Former Shuqun Secondary School site in Jurong East may yield up to 1,800 homes
On April 10, URA released a recommended amendment to the Master Plan 2025, which includes elevating the plot ratio of the 3ha site at 450 Jurong East Street 21 from 3.5 to 5.0. The modification is intended to sustain future residence development and meet housing demand.
URA has actually suggested increasing the development intensity of a previous academic institution site in Jurong East, in a move that might produce considerably a lot more residences.
“Private housing interest in the west will continue to boost as more apartments in Tengah will be getting MOP in the following 4 to five years, and lots of HDB owners will certainly be ready to upgrade to a private home,” she includes.
The site is close (around 600m) to the Jurong East MRT Interchange Station (East-West and North-South Lines), shopping center, and the Jurong regional hub, that is very practical for future homeowners, Sun observes. It is likewise convenient for homeowners working in Tuas or Jurong workplaces or industrial areas. She expects “demand to be robust” should HDB flats or private property be constructed on the plot.
Many other institution spots that have been relocated or shut– and consequently earmarked for residential development– include the previous Temasek Primary and Secondary Schools sites at the junction of Upper Changi Road and Bedok South Road; Bedok Town High School in Bedok North; Qiaonan Elementary School at Tampines Street 11; Angsana Primary School (Tampines Street 22); and Siglap High School in Pasir Ris.
The former Shuqun Senior high school closed up in 2019 complying with its merger with Yuhua High school. The site at 450 Jurong East Street 21 is located within 400m of the upcoming Toh Guan MRT Station on the Jurong Region Line, and is near to amenities such as Yuhua Village Market and Yuhua Elementary School.
According to Christine Sun, primary researcher and planner at Realion (OrangeTee & Tie), the site might potentially generate approximately 1,150 to 1,250 HDB flats, or around 1,750 to 1,800 private condominium units.
A few of the nearest non commercial release 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, notes Sun.
