Within Project Jewel, there will be unique leisure attractions and activities for the young and old – including a large-scale, lush indoor garden with a central waterfall of about 40 metres in height – and a wide range of retail and dining offerings, including exciting new-to-Singapore concepts, top international brands as well as home-grown names.
The facilities for airport operations in Project Jewel will further strengthen Changi Airport’s existing service offerings to enhance the passenger’s travel journey. There will be facilities dedicated to the fly-cruise and fly-coach passenger segment, as well as training facilities and communal event spaces for the 32,000-strong airport community. The basement car park will almost treble the capacity of the current T1 car park to about 2,500 parking spaces. In addition, Project Jewel will also serve as a node that improves connectivity between Terminals 1, 2, 3 and the Changi Airport MRT station.
The redevelopment of the T1 car park will allow CAG to meet a critical objective of increasing Changi Airport’s passenger handling capacity. As part of the redevelopment works, T1, which was previously hemmed in by roadways, will be expanded, allowing for more space for the arrival meeters and greeters hall, baggage claim areas and taxi bays.
Mr Lee Seow Hiang, Chief Executive Officer of CAG, said, “Project Jewel is a significant game-changing project for CAG in our journey to strengthen Changi Airport’s status as a major global air hub. In today’s highly competitive landscape where airports around the world are actively competing for passengers’ mindshare, we cannot stop innovating. Project Jewel will give us this additional edge.”
“With its strategic location at Changi Airport’s doorstep, we are able to integrate this exciting destination seamlessly with the airport’s offerings, to serve both international travellers and local visitors. For the many Singaporeans who already enjoy coming to the airport for leisure, Project Jewel will offer an unprecedented experience of another level. Together with our partner, CapitaMalls Asia, a very established player in the arena of lifestyle and retail developments regionally, we are confident that Project Jewel will be a world-class attraction near home that Singaporeans will not only enjoy immensely, but be proud of. This, together with our other key expansion projects – Terminal 4 and Changi East – positions Changi Airport very strongly for growth over the long-term.”
Mr Lim Beng Chee, Chief Executive Officer of CapitaMalls Asia, said, “CapitaMalls Asia is excited about partnering Changi Airport Group to create a must-visit destination for tourists to Singapore and passengers transiting through Changi Airport, as well as a unique place that Singaporeans and local residents can enjoy with their families and friends. Located at the airport, the site presents an ideal opportunity for global and local retailers and FB operators to create one-of-a-kind stores and dining concepts, to cater to a ready cosmopolitan catchment with more than 50 million passenger movements from 270 cities every year. This will provide an ideal platform both for American and European retailers to introduce and promote their offerings in Asia, as well as Asian retailers to do likewise with a global audience. The integration of indoor gardens, attractions and retail offerings in a single venue will also give brands that have yet to enter Singapore or even Asia, a good reason to be here.”
“We will leverage our experience in developing iconic shopping malls and integrated developments both in Singapore and around Asia, and our well-established network of international and local retailers to deliver a landmark project that will be the pride of Singapore.”
Construction for Project Jewel is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2014, and the development is targeted to open by the end of 2018.
