in a release.

The SLA has gazetted the acquisition of the affected land today.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
