Malaysia has the potential to become a major Asian

to position ourselves as a nucleus of global talent;
a center for the development of new and exciting
technologies; a focal point for the exchange of ideas
and information. And at the heart of this plan is
Kuala Lumpur.
What began as an idea for a Kuala Lumpur International
Financial District has evolved into something larger and
more inclusive. The Tun Razak Exchange is a 70-acre
haven for new investment opportunities, estimated to
generate a gross development value of RM26 billion
( USD8 billion).
We also expect more than 250 of the world’s leading
companies to locate here, creating 500,000 jobs directly
and indirectly by the time it is fully completed. 40,000
will be knowledge workers specified to financial services,
reflecting our ambition for the Tun Razak Exchange to
be home to a strong, vibrant and diverse international
business community.

A UNIQUE
OPPORTUNITY
TRX – A NEW WORLD-CLASS FINANCIAL
DISTRICT AT THE HEART OF ONE OF
SOUTHEAST ASIA’S MOST VIBRANT CITIES
TRX; a landmark, mixed-use development in the heart of Kuala Lumpur will encompass
a new international financial district underpinned by a world-class residential, retail, leisure
and cultural offering.
1
Kuala Lumpur is a vibrant and fast-growing
hub for the wider region, poised to benefit from
significant investment following the commitment
of ASEAN leaders to set up an integrated ASEAN
Economic Community (AEC) by 2015.
2
Kuala Lumpur continues to generate substantial
growth but lacks a defined financial district.
This impedes the benefits generated by the
clustering of financial services players and
related businesses. The Government of Malaysia
has identified TRX as fundamental to transforming
Kuala Lumpur into a global city of choice,
and an international center for economic
and financial activity.
3
Spread over 70 acres of prime freehold land
minutes from the Petronas Twin Towers, TRX
balances investment grade office, city residential
and prime retail mall space with hotel, cultural
and leisure facilities. It will be Kuala Lumpur’s first
and only financial district.
4
Under the direction of the Malaysian Government’s
strategic development company 1MDB, TRX is
a core component of the Government’s Economic
Transformation Program and is overseen by
a Minister-led special task force appointed by
Prime Minister Najib Razak.
5
TRX will bring together global partners to create
a haven for new opportunities and diverse
economic activities at a time when the country’s
financial services sector is projected to double in
size to assets totaling over USD2 trillion.
KEY
HIGHLIGHTS
PRIME LOCATION IN THE HEART OF KL
TRX can be seen as a natural expansion of the
Golden Triangle, the city’s famous commercial,
shopping and entertainment hub. The site lies
on the southern edge of the city center between
Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Sultan Ismail and the
Putrajaya/Kuala Lumpur International Airport
elevated highway (MEX ), and forms the new
southern gateway to the capital.
EXCELLENT ACCESSIBILITY
AND TRANSPORT LINKS
Fully integrated with highways and major arterial
roads, TRX will have the city’s largest MRT (subway)
interchange. Accessibility is enhanced by LRT
(overland rail ), Monorail stations and new highway
connections with direct links to the MEX Highway,
Smart Tunnel and Jalan Tun Razak arterial route.
The 45-minute journey to the international airport
stands to become even shorter upon the 2017
completion of the Greater KL MRT.
STRONG SUPPORT FROM AND
CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH
THE GOVERNMENT OF MALAYSIA
a strategic priority for the country, stating that
“the Government will go out of its way to ensure
that the exchange is a success.” A special
task force led by the Minister in charge of the
Economic Planning Unit will oversee its planning
and development.
ATTRACTIVE
GOVERNMENT INCENTIVES
The Government of Malaysia’s strong support
for the project is demonstrated by the attractive
incentives available to partners and investors,
which include income tax exemptions of 70% for
a period of 5 years for building development.
Tenant incentives include 10-year tax deductions
against rental costs or building purchase,
exemption from stamp duty for the initial leasing
or purchase of a building, and tax deductions for
relocation costs. The special task force is assigned
to directly assist with facilitating investments and
setting up of business operations in TRX.
IMMEDIATE SCALE
AND DIVERSIFICATION
The mixed-use portfolio offers investors immediate
access to sizeable assets across various sectors
heart of a growing major market.

OVERVIEW
The office market in Kuala Lumpur has seen strong take-up
rates for recently completed higher quality office buildings.
The supply of more highly specified office space has
increased over the past few years, yet there remains a lack
of world-class investment grade office space in the city.
TRX will fill this gap and create the critical mass needed
to boost efficiency and productivity, allowing businesses
and services to complement each other’s strengths and
maximize their competitive edge.
As a result, the district will serve as an important catalyst for
Malaysia’s continued development and economic growth.
TRX will be Malaysia’s first dedicated financial services
hub; the tax incentives, regulatory support and clustering
benefits will make TRX a location of choice for leading
financial services institutions.
The plans for TRX include the only large-scale
retail development in the city center. By the time of
completion, existing market-leading malls such as
Pavilion KL and Suria KLCC will be 10 and 20 years old
respectively, creating a market need for fresh new retail
concepts and a world-class retail experience.
The proposed hotels in TRX will benefit from the district’s
8 million sq ft of office space and surrounding retail
amenities. An anticipated increase of 36 million tourist
arrivals by 2020 will also lead to greater demand for
room space in the capital.
