CMT to Construct Singapore’s First Olympic-sized Ice-Skating
Rink at Jurong Entertainment Centre
Singapore, 5 February 2008 – CapitaMall Trust Management Limited
(“CMTML”), the manager of CapitaMall Trust (“CMT”), is pleased to
announce that Jurong Entertainment Centre (“JEC”) will house
Singapore’s first Olympic-sized ice-skating rink as part of the
proposed S$138.2 million asset enhancement work planned at JEC. The
Olympic-sized ice-skating rink, together with the rest of the asset
enhancement initiatives undertaken at the mall, is expected to be
completed by Fourth Quarter 2009.
** On Level 1, the 6-screen cineplex will be relocated to Level
5, a newly created floor at JEC.
** On Level 3, the current non-Olympic-sized rink, measuring 20
metres by 40 metres and operated by Fuji Ice Palace, will be
replaced with Singapore’s first Olympic-sized ice skating rink. The
existing rink has not only been a huge draw with Singaporeans and
ice-skating enthusiasts, but also the venue of choice for
competitive events such as ice-hockey tournaments and the Singapore
National Figure Skating Championships. It is envisaged that the new
Olympic-sized rink, measuring 30 metres by 60 metres, will be
flanked by food and beverage operators or restaurants on both
sides, providing shoppers with a unique dining experience.
** The retail space on all floors will also be reconfigured so
as to maximise the efficiency at the mall. In addition, a rooftop
landscaped garden will be constructed on Level 6.
