Former Shuqun Secondary School site in Jurong East may yield up to 1,800 homes
URA has proposed enhancing the progression level of a former school location in Jurong East, in a decision that can yield significantly more houses.
“Private housing need in the west are going to continue to boost as even more flats in Tengah will be getting MOP in the following 4 to five years, and many HDB owners will certainly be prepared to improve to an exclusive home,” she includes.
The site 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, that is extremely hassle-free for future homeowners, Sun observes. It is also beneficial for residents working in Tuas or Jurong offices or industrial areas. She expects “demand to be robust” should HDB flats or private property be developed on the plot.
Some of the closest residential launches 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, indicates 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 marketed.
On April 10, URA published a proposed change to the Master Plan 2025, that includes increasing the plot ratio of the 3ha site at 450 Jurong East Street 21 from 3.5 to 5.0. The alteration is meant to sustain future residential development and meet real estate need.
According to Christine Sun, primary analyst and strategist at Realion (OrangeTee & Tie), the area might possibly yield around 1,150 to 1,250 HDB flats, or around 1,750 to 1,800 exclusive condominium units.
Many other institution sites that have actually been transferred or closed up– and ultimately earmarked for residential property development– consist of the previous Temasek Primary and Secondary Schools sites at the junction of Upper Changi Road and Bedok South Road; Bedok Town High School in Bedok North; Qiaonan Primary School at Tampines Street 11; Angsana Primary School (Tampines Street 22); and Siglap High School in Pasir Ris.
The previous Shuqun Senior high school closed in 2019 complying with its merger with Yuhua Secondary School. The site at 450 Jurong East Street 21 is located within 400m of the upcoming Toh Guan MRT Terminal on the Jurong Region Line, and is nearby to amenities like Yuhua Village Market and Yuhua Grade School.
