Former Shuqun Secondary School site in Jurong East may yield up to 1,800 homes
On April 10, URA released a suggested amendment to the Master Plan 2025, which includes raising the plot ratio of the 3ha site at 450 Jurong East Street 21 from 3.5 to 5.0. The alteration is intended to support future residence property development and fulfill real estate demand.
The previous Shuqun High school closed in 2019 complying with its merger with Yuhua Secondary School. The place at 450 Jurong East Street 21 is located 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 Primary School.
URA has actually suggested increasing the progression level of a former school spot in Jurong East, in a step that can yield dramatically more houses.
A few of the closest residential release in the Jurong or west area 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 data in February 2026, 90 of 347 units at The Sen and 209 of 440 units at Sora had actually been sold.
According to Christine Sun, primary researcher and planner at Realion (OrangeTee & Tie), the location can possibly generate around 1,150 to 1,250 HDB flats, or around 1,750 to 1,800 exclusive condo units.
“Private housing need in the west will continue to increase as even more condos in Tengah will be acquiring MOP in the following 4 to five years, and many HDB owners will be ready to upgrade to a private home,” she includes.
The site is close to (around 600m) to the Jurong East MRT Interchange Terminal (East-West and North-South Lines), mall, and the Jurong regional hub, which is highly practical for future locals, Sun observes. It is also efficient for residents doing work in Tuas or Jurong offices or industrial areas. She anticipates “need to be sturdy” should HDB apartments or private property be constructed on the plot.
Many other institution sites that have been relocated or closed up– and subsequently set aside for non commercial development– consist of the previous Temasek Primary and Secondary Schools locations 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.
