The Historical Transformation of Lakeside’s Jurong Area

Jurong lies in Singapore’s western region and has come a long way since it first emerged as a small settlement during the 1900s, from modest beginnings into an active district with numerous rubber plantations, fishing ponds, and other amenities in its early days. Now one of Singapore’s vibrant districts, Jurong is renowned for its variety of entertainment offerings as well as being home to some of Singapore’s highest educational institutes and businesses.

Attracted by its rich clayey soil known as ‘nian tu’, Jurong became an epicenter for brickworks and pottery industries, producing three million bricks every month to meet local development demands. This signaled Jurong’s initial steps toward industrialisation – marking its gradual transformation.

In the 1960s, under the watchful guidance of Dutch economist Albert Winsemius, Jurong’s major industrialisation wave began to flourish. A vast swamp was carefully managed in order to open up space for residential, recreational, and industrial facilities; National Iron & Steel Mills became the focal point of these efforts on September 1, 1962 with sectors including shipbuilding, sawmilling, timber production and oil-rig fabrication at its forefront.

From 1970-1990, Jurong Industrial Estate experienced rapid development through infrastructure investments and recreational facilities that aimed at increasing its attractiveness for workers – thus leading to significant advancements of public transport systems such as MRT and LRT rail networks.
As Jurong expanded, amenities essential for comfortable living quickly followed, including markets, schools, sports complexes, libraries, worship places, polyclinics, community centres and even a country club. Such rapid expansion transformed Jurong into a self-sufficient and holistic residential area.

Today, Jurong stands as an embodiment of Singapore’s visionary planning, providing its residents with quality living full of amenities. SORA Condo in Lakeside celebrates this legacy while providing future residents with a vibrant lifestyle – making the property one of its unique selling points.
