Golden Crown Residence @ TRX is one of the most interesting new launches in central Kuala Lumpur for buyers who want to live or invest right beside Malaysia’s new international financial hub. It now also sits next to what will become a major education hub, with Monash University Malaysia planning a RM2.8 billion city campus in TRX, further strengthening the long‑term demand story for this address
Where is Golden Crown Residence @ TRX?
Golden Crown Residence is located next to the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), Kuala Lumpur’s new 70‑acre international financial district. TRX is designed as Malaysia’s answer to Canary Wharf or Marina Bay – a cluster of Grade A offices, luxury hotels, residences, and The Exchange TRX lifestyle mall anchored by TRX MRT Interchange.
From Golden Crown Residence, residents enjoy very short access (or a direct connection, depending on final integration) to TRX MRT Interchange, which connects MRT 1 and MRT 2 lines and links quickly to Bukit Bintang, Cochrane, KLCC, and other key parts of Greater KL. This combination of rail connectivity and mall integration is a major driver of future capital appreciation and rental demand.
Monash University’s new TRX campus – a long‑term demand engine
In October 2025, Monash University Malaysia announced a partnership with TRX City to invest RM2.8 billion in a new city campus right in the TRX district. The upcoming Kuala Lumpur campus is scheduled to open around 2032 and is planned to accommodate up to 22,500 students and 1,700 staff by 2040, complementing Monash’s existing Subang Jaya campus rather than replacing it.
Monash expects this investment to contribute around RM19.1 billion to Malaysia’s economy over the next decade through infrastructure, innovation, workforce development and community activities. More than 35 new programmes are projected in areas such as digital transformation, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, climate change and sustainability, healthcare, advanced manufacturing and finance, which aligns closely with the knowledge‑economy direction of TRX itself.
For property owners, this means Golden Crown Residence will eventually sit within walking distance of not just offices and a mall, but also a major international university campus drawing thousands of students, academics and visiting professionals into the area every year. Over time, that combination of financial district, mall and education cluster can underpin both rental demand and lifestyle value for owners and tenants.
Project overview: height, density and layouts
Golden Crown Residence is a 60‑storey leasehold highrise with about 490 units, developed by Golden Eagle Group / Golden Eagle Nation. The project focuses on efficient 1–3 bedroom serviced residence layouts with built‑ups of approximately 624 to 1,023 square feet, which are practical sizes for city professionals, couples and small families who want to live in or near TRX.
Current typical configurations such as 1‑bedroom units around 624 square feet, mid‑sized 2‑bedroom units in the 700–800+ square foot range, and 3‑bedroom units up to roughly 1,023 square feet. Prices generally start from around RM1.28 million for smaller units and move upwards past RM2 million for larger or higher‑floor types, depending on exact size, floor and view orientation.
Facilities and lifestyle
Golden Crown Residence is positioned as a vertical luxury home that can compete with KLCC and Bukit Bintang projects on lifestyle and facilities. Residents will be able to enjoy a sky infinity pool with city views, sky or rooftop lounges, landscaped sky gardens and lifestyle spaces for events and private gatherings.
On the wellness side, marketing materials highlight a modern gymnasium, yoga and fitness areas, as well as family‑friendly elements such as children’s play areas and multi‑purpose halls. Combined with TRX’s own retail and F&B ecosystem, this creates a live‑work‑play environment that appeals both to owner‑occupiers working in the CBD and to tenants from multinational companies, professional firms and, in future, the Monash TRX campus community.
Why Golden Crown Residence @ TRX matters for international buyers
Golden Crown Residence stands out because it sits at the intersection of financial, retail and education catalysts in one location. TRX has been planned as a long‑term financial hub, and the new Monash University Malaysia city campus adds another powerful knowledge‑economy layer that is expected to grow student and staff numbers in the area for decades.
For local upgraders, Golden Crown Residence provides a way to own a city home with direct MRT access, an integrated mall and proximity to a major international university, potentially reducing commute time and creating more options for work, study and lifestyle. For international buyers and MM2H participants, the project offers a modern Kuala Lumpur base near TRX, Bukit Bintang and KLCC, with a strong long‑term story built on education and professional services, not just retail and tourism
Golden Crown Residence meets all foreign ownership requirements in Malaysia. International buyers can purchase units from RM1.28 million, which exceeds the RM1 million minimum threshold for foreign ownership in Kuala Lumpur.
For Singaporean Buyers: At current exchange rates (approximately 1 SGD = 3.50 MYR), Golden Crown units start from around SGD 365,000—significantly less expensive than comparable KLCC-adjacent properties in Singapore. The TRX MRT connection and direct highway access make this an attractive weekend home or rental investment for Singaporean families.
For Chinese Investors: TRX represents Malaysia’s answer to Shanghai’s Lujiazui or Beijing’s CBD—a purpose-built international financial district. Golden Crown’s positioning next to Grade A offices, The Exchange TRX mall, and MRT connectivity mirrors the transit-oriented developments that have performed well in tier-1 Chinese cities.
For MM2H Participants: Units in Golden Crown Residence may qualify toward the property purchase requirement under Malaysia’s MM2H (Malaysia My Second Home) program, subject to verification with MM2H authorities. The project’s central location, international school proximity, Monash University, hospitals and expat-friendly amenities make it particularly suitable for MM2H families.
How this fits into a KLCC–TRX strategy
Viewed alongside KLCC and Bukit Bintang developments, Golden Crown Residence @ TRX can play a strategic role in a diversified central‑KL portfolio. Owners who already hold KLCC or Bukit Bintang units may use TRX‑fronting assets to increase exposure to finance, technology and education‑driven rental demand, while first‑time central‑KL investors may find Golden Crown an accessible starting point with strong infrastructure backing.
When comparing options, it is useful to look beyond brochures and examine factors such as exact walking distance to TRX MRT and the future Monash campus, orientation and views, layout practicality, and long‑term maintenance expectations. A tailored comparison between Golden Crown Residence and nearby TRX, Bukit Bintang, Cochrane and KLCC projects can help clarify which property best matches specific budget, risk profile and lifestyle goals.
