Tun Razak Exchange


New Growth Nucleus

Tun Razak Exchange represents the future of Malaysia as the catalyst for economic and financial growth with key developments on an international scale.

Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) is a key enabler to strengthen the position of Kuala Lumpur as the global city of choice. This crucial component of the Greater Kuala Lumpur initiative will help transform Kuala Lumpur into an international hub for economic and financial activities.

Tun Razak Exchange aims to be a comprehensive clustering of services complimenting each other’s strength to sharpen the competitive edge of businesses housed at the exchange.

A 70-acre development to create a haven for new investment opportunities with wide-ranging economic activities that produces high multipliers, it is estimated to generate a gross development value of RM26 billion.

TRX will create the critical mass needed to significantly boost efficiency and productivity as well as accelerate Malaysia’s economic growth towards a high-income economy. It is thus seen as a critical enabler to the Government's Economic Transformation Programme.

Its master plan envisions for the highest level of international design and progressive planning tenets, including industry-leading sustainability in buildings and infrastructure, a pedestrian-friendly green public realm and seamless links to public transportation, including the MRT.

Tun Razak Exchange will also leverage on Malaysia’s leadership in global Islamic finance to cement her position in the world of international finance.

For the future it represents, KLIFD is identified by the Government of Malaysia as an Early Entry Point in its comprehensive Economic Transformation Programme to more than double per capita income by 2020.

1MDB is the Master Developer for KLIFD and a twin project – Bandar Malaysia, which is the urban redevelopment to transform the old Sungai Besi airport into a sustainable liveable city of international standard.

Location

Tun Razak Exchange is strategically located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. It sits on 70 acres in between Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Sultan Ismail and the Putrajaya elevated highway.

Easily accessible to motorists, commuters and pedestrians, Tun Razak Exchange is only a short walk to many of these places, including the city’s premier Central Business District.

Tun Razak Exchange will bring together world-class names to operate closely in a physical location.

This global growth nucleus of the future will expand the city’s business centre and tourist belt, connecting to the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC), the world's tallest twin towers, and the Bukit Bintang retail and commercial hub.
