The Verdict
Which is the better buy?
For most buyers, TRX Residences is the better buy. You get the same freehold title at a lower rate, about RM 2,200 per square foot 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 handed over in early 2024 and is already tenanted, a settled building with a rental history rather than a precinct still filling in around it. The two owner units we track are finished stock: a fully furnished 645 sq ft one-bedroom in Tower 3 at RM 1,500,000 and a designer-renovated 1,022 sq ft three-bedroom in Tower 1 at RM 2,400,000. That is RM 2,326 to RM 2,349 per square foot, in line with the building's resale band, and what the finish buys is zero work: either unit takes a tenant or an owner on day one.
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 integrated address, the lower entry, and the shorter walk. Pick Core Residence if a proven, already-let building and units that need nothing done matter more to you.
Common Questions
TRX Residences vs Core Residence FAQs
Is TRX Residences or Core Residence @ TRX the better buy?
For most buyers, TRX Residences. Both towers are freehold and both completed around 2024, but TRX Residences opens lower, from RM 960,000 at about RM 2,200 per square foot, sits one minute from TRX station instead of three, and is built by Lendlease, a global developer. Core Residence @ TRX suits a buyer who wants a settled, move-in-ready building: the owner units we track there are a furnished one-bedroom and a renovated three-bedroom, finished stock priced at RM 2,326 to RM 2,349 per square foot, inside the building's resale band.
What is the difference between TRX Residences and Core Residence @ TRX?
Both are freehold towers inside Tun Razak Exchange. TRX Residences completed in 2024, starts at RM 960,000 at about RM 2,200 per square foot, is a one minute walk to the MRT, and offers units from 474 up to 1,636 square feet. Core Residence completed in 2024 and is a three minute walk to the MRT; the owner units we track there run 645 to 1,022 square feet from RM 1,500,000, at RM 2,326 to RM 2,349 per square foot for renovated or furnished stock.
Are TRX Residences and Core Residence @ TRX freehold?
Yes. Both hold freehold title, which is the harder thing to find inside TRX and the main reason each resells more surely than the leasehold stock in the precinct. Freehold also matters for foreign and MM2H buyers planning the mandatory 10 year hold.
Which is cheaper, TRX Residences or Core Residence @ TRX?
TRX Residences, on both measures. It opens at RM 960,000 against RM 1,500,000 for Core Residence, and its asking rate of about RM 2,200 per square foot sits just below the RM 2,326 to RM 2,349 the Core Residence units ask. Most of that small gap is finish: the Core units are sold renovated or fully furnished, while TRX Residences pricing is standard developer stock.
