Chitchat What happen to jcube and bigbox now
- Thread starter sbfuncle
- Start date
Need to check with PAP about West Coast plan
I am familiar with the ongoings in the western part of Sinkieland.
JCube will be demolished to build another 'mixed development' nonsense on its site. The ice skating rink, Tiong Scarlett mart and Daiso will be missed. I am old enough to fondly remember the Jurong Entertainment Centre (JEC) that was on the spot JCube is standing on now.
Big Box is no more, it has been sold and renovated to become Perennial Business City, a place to rent rooms for conferences and events. There's a nice area on the ground floor where you can sit on the benches and relax. Big Box could never compete with its retail competitors of the Capitalmalls cartel nearby (JCube, Westgate, IMM) or the JEM mall next to it.

JEM and Westgate killed Jcube. Such a small area, how to support four malls? It's not Orchard Road.
Perennial Business City sounds... like an ok idea in the medium to long term, depends on how much the Jurong CBD can be built up in the next 5 to 10 years, with or without HSR.
I totally cannot remember what was on jcube ground before jcube was built even I visited JE very frequently last time.
I can still see big box.building standing tall.
Means is another place like expo but is for West events. And suntec for central.

The whole place is meant for the silky transport between jb and sink but it din happen.
JCube was a shopping centre located in Jurong East, Singapore that operated from 2 April 2012 to 6 August 2023. It used to house an Olympic-size ice rink and Singapore's first IMAX theatre in the suburbs. It was built on the former site of the Jurong Entertainment Centre
Trying to recall what it was like before jcube.
Realised just a change in the shape of the building.

You can go to Google Maps street view, then slide the timeline back to the early 2010s or mid-late 2000s.
You can see what many places used to look like before 'developments'.
Sony's office moved to Big Box
Building design looks dated, bridge so small cannot cater 6.9 million, zebra crossing so long and dangerous siaolang driving cars can just bowling a bunch of pedestrians just like that...
To cater for the influx of tiongs and their dirty money.
Indeed. No room for ice skating... or horse racing. There are more profitable developments.
Yup...profitable developments like expensive foodcourts and fancy Michelin stars restaurants that only the rich elites can enjoy.Indeed. No room for ice skating... or horse racing. There are more profitable developments.
I think many little sinkies doesn't know how to skate and dance and doesn't want to learn or scare to do it so no market for it.Indeed. No room for ice skating... or horse racing. There are more profitable developments.
Also the hard-core horse punters already left with not many years of lifespan
Sad

Not really, the JCube ice skating rink is always fairly crowded when I visited it.
'No market for this'... keep thinking along this line, no wonder the PAP technocrats love to screw you.
SG does not have critical population mass even at 6m... We need to impork more than 20m to huat big big hah
I thought those were mostly all curious spectators and the skaters are always the same group of repetitive customersNot really, the JCube ice skating rink is always fairly crowded when I visited it.
