EXAL Group — a property developer from Western Australia — has officially unveiled its fabulous new Show Village for its residential development, SÓL Estate. The 31-acre spanning development notably represents the group’s first foray into the Malaysian market, marking a significant milestone for EXAL. 

The event — titled A Blossoming SÓL — took place at SÓL Estate itself on Jalan Batu Kawa in Kuching on 17 February 2024, coinciding with EXAL’s Chinese New Year celebrations. The Show Village comprises two show units: the double-storey duplex and double-storey courtyard home, both open for public viewing as EXAL prepares for its Phase 2 bookings for potential home buyers. Notably, the completed show unit is actually the first in Sarawak to obtain full GreenRE certification.

“We’ve been absolutely thrilled with the interest and uptake for SÓL Estate so far,” Albert Ko, managing director of EXAL Malaysia, says. “As a Kuching boy myself, it’s been heartwarming to see the enthusiasm the community has shown so far for this bespoke, tranquil, and sustainable living experience.”

The 300 visitors to the event had the opportunity to celebrate the SÓL Estate lifestyle in the Show Village, with the outdoor community areas filled with the community mingling and getting to know one another, as well as the merriment of lion dances. Notable figures who visited the show village before and attended during the launch included Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman Tan Kai, RHB Bank Malaysia’s Group Managing Director & CEO Mohd Rashid Bin Mohammad, Sheraton Hotel Kuching owner Tan Sri Yee Ming Seng, and RHB Bank Sarawak's Geraldine Kho.

SÓL Estate offers a blend of modern and functional living, with contemporary interior styling and a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. Phase 1’s courtyard homes are already fully sold, with only 4 units of duplex homes remaining — and the upcoming Phase 2 will be the only phase left in which to acquire courtyard homes. 

EXAL also worked alongside leading property solutions company, The Makeover Guys, as creative and brand consultants, as well as regionally renowned architecture firm, DKO Architecture, and landscape specialist, Landart, to put the bespoke development together.

“SÓL Estate is the first of its kind in Sarawak to use such forward thinking design while championing inclusivity and fostering connections across generations. It is clear that EXAL knows precisely what their target customers want and are willing to pay for,” says Shirley Leo, Agency Leader of PropNex Sarawak. 

“When Albert approached me, I was impressed by his dedication to creating spaces that prioritise community well-being," adds Geraldine Kho, Head of Commercial Banking at RHB Banking Group. “His emphasis on understanding the needs of residents, coupled with insightful market analysis like the 'property clock,' has proven invaluable – clearly reflected in the overwhelming response to the project! Bringing a focus on Australian super luxe home designs and conceivable home comforts to this project has also proven to have been instrumental in its success.” 

The sheer variety of amenities — ranging from an orchard forest to a street basketball court to a  hilly play yard for children and much more — is clearly designed to cater to the diverse needs of residents of all ages, promoting health, leisure, and a strong sense of community connectivity from dawn to dusk.

Interested buyers can place a booking fee now to secure their desired unit, with the SÓL Estate Show Village open for viewing every Monday to Sunday. For more details, contact the SÓL Estate sales management team at +6018 312 8899, and to learn more about EXAL Group, visit www.exal.co.
