Former Shuqun Secondary School site in Jurong East may yield up to 1,800 homes
According to Christine Sun, primary analyst and strategist at Realion (OrangeTee & Tie), the site might potentially generate around 1,150 to 1,250 HDB flats, or around 1,750 to 1,800 exclusive condo units.
A few of the closest household launches in the Jurong or west area feature the 440-unit Sora on Yuan Ching Roadway, the 347-unit The Sen and the upcoming 863-unit Tengah Garden Residences, mentions 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.
Many other school locations that have been transferred or closed– and ultimately set aside for non commercial property development– consist of the previous Temasek Primary and Secondary Schools locations at the junction of Upper Changi Road and Bedok South Road; Bedok Town Senior High School in Bedok North; Qiaonan Primary School at Tampines Street 11; Angsana Primary School (Tampines Street 22); and Siglap Senior High School in Pasir Ris.
URA has actually recommended enhancing the development level of a past academic institution location in Jurong East, in a step that could produce considerably extra houses.
“Private housing need in the west are going to still increase as more apartments in Tengah will certainly be obtaining MOP in the next four to five years, and many HDB owners will certainly be ready to improve to an exclusive home,” she includes.
The former Shuqun High school shut in 2019 following its merger with Yuhua High school. The site at 450 Jurong East Street 21 lies within 400m of the upcoming Toh Guan MRT Stop on the Jurong Region Line, and is close to amenities such as Yuhua Village Market and Yuhua Elementary School.
On April 10, URA released a proposed amendment 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 revision is planned to uphold future non commercial project and meet housing need.
The site is close (around 600m) to the Jurong East MRT Interchange Terminal (East-West and North-South Lines), shopping center, and the Jurong regional center, that is highly hassle-free for future locals, Sun observes. It is also efficient for homeowners doing work in Tuas or Jurong business offices or industrial areas. She anticipates “demand to be robust” should HDB flats or private housing be constructed on the plot.
