Mulia Group is the latest investor in the TRX after Lend Lease International, a global property and infrastructure group, which is developing the RM8bil Lifestyle Quarter. The other investor is Veolia Water Technologies, whose water management technology will halve potable water use in TRX.

The Mulia Group, which has a leading market share for premium commercial properties in Jakarta, developed, owns and manages seven premier office buildings in Jakarta's central business district, including the Wisma Mulia 1 and 2.
Wisma Mulia 1 and 2 are ranked amongst Jakarta’s tallest and most prestigious office buildings that together house key global and local blue-chip companies in Indonesia. The Mulia group has also developed and managed internationally renowned hotels, and residential and shopping mall properties.
Mulia Group president director and owner Eka Tjandranegara he was excited to embark on the project to develop the Signature Tower to become the new landmark of Kuala Lumpur city.
“Our Mulia Group wishes to be an integral part of this iconic state-of-the-art development not only for Malaysia but for the region and beyond."
“We see TRX’s potential to further develop the city’s role as a financial capital, and the Tun Razak Exchange aids our growth and expansion plans. I am committed to personally seeing this project through, drawing from our vast experience,” he said.
The Mulia Group’s properties also include their award-winning Hotel Mulia Bali which essentially comprises of The Mulia, Mulia Resort & Villas in Nusa Dua, Bali. In the past two years, the resorts have been awarded six prestigious awards by Condé Nast.
TRX’s significant investment in its infrastructure is to create a truly accessible world-class financial hub. Tenants can connect to the city centre and the rest of Greater KL, via the largest integrated underground MRT interchange station.
The MRT will connect TRX to the proposed High Speed Rail terminus station at Bandar Malaysia, linking TRX to Singapore’s financial centre.
