TRX Residences trades at a median of RM2,265 psf across 560 recorded deals, and asking rents on its most-traded layouts imply gross yields of about 4.7-5.6%. It is the clearest case yet that Tun Razak Exchange has become Kuala Lumpur’s best place to own a home: few completed towers in the city combine that price level, that depth of trading and that rental demand.
Key facts: 896 freehold residences across two towers, handed over from the first quarter of 2024; its 474 sq ft units have resold 13-23% above the September 2020 launch price; and PropertyGuru carried 412 rental listings in the building on 21 October 2026.
TRX Residences in brief
| Developer | Lendlease with TRX City Sdn Bhd, the Ministry of Finance-owned master developer of TRX |
| Builder | IJM |
| Residences | 896 across two towers, per CBRE | WTW: Tower A, 53 storeys, 443 units; Tower B, 57 storeys, 453 units |
| Sizes | 474 sq ft to 1,636 sq ft for standard units; larger sky residences above |
| Tenure | Freehold |
| Completion | Handed over from the first quarter of 2024 |
| Certification | LEED Gold and GBI Gold |
| Resident facilities | About 90,000 sq ft over three levels |
| Licensed developer | LQ Residential 1 Sdn Bhd, a joint venture of TRX City and Lendlease |
| Layouts | 1 bedroom 474 - 721 sq ft; 2 bedrooms 850 - 1,076 sq ft; 3 bedrooms 1,184 - 1,636 sq ft; villas 2,239 + 452 to 3,197 sq ft |
| Launch price, September 2020 | From RM970,000 (New Straits Times) |
| Price list after the 2021-2022 increase | RM1,067,000 to RM6,351,000 |
| Car park | 1,020 bays |
| Specification | Fully fitted Italian kitchen; double-glazed low-E curtain wall |
The particulars above come from the developer’s sales brochure for TRX Residences, issued under advertising and sales permit 19603-1/02-2022/01285, which lists the property as serviced apartments in Tower A and Tower B.
TRX Residences stands within a 17-acre freehold precinct that Lendlease describes as its largest urban regeneration project in Asia. The precinct also holds The Exchange TRX mall, the 10-acre TRX City Park on the mall roof, and Malaysia’s first Kimpton hotel. A link bridge on level 8 connects the residential towers to the mall and hotel, so residents can reach shops, restaurants and the park without crossing a road.
Shops, restaurants, a hotel and a park therefore share the same plot as the residences. That is the daily texture of the address, and it is rare in a city where most prime towers stand alone.
Why TRX Residences is one of the best properties in KL
1. A location no older district can replicate
TRX is a 70-acre financial district planned from scratch, with most traffic underground and a park on the roof. It holds The Exchange 106, Kuala Lumpur’s second-tallest tower, and the city’s only interchange between MRT Line 1 and Line 2.
The interchange is about 70 metres from TRX Residences, per PropertyGuru. Bukit Bintang and Pavilion Kuala Lumpur are about 400 metres away, according to CBRE | WTW, and KLCC is a short drive or two MRT stops north. For the full district story, read why TRX is Kuala Lumpur’s new prime address.
2. A built-in tenant pool
Rental demand follows jobs. In September 2026, TRX City reported that more than 85% of the district’s office supply was committed and about 30,000 people already work there, against a long-term projection of 45,000.
The multinational banks, insurers and professional firms in TRX towers supply exactly the tenants who rent furnished, well-managed homes within walking distance. No other residential address in KL has a financial district of this size on its doorstep.
3. Resort-level facilities across 90,000 sq ft
Robb Report Malaysia lists the residents’ facilities across levels 8, 29 and 30:
- Level 8: an infinity pool overlooking the city skyline and The Exchange TRX, a gym, a BBQ area, a herb garden and a private living room for gatherings.
- Levels 29 and 30: a high-intensity gym with boxing equipment, a lap pool, a yoga deck and an outdoor fitness zone.
- Elsewhere: two private pool zones, an orchid conservatory, a social bar, a private dining room with a full kitchen and a children’s playroom.
A Smart Community App handles visitor management, facility booking, and lighting and air-conditioning control, with no physical access card. LEED Gold and GBI Gold certification means lower utility bills, a detail tenants notice and owners can advertise.
4. Backed by government and a global developer
TRX City is wholly owned by the Ministry of Finance, and Lendlease is one of the world’s largest listed property groups. Buyers did not have to take a small developer’s word on delivery.
Tower A sold out in pre-sales, Tower B sold 90% of released units by topping-out in October 2023, and handover began on schedule in early 2024. TRX City secured the strata title more than two months before the certificate of completion, according to Robb Report. That is unusual in Malaysia, and it let owners register their titles quickly.
The numbers: transacted prices
Brickz records 560 transactions at TRX Residences, which we read in detail in TRX Residences: what 560 transactions tell us. The headline figures:
| Measure | 25th percentile | Median | 75th percentile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price psf, all 560 deals | RM2,100 | RM2,265 | RM2,402 |
| Price, all 560 deals | RM1.54M | RM1.83M | RM2.13M |
| Price psf, latest 50 deals (June 2025 to July 2026) | RM2,348 |
Price bands by layout, from the latest 50 deals:
| Size | Typical price | Median psf |
|---|---|---|
| 474 sq ft | RM1.10M - 1.19M | RM2,409 |
| 624 sq ft | RM1.39M - 1.58M | RM2,443 |
| 850 sq ft | RM1.50M - 2.25M | RM2,214 |
| 1,184 - 1,259 sq ft | RM2.60M - 3.25M | about RM2,250 |
| 1,636 sq ft, high floor | RM4.60M - 5.65M | RM3,133 |
EdgeProp’s own transaction data gives a similar median of RM2,291 psf and a building high of RM2,812 psf, set in August 2025. CBRE | WTW put the 2025 average for upmarket high-rise homes across six prime KL areas at RM976 psf. TRX Residences trades at well over twice that.
