OK this is what is rumored and discussed in the local thread as of now. No details are released yet until a further announcement will be made in September 2012.



1. The new name is TRX or Tun Razak Exchange at the KL International Financial District.

2. It is accessible by one of KL's main circular road - Jalan Tun Razak, which shares the same name as TRX.

3. It is located near Bukit Bintang, at the far end of the Pudu/San Peng area, once known as the backyard of Kuala Lumpur due partly to the existence of the centuries-old Pudu Jail, which will also be thorn down soon.



4. The winning international architect for the iconic signature tower has yet to be announced.

5. The final masterplan was revealed yesterday and thus is completed. The leading planner was Machado & Silvetti Associates of Boston USA.

6. The masterplan focused in creating a "global" environment for Kuala Lumpur. The masterplan features large green spaces, sustainable buildings, limited motor vehicle usage, large tranquil parks coupled with rooftop gardens and solid waste management eco-system.

7. Based on KL City Hall planning submission, there will be a provision of up to 24 towers, a large upscale shopping mall and retail boulevards with ample parking spaces. All structures to be erected will be dependent on market demand.

8. The Phase 1 of the project is due for completion in 2017. Construction has started.

9. Tun Razak Exchange will also host an underground MRT station, which is currently under construction.

You saw nothing.

Why is it called residential office? SOHO isit?

im guess pasar bukit bintang will disappear in future..

I think so..just the matter of time..
I went to Weng Gor Hainam tea quite often last time..

yeah, later dai shu tao eatery area will gone also.

What a waste.

This project going to make cheras properties HOT

later maybe like plaza rakyat.. hope situation now not like 97.. lol

with many incentive already and possible coming budget will get more.

I think won't be another plaza rakyat.

but marco & micro economy still the main factor.

The hawker stall next to Imbi pasar ady gone

Checked with the Pasar Bukit Bintang veggie seller a few months ago, confirmed that they are asked to move.

Vested around here. Hehe. Not so much care about the trx development jadi or not. If jadi best for me. If MRT done + interchange MRT done . Huang lar. So far without this 2. Still very good investment for me. Ohhh.. Imbi pasar moving soon? I miss the Hainan tea and bread there.
