Blocks 63 to 66 Yung Kuang Road were built by the Jurong Town Corporation (JTC) in the 1970s to attract investments and create more local jobs. Companies based in the Jurong industrial area rented units from these blocks to house their employees, which included foreigners. The blocks connect to form a diamond, with a courtyard at their center. Unlike modern HDB flats which have void decks, the ground levels of the JTC blocks were typically occupied by shops and residential units.