Value gained since launch
When Tower B launched in September 2020, prices started from RM970,000 for units from 474 sq ft, per the New Straits Times. The two 474 sq ft units recorded between June 2025 and July 2026 sold for RM1.10M and RM1.19M, between 13% and 23% above that launch entry. The developer then raised prices in 2021-2022, lifting the entry to RM1,067,000 per its sales brochure.
Those gains came while the wider Klang Valley high-end market was flat to soft, and while CBRE | WTW reported rising overhang among units priced above RM1 million. TRX Residences moved the other way.
Independent subsale data points in the same direction. Oregeon Property Consultancy data, cited by EdgeProp, shows the average subsale price rose 2.9% year on year, from RM2,260 to RM2,326 psf.
TRX Estate’s own record of transacted deals from 2023 to 2025 averages RM2,307 psf, and PropertyGuru data shows prices rising 4.81% over the same period, from RM2,202.56 to RM2,308.49 psf.
Rental rates
On 21 October 2026, PropertyGuru carried 412 rental listings at TRX Residences, a measure of how actively the building is let. From the first 60 listings:
| Layout | Asking rent per month | Typical | Asking rent psf |
|---|---|---|---|
| 474 - 538 sq ft, 1 bedroom | RM4,000 - 6,500 | RM4,500 | RM8.4 - 13.7 |
| 624 sq ft, 1 bedroom | RM6,000 - 6,300 | RM6,000 | RM9.6 - 10.1 |
| 700 - 721 sq ft, 1 bedroom | RM5,900 - 8,000 | RM6,500 | RM8.3 - 11.1 |
| 850 sq ft, 2 bedrooms | RM6,000 - 12,000 | RM8,800 | RM7.1 - 14.1 |
| 1,184 - 1,259 sq ft, 3 bedrooms | RM12,000 - 15,000 | RM12,500 | RM10.1 - 12.7 |
| 1,625 sq ft, 3 bedrooms | RM18,000 | RM11.1 |
The 850 sq ft two-bedroom is the standout. More than half of its listings ask RM8,000 - 8,800 a month, roughly RM10 psf, which is higher per square foot than most of KLCC’s established towers. The level holds across dozens of agents, which makes it a dependable figure rather than a single optimistic listing.
After maintenance and a 10.5-month letting year, net yields run from about 3.0% to 4.3%, with the three-bedroom strongest; see TRX Residences rental yield by bedroom.
TRX Residences rental yield
The working uses asking rents against the latest transacted medians. Transacted prices sit below asking prices here (the building’s median asking price on PropertyGuru was RM2,500 psf on 22 October 2026), so the transacted basis gives the higher, and published, yield:
| Layout | Median transacted price | Typical asking rent | Gross yield (asking rent ÷ transacted median) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 474 sq ft | RM1.14M | RM4,500 | about 4.7% |
| 624 sq ft | RM1.52M | RM6,000 | about 4.7% |
| 700 sq ft | RM1.59M | RM6,500 | about 4.9% |
| 850 sq ft | RM1.88M | RM8,800 | about 5.6% |
| 1,184 sq ft | RM2.66M | RM12,500 | about 5.6% |
EdgeProp’s implied rental yield for the building is 5.07%. These are gross figures, before maintenance fees, furnishing, vacancy and tax.
How it compares
A 2,228 sq ft three-bedroom at The Binjai on the Park, one of KLCC’s trophy towers, asks around RM15,500 a month against a value of about RM4.5 million, a gross yield of about 4.1%. Our Binjai on the Park profile shows the working.
TRX Residences out-yields that established KLCC tower by more than a percentage point, in a newer building, with an MRT interchange at the door. For the wider city picture, see our luxury housing in Kuala Lumpur 2026 overview.
Against other Asian capitals the frame is wider still. Our KL vs Asia radius maps show that RM5 million buys about 3,043 sq ft near KLCC, against 372 sq ft in Hong Kong, 665 in Singapore and 699 in Tokyo.
What to weigh
Three points shape how to buy here:
- Resale depth is building. A large share of the 560 Brickz records are first transfers from the developer; owner-to-owner resales are fewer and growing.
- Supply is coming. CBRE | WTW puts planned residential stock in TRX at about 3,800 units, including further towers on the TRX Residences plot. Single master-developer control helps keep this orderly.
- 2026 is a small sample. The 11 deals recorded in 2026 to July had a lower median than 2025; the sample includes two distressed-priced sales and the building’s highest-ever psf.
Our view
TRX Residences has done what new districts rarely manage in their first years. It has held launch-era pricing, delivered capital gains on its entry units, and rented at yields that older prime towers cannot match.
It is the clearest evidence that TRX is now Kuala Lumpur’s best location to own: a financial-district tenant base, the city’s best transit, a park on the roof and freehold title.
For buyers, the 624 sq ft and 850 sq ft layouts remain the most liquid. Family-sized units above 1,184 sq ft offer the strongest yields on asking rents. New launches in TRX are best judged against these transacted numbers, adjusted for the time to completion; see our guide to new launches in TRX for 2026 and our coverage of CORE Residence @ TRX and new launches in TRX.
