Introduction

The TRX Food Exchange, a key feature of Kuala Lumpur's new lifestyle hub, The Exchange TRX, officially opened on 29 November 2023. This dynamic dining precinct offers a modern take on the traditional hawker scene and is located within Kuala Lumpur's international financial district. Mint Building Services played a crucial role in bringing this project to fruition by delivering comprehensive mechanical and electrical (M&E) services.

Creating the right environment

Mint Building Services was responsible for the complete MEPF services across the 60,000 square feet of the TRX Food Exchange. The space features 17 food kiosks, a large beverage kiosk, dishwasher rooms, an ice-making facility, and various seating areas, all designed around a grand focal staircase. These facilities required advanced infrastructure to support the diverse and bustling dining environment, ensuring functionality and convenience for both vendors and guests.
