After much delay, construction of a new mall on the former
Jurong Entertainment Centre site has begun.
The mall, to open in the first quarter of 2012, will have a net
lettable area of 204,000 sq ft - double the size of the original
mall - with rooftop garden, an Olympic-sized 30m by 60m ice-skating
rink and a cinema. Its facade will resemble a glistening
ice-cube.
It will be named JCube and will be eco-friendly. It will be
fitted with energy-saving features such as a rainwater harvesting
tank and a water recycling system for the ice rink. Waste heat from
the ice rink chiller will also be recycled to heat the water at the
rink's shower rooms.
It is also likely to open late, or even 24-hours, to meet the
demands of shift workers in the area.

Yet another retail mall to look out for.
