Former Shuqun Secondary School site in Jurong East may yield up to 1,800 homes
On April 10, URA published a suggested modification to the Master Plan 2025, that includes increasing the plot proportion of the 3ha site at 450 Jurong East Street 21 from 3.5 to 5.0. The revision is meant to support future non commercial property development and fulfill housing need.
The place is close to (around 600m) to the Jurong East MRT Interchange Terminal (East-West and North-South Lines), mall, and the Jurong regional center, that is very practical for future locals, Sun observes. It is likewise convenient for homeowners doing work in Tuas or Jurong offices or industrial areas. She anticipates “demand to be robust” should HDB apartments or private property be constructed on the plot.
According to Christine Sun, primary analyst and strategist at Realion (OrangeTee & Tie), the site could possibly produce around 1,150 to 1,250 HDB flats, or around 1,750 to 1,800 private condo units.
URA has suggested increasing the development level of a former academic institution location in Jurong East, in a decision that could produce substantially more homes.
Other school spots that have been transferred or closed– and ultimately allocated for residential development– include the previous Temasek Primary and Secondary Schools sites at the junction of Upper Changi Road and Bedok South Road; Bedok Town Secondary School in Bedok North; Qiaonan Elementary School at Tampines Street 11; Angsana Primary School (Tampines Street 22); and Siglap Secondary School in Pasir Ris.
Several of the closest residential launches in the Jurong or west region feature the 440-unit Sora on Yuan Ching Road, the 347-unit The Sen and the upcoming 863-unit Tengah Garden Residences, mentions Sun. According to URA monthly developer sales information in February 2026, 90 of 347 units at The Sen and 209 of 440 units at Sora had actually been marketed.
“Private real estate need in the west are going to continue to increase as even more flats in Tengah will be getting MOP in the following four to 5 years, and numerous HDB owners will be ready to upgrade to a private home,” she adds.
The former Shuqun Senior high school shut in 2019 following its merger with Yuhua Secondary School. The place at 450 Jurong East Street 21 lies inside 400m of the upcoming Toh Guan MRT Station on the Jurong Region Line, and is near to amenities like Yuhua Village Market and Yuhua Grade School.
