Four things buyers weigh at Core Residence at TRX

Freehold homes inside the TRX financial district. Here is the case, and what to check.

🏦

Inside the financial district

The project sits within the 70-acre Tun Razak Exchange, aimed at professionals who work in the district.

🚇

MRT interchange and tunnel access

The developer lists the TRX MRT interchange, about 100 m away by a covered pedestrian link, the MEX Highway and the SMART Tunnel as the main links.

📍

Short distances

Pavilion KL is about 800 m away, the Royal Selangor Golf Club 850 m, Prince Court Medical Centre 900 m and the Twin Towers 1.8 km.

⚖️

What to weigh: entry price and dates

Asking prices in October 2026 ran from about RM1.18 million, and asking rents from about RM4,000 to RM10,000 a month. The completion date on IQI does not match press reports of the March 2023 topping-out, so check the CCC date.

The recorded numbers

What units here sell and rent for

Recorded sales and asking prices are different things. Transacted figures come from deals recorded with the government valuation department; asking figures are what owners or the developer are listing at.

Brickz and EdgeProp showed no transacted figures for this project when checked, so the sale and rent figures are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru in October 2026 (about 135 units for sale and 278 for rent were listed). The launch row is the developer’s list price recorded on IQI. Asking prices are not sale prices: ask Jason for recorded subsale prices before you offer.

Is it for you?

Which kind of buyer are you?

The same building suits different people for different reasons. Pick the line that sounds like you.

🏠 Living here yourself

Layouts here run from about 624 to 1,022 sq ft. Ask me which stacks get the better view and the least afternoon sun; that changes the price more than the floor.

💰 Buying to rent out

Compare the recorded rents in "The price numbers" above with the instalment on your loan. Smaller layouts usually rent faster; larger ones hold tenants longer.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family with children

Check the school and clinic distances in the location section, the number of car parks per unit and how busy the lifts are at 7.30 am.

✈️ Buying from overseas

Foreigners can only buy above the state minimum price and pay 8% stamp duty from 2026. Ask me which units here qualify before you shortlist.
