KUALA LUMPUR: Lendlease and TRX City recently announced the completion of TRX Residences, the residential component of The Exchange TRX precinct. Boasting the exclusive postcode of 55188, the highrise homes feature several innovations that elevate industry standards enhancing the liveability of Kuala Lumpur. 

The first of three plots, TRX Residences targets the rare double green certifications of LEED Gold and GBI Gold. Residents will benefit from lower utility usage due to better heat management with double-glazed curtain walls using low-e glass, recycled water and solar panels on the rooftop. On top of an optimal design that offers natural lighting and ventilation in units, residents can also enjoy better air quality with mechanical ventilation throughout their units. 

“The completion of TRX Residences marks a new era of world-class standards of urban living in Kuala Lumpur. This project is a significant addition to our urban landscape, representing our vision of building sustainable and progressive communities. The achievement in obtaining the Strata Title more than two months ahead of CCC (Certificate of Completion and Compliance) is very impressive. This proves that our system is practical and that buyers’ rights are well protected when developers diligently pursue important milestones for buyers,” said Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming when officiating at the event.

Lendlease Malaysia chairman Dinesh Nambiar added: “The completion of TRX Residences is a true reflection of Lendlease’s global residential capabilities in creating places where communities thrive. This joins our growing list of successful urban regeneration precincts in key gateway cities globally like Sydney, London, New York, Singapore and more. The completion also marks another significant achievement of over seven million safe working hours. A safe working environment that translates into better build quality for our buyers.”

Anchoring this new way of living is the Smart Community App, customised for TRX Residences to maximise a societal way of life effectively. The user interface is sleek and stylish, offering unique features such as Marketplace where residents may exchange goods and services, Facility Occupancy which indicates the number of users in selected facilities, and Smart Controls, allowing residents access to lighting and AC controls from their phone for booked facilities. Residents can also receive exclusive offers from The Exchange TRX retailers through the app. 

TRX City Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Azmar Talib said the partnership with Lendlease in delivering TRX Residences realises TRX’s holistic vision as an International Financial Centre that is not just a place to work but it is also a place to live. “TRX Residences sets the stage for a new era of prestigious urban living,” he added.

TRX Residences project director Eric Chan said living at the centre includes unrivalled connectivity, thought in design and innovation, built around community and sustainability. 

“These are features that appeal to our buyer base who come from 25 countries worldwide. They appreciate our freehold status and we have sold all available units. We will be introducing new choice units soon. From the comfort of their homes, our residents only need to cross a mere 12-metre linkbridge to find the lush 10-acre activated rooftop TRX City Park as well as The Exchange TRX retail to experience the full potential of the TRX masterplan. We believe we have set a new benchmark in KL,” he said.

Lendlease and TRX City own another two plots to be developed under the  TRX Residences brand, and Plot 2 adjacent to the luxury node of The Exchange TRX retail. Together, these will form an entire residential enclave within TRX, leveraging on the potential of the master plan and the growth of the national economy.

Also present at the launching ceremony were Lendlease Malaysia managing director and country head Yong Su-Lin and chief financial officer Sonia Khan as well as TRX City chief operating officer Tan Hwa Min and chief financial officer Mohd Ismadi Ishak.
