The Verdict
Which is the better buy?
For most buyers, TRX Residences is the better buy. You get the same freehold title and the same RM 2,200 per square foot, but the tower is newer, finished in 2024 against Core Residence's 2020. It opens lower, from RM 960,000, and it is a one minute walk to TRX station rather than three. The developer is Lendlease, with a global record behind Barangaroo in Sydney and Paya Lebar Quarter in Singapore, which carries weight on resale.
Core Residence @ TRX still has a case. It completed in 2020, so it is a settled building with a rental history rather than a precinct still filling in around it. The unit mix is tighter, 624 to 1,022 square feet, which suits a buyer who wants a move-in-ready three bedroom without the larger, pricier layouts. The trade is the entry price: you start at RM 1,380,000 for older stock that sits a little further from the MRT.
Both draw tenants from the same pool, the banks and firms moving into Exchange 106 and the surrounding TRX towers, so the rental demand is shared. Pick TRX Residences for the newer build, the lower entry, and the shorter walk. Pick Core Residence if a proven, already-let building matters more to you than the latest stock.
