On 9 May 2018, LTA announced that Pandan Reservoir station would be part of the proposed Jurong Region line (JRL).

Contract J109 also includes the design and construction of the Jurong Town Hall and Toh Guan stations and the 3.6-kilometre (2.2-mile) associated viaducts.

[5][6][7][8] Initially expected to open in 2027, the restrictions on the construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to delays in the JRL line completion, and the date was pushed to 2028.

It is located in the Jurong East planning area in the Teban Gardens subzone,[10] next to Commonwealth Secondary School.

Access to the station will be via 5 exits on each side of Jurong Town Hall Road.
