TRX Residences

TRX Residences: the freehold address inside TRX

TRX Residences is the residential core of Tun Razak Exchange, Kuala Lumpur's new international financial district. Lendlease, the global developer behind Barangaroo in Sydney and Paya Lebar Quarter in Singapore, built it with TRX City and handed it over in 2024. It is a one minute walk from TRX station on the Putrajaya Line, with The Exchange TRX Mall, Exchange 106, and the TRX City Park all a few minutes away.

What sets it apart inside the precinct is the title. TRX Residences is freehold, which not every project here can offer, and the entry is RM 960,000, around RM 2,200 per square foot. For a brand-new, branded unit a minute from the MRT in the middle of the financial district, that is a tight number.

Floor plans and unit sizes

Layouts run from compact units of about 474 square feet up to 1,636 square foot three-bedroom homes, so the building suits a single investor buying for yield and a family wanting space in town. The smaller units rent the fastest; the larger ones are the harder-to-replace stock that holds its value.

Floor plans matter more here than the headline size, because whether a unit faces TRX City Park or the city skyline changes both the rent and the resale. For the full floor plan pack and the exact stack, level, and view of a specific unit, message Ryan.

Price, yield, and the investment case

From RM 960,000 at around RM 2,200 per square foot, TRX Residences is priced for the early part of the TRX cycle. The thesis is straightforward: the precinct is still filling in, and freehold stock at the centre of a finished financial district tends to reprice upward as the offices, the mall, and the park reach full use. A well-chosen unit rents at roughly 4 to 5 percent gross, with tenants coming from the banks and firms moving into Exchange 106 and the surrounding towers.

The risk is supply and timing. Several TRX towers are still completing, which can hold prices flat in the short term. This is a hold, not a flip. Buyers who sit through the build-out and past the RPGT five year window tend to do best.

TRX Residences price in 2026: what you actually pay

The developer list starts at RM 960,000, which buys the smallest layouts at 474 square feet. The building averages about RM 2,200 per square foot, so mid-sized units land in the low RM 2,000,000s and a 1,636 square foot three-bedroom works out around RM 3,600,000 at that average. Floor, stack, and whether the unit faces TRX City Park or the skyline move the exact number, which is why two identical floor plans can be priced tens of thousands apart.

Context from our quarterly price index: the TRX district median asking price is RM 2,200 per square foot in the 2026-Q3 snapshot, which is exactly where TRX Residences sits. Core Residence, the completed freehold nearby, tracks at RM 2,326 per square foot, and leasehold Golden Crown Residence at RM 1,900. So the building is priced at the district's midpoint while holding the best walk time in it, one minute to the station.

One eligibility note: Kuala Lumpur requires foreign buyers to spend at least RM 1,000,000 per unit. The RM 960,000 entry units are therefore for Malaysian buyers; an overseas buyer should shortlist from RM 1,000,000 up, which still catches most of the building.

Booking, payment, and buying costs

The sequence is standard for completed stock: a booking fee holds the unit, the sale and purchase agreement follows within a few weeks, and the agreement plus loan documentation typically run six to ten weeks. Foreign buyers add state consent for the transfer, which is routine but adds a few weeks, so start it early.

Budget the transfer costs by nationality. A Malaysian citizen pays tiered stamp duty, about RM 24,000 on a RM 1,000,000 unit. A foreign buyer pays a flat 8% on any transfer executed on or after 1 January 2026, RM 80,000 on that same unit. Legal fees on the agreement add close to 1% for everyone, and a loan carries 0.5% stamp duty on the financed amount.

Why TRX Residences over the rest of TRX

Three things make TRX Residences the safer pick inside the district. The title is freehold, which protects resale value where leasehold stock will not. The developer is Lendlease, with a global record rather than a single-project name. And the connection is the best around, a one minute walk to the MRT and a few minutes to the mall and the park. If a lower entry price matters more to you and leasehold is fine, compare it with Golden Crown Residence, a two minute walk away.
