More than 85% of the office supply at Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) has been committed, master developer TRX City Sdn Bhd (TRXC) said, as the Kuala Lumpur financial district prepares to add about 808,000 sq ft of net lettable area through a new 41-storey tower, Menara Ethos, EdgeProp Malaysia reported.

In a statement on Tuesday (1 September), TRXC said main construction is expected to start in December 2026 and the tower will be TRX's 10th building. WCT Bhd, the construction arm of WCT Holdings Bhd, accepted a RM600.89 million contract on 28 August from Pelangi Pasifik Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned TRXC subsidiary, according to a Bursa Malaysia filing. Work is scheduled to begin on 1 December 2026.

The tower sits on Lot 20076 (Plot 7) and part of Lot 20077 (Plot 8) in Section 67. It will have two basement levels, a four-storey podium for parking and mechanical space, and 41 storeys of office, facilities, commercial and mechanical space. The contract covers civil and structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing, facade, landscaping and external works.

Located in TRX's Financial Quarter with access to the district's MRT interchange, Menara Ethos is designed to achieve WELL Core and Shell certification, a building standard focused on occupant health. Planned features include sky gardens, a dedicated event floor and a central business hub.

PwC Malaysia will move its new headquarters into the tower once it is completed. About 30,000 people now work in the 70-acre district, according to TRXC, which is wholly owned by the Ministry of Finance.
