Quick answer: who is Core Residence @ TRX for?
Core Residence @ TRX suits buyers who want a completed home inside Tun Razak Exchange, directly connected to the TRX MRT interchange, with units from a 624 sq ft 1-bedroom to a 1,022 sq ft 3-bedroom in Towers 1 and 2. It is less suited to buyers who want a launch-stage payment schedule or a purely residential estate, as offices and a hotel share the site.

My view
In one line: Core Residence is inside TRX and was completed in 2024, from RM 1.5 million. You are buying a home you can live in now, in the financial district, on a site it shares with a park, a mall, offices and a hotel.
On price: Its own 5 transactions came in at about RM 2,120 to 2,350 psf, close to its listed price of about RM 2,171 psf, and within the range of actual sales at TRX Residences, about 350 m away. Five records are only an early guide.
Living there: The TRX MRT interchange, where two MRT lines meet, is about 410 m away in a straight line; The Exchange TRX and Mercato are about 210 m away and TRX City Park about 180 m. The maintenance fee is RM 0.85 psf including sinking fund, so the 925 sq ft B3 costs about RM 786 a month (RM 0.85 × 925 sq ft). Tower 1 has 7 units per floor and Tower 2 has 8, served by 3 lifts plus 1 service lift.
Who it suits, who it doesn't: It suits people who work in the financial district and want to move in now, and foreign buyers who need a completed unit above RM 1 million. It does not suit buyers who want a new-launch payment schedule: this is a completed building. It also does not suit anyone who wants a purely residential setting, since offices and a hotel share the site. Larger families may find it too small: the biggest unit in Towers 1 and 2 is a 1,022 sq ft three-bedroom.
How long to hold: It suits long-term living or holding. On rents, Core's own 624 to 625 sq ft units ask RM 5,000 to 6,000 a month, but those are owners' asking prices, not signed leases. Towers 1 and 2 and the Tower 3 hotel suites sit at very different prices, so decide which product you want first.
Check for yourself when viewing: Since it is completed, view the actual unit you would buy; utility rates and assessment tax on the commercial title; and the entrances and noise between your floor and the offices and hotel, which is worth seeing on site.
- Suits: buyers who want a TRX address and want to move in now; people who work in the financial district; foreign buyers who need to clear the RM 1 million threshold with a completed asset.
- Think twice if: you want a launch-stage payment schedule, or a purely residential building without offices and a hotel in the neighbourhood.

Asking rents are what owners are listing for, not signed leases, so treat them as a ceiling.
How I read it. Core Residence's own five recorded sales, about RM 2,120 to 2,350 psf with the middle at about RM 2,150, sit close to its listed price of about RM 2,171 psf. Some recent sales in newly completed buildings are the developer's own first sales being registered, not resales. Five sales is a thin record, so treat it as a first read rather than a settled resale price. Size for size, that sits inside the range TRX Residences units actually sold for, and above Agile Bukit Bintang, where the middle of recorded sales is about RM 1,850 to 1,930 psf. Asking rents point the same way: Core's two-bedroom sizes are listed close to TRX Residences' 850 sq ft units and above Agile's. All three are finished buildings you can inspect today, so there is no completion wait to price in.
Which Core Residence layout suits you?
Towers 1 and 2 hold the compact stock:
| Type | Size | Configuration | Who it suits (my view) |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | 624 sq ft | 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom | One person, or a city base |
| A2 | 688 sq ft | 1 + 1 bedrooms, 1 bathroom | One person who wants a study |
| B1 | 817 sq ft | 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | A couple who needs a second bedroom |
| B2 / B2a | 839 sq ft | 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | A couple or two sharers |
| B3 | 925 sq ft | 2 + 1 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (Tower 1) | A couple or small family who wants a study |
| B4 | 1,011 sq ft | 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | A couple who wants more room |
| C1 | 1,022 sq ft | 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | A small family that needs three bedrooms |
Tower 3 is a hotel-apartment block of 120 fully furnished units, 646 to 1,572 sq ft, at about RM 2.01 million to RM 4.66 million; ask for its separate price list and floor plans.
What I would pick. In Towers 1 and 2, B3 at 925 sq ft in Tower 1 is the layout I would choose for own stay: 2 + 1 bedrooms and two bathrooms, and still under the psychological line where TRX pricing gets steep. A1 at 624 sq ft is the entry ticket and the most liquid unit in the building. If you need a family home rather than a city base, go straight to Tower 3 and compare its layouts against CloutHaus and Orion, because at that budget those become the real alternatives.
Price per square foot against its neighbours
| Project | From | Price per sq ft | Built-up | Units | Monthly fee | Completion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core Residence @ TRX | RM 1,500,000 | from about RM 2,171 | 622 to 1,572 sq ft | 580 | RM 0.85 psf | Completed 2024 |
| Golden Crown | RM 1,280,000 | about RM 2,051 | 624 to 1,238 sq ft | 490 | RM 0.80 psf | Expected 2026 |
| Centrix The Station | RM 907,800 | about RM 1,600 to 1,850 | 564 to 1,187 sq ft | 857 | RM 0.44 psf | Expected 2029 |
| CloutHaus | RM 1,548,800 | about RM 2,900 | 549 to 1,216 sq ft | 615 | RM 0.80 psf | Expected 2029 |
| Orion Residence | RM 1,450,000 | about RM 2,707 to 3,750 | 491 to 1,329 sq ft | 298 | RM 1.32 psf | Completed 2026 |
| Pavilion Square | RM 1,319,000 | about RM 2,300 to 2,800 | 504 to 1,272 sq ft | 960 | RM 0.90 psf | Expected 2029 |
Core and Orion are the two completed buildings here, and Core's price per square foot sits below Orion, Pavilion Square and CloutHaus, and above Golden Crown and Centrix. Golden Crown, about 470 m away, has a lower entry price but is still under construction (expected 2026), while Core is ready now.
Facilities
Level 7 is the family and community deck: function hall, reading room, indoor playground, outdoor lounge and a recreational park. The development also has a childcare centre. Level 50 is the sky deck: sky pool, wading pool, pool deck and sky gym. There is also a sky bar on the hotel rooftop within the development. Beyond the building, residents have the 10-acre TRX Central Park and The Exchange Mall on the same estate.
