International Business Park & one-north

Some of Singapore's key employment and research hubs lie close to Faber Residence at Faber Walk. The International Business Park is within walking distance, and one-north and Singapore Science Park are a short drive away.

International Business Park at Faber Residence's Doorstep

The International Business Park is about a 5-minute walk by the developer's estimate. It forms part of Jurong Lake District, which the brochure, citing jld.gov.sg, describes with 100,000 new jobs and 120 hectares of space for businesses. The district is planned around four MRT lines, including the Cross Island Line. Two side gates also open onto the sheltered walkway along Faber Walk. For the daily commute, a covered linkway of about 140m runs from a side gate to the bus stop on the AYE, and Jurong Town Hall MRT station on the Jurong Region Line (under construction, working name) is about a 10-minute walk. For more on the district, see the Clementi and Jurong Lake District guide.

one-north and Science Park from Faber Residence

one-north is about a 9-minute drive. The brochure describes it as home to research, science and infocomm firms, together with the LaunchPad start-up cluster. Singapore Science Park I is about a 10-minute drive and Science Park II about 14 minutes. The National University of Singapore is about 7 minutes away, so the stretch from Clementi to Kent Ridge brings study, research and work within easy reach. The National University Hospital, about a 9-minute drive, and Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, about 6 minutes, round out a corridor where education, healthcare and research sit close together. Families weighing school options can turn to the schools guide.

Travel times are the developer's estimates from its brochure (Google Maps) and vary with traffic and route.

Faber Residence and the Greater Southern Waterfront

Further south, the Greater Southern Waterfront is set to take shape as the port moves to Tuas, freeing about 1,000 hectares of land and 30km of coastline from Marina East to Pasir Panjang, as outlined in the brochure. The AYE, about a 7-minute drive, is the natural route there. With Jurong Lake District to the west and the Greater Southern Waterfront to the south, Faber Walk sits between two areas of long-term planned change. Road and rail links are set out in the Jurong Town Hall MRT guide.
