I decided to make a seperate thread as the other thread is about the JEM mall. So here are some pics that I posted before.

Here are some pics I took of the J Cube today. It seems that they are on schedule right now. :)

http://www.greatnewplaces.com/c696-JCube

It promises to be the new chic mall with everything that you will ever need all under one roof! From fashion, dining, entertainment and even sports, JCube will be a multi-faceted lifestyle destination offering spectacular design and unrivalled shopping experiences to the young, professionals and residents living and working in Jurong Lake District.

JCube is strategically located in the midst of a transportation hub. It is situated at the intersection of Jurong East Central 1 and Jurong Gateway Road (former Jurong East Street 13). The new mall will, therefore, be minutes from the Jurong East MRT Station and bus interchange, capitalising on the vibrancy the area will bring.

The complete makeover of Jurong Entertainment Centre into a brand new mall will offer significant value creation. JCube will capitalise on increased patronage arising from the Government’s plan to transform Jurong into a vibrant commercial and leisure destination in the next 10 to 15 years. Jurong Lake District has been envisioned as a unique lakeside destination for business and leisure. It will feature two distinct but complementary precincts: Jurong Gateway, a vibrant commercial hub; and Lakeside, a waterfront leisure destination.

Jurong Gateway will have an eclectic mix of office, retail, residential, hotel, entertainment, and F&B outlets. It offers a highly attractive location outside the city centre for company headquarters and business services to capitalise on the huge talent pool, the presence of high-value, knowledge-based businesses, tertiary institutions and research hubs in the vicinity.

Lakeside, the new waterfront playground, will offer leisure options and greenery. Plans are in the pipeline for new family edutainment attractions as well as other recreational opportunities at the waterfront. A new world-class science centre will also be developed next to the lake in the near future.

The ‘J’ in JCube stands for ‘Jurong’, the mall’s location in Jurong while ‘Cube’ epitomises the architectural concept of the mall - a six-sided development with façade walls designed to resemble an ice cube. The name also connotes the mall’s multi-faceted offerings and the Juxtaposition of enJoyable shopping and sports in Jurong.

Designed by Singapore’s leading architectural firm, RSP Architects, in collaboration with international architectural and design firm, Benoy, the new shopping mall and its concept will definitely be the trendsetting lifestyle destination for professionals, managers, executives and businessmen as well as residents in Jurong.

Expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012, JCube will comprise five levels of retail, two basement levels of car park and a rooftop landscaped plaza. It will have approximately 204,000 square feet in net lettable area and is expected to be twice the original size as when it was formerly the Jurong Entertainment Centre.

http://www.greatnewplaces.com/images/Stores/img1425_21032011101419.jpeg

Drawing shoppers to the mall will be the latest high-street brands, fashionable restaurants and cafés, pubs, bars, Cineplex, supermarket and even a skating ring. JCube and IMM will complement each other and be the definitive shopping malls in the western part of Singapore. Visitors will be able to shop, dine and entertain in round-the-clock F&B outlets, pubs and bars. Some of these food outlets will be located around Singapore’s first and fully integrated Olympic-size ice skating rink on Level Three. Complete with a 463-seat gallery and changing rooms, Singapore will be able to host international ice skating and ice hockey events and competitions at the rink.

Like all the other CapitaLand malls, JCube will also be flying the green flag. The eco-friendly mall will be fitted with energy-saving features such as a rainwater harvesting tank and an ice rink grey-water recycling system. Waste heat from the ice rink chiller will also be recycled to heat the water at the rink’s shower rooms and the ice re-surfacing machine.

A landscaped garden on the rooftop with a Teflon-covered event space and an outdoor terrace on Level Two will provide the building with green lungs and serve to soften the building façade as well. With all these offerings and more, JCube is already creating a buzz and an air of anticipation as the new chic hangout in Singapore’s west!

JCube: Singapore's Green Mall

The heartland mall is still being constructed but has already won acclaim for its sustainable design.
http://www.indesignlive.asia/articles/projects/project-news/JCube-Singapores-Green-Mall

JCube, a CapitaMall Trust development, will be a large new mall located in the West of Singapore, at the intersection of Jurong East Central 1 and Jurong Gateway Road. Currently in the process of being constructed, it is slated for completion in the first quarter of 2012.

While yet to open its doors, the mall has already won a prestigious award. In the middle of May, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) of Singapore awarded JCube the Platinum Green Mark Award, their highest honour. The Green Mark Award was begun in January 2005 as a way of differentiating buildings that incorporate internationally recognised sustainability practices. This year, out of the 162 Green Mark Awards given, 45 were Platinum Green Marks.

JCube is being positioned as a trendsetting, multifaceted lifestyle destination for the young, working professionals and the residents in west Singapore and is designed by multi-award winning firm RSP Architects Planners & Engineers.

Its form will be a six-sided development resembling an ice cube. This is almost certainly partly because a fully integrated Olympic-sized ice skating rink (Singapore's first), complete with a 463-seater gallery and changing rooms, will be located on Level 3. Space around the rink will be fully utilised with commercial shop spaces, envisioned to be eventually taken up by high-street fashion outlets, and restaurants, pubs and bars. The ice cube facade will be softened with an outdoor terrace on Level 2 and a rooftop landscaped garden with a Teflon-covered event space on Level 5.

