What you'll actually pay in TRX: 5,000 sq ft TCO at the submarket mid-band

A 5,000 sq ft unit at the TRX submarket mid-band of RM 12.50 psf (the mode at The Exchange 106, the only verified data set on this site, verified 2026-08-21) costs approximately RM 62,500/month in base rent before service charge, parking, AC overtime, utilities and SST — but base rent is the wrong number to shop on. Here's the all-in TCO on 5,000 sq ft at the TRX submarket mid-band, with each line dated and sourced:

For 5,000 sq ft in TRX at the submarket mid-band, expect a true first-month occupancy cost of approximately RM 76,660 — about 23% above the headline RM 62,500 base rent once service charge, parking, AC OT, utilities and SST 8% are added. The single biggest unknown is the per-psf service charge; the gap between "RM 1.00 psf" (budget norm) and the actual TRX figure, once disclosed by building management, is worth 5,000 × that delta per month.

The headline RM 13 psf upper bound is the asking rate, not the transacted rate — effective rent after MSC and TRX-district incentives is typically RM 2 lower (Savills Malaysia executive chairman Christopher Boyd, cited 2024-Q4). That delta is the submarket-level negotiation room a corporate renter should expect, not assume.

The buildings in TRX

The TRX submarket has 1 office tower with a full verified data set on this site as of 2026-08-21. Additional TRX towers are in the planning or announced pipeline but do not yet have building pages on this site — The Exchange 106 (TRX 106) is the only Grade A+ with a full verified data set today.

For the other TRX district towers (Menara IQ, Menara AFFIN, Menara Prudential — referenced in the trx-106 spoke's "Compare" block): each is described as a TRX district MSC Cybercentre anchor in Wikipedia and market listings, but none has a building page on this site today. Once a per-building page is written for any of them, it will appear in this section with the same row shape.

Transit reality at TRX

The TRX submarket is anchored on a single MRT interchange, Tun Razak Exchange MRT Station (KG20 Kajang Line / PY23 Putrajaya Line), with a 2-minute covered walk (~100 m) from The Exchange 106's Gate B along the basement link (klwalkpics field visit, 2023-09; mrt.com.my, 2026-08-06). Two lines serving the same station means a tenant commuting from anywhere in the Klang Valley is one interchange or one direct line away, and The Exchange 106's covered walkway is basement-level so KL's daily 3pm thunderstorm does not add walk time. E-hail pickup is straightforward — TRX District has dedicated lay-by drop-off points on Lingkaran TRX and Persiaran TRX (Wikipedia Tun Razak Exchange, 2026-08-06). Car park queue at the morning peak is not documented in public sources; anecdotal tenant reports (tenant-forum report, 2024) note that reserved bays are the practical answer for anyone driving in before 9am. The 1 bay per 2,500 sq ft leased ratio and RM 380/bay/mo season rate are TRX 106's published figures (CBDoffice.com.my; tenant-forum report, 2024); for the rest of the submarket the car-park ratio, season rate, and visitor rate are Not in public sources — building management call required.

MD / MSC status across the TRX submarket

Of the 1 verified building on this site as of 2026-08-21, The Exchange 106 holds MSC Malaysia Cybercentre designation (confirmed via trx.my news article 2024-09, cross-checked 2026-08-06). For Menara IQ, Menara AFFIN and Menara Prudential (the other TRX district towers referenced in the trx-106 spoke's "Compare" block): each is widely described as TRX district MSC Cybercentre in market materials, but a per-building verification row cannot be written until each has its own page on this site — building-specific MD/MSC status for those towers is "Not in public sources on this site; building management call required." A quick framing for a tenant evaluating the submarket: MD status is company-activity-based since 25 March 2022, not building-bound; sitting in an MSC-designated tower does not confer MD status on your company, and sitting outside one does not disqualify you. Roughly 35% of Malaysia's purpose-built office stock is MD-certified; only ~13% of MD companies actually sit in MD-certified premises (Kimi cross-verified research, 2026-07-30). For a TRX tenant: the MSC label is ecosystem signal (tech neighbours, fibre backbones, banker familiarity) more than tax event.

Lease risk and exit mechanics (TRX)

At the TRX submarket level as of 2026-08-21, public listings disclose 0 RM-psf line items for reinstatement, break clause, diplomatic clause, or bank guarantee — the KL Grade A market norm, not a TRX-specific position. The Exchange 106's per-building row is on the spoke page; submarket-level defaults below:

• Reinstatement cost at exit: Not publicly disclosed at submarket level. KL Grade A market norm is RM 5–15 psf for bare-shell reinstatement. Building management call required for the TRX 106-specific scope and cost.
• Break clause: Not standardly disclosed. By negotiation only — to be confirmed with each building's leasing desk.
• Diplomatic clause: Not standardly disclosed. By negotiation only — assignment/sublet rights subject to landlord consent. The mechanic that lets a foreign tenant exit early without deposit forfeiture (typically 12-month lock-in before invocable, 2-month notice plus documentary evidence, tenant still liable for rent during notice period, no offset against deposit) is general Malaysian commercial-lease practice but is not building-specific; verify the exact notice period and lock-in length against your own Letter of Offer before acting on it.
• Bank guarantee in lieu of cash deposit: Not standardly disclosed. Some KL Grade A landlords accept a bank guarantee in place of a cash security deposit, preserving working capital — but this is by negotiation, not a stated right, and building management call required.
• Rent escalation: Not publicly disclosed at submarket level. KL Grade A norm is fixed 5–8% per annum or 0% over a 3-year fixed term with 3-yearly market review. Building management call required for the building-specific figure.

For unreturned-deposit disputes at lease exit, the civil-claim path in Malaysia is the Magistrate's Court (claims up to RM 100,000) or Sessions Court (RM 100,001–1,000,000); tenancy agreements with a term over 3 years must be stamped within 30 days of execution at LHDN's e-Duti Setem portal to be admissible as evidence. Photographic move-in/move-out inventory is the practical protection against "fair wear and tear vs damage" disputes.

Who should rent in TRX?

TRX is a fit for: (a) PRC and regional fintech / tech companies that want to be in the same building as Huawei, Ant International and Exness (90% of TRX 106 tenants are international firms, per KLSE Screener 2025-08-13); (b) MNCs and Singapore regional HQs that want a single-MRT-interchange location with two-line coverage; (c) tenants with a premium budget who want the prestige signal of a 92-floor Grade A+ address. TRX is not a fit for: cost-sensitive back-office operations (try Cyberjaya), manufacturing-adjacent setups (try Penang / JB), or tenants who need a sub-RM 6 psf headline rent (TRX is at the top of the KL market).
