Hawaiian Homes Begins Largest Project in History of Trust

HONOLULU - The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) has issued an Invitation-For-Bids (IFB) for the East Kapolei 1 Mass Grading project, the largest residential housing development in the history of the Hawaiian Homes Trust. The project calls for the mass grading of a 96.83-acre parcel that will include a 403-lot subdivision, the future site of the DHHL offices, and the extension of Kapolei Parkway to connect with the future North / South Road.

"East Kapolei 1 is our largest housing project to date, and we believe is a key component to the region," said Micah Kane, Chairman of the Hawaiian Homes Commission. "This opens the door for the Kapolei Parkway extension and the development of the North/South Road. With our project, we can begin bringing in the infrastructure that will support better traffic management, our commercial properties in the area, and the University of Hawaii's West Oahu Campus."

"The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands is a great catalyst for the area," said Governor Linda Lingle. "The entire community will benefit through this affordable housing project."
