Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) is an iconic 70-acre development in the heart of Kuala Lumpur that is set to become Asia's next destination for international finance and business.

Conceived as an international financial hub, Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) has received the thumbs up from financial institutions that are making this address their home base. The 70-acre development’s well-crafted master plan, which takes into consideration its location, connectivity, accessibility and ample green spaces, ensures that TRX will remain relevant and create value for the country.

Individual developments rarely have leverage over a city’s planning. In the past, they were designed to maximise the footprint, and squeeze value from every square metre. But this resulted in many missed opportunities in making cities live, work and play better.

When stepping into the TRX district, there is a distinct sense of space that expands before you. Right in the middle of the city, wide green open space leads you through the development and connects the public retail space to the office towers and into the residential quarter.

When it comes to the infrastructure, or hardware, of cities of the future, there are two basic building blocks that feature strongly: sustainability and technology. Both are closely intertwined. Unless one were to build a city from the ground up, many times these key building blocks are difficult to add on later. When done as an afterthought, you are rarely able to truly maximise its benefits.
