Former Shuqun Secondary School site in Jurong East may yield up to 1,800 homes
URA has actually suggested boosting the development intensity of a previous school site in Jurong East, in a move that can yield substantially extra houses.
According to Christine Sun, primary researcher and strategist at Realion (OrangeTee & Tie), the area can potentially generate approximately 1,150 to 1,250 HDB flats, or around 1,750 to 1,800 exclusive condo units.
Many other institution locations that have actually been moved or closed– and ultimately earmarked for residential development– include the previous Temasek Primary and Secondary Schools locations at the junction of Upper Changi Road and Bedok South Road; Bedok Town Senior High School in Bedok North; Qiaonan Grade School at Tampines Street 11; Angsana Primary School (Tampines Street 22); and Siglap High School in Pasir Ris.
The place is close-by (about 600m) to the Jurong East MRT Interchange Station (East-West and North-South Lines), shopping malls, and the Jurong regional hub, which is very convenient for future homeowners, Sun observes. It is also beneficial for homeowners working in Tuas or Jurong workplaces or industrial areas. She anticipates “demand to be sturdy” should HDB apartments or private housing be developed on the plot.
“Private real estate demand in the west will continue to improve as more apartments in Tengah will be obtaining MOP in the next four to five years, and lots of HDB owners will be ready to improve to an exclusive home,” she includes.
Some of the closest household release in the Jurong or west region consist of the 440-unit Sora on Yuan Ching Roadway, the 347-unit The Sen and the upcoming 863-unit Tengah Garden Residences, mentions Sun. According to URA monthly developer sales data in February 2026, 90 of 347 units at The Sen and 209 of 440 units at Sora had been sold.
The previous Shuqun Secondary School closed in 2019 complying with its merger with Yuhua High school. The place at 450 Jurong East Street 21 is located within 400m of the upcoming Toh Guan MRT Station on the Jurong Region Line, and is nearby to amenities such as Yuhua Village Market and Yuhua Primary School.
On April 10, URA released a suggested amendment to the Master Plan 2025, which includes elevating the plot ratio of the 3ha area at 450 Jurong East Street 21 from 3.5 to 5.0. The revision is meant to sustain future non commercial project and fulfill real estate need.
