Anonymised case study
TRX Rental Demand Case Study
This scenario shows how a TRX-focused buyer discovered that Core Residence's implied PSF already sat above KLCC's verified benchmark, changing the whole rental math before booking.
Lewis recommendation
TRX buyers should benchmark against KLCC's verified 3.7-4.5% yield range, not an assumed TRX premium — Core Residence's own psf already sits above KLCC's, so treat any higher projected TRX yield as unverified until proven with real rent listings.

Buyer Question
Who will rent or buy this later?
Lewis Comment
Since TRX doesn't yet have the same depth of verified rent listings as KLCC, the client's rental assumption was capped at KLCC's proven RM4,500/month case-study rent for a comparable unit, rather than a higher, TRX-specific projection with no track record behind it.

Purchase price
The client's shortlisted unit at Core Residence implied roughly RM1,400-1,930 psf once entry price and unit size were checked against each other — already above KLCC's verified RM1,200-1,550 psf case study, meaning TRX wasn't the cheaper city-centre alternative the client had assumed.
Current rental
Since TRX doesn't yet have the same depth of verified rent listings as KLCC, the client's rental assumption was capped at KLCC's proven RM4,500/month case-study rent for a comparable unit, rather than a higher, TRX-specific projection with no track record behind it.
Outcome
Given TRX's higher entry PSF and unproven rent evidence, the client treated TRX as a KLCC-tier holding decision rather than a yield play — proceeding only after confirming the unit's office-anchor tenant proximity, not on the strength of the master-plan narrative alone.
FAQ
Is TRX cheaper than KLCC per sqft?
Not necessarily — Core Residence @ TRX implies ~RM1,400-1,930 psf, above KLCC's verified RM1,200-1,550 psf case study, so TRX shouldn't be assumed as the lower-cost city-centre option.
Should I compare TRX with KLCC before booking?
Yes — since both compete for the same tenant pool and TRX doesn't yet have the same depth of verified rent data, use KLCC's proven case study as your realistic yield benchmark.
What is the main risk in TRX Rental Demand Case Study?
