TRX: A Vision for the Future of Kuala Lumpur
The Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) is rapidly emerging as Kuala Lumpur’s most iconic central business district (CBD), thanks to the recent openings of The Exchange TRX retail hub and the TRX City Park. This meticulously planned development integrates world-class retail, public spaces, and residential living, setting a new benchmark for urban design in Malaysia.
Unmatched Connectivity in TRX
TRX’s accessibility redefines convenience for residents, workers, and visitors:
- By Public Transit: The TRX MRT station connects both the Kajang and Putrajaya lines, making it the only MRT interchange in Kuala Lumpur. The station’s design allows passengers to enter The Exchange TRX directly, creating seamless integration.
- By Road: Key infrastructure such as the SMART Tunnel and the newly opened Setiawangsa Pantai Expressway (SPE) provide direct vehicular access to TRX.
- Pedestrian-Friendly Environment: TRX is Malaysia’s first development with all vehicular roads placed underground, ensuring a car-free, pedestrian-centric surface. Walkable pathways connect TRX to KLCC, Bukit Bintang, and surrounding neighborhoods, enhancing its accessibility.
This infrastructure not only supports mobility but also ensures a safe and vibrant urban environment for all users.

- Event-Friendly Spaces: The venue has already hosted high-profile international celebrities, such as Tony Leung and South Korean stars Cha Eun Woo and B.I. This positions TRX as a global hotspot for cultural and entertainment events.
- TRX City Park: Atop The Exchange TRX sits a 10-acre rooftop park, a rare green haven in the city. Features include:
- A wet play area and climbing stations for children.
- An urban forest and herb garden for nature enthusiasts.
