Core Precious Development Sdn Bhd launched its residential project, Core Residence, at the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) in Kuala Lumpur on 25 November 2019. The RM1.4 billion high-end project will be developed on a 1.65-acre land in the Kuala Lumpur International Financial District.
Core Precious is a joint-venture (JV) company between WCT Holdings Bhd and China Communications Construction Group (CCCG). The company is 80% owned by CCCG and 20% by WCTC.
CCCG is a global leader in many industries including real estate, covering a project development area of almost 30-million square meters all across the world. They have been in the Malaysian market for 20 years, focusing on infrastructure construction. It is the builder of the Penang Second Bridge and the East Coast Rail Link. CCCG is listed in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and it has projects in Los Angeles, Indonesia, Africa, and Sri Lanka.
Core Precious managing director and general manager of international business division of CCCG Real Estate Group, Zhang Bao said that Core Residence @ TRX adheres to the group’s vision of ‘making the world more accessible, cities more liveable and life more beautiful’. The developer strives to make Core Residence @ TRX the benchmark for modern and sustainable urban living in Kuala Lumpur.
Core Residence @ TRX will feature naturally-lit and well-ventilated units that embrace the iconic views of the Kuala Lumpur cityscape, complemented by top-notch amenities. The project is positioned to be the frontier of global living for professionals and financial practitioners who will live and work in the business district of Kuala Lumpur.
The 70-acre TRX is deemed a natural expansion of the Golden Triangle – Kuala Lumpur’s prominent commercial, shopping, and entertainment hub – and Core Residence will accommodate new generation clientele who need the convenience of accessibility and require facilities to meet their modern urban lifestyle needs.

The developer is targeting buyers from Malaysia, China, Indonesia, and Singapore for this project.

Zhang Bao said, the average price for the residences is RM2,200 per square feet.
The project is scheduled for completion at the end of 2023, and handover to buyers for the residences will begin from early 2024. The 50-storey project features an infinity pool, air gym, indoor playroom, outdoor lounge, and a central park on level 7. With GBI and LEED green building certification standards, the project is also more energy-efficient and sustainable.
Core Residence @ TRX is slated for completion in 2023, with the handover in 2024. Zhang says it targets to fully sell the project by 2022.
“We are targeting international buyers as TRX is going to be the new financial hub of Kuala Lumpur. We are working with some real estate agencies to bring in buyers from Singapore, Japan, China, just to name a few,” said Zhang.

Analysis
Within Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), The Exchange 106 is the first project to be completed, and the development will also house the new Malaysian corporate headquarters for HSBC, Affin Bank, Prudential Insurance, residential units, a 10-acre park, and a mall.
As for Core Residence, it is the first residential development project there. Its prime location and connectivity makes it a coveted address. The development will be complemented by top-notch amenities that provide a five-star quality lifestyle without leaving the comfort of home. It is perfect for those who want to be at the centre of all the hustle and bustle – financial district, entertainment, dining, park, global events, sports and leisure.
In its H1 2019 report on Malaysian real estate, global property consultant Knight Frank said that Kuala Lumpur’s office rental market outlook “remains cloudy“, as new buildings that have no major tenants end up competing with existing office space. Lendlease Asia CEO Tony Lombardo said that TRX financial district is different as it is a niche development and would not be affected.
Prospective tenants are looking at the big picture of the future potential of the TRX. There could be quick move-in occupancy once the full TRX development is complete. When that happens, it will bode well for residential developments there.
Here’s a quick look at properties in the KL City Centre.

Summary
CCCG has been in the Malaysian market for 20 years, focusing on infrastructure construction. It is the builder of the Penang Second Bridge and the East Coast Rail Link. So, there’s little to worry about, if you have not heard of CCCG.
In February 2019, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng has declared that the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) project had been “detoxified”. At the launch of the development’s lifestyle component, The Exchange, Guan Eng said the assets belonging to the project had undergone a “detoxification” programme resultant of the government-led review of the associated projects. The review showed that the government would be able to recover all of its opportunity cost and investment made into TRX.
