KLCC vs TRX Price Index: Asking Price of Every Condo We Track
Every quarter we freeze the asking price per square foot of each luxury condominium we track in KLCC, TRX and Bukit Bintang, and publish the whole file. No login, no lead form, no rounded-off marketing numbers. Use it, chart it, argue with it.
Snapshot 2026-Q3, taken 2026-07-09. 9 buildings. Median asking price across all of them: RM 2,200 psf.

The Index, By District: KLCC vs TRX vs Bukit Bintang
| District | Buildings | Median PSF | PSF Range | Entry Price | vs Prior Quarter |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KLCC | 5 | RM 2,300 | RM 1,500 to RM 3,000 | RM 1,000,000 | 0.0% |
| TRX | 2 | RM 2,050 | RM 1,900 to RM 2,200 | RM 960,000 | 0.0% |
| Bukit Bintang & Damansara Heights | 2 | RM 2,060 | RM 1,700 to RM 2,420 | RM 950,000 | 0.0% |
Entry price is the cheapest published unit in the district, which is rarely the cheapest building by psf. Median psf on two buildings is a midpoint, not a market.

What This Quarter Actually Says
TRX is 11% below KLCC, not half price
The median KLCC tower asks RM 2,300 psf. TRX asks RM 2,050. Buyers arrive expecting a new district to be discounted like a suburb, and it is not. What TRX offers is a cheaper ticket, not cheaper square footage: entry starts at RM 960,000 against RM 1,000,000 in KLCC, because the units themselves are smaller.
The whole argument, with the yield side attached, sits in the KLCC versus TRX investment comparison.
The freehold premium is 18%, and location beats it
Freehold stock carries a median premium of 18% per square foot over leasehold here. Real, but not decisive. Pavilion Square is leasehold and asks RM 2,420 psf, more than 4 of the 6 freehold buildings in this table.
Tenure is a discount on the wrong address and a rounding error on the right one. Buy the location, then negotiate the tenure.
2 of 9 entry units are closed to foreigners
Kuala Lumpur bars foreign buyers from residential property under RM 1,000,000. That quietly removes the cheapest ticket in this index: TRX Residences at RM 960,000 and Pavilion Damansara Heights at RM 950,000. A foreign buyer reading the entry-price column is reading a number they cannot transact.
Add the flat 8% foreign stamp duty on top with the stamp duty calculator, and see the residency route in the MM2H guide.
Every Quarter We Have Published
Cited an older quarter? It is still here, carrying the numbers it held on the first day of that period. Published quarters are never revised, so a figure you quoted stays checkable against this table long after the headline numbers above have moved on.
| Quarter | Period start | Source | Buildings | KLCC median | TRX median | Bukit Bintang & Damansara Heights median |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-Q3Current | 2026-07-01 | captured 2026-07-09 | 9 | RM 2,300 | RM 2,050 | RM 2,060 |
| 2026-Q2 | 2026-04-01 | rebuilt from our listing history | 9 | RM 2,300 | RM 2,050 | RM 2,060 |
The series begins at 2026-Q2, because this site first published listings in March 2026 and we will not invent prices for quarters we cannot evidence. Quarters marked as rebuilt were reconstructed from the listing data this site actually served on that period's first day, not estimated.
Methodology
Each quarter, the asking price and asking psf of every published listing on this site is written into a snapshot file and never edited again. Median psf is the middle value of the buildings in a district. Entry price is the lowest published starting price, which usually belongs to the smallest unit, not the cheapest building.
The freehold premium compares the median psf of freehold buildings against the median psf of leasehold buildings across all three districts, so it survives one district having no leasehold stock.
Snapshots are additive. Reprice a listing mid-quarter and the change appears in the next snapshot, not the one you already cited. That is the point of freezing them.
One quarter, 2026-Q2, was rebuilt after the fact from the listing data this site served on 1 April 2026. It is drawn from our own version history rather than estimated, and it is the earliest quarter we can evidence. Asking prices have not moved since, which is why the change column reads flat.
Limitations
- Asking, not transacted. Deals close below asking. NAPIC publishes the transacted record on a lag of several months; this index trades that authority for currency.
- Small sample. 9 buildings, chosen because we track and sell them. It is a census of prime stock, not a random sample of Kuala Lumpur.
- Mixed vintages. Off-plan towers completing in 2029 sit in the same column as buildings finished in 2019. The completion column is there so you can separate them.
- Districts follow our listing taxonomy. The Bukit Bintang & Damansara Heights column groups Pavilion Damansara Heights with the Bukit Bintang towers, because that is how this site files it. Damansara Heights sits roughly 5km west and has its own MRT station. Read the column as a bucket of prime central KL, not a municipal boundary.
- Short history. The series starts at 2026-Q2. Quarter-on-quarter change appears once a second snapshot exists, and means little until there are four.

Price Index FAQs
Where does this price index data come from?
From the asking prices of the 9 luxury condominiums listed on this site, frozen once a quarter. These are asking prices, not transacted prices. Malaysia publishes transacted data through NAPIC on a lag; this index trades that lag for currency, and reports what sellers want today.
What is the median asking price per square foot for a KLCC condo?
RM 2,300 psf across the 5 KLCC towers tracked here, spanning RM 1,500 psf to RM 3,000 psf. TRX sits at RM 2,050 psf across 2 buildings. The gap is smaller than most buyers expect.
What is the asking price of TRX Residences per square foot?
RM 2,200 psf as of 2026-Q3, with units from RM 960,000 across 474 to 1,636 sq ft. It is freehold and completed in 2024. That is the asking price, frozen this quarter and never revised; what a unit transacts at is a negotiation.
Is TRX cheaper than KLCC?
At the median, TRX asks about 11% less per square foot. The bigger difference is the entry ticket: TRX Residences opens at RM 960,000 against RM 1,000,000 for the cheapest KLCC unit we track. Both figures matter, and only one of them is available to a foreign buyer.
Can I use these numbers on my own site?
Yes. The data is published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. Republish the table, cite TRX KLCC Property, and link back to this page. Every quarterly snapshot stays published, so a chart of the series is yours to build.
How often is the index updated?
Once a quarter. Each snapshot is frozen when it is taken and never rewritten, so a figure you cite in 2026-Q3 still resolves to the same number a year later. Repricing between quarters shows up in the next snapshot, not retroactively.
Does a higher price per square foot mean a better investment?
No, and the index is built to show why. Royal Lexis KLCC asks RM 3,000 psf for stock completing in 2029, while Aria Residences asks RM 1,500 psf for a building finished in 2019. One is a bet on a district years out; the other is a keys-in-hand asset. Price per square foot ranks nothing on its own.
Asking Price Is Where a Negotiation Starts
Ryan sees what these units actually close at. That number is not in any public dataset, including this one.
