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.
The ice rink upgrade was in response to Kallang Leisure Park's new
rink? hurhur.
Anyway, kallang leisure park cinema the seats not very
comfortable i think.. the cinema is run by the shopping mall itself
