It is the rare Kuala Lumpur address that rents well, sells easily and has grown in value, all at once.

Key facts: CORE Residence @ TRX ranks second at about 5.7% gross from about RM1.2 million, holding its RM2,200 psf launch level; in KLCC, Four Seasons Place (about 5.3%) and The Ritz-Carlton Residences (about 5.1%) are the strongest investment-grade towers, and TRX outperforms both on growth and liquidity.

How we ranked investment property in Kuala Lumpur

An investment residence has four duties: to rent well, to be accessible to enter, to sell easily and to hold or grow its value. We scored each building on all four:

1. Yield. Gross, the higher of asking rent ÷ asking price and asking rent ÷ transacted median, as worked in each building profile.
2. Entry price. The lowest realistic ticket, which sets how wide the buyer pool is on resale.
3. Liquidity. Recorded transactions and live rental listings: proof that tenants and buyers are present.
4. Capital growth evidence. Recorded prices against the launch price.

We also drew on the trxestate Prime KL Residences Index, Q4 2026, which scores transit, lifestyle, yield, value and delivery out of 100.

The ranking explained

1. TRX Residences, TRX. The only building in Kuala Lumpur at the top on all four tests. Brickz records 560 deals at a median of RM2,265 psf, the latest 50 at RM2,348 psf; Oregeon data shows average subsale psf up 2.9% year on year; and the 850 sq ft two-bedroom asks RM8,000 - 8,800 a month, about 5.6% gross. It leads the trxestate Prime KL Residences Index with 89 points. Read the 560-transaction analysis.

2. CORE Residence @ TRX, TRX. The income buy inside the financial district. A 1,022 sq ft three-bedroom asks about RM10,000 a month against about RM2.1 million, a gross yield of about 5.7%, and the 688 sq ft unit yields about 5.3% from RM1.18 million. Prices sit at the 2019 launch level, so today’s buyer enters at the price that sold out before the district opened.

3. Four Seasons Place, KLCC. The capital-preservation choice. The best units have held the RM3,000 psf achieved at launch in 2014, the median asking rent of about RM13 psf a month is the highest in KL, and the buyer pool for trophy homes is the deepest in KLCC. Entry is about RM5 million.

4. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, KL City Centre. Branded, hotel-serviced suites trading at a RM2,360 psf median, below the RM2,500 psf launch, with asking rents of about RM10 psf a month. Today’s buyer captures the yield the launch buyers paid for.

5. Golden Crown TRX Residences, TRX. The lowest entry to the TRX catchment: about RM1,900 - 2,050 psf, some RM540 psf below the TRX Residences median asking price, with completion in 2026 - 2027. Leasehold to 2111, it suits a buyer focused on rental income at the TRX interchange.

6. The Conlay, KLCC. E&O and Mitsui Fudosan’s 491-unit Kerry Hill tower beside Conlay MRT, completed in 2025, with asking yields of about 4.9 - 6.0% and 70% of Signature Suite buyers from overseas.

7. Pavilion Embassy, Embassy Row. The Pavilion name at about RM1,290 psf and a gross yield of about 5.9%, in a gated 5.75-acre freehold enclave.

8. The Troika, KLCC. Foster + Partners towers with homes from 2,000 sq ft at a RM1,027 psf transacted median. The highest yield on this list, about 6.4%, on large family homes.

9. Aria Luxury Residence, KLCC. Hap Seng’s 598 freehold homes near Conlay MRT, at a RM1,488 psf transacted median and about 6.2% gross. A pure yield play: prices are flat on the 2015 launch.

10. Dua Residency, KLCC. E&O’s 288 freehold homes from 2,098 sq ft with private lift lobbies, at a RM789 psf median, about 50% above the launch price, and about 5.5% gross.

Why TRX is the strongest investment location in Kuala Lumpur

Yield alone can be found in older towers. What sets TRX apart is that it delivers yield, growth and liquidity together:

• Demand on site. About 30,000 people work in the 70-acre district and more than 85% of its office space is committed, per TRX City in September 2026. TRX City expects about 40,000 knowledge workers at full build-out.
• Transit no other district has. The city’s only MRT Line 1 and Line 2 interchange, connecting 64 stations across the Klang Valley.
• The life in the precinct. The Exchange TRX mall, the 10-acre rooftop park and Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur, with Pavilion Kuala Lumpur about 400 metres away.
• A price premium that is holding. CBRE | WTW put the 2025 average for upmarket high-rise homes across six prime KL areas at RM976 psf. TRX Residences trades at more than twice that, and new towers inside TRX average above RM2,200 psf, per EdgeProp.
• Growth while the market was flat. TRX Residences’ entry units gained 13 - 23% between 2020 and 2026, when many KLCC towers, including The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Banyan Tree Signatures and The Mews, traded below their launch prices.
• Long-term catalysts. Monash University Malaysia’s RM2.8 billion campus with TRX City is due to open in 2032.

How it compares across Asia

The new launch to watch in TRX

A new 315-unit freehold private residence launches inside TRX in Q4 2026, on a 1.08-acre plot next to CORE Residence @ TRX. The Edge Malaysia reported sizes of 688 - 3,600 sq ft, indicative prices from RM1.7 million and private lift lobbies for selected larger units. Consultants valued TRX land at about RM3,500 - 4,500 psf, against RM2,000 - 3,000 psf outside the district.

For investors, it offers what the completed towers do not: a low-density building with large family layouts, inside the district whose completed homes already rent at about 5 - 5.7%. Benchmark any launch price against the TRX Residences median of RM2,265 psf and the RM8,000 - 10,000 monthly rents for two- and three-bedrooms.

Our view

TRX Residences is the best investment property in Kuala Lumpur today, and the margin is clear. No other building combines a 560-deal record, about 5.6% gross and entry units resold above launch.

KLCC remains the address for preserving capital, with Four Seasons Place its benchmark. For income with growth, the evidence points to TRX: the district’s completed homes rent at about 5 - 5.7%, and its new launches should be judged against those numbers.
