EXAL Malaysia Celebrates Successful Handover of Phase 1 at SÓL Estate, Pioneering Sustainable Community Living

17 September 2025

KUALA LUMPUR: The second half of the year has commenced with momentum for EXAL Malaysia, as they announce the successful completion and handover of Phase 1 at SÓL Estate. This marks a significant milestone in redefining community living standards in Sarawak, with the development tailored to meet the evolving needs of millennial buyers.

SÓL Estate is conceived around principles of flexibility, eco-conscious living, and community engagement, offering thoughtfully designed, sustainable homes that align with the aspirations of a new generation of homeowners. Recognising that millennials constitute 25% of Malaysia’s population and continue to drive a 23.8% surge in property transaction values in the first half of 2024, the estate addresses their unique demands, prioritising sustainability, lifestyle, and long-term value.

Designed to embody sustainability as a core principle of livability, SÓL Estate integrates eco-friendly infrastructure with lifestyle conveniences within a self-sustaining, self-contained community. Phase 1 comprises 74 units featuring eco-conscious architecture, passive design strategies, flexible living spaces, and smart home technologies. Each residence is optimised for solar efficiency and natural cross-ventilation, reducing energy reliance while maintaining thermal comfort. The design also fosters a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor environments, promoting openness and harmony with nature.

The homes feature open-plan layouts adaptable across different life stages, with solar-ready infrastructure and electric vehicle (EV) charging capabilities, combining sustainability with sleek, modern aesthetics. Shared amenities include green communal areas and wellness spaces that nurture social interaction and tranquil retreats, fostering a strong sense of community and balance. Additional infrastructure, such as detention ponds, elevated roads, and increased foundation resilience, addresses flood risks and enhances structural durability.

Beyond physical developments, EXAL Malaysia has prioritised a holistic experience throughout the handover process. From Qlassic quality assurance checks to pre-handover orientations, buyers are welcomed with professionalism and care. Their recent Qlassic score of 84% underscores the company’s unwavering commitment to exceptional quality. To ensure long-term maintenance standards, Knight Frank Property Management has been appointed to oversee the estate’s upkeep, safeguarding property values and resident satisfaction.

“SÓL Estate was built not just as a place to live, but as a community to belong to,” said Albert Ko, Managing Director of EXAL Malaysia. “We are honoured to welcome our new homeowners into a space crafted with their values, ambitions, and wellbeing at its heart.”

This development exemplifies EXAL’s broader commitment to sustainable living and smart city innovation. In partnership with Solarvest and GreenRE, the company has integrated environmentally certified solutions across its projects — from renewable energy features and passive solar design to eco-friendly construction materials. As a key contributor to the Kuching Smart City Master Plan, EXAL Malaysia aims to redefine modern neighbourhoods through intelligent infrastructure and environmentally conscious practices.

With millennials seeking homes that reflect their commitment to wellness, flexibility, and reducing their carbon footprint, EXAL continues to deliver pioneering solutions that resonate with contemporary lifestyles. The successful handover of Phase 1 paves the way for future expansion of SÓL Estate, with upcoming phases promising enhanced features and more personalised living experiences. EXAL Malaysia remains dedicated to creating adaptable, aspirational homes that evolve alongside their owners, supporting them in building a sustainable and connected community.
