Where the tower stands
The address is Jalan Gading, Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur. The 0.56-acre site sits between Jalan Gading and Jalan Palmer, off Jalan Bukit Bintang. The drop-off and grand entrance are on the ground floor, beside a private entrance and the car lift.
For example, a visitor coming from Pavilion Kuala Lumpur walks about 380 m to the lobby. The sales gallery is in Menara Keck Seng on Jalan Bukit Bintang, about 350 m away.

Trains: two lines a 6-minute walk away
The Bukit Bintang MRT station (KG18A) and the Bukit Bintang monorail station (MR6) are both about a 6-minute walk. The TRX station (KG20 / PY23) is one MRT stop from Bukit Bintang, or about an 11-minute walk from the tower. Raja Chulan and Imbi monorail stations are 11 and 12 minutes on foot.
For example, a resident who works at TRX can ride one MRT stop from Bukit Bintang on a rainy day instead of walking 11 minutes.
TRX on foot
TRX City Park is about an 8-minute walk, and The Exchange TRX mall is about 9 minutes away. Entrance A of the TRX MRT station is an 11-minute walk.
For example, an office worker at TRX who leaves the lobby at 8.40 am can be at the TRX MRT entrance before 8.55 am, without a car or a train.

Who this location suits
Suits
People who prefer to get around without a car: two train lines, four malls and TRX are within a 10-minute walk. For example, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, the Bukit Bintang MRT station and The Exchange TRX are all reachable on foot.
Less suited to
Households that need two cars, since each home has the right to use one parking bay. Families who want a school within walking distance, since the nearest international school on this page is about 3.4 km by road. Anyone who wants a quiet suburban street, since Bukit Bintang is a commercial, shopping and entertainment hub. For example, a family with two cars and a daily school run by car may do better further out.