The construction of JCube began with a pre-demolition audit to determine the type and quantity of waste that would be generated. Any materials and equipment that could be salvaged were reused and recycled and the construction of the development heavily features recycled concrete and other green-certified materials.

The green elements incorporated into the design include LED lights and motion sensors to activate the lights at staircase landings as well as solar panels to supplement the mall's energy needs. The ice rink will have heat recovery features to recycle heat and an automatic tube cleaning system installed to increase productivity of the air-conditioning plant. There will also be a rainwater harvesting tank and recycling process of the condensate water of the air handling units.

The developer CapitaMall Trust has also committed to educating JCube's visitors about sustainability and the mall's green features through educational panels and displays.

Going to complete soon...

CapitaLand JCube's render showed lights emanating along the building's facade.
With Mith252 good perspective, we can see the physical construction in place for the LED light bar which are joint at each juncture, providing for some form of colourful light play across the building in the evenings.
With a hint from Benoy's design for Ion Orchard, there is opportunity for the lights to emanate in a random fashion, or programmable to shine from each light bar giving an illusion of light streaking through the building.

Passed by Jurong East bus interchange the other day. J-Cube seems to be nearing completion.

Went night cycling at around 1am and saw this. Lighting scheme was only lit on one side but it would give us a rough idea of what the whole building may look like. Sorry for the bad quality, used my iPhone :p

Cool lighting for JCube!
There is a chance for an LED screen to be installed on JCube's front facade, just directly below JCube's and CapitalMall Trust's corporate logo. It could be either an SPH MBO Digital OOH (DOOH) or Digital Out of House signage for advertising commercials, similar to 313@Somerset or Mediacorp's OOH media on Ion Orchard or Orchard Central facades.

This could add on some vibe to JCube's exciting facade from vantage points across the road, especially from Jurong East elevated station platform and the temporary bus interchange at ground level.
I hope for a Shibuya-109 style LED animated projection but here is hoping future malls in the area would give Jurong East that favour akin to Tokyo's.

S'pore's first Olympic-size ice rink to open in April
by Philip Goh Haw Hann
Updated 10:57 AM Mar 21, 2012

The Republic's hopes of sending an athlete to the Winter Olympics were boosted with the announcement of the opening of an Olympic-size skating rink here next month.

According to a media release yesterday, the new 60m by 30m rink is located on level 3 of the new JCube shopping mall in Jurong East and will open on April 2 when the mall opens for business.

Apart from recreational skating, the rink will also be suitable for figure skating, speed skating and ice hockey, which are sports that are competed at the Winter Olympic Games.

The Singapore Sports Council (SSC) has awarded the management of the rink - which has a 460-seat gallery and rink-side dining - to CapitaLand Retail Management, the wholly-owned subsidiary of CapitaMalls Asia.

Welcoming the announcement of the new rink, Singapore Ice Skating Association president Sonja Chong told Today: "Being the first Olympic size rink here, JCube offers more opportunities to reach out to the community and to bring internationally-recognised events to Singapore.

"JCube has been developed with the community in mind. I am excited to be able to reach out to more Singaporeans and make the sport of ice skating more accessible." PHILIP GOH

Shoppers can also exercise and get fit in the cool comfort of the rink. With its extended-hours dining options, JCube will become the meeting place for anyone with an interest in ice sports and a late-night hangout for people in the western part of Singapore. We will continue to work closely with the Singapore Sports Council to bring exciting events and activities to the rink and make ice sports easily accessible to all.”

This is wonderful news for the sizeable Japanese community and companies residing and working in the west of Singapore!

I am hoping for Muji or Uniqlo to open in the future at Jurong Gateway and maybe departmental stores such as Isetan, Takashimaya or even Mitsukoshi.

I am hoping for Muji or Uniqlo to open in the future at Jurong Gateway and maybe departmental stores such as Isetan, Takashimaya or even Mitsukoshi.
Please, no more UNIQLO. There are too many already. Mitsukoshi, highly doubt it, since it's Isetan.

Got a couple of pictures of JCube's ice-skating rink. About 6 more days when it opens!

Hi ddes, Lend Lease will be bringing in Uniqlo to JEM for Q2 2013. Founder of Fast Retailing, Tadashi-san is positioning Uniqlo in expanding aggressively in South East Asia and China with the rise of the middle income folks.

Hopefully, you can find a good brand which you like for Jurong Gateway!

Cinemagoers in Singapore can enjoy FREE trial screenings of upcoming movie trailers at the new IMAX digital hall in JCube Mall in Jurong East. These screenings will take place over three days from 2-4th Apr, 11 am – 8 pm and each session will last 30 minutes.

The new digital IMAX hall is Singapore’s first surburban IMAX hall and is a part of the spanking new seven-screen Shaw cineplex. Its opening in April this year is set to benefit cinemagoers residing in the west.

Thanks for the update. It looks a bit bland to be brutally honest.

I though it is completed???

check out my photos of JCube here (http://jieshun.wordpress.com/2012/04/08/jcube/)! Quite an awesome mall, except walkways are too cramped. A really good tenant mix, with a huge chunk of dining outlets.

The mall dazzles at night with its lighting! It does look pretty meh in the day, but its better than it being a square box with no windows or lines or rooftop structures.

^^Been to Jcube a few days ago. It is quite crowded right now. The main draw right now is the skating rink. :)
