The residence

A private pool in every suite

This is the signature. Every suite has its own pool, per Utusan, the format the Lexis group made its name with at its Port Dickson resorts. In a city-centre tower, a private plunge pool facing KL Tower, Merdeka 118 and the Twin Towers is rare at any price.

Dual-key layouts

The larger suites are dual-key: live in one part and let the other, or let both. It suits a buyer who wants a city base that also earns.

Sky facilities and hotel services

Marketing materials list a sky infinity pool, a sky deck on level 58, a sky ballroom on level 59, a lounge and seven food and beverage outlets, with the hotel rooms in the same tower.

The address

Marketing materials place Bukit Nanas monorail station about 115 metres away and Dang Wangi LRT about 350 metres away, with Suria KLCC and Pavilion Kuala Lumpur each about 800 metres away. These are straight-line distances; on foot, allow a little longer. The street is the western edge of the Golden Triangle, with the hotels and towers of Jalan Sultan Ismail on either side.

The numbers

At RM1.7 million to RM2.5 million, per Utusan, listed unit prices work out to roughly RM3,000 psf. Marketing materials describe a 6% annual guaranteed return for three years, followed by a profit-sharing arrangement.

How Royal Lexis compares with TRX

Royal Lexis sells an experience: a pool in your suite and a hotel downstairs. TRX sells a district: the city’s MRT interchange, The Exchange TRX mall, a 10-acre park and around 30,000 people working within walking distance. Completed TRX homes rent at asking yields of about 5% without any guarantee, as our TRX Residences review shows. Our KLCC new launches 2026 guide sets Royal Lexis beside its city-centre peers.

What to weigh

• The KLCC name. The tower stands on Jalan Sultan Ismail, on the western edge of the Golden Triangle, a short walk from the KLCC precinct itself.
• Price per square foot. At roughly RM3,000 psf, Royal Lexis sits with KLCC’s top tier and well above completed TRX homes at about RM2,265 psf.
• Guaranteed returns. Weigh the 6% guarantee against the purchase price and the rent the suite earns once it ends.

Our view

Royal Lexis is the city’s most original new format: resort privacy, a pool in every suite, stacked above a hotel. It is a lifestyle purchase first, priced at the top of the market. Buyers chasing long-term rental depth will find it in TRX.
