  The Hawaiʻi Housing Finance and Development Corporation (HHFDC) has selected two experienced homebuilding companies to master plan and develop up to 900 affordable rental and for-sale homes at one of the largest, remaining undeveloped properties in the Villages of Kapolei.

HHFDC’s Board of Directors on Thursday (March 14, 2024) voted unanimously to award developers ʻIkenakea Development LLC and The Michaels Organization a long-term lease for the 19.4-acre property at Farrington Highway and Fort Barrette Road. The property is next to the soon-to-be-opened Hawaiʻi State Veterans Hospital and across from the Kapolei Walmart.

The developers have named the new community Haku Kapolei — using the Hawaiian definition of “haku” as an intricate style of native Hawaiian lei-making — to describe its new, mixed-use community.

Except for two managers’ units, all rental units are aimed at households earning 30% to 60% of Oʻahu’s area median income (AMI) as set annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). All sales units are set aside for those earning 80% AMI to 140% AMI.
