#Hale O Piʻikea

ʻIkenākea Development has opened Hale O Piʻikea, a three-phase affordable rental community in Kīhei delivering 223 new homes for Maui families, individuals and kūpuna. Representing $141 million total cost, the project is one of the largest and most significant affordable housing developments completed on Maui in recent years.

The Maui County Council’s Housing and Land Use Committee conducted a preliminary review last week of the Department of Housing in preparation for the Council’s annual budget deliberations.

Applications are now being accepted for Hale O Piʻikea I, the first phase of a County-supported, three-phase affordable rental housing initiative by ʻIkenākea Development that will deliver 223 rental homes upon completion. 

The County of Maui Department of Housing announced the release of its Fiscal Year 2026 Affordable Housing Fund Annual Plan, which outlines key investments and initiatives designed to address the growing demand for affordable housing across Maui County.

Hunt Capital Partners announced work on the final phase of the Hale O Pi‘ikea affordable housing development in South Maui. Located in Kīhei, Hale O Pi‘ikea III will introduce a mix of one-, two-, and three- bedroom housing options for low-income families earning up to 30%, 40%, and 60% of the Area Median Income. Phase III adds 35 affordable rental homes and one exempt manager’s unit to its 187 units that are already under construction, offering a total of 223 affordable homes for families and seniors who make a range of incomes. 

The Hawaiʻi Housing Finance & Development Corp. Board of Directors approved last month a proposed public acquisition of the Front Street Apartments destroyed in the Aug. 8-9, 2023, Lahaina wildfire disaster, although there was some uncertainty about rebuilding in the burn zone.

A groundbreaking and blessing ceremony was held Thursday morning for Hale O Piʻikea, a new 223-unit affordable rental housing development in Kīhei.

Funding has been secured for the third and final phase of the Hale O Piʻikea affordable, mixed-use rental housing community in Kīhei. The 223-unit development aims to provide quality, affordable housing options for individuals and families at or below 60% of the Area Median Income.
