Tun Razak Exchange (GPS: 3.14202, 101.71823), also called TRX, and formerly as Kuala Lumpur International Financial District, is an iconic mixed development created to be the financial district of Kuala Lumpur. Concurrently planned with Bandar Malaysia, it is intended to place Kuala Lumpur on the map as one of the major financial capitals of Asia.
The Tun Razak Exchange project is being developed on a 70-acre piece of land bounded by Jalan Tun Razak to the east, Jalan Kampung Pandan to the south, Jalan Kampung to the northwest and Jalan Utara in the northeast. Within the area will be the Tun Razak Exchange MRT Station, the largest underground station of the Kuala Lumpur MRT system.
The master plan for Tun Razak Exchange calls for the construction of 26 buildings with a total gross floor area of 21 million square feet. Anchoring the development is the 112-storey Signature Tower, which will be among the tallest buildings in Kuala Lumpur. There will also be a lifestyle shopping mall, two 5-star hotels and up to six luxury condominiums. 24% of the area will be given over to open spaces and greenery.
The Exchange 106, previously called Signature Tower, is the centrepiece of the Tun Razak Exchange development. The 106-storey 492-meter skyscraper is developed by the Mulia Group. It will house luxurious commercial office units. The skyscraper offers 4 million square feet of Gross Floor Area (GFA), and is targeted for completion in 2019.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
