Westgate is a lifestyle and family shopping mall in Jurong East, Singapore. It is located close to Jurong East MRT station and Jurong East Bus Interchange.[4] It is also connected with another shopping mall called Jem.

Background

Located at the heart of Jurong Gateway, the integrated retail and office development compromises of a 7-level lifestyle and family shopping mall and a 20-level office tower known as Westgate Tower.

An Isetan Supermarket was located at Basement 2, the lowest level in Westgate. It closed on 8 March 2020.[5] There is also the Westgate Wonderland on Level 4 that consists of a gym, Fitness First, a swimming pool[6] and a childcare centre called Kids Club at Level 5.

On 23 May 2021, the mall, along with neighboring Jem was closed for 2 weeks to 5 June due to COVID-19 after it was discovered that a cluster had emerged in those malls.[7]
