Former Shuqun Secondary School site in Jurong East may yield up to 1,800 homes
The previous Shuqun Secondary School shut in 2019 complying with its merger with Yuhua Secondary School. The site at 450 Jurong East Street 21 lies within 400m of the upcoming Toh Guan MRT Station on the Jurong Region Line, and is close to amenities such as Yuhua Village Market and Yuhua Primary School.
On April 10, URA published a suggested modification to the Master Plan 2025, which includes raising the plot proportion of the 3ha site at 450 Jurong East Street 21 from 3.5 to 5.0. The alteration is meant to support future non commercial development and fulfill real estate need.
According to Christine Sun, chief analyst and planner at Realion (OrangeTee & Tie), the site can possibly produce approximately 1,150 to 1,250 HDB flats, or around 1,750 to 1,800 private apartment units.
“Private real estate interest in the west will continue to raise as more apartments in Tengah will certainly be acquiring MOP in the next four to 5 years, and several HDB owners will certainly be prepared to upgrade to a private home,” she adds.
Some of the closest non commercial kick off in the Jurong or west region feature 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 information in February 2026, 90 of 347 units at The Sen and 209 of 440 units at Sora had been offered.
URA has actually suggested increasing the development strength of a former academic institution spot in Jurong East, in a step that could produce considerably a lot more houses.
The place is close-by (about 600m) to the Jurong East MRT Interchange Station (East-West and North-South Lines), shopping center, and the Jurong regional centre, that is highly practical for future locals, Sun observes. It is also efficient for people doing work in Tuas or Jurong workplaces or industrial areas. She anticipates “need to be sturdy” should HDB condos or private property be constructed on the plot.
Many other school sites that have been transferred or closed up– and ultimately set aside for non commercial development– include the former 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.
