The residence: Foster + Partners in KLCC
Architecture you can recognise from the street
The Troika is one of very few Kuala Lumpur residences by the practice of Pritzker laureate Norman Foster. Its three towers rise around a landscaped courtyard of about 30,000 sq ft.
StarProperty lists international design awards in 2008, including two CNBC Asia Pacific Property Awards. The project came from BRDB under Datuk Jagan Sabapathy, the former BRDB chief behind One Menerung in Bangsar. In EdgeProp’s 2022 Done Deal, the agent said the buyer chose the building for its architecture and its privacy-focused design.
Large homes, few neighbours
Two residences per floor means quiet lifts and corridors. Standard homes start at about 2,000 sq ft.
The penthouses are among the largest in the city. StarProperty records them from 5,443 sq ft to 21,688 sq ft, and one sold at launch for RM57 million. For a buyer who wants a large luxury unit in KLCC, The Troika offers floor area that new towers rarely provide.
Specification and facilities
Specifications included imported marble floors, Low-E glass and central vacuum. StarProperty lists the courtyard, swimming and wading pools, a timber deck, gymnasium and aerobics room, games room, function hall, jacuzzi, sauna and barbecue area, with laundry and housekeeping services.
The address: the best-connected corner of KLCC
StarProperty places Ampang Park LRT station about 250 metres away, a two-minute walk, and Suria KLCC about 400 metres away. Persiaran KLCC MRT station on the Putrajaya Line is also nearby.
The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Aquaria and KLCC Park are within walking distance. Road access is via Jalan Tun Razak, the SMART Tunnel and AKLEH. Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur on Jalan Ampang and Prince Court Medical Centre on Jalan Kia Peng are both a short drive.
The numbers: what The Troika costs today
Transacted prices, from 42 NAPIC-based resale records compiled by List.my (2021 to 2026):
- Median: RM2.665 million and RM1,027 psf; middle half RM951 - 1,102 psf.
- EdgeProp’s 48-month median: RM984 psf, within RM868 - 1,068 psf.
- 2025: 11 resales. Examples: a 2,551 sq ft unit on Level 33 at RM2.8 million (RM1,098 psf) in February; another 2,551 sq ft unit at RM2.85 million (RM1,117 psf) in November; a 2,691 sq ft unit at RM2.63 million (RM977 psf) in November.
- Penthouses: a 14,562 sq ft penthouse at RM17.3 million (RM1,188 psf) and a 5,858 sq ft penthouse at RM6.0 million (RM1,024 psf), both in 2022.
Asking prices, from listings in 2026:
| Layout | Size | Asking price | Asking psf | Listed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SoHo | 1,347 - 1,350 sq ft | average RM2.13M | average RM1,578 | EdgeProp, mid-July 2026 |
| 3 bedrooms | 2,245 sq ft | RM2.53M | RM1,126 | 19 October 2026 |
| 3 bedrooms | 2,356 sq ft | RM3.5M | about RM1,486 | 2026 |
| 3 bedrooms | 2,605 sq ft | RM2.4M | RM921 | 6 October 2026 |
Three readings of the market:
- Asking and transacted prices sit far apart. SoHo owners ask around RM1,578 psf; the latest SoHo resale, in November 2025, was RM866 psf. Build a firm negotiation into the plan from the start.
- Large-unit pricing is steady. Three-bedroom homes of 2,300 - 2,700 sq ft have changed hands at about RM850 - 1,120 psf for five years. List.my shows a 12-month psf change of minus 1.0%.
- 2022 low-floor deals weigh on the averages. Several large low-floor units recorded in June and July 2022 at identical psf figures (RM921 and RM1,080) pull the medians down.
Rents and yield
| Layout | Size | Rent per month | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| SoHo, fully furnished | 1,349 sq ft | RM8,000 | Achieved lease, EdgeProp Done Deal, March 2026 |
| SoHo and small units | 989 - 1,500 sq ft | average RM5,333 | EdgeProp average asking rent, mid-July 2026 |
| 3 bedrooms | 2,545 sq ft | RM14,000 | Asking, PropertyGuru, October 2025 |
| 3+1 bedrooms, fully designed | 2,500 sq ft | RM25,000 | Asking, EdgeProp, 1 October 2026 |
Gross yield working:
- Three-bedroom: RM14,000 x 12 = RM168,000 a year. A 2,545 sq ft home at the transacted median of RM1,027 psf is worth about RM2.61 million, a gross yield of about 6.4% (asking rent vs transacted median). Against the average 2026 three-bedroom asking price of about RM1,178 psf, it is about 5.6%.
- SoHo: the achieved lease of RM8,000 a month, RM96,000 a year, against the average asking price of RM2.13 million is about 4.5% gross.

How The Troika compares with TRX and Asia
The Troika’s numbers tell a clear story: the market pays about RM1,000 psf for an award-winning, freehold KLCC tower from 2009. By contrast, TRX Residences has a median transacted price of about RM2,265 psf, more than double, and still achieves asking-rent yields of around 5%.
Buyers are paying for what TRX adds: the city’s only MRT Line 1 and Line 2 interchange inside the district, a 10-acre rooftop park, around 30,000 office workers on site and a newer specification. The Troika is a space-per-ringgit purchase; TRX is where demand is moving. Read why TRX is Kuala Lumpur’s new prime address, and for the towers now selling around it, our KLCC new launches guide.
On our KL vs Asia radius maps, RM5 million buys about 3,043 sq ft near KLCC, against 372 sq ft in Hong Kong, 665 in Singapore and 699 in Tokyo. At The Troika’s transacted median, the same sum buys closer to 4,900 sq ft. Our guide to luxury housing in Kuala Lumpur sets every prime area side by side.
What to weigh
- Age. The Troika is 17 years old in 2026. Lifts, glazing and services will need capital spending over the next decade.
- Commercial title. StarProperty notes the land is gazetted commercial, so utility tariffs are higher than for residential title.
- Views can change. A future building on an adjacent lot would affect Tower 1, and Zen Suites blocks some Tower 3 units.
- Price momentum. Transacted psf has been broadly flat since 2021. This is a building to buy for space and design, not for short-term capital growth.
- Traffic. StarProperty notes heavy traffic around Persiaran KLCC at peak hours, weekends and public holidays.
