The former Shuqun Senior high school closed in 2019 complying with its merger with Yuhua Secondary School. The site at 450 Jurong East Street 21 lies inside 400m of the upcoming Toh Guan MRT Stop on the Jurong Region Line, and is near to amenities like Yuhua Village Market and Yuhua Primary School.
The site is near (around 600m) to the Jurong East MRT Interchange Terminal (East-West and North-South Lines), shopping center, and the Jurong regional centre, which is highly practical for future homeowners, Sun observes. It is likewise beneficial for people working in Tuas or Jurong offices or industrial areas. She anticipates “demand to be strong” should HDB condos or private housing be developed on the plot.
Several of the nearest 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 actually been offered.
URA has suggested increasing the growth intensity of a past school site in Jurong East, in a decision that can yield considerably extra houses.
According to Christine Sun, primary analyst and planner at Realion (OrangeTee & Tie), the site might possibly yield about 1,150 to 1,250 HDB flats, or around 1,750 to 1,800 private apartment units.
Many other institution sites that have been relocated or closed– and ultimately set aside 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 Primary School at Tampines Street 11; Angsana Primary School (Tampines Street 22); and Siglap Senior High School in Pasir Ris.
“Private real estate need in the west are going to still boost as more apartments in Tengah will be acquiring MOP in the next four to five years, and several HDB owners will be ready to improve to an exclusive home,” she includes.
