Tay stated “The development of the JID will see the currently sleepy Jurong West locale transformed into a thriving hub of activity. As the development of the JID takes shape, we can expect demand for real estate ranging from homes, offices, retail, hospitality and industrial to rise, and along with this, a general rise in real estate values in and around the JID.” She also added, “It would also trigger private-sector interest in real estate development and investment, and thus, we can expect to see an increased level of activity in this locality in time to come. Potentially, the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme might soon start to incorporate land parcels in and around the JID to kick-start the transformation.”
