Property Location + Transportation & Building Information
TRX Residences is a condominium that cannot be explained without first introducing Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), a large-scale financial special district currently under development. This is because the condominium is located within the TRX precinct itself, and it has been drawing tremendous attention, shaking the Malaysian real estate market.
It is approximately 3–5 minutes by car from Malaysia’s iconic Petronas Twin Towers (KLCC) and the bustling Bukit Bintang shopping and entertainment district.
So, what is a financial center?
A financial center is an area where financial industries such as banking, insurance, and securities are highly concentrated, serving as the economic and financial hub of a country or region.
Major global financial centers include New York, London, Tokyo, Shanghai, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Notably, Tokyo ranked 3rd globally (1st in Asia) in the Global Financial Centres Index.
Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) is Malaysia’s first-ever financial special zone. One of its defining characteristics is its focus on Islamic finance. Islamic finance has grown rapidly since the mid-1990s, expanding at an annual rate of approximately 15%, driven by population growth in Muslim countries and economic expansion in Islamic nations.
Japanese companies such as MUFG Bank and Mizuho Bank have also entered this Islamic finance market in recent years, attracting global attention. TRX is expected to become a one-of-a-kind financial district worldwide.
The TRX project covers approximately 70 acres (about six times the size of Tokyo Dome). Development includes offices, residences, a shopping mall (TRX Mall), hotels, and parks.
- 50% office towers
- 30% residential
- 10% commercial
- 10% hotel TRX Residences falls within the residential portion. With an estimated 40,000 jobs to be created in TRX, residential demand is expected to be very strong, making this property highly attractive to both local and international investors.
A landmark building is The Exchange 106 (TRX106), a 106-story tower standing 492 meters tall, surpassing the Petronas Twin Towers (452m). Headquarters of Prudential and HSBC were completed in December 2020 and are already in operation.
The Lifestyle Quarter shopping mall will host tenants such as Seibu Department Store (Japan), Dairy Farm Group supermarkets (Hong Kong), cinemas, and luxury brands including Apple, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Gucci.
The mall spans 200,000 sqm, larger than Pavilion Mall (170,000 sqm), with a park equivalent to 10 soccer fields built on top.
Another unique feature of TRX is its pedestrian-friendly design—cars primarily run underground, resulting in less noise and air pollution.
Across Jalan Tun Razak lies TREC, an entertainment district comparable to Roppongi, filled with clubs, modern restaurants, and bars.
Within TRX is the TRX MRT Station, one of the most important stations in Greater Kuala Lumpur. It is the only station in the city where MRT Line 1 and Line 2 intersect, and it is just steps away from TRX Residences.
In the future, a 450-meter covered pedestrian walkway will connect TRX to Pavilion Shopping Mall, allowing easy access to Bukit Bintang and further expanding Kuala Lumpur’s largest shopping paradise.
TRX Residences is scheduled for completion in 2024.
With the emergence of TRX, Kuala Lumpur’s new Golden Triangle now consists of KLCC, KL Tower, and the TRX Financial District.
A condominium located inside TRX is truly a diamond property in central Kuala Lumpur, offering an unbeatable location.
