Former Shuqun Secondary School site in Jurong East may yield up to 1,800 homes
On April 10, URA released a recommended change 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 alteration is intended to uphold future residential property development and fulfill housing need.
Other college locations that have actually been transferred or closed– and ultimately earmarked for residential development– include the former Temasek Primary and Secondary Schools locations at the junction of Upper Changi Road and Bedok South Road; Bedok Town Secondary 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 place is close to (around 600m) to the Jurong East MRT Interchange Terminal (East-West and North-South Lines), shopping center, and the Jurong local center, which is extremely practical for future locals, Sun observes. It is additionally efficient for locals doing work in Tuas or Jurong workplaces or industrial areas. She expects “demand to be strong” should HDB condos or private property be built on the plot.
According to Christine Sun, primary researcher and strategist at Realion (OrangeTee & Tie), the area might possibly produce around 1,150 to 1,250 HDB flats, or around 1,750 to 1,800 exclusive condominium units.
A few of the nearest household kick off in the Jurong or west region include the 440-unit Sora on Yuan Ching Road, the 347-unit The Sen and the upcoming 863-unit Tengah Garden Residences, indicates 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 sold.
The previous Shuqun Senior high school closed in 2019 complying with its merger with Yuhua Senior high school. The place at 450 Jurong East Street 21 lies inside 400m of the upcoming Toh Guan MRT Stop on the Jurong Region Line, and is near to amenities such as Yuhua Village Market and Yuhua Elementary School.
“Private housing need in the west are going to still boost as even more apartments in Tengah will be getting MOP in the next 4 to five years, and several HDB owners will be prepared to upgrade to an exclusive home,” she includes.
URA has suggested raising the progression level of a former school spot in Jurong East, in a decision that might produce substantially more houses.
