Location

The Bandar Tun Razak station is located between the western edge of ''

'' and the Salak Expressway, placing the station on a steep slope that drops down from ''Bandar Tun Razak'' onto the highway. Due to this precarious position, the station is only intended to serve the ''Bandar Tun Razak'' area via ''Persiaran Ikhlas'' (Sincerity Drive) (an inner road in the Sri Kota Flat complex of ''Bandar Tun Razak''), as well as neighbouring ''Taman Mulia'' (Noble Estate) and the southern fringe of ''Bandar Sri Permaisuri'' (Splendorous Queen Town) from the north The station's inclusion of a sole entrance towards ''Bandar Tun Razak'' means other areas on the opposing side of the Salak Expressway, such as '' Kampung Baru Salak Selatan'' (Salak South New Village) and ''Desa Petaling'' (Petaling Countryside) are not directly linked to the Bandar Tun Razak station.

The Bandar Tun Razak station was built on sloped terrain, designed with a single subsurface ticket area towards ''Bandar Tun Razak'' and a platform level below. The station has similar designs with Sri Petaling station. The platform level consists of two
