Former Shuqun Secondary School site in Jurong East may yield up to 1,800 homes
According to Christine Sun, chief researcher and strategist at Realion (OrangeTee & Tie), the location can possibly yield about 1,150 to 1,250 HDB flats, or around 1,750 to 1,800 exclusive condominium units.
Several of the closest household kick off in the Jurong or west area include 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 sold.
Other institution locations that have actually been relocated or shut– and ultimately set aside for non commercial property development– consist of the former Temasek Primary and Secondary Schools sites at the junction of Upper Changi Road and Bedok South Road; Bedok Town Secondary School in Bedok North; Qiaonan Elementary School at Tampines Street 11; Angsana Primary School (Tampines Street 22); and Siglap High School in Pasir Ris.
“Private housing demand in the west are going to still boost as more apartments in Tengah will certainly be obtaining MOP in the following four to 5 years, and numerous HDB owners will be prepared to upgrade to a private home,” she adds.
On April 10, URA released a suggested modification to the Master Plan 2025, that includes raising the plot proportion of the 3ha site at 450 Jurong East Street 21 from 3.5 to 5.0. The alteration is intended to support future residential project and meet real estate need.
The site is close-by (about 600m) to the Jurong East MRT Interchange Station (East-West and North-South Lines), shopping malls, and the Jurong regional centre, which is extremely hassle-free for future locals, Sun observes. It is also convenient for residents working in Tuas or Jurong offices or industrial areas. She anticipates “need to be robust” should HDB flats or private real estate be constructed on the plot.
The previous Shuqun Senior high school shut in 2019 following its merger with Yuhua High school. The place 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 Grade School.
URA has suggested boosting the growth intensity of a previous academic institution spot in Jurong East, in a move that can produce considerably more residences.
