SÓL Estate: An Exclusive Gated & Guarded Community in Kuching, Sarawak

SÓL Estate is a premier leasehold landed residential development located along Arang Road West in Batu Kawa, Kuching. This project is the first Malaysian venture by the Australian-based developer, Exal Group, bringing a unique, multi-generational living concept to Sarawak. Spanning 30-31 acres, the estate is designed as a gated and guarded sanctuary, featuring 269 bespoke homes to be developed across three phases. The first phase is scheduled for completion by December 2024.

Concept and Design

The design, a collaboration between Australian architectural firm DKO Architecture and landscape specialist Landart, incorporates passive design principles to optimize natural ventilation and sunlight. The development prioritizes green living, with 3 acres of the project dedicated to lush greenery, including plans for 800 trees. All homes come with a 10-year roof leak warranty.
