Abstract: In this article we consider solvable hypersurfaces of the form $Nexp(RH)$ with induced metrics in the symmetric space $M=SL(3,C)/SU(3)$, where $H$ a suitable unit length vector in the subgroup $A$ of the Iwasawa decomposition $SL(3,C)=NAK$. Since $M$ is rank $2$, $A$ is $2$-dimensional and we can parametrize these hypersurfaces via an angle $alphain[0,pi/2]$ determining the direction of $H$. We show that one of the hypersurfaces (corresponding to $alpha=0$) is minimally embedded and isometric to the non-symmetric $7$-dimensional Damek-Ricci space. We also provide an explicit formula for the Ricci curvature of these hypersurfaces and show that all hypersurfaces for $alphain(0,fracpi2]$ admit planes of both negative and positive sectional curvature. Moreover, the symmetric space $M$ admits a minimal foliation with all leaves isometric to the non-symmetric $7$-dimensional Damek-Ricci space.
