Former Shuqun Secondary School site in Jurong East may yield up to 1,800 homes
URA has suggested enhancing the progression level of a past academic institution spot in Jurong East, in a move that might generate significantly more houses.
According to Christine Sun, chief researcher and strategist at Realion (OrangeTee & Tie), the area might potentially produce approximately 1,150 to 1,250 HDB flats, or around 1,750 to 1,800 exclusive apartment units.
“Private housing demand in the west will still boost as even more condos in Tengah will certainly be obtaining MOP in the following four to 5 years, and many HDB owners will be ready to improve to a private home,” she includes.
On April 10, URA published a suggested amendment to the Master Plan 2025, that includes raising the plot ratio of the 3ha area at 450 Jurong East Street 21 from 3.5 to 5.0. The modification is planned to support future non commercial property development and meet housing demand.
The site is close-by (around 600m) to the Jurong East MRT Interchange Station (East-West and North-South Lines), shopping center, and the Jurong regional center, which is highly practical for future homeowners, Sun observes. It is likewise efficient for locals doing work in Tuas or Jurong offices or industrial areas. She expects “demand to be robust” should HDB apartments or private property be developed on the plot.
The former Shuqun High school closed in 2019 following 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 close to amenities such as Yuhua Village Market and Yuhua Primary School.
A few of the closest residential release in the Jurong or west area include 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 actually been marketed.
Many other institution sites that have actually been transferred or shut– and consequently set aside for non commercial development– include 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 Elementary School at Tampines Street 11; Angsana Primary School (Tampines Street 22); and Siglap High School in Pasir Ris.
