We checked the arithmetic: S$1.53 million ÷ 678 sq ft is about S$2,257 psf, S$1.95 million ÷ 969 sq ft is about S$2,012 psf, and S$2.64 million ÷ 1,485 sq ft is about S$1,778 psf (the small differences come from rounded prices). Stacked Homes' yearly averages rose from S$1,493 psf in 2013 to S$2,092 psf in 2026 (January to September). Averages mix unit sizes and floors, so compare like-for-like units using URA caveats before drawing conclusions.

What do J Gateway units rent for?

Stacked Homes recorded 402 leases starting between September 2025 and August 2026, with a median rent of S$4,500 a month. Medians by type were S$3,750 for 1-bedroom (155 leases), S$4,600 for 2-bedroom (145), S$6,000 for 3-bedroom (88) and S$7,300 for 4-bedroom units (14). We do not quote a rental yield, because estimates differ between sites and a yield depends on each buyer's purchase price.

Who might J Gateway suit?

This is a summary of trade-offs, not a recommendation. J Gateway's distinctive features are a short walk to an MRT interchange that will gain a third line, and a large 738-unit estate with a steady flow of resales and leases. The trade-offs: it is a 99-year lease that started in 2012, so just under 85 years remain, and resale prices are now well above the S$1,480 psf launch average. Our guide to lease decay and CPF rules explains how remaining lease affects financing, and the ABSD guide covers stamp duties on second and later purchases.

Correction

30 September 2026: An earlier version of this page gave the address as "38 Jurong East Street 21", described MCL Land as a joint venture of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land, and said J Gateway was completed in 2013 on a lease from 2009, with one- to five-bedroom units from 484 to 1,506 sq ft and a 450 m, eight-minute walk to Jurong East MRT. J Gateway is at 2 and 6 Gateway Drive, was developed by MCL Land (Gateway) Pte Ltd, was completed in 2016 and has a 99-year lease from 28 August 2012. It has no five-bedroom units; sizes run from 474 sq ft to 2,024 sq ft for penthouses. Stacked Homes gives the walk to Jurong East as about 440 m, or five minutes. Unsupported claims about nearby schools, Jurong Lake Gardens, oversupply, rental void periods and capital growth were removed, as was an offer of a paid "full report".
