Jurong Entertainment Centre
CapitaLand (2005–2010)
Jurong Entertainment Centre was an entertainment centre once located at Jurong East, Singapore.
Background
Opened in September 1993, the shopping centre was within walking distance from Jurong East MRT station. It had a net lettable retail floor area of 110,000 square feet (10,000 m2), featuring a 4-screen cineplex operated by Shaw Theatres, an amusement arcade, a bowling alley, some retail shops and eateries, and the Fuji Ice Palace on third floor, one of the only two ice rinks in Singapore.
In 2000, 2 more screens were added to the existing 4-screen cineplex.
Redevelopment
The Jurong Entertainment Centre was acquired by CapitaMall Trust Management Limited for S$68 million in 2005.[1] It was closed for redevelopment in October 2008 and was expected to be completed by 2011.
The S$138.2 million asset enhancement work planned to house Singapore's first Olympic-size ice skating rink[2] measuring 60m x 30m with a 460-seat gallery for spectators.[3] Other asset enhancement includes a newly created floor where the present cineplex was relocated to. The retail space on all floors was also reconfigured so as to maximise the efficiency at the mall. In addition, a rooftop landscaped garden was constructed on the top level.
Demolition
However, due to the financial crisis of 2007–2008 and high construction costs, the redevelopment programme was delayed. The building was completely demolished in February 2010.
JCube
On 21 May 2010, CapitaMall Trust held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new mall on the site of the former Jurong Entertainment Centre.[4]
The 204,000 square feet (19,000 m2) new mall, named JCube, comprises five levels of retail, two basement levels of car park and a rooftop landscaped plaza. JCube started welcoming shoppers on 2 April 2012,[5] and is managed by CapitaMalls Asia.[6]
