Own a unit at TR Residence? Whole-unit is the underwriting default — but be clear-eyed that this is a short-stay-native, rooms-present asset: four building-named Airbnb units at RM324-1,338 per five nights, a Trip.com branded operator, and six room listings already run in this building today. The measured book, read on 12 October 2026: 2-beds (850 sqft) at RM1,900-2,300, 3-beds (1,208-1,258 sqft) at RM2,500-2,700 on the dedicated Mudah entity — and our own board carries a 4.5-year plate at RM2,700 with 257 chat requests, the strongest demand record in this file. Sale asks start near RM497,500 with a cited RM580-psf median, so the honest gross arithmetic runs 3.6-5.5% a year asking-basis, 4.6-5.6% on the median-psf basis. Supply is the honest warning: portals have carried 76-110 units for rent at peaks, so price at the band, not above it. The commercial-title question decides short-stay — get the MC letter and the title document before any hospitality spend.
Three ways to run your unit
Pick a model card, tell the tool which plate you hold, then adjust the price to your own — the loaded price is the RM580-psf median applied to the 850 sqft plate, and no transacted file exists to better it. The answer updates as you type.

What can you earn?
The measured book is two-sided. The dedicated Mudah entity, eight cards read in full: 2-bed 850 sqft at RM1,900-2,300; 3-bed 1,208-1,258 sqft at RM2,500-2,700. Our own board: three TR-named cards — RM2,700 with 257 chat requests and 34 viewings on a plate live since April 2022, RM2,500 pet-friendly at 25, and a fresh RM2,400 at 12 — a 4.5-year operating record that anchors the top of the 3-bed class. One variance is recorded verbatim: the board's title claims "7 Zero Deposit Condos... from RM890" while three TR-named objects read; the RM890 floor card is unmatched, so it counts for nothing here. Portals corroborate the spread ("~RM900-2,600/month, around RM3.52 psf") and add the warning that matters: 76-110 units listed for rent at peaks. In a supply-heavy tower you win on the card, not the price.
The denominator is ask-grade: Brickz is not indexed for the building, iProperty carries about 54 units for sale from RM497,500, a June 2026 card reads RM638,000 (RM750.59 psf), and PropertyGuru's cited median is RM580 psf. Put together, labelled: 2-bed RM1,900-2,300 x 12 over RM497,500-638,000 = 3.6-5.5% a year gross; on the RM580-psf median basis (about RM493,000 on the 850 sqft plate) = 4.6-5.6%. Both sides are asks.
Rooms exist here — six PropertyGuru room listings up to September 2026, plus furnished rooms on the marketplace walking-distance to three rails — but their prices did not render this sweep, so no per-room band is printed and none is loaded into the calculator. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — and pet-friendly rooms earn about 15-20% more where they exist; one of our three own cards is pet-friendly.
Short-stay is structurally live: four building-named units at RM324-1,338 per five nights (roughly RM65-268 a night; at the calculator's 60% occupancy assumption that implies RM1,170-4,820 a month) plus "TR Residence Titiwangsa By Iconique" as a branded Trip.com operator. The spread is wide because the formats are — a RM324 roomstay and a RM1,338 apartment are different products.
Why whole-unit wins here
TR Residence is a 2021 leasehold tower of 632 units over 35 floors at the three-rail Titiwangsa hub — MRT, LRT and Monorail in walk, KLCC up Jalan Tun Razak. The 2-bed 850 sqft Type A is the parcel that sets the building's economics: the tenant is the hospital-and-city worker who pays for the rail spine, one agreement, one durable let.
Two records carry weight here. The title: one verified listing field prints "Title: Commercial (electricity under residential tariff)" — a commercial title with residential-tariff power, which cuts both ways on short-stay legality and is settled by your parcel's document, not by a listing. The management: with four named short-stay units and a branded operator already running, the MC's by-law text and enforcement record are the difference between an upside you can bank and an enforcement letter — and Malaysia's top court has confirmed a corporation can ban short-stay outright. Maintenance reads RM257.40 a month on one listing field (about RM0.30 psf on the Type A) — a single-card figure your statement must confirm.

FAQ
Can you rent rooms at TR Residence?
Yes — room letting already runs in-building: six PropertyGuru room listings and furnished marketplace rooms near the three rails. But their prices did not render this sweep, so no per-room band is printed; run your own split arithmetic against the measured 2-bed whole-let in the calculator, with the MC's multi-tenancy by-law in hand. See the room rental and co-living guide.
What yield does TR Residence give?
About 3.6-5.5% a year gross asking-basis — the measured RM1,900-2,300 2-bed ladder over RM497,500-638,000 asks — or 4.6-5.6% on the RM580-psf median basis. Brickz is not indexed for this building, so both sides are asks, and the supply-heavy flag (76-110 units at peak) says price at the band. Enter your own dated comparable above.
Is short-stay allowed at TR Residence?
Four building-named units trade at RM324-1,338 per five nights and a Trip.com branded operator runs here — the demand question is answered; the permission question is not. The commercial-title/residential-tariff status cuts both ways, and the answer is the management's written by-laws plus your title. Malaysia's top court confirmed a corporation can ban the use outright.
Are pets allowed at TR Residence?
The building's rules are not public. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — and pet-friendly rooms earn about 15-20% more; our own RM2,500 plate here is pet-friendly. The offer is SPEEDHOME policy; building rules can vary.
What running it looks like
Setup is the two documents: title and the management's letter. The work is one tenant whole-unit — a rail-spine worker or a young city household in the 850 sqft Type A — with the cycle of one listing, viewings, a stamped tenancy agreement, then rent day. In a supply-heavy tower the furnished, zero-deposit card with fast internet is the one that moves, and our 257-chat-request plate is the proof the demand exists when the card is right. SPEEDHOME runs the listing, the viewings and the screening, and you approve the tenant before the agreement is signed. Keep the fit-out reversible, and treat short-stay as the title-and-letter-gated upside the named operators have already priced.
