Former Shuqun Secondary School site in Jurong East may yield up to 1,800 homes
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 Terminal on the Jurong Region Line, and is close to amenities such as Yuhua Village Market and Yuhua Primary School.
Many other school locations that have been transferred or closed up– and subsequently allocated for non commercial property development– include the previous 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 Grade 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 Station (East-West and North-South Lines), mall, and the Jurong regional center, that is extremely convenient for future locals, Sun observes. It is also convenient for locals working in Tuas or Jurong business offices or industrial areas. She anticipates “demand to be strong” should HDB apartments or private housing be built on the plot.
“Private housing demand in the west will continue to raise as even more flats in Tengah will certainly be getting MOP in the next 4 to five years, and several HDB owners will be prepared to improve to an exclusive home,” she includes.
URA has suggested enhancing the progression strength of a past school site in Jurong East, in a decision that could produce dramatically more homes.
According to Christine Sun, chief researcher and planner at Realion (OrangeTee & Tie), the location might potentially generate around 1,150 to 1,250 HDB flats, or around 1,750 to 1,800 exclusive condominium units.
On April 10, URA released a proposed change to the Master Plan 2025, which includes elevating 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 project and fulfill real estate demand.
Some of the nearest non commercial release in the Jurong or west area involve 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 data in February 2026, 90 of 347 units at The Sen and 209 of 440 units at Sora had actually been offered.
