DEVELOPERS:
Charting Hawaii’s Course— Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow BY LEE SCHALLER
There are many developers in Hawaii today, some homegrown, others enticed here by what they consider “the last outpost” of development and potential profit. But “keiki o ka aina” or “malihini”, what do we know about their development history, their contributions to Hawaii’s unique lifestyle, economy and people? What do they point to with pride? What are their short and long-term plans? And perhaps most important of all, are we all on the same course?
28 | BUILDING INDUSTRY |MARCH 2013
Remembering Where We Came From In the beginning—at least for Hawaii’s early economic history— during the islands’ whaling days and burgeoning era when “sugar was king,” a small group of companies grew into a powerful force that oversaw and designed Hawaii’s development. Most of them had descended from missionary families and several of them shared not only corporate thinking, but also boards of directors, officers
and managers, which reinforced their combined strength and ensured their indelible stamp on Hawaii’s history. There were five companies in this power group, hence the name “Big Five”. They were:
Castle & Cooke, Alexander & Baldwin, C. Brewer, Amfac (originally Hackfield & Company) and Theo H. Davis. Their unparalleled influence on the economic and development scene lasted from the mid 1800s to the 1940s, although their impact was felt well beyond that time. What ultimately weakened their dominance was the organization of labor unions in the islands. That game-changing maneuver plus the devastating sugar strike in the mid 1940s followed by a reduction in the price of sugar, also played a part. And since the Big Five companies historically enjoyed a close alliance with Hawaii’s Republican Party, the unexpected ascent of Hawaii’s Democratic Party eventually lessened their clout. There is no “Big Five” in Hawaii today as a powerful conglomerate of companies and sometime partners, but their legend lives on in physical and economic reminders of their influence and contribution to our history and growth.

And Where We Are Today Two of the original “Big Five” companies still are very much in existence, albeit in an evolved and diversified form. Alexander & Baldwin (A&B) was created in 1870 by Samuel Thomas Alexander, a young man from Kauai and Henry Perrine Baldwin from Maui, who planted 539 acres of sugar on land they bought between Paia and Makawao on Maui. Today, A&B, in effect, still grows sugar cane on Maui and coffee on Kauai but also, through its subsidiary A&B Properties, Inc. is engaged in land stewardship, planning, entitlement, development and management of commercial properties and real estate development in Hawaii. The current portfolio includes nearly 8 million square feet of retail, office and industrial space comprising 45 properties in Hawaii and on the mainland as well as more than 88,000 acres of land, primarily on the islands of Maui and
A&B Properties’ Waihonua at Kewalu
Kauai. Much of the Maui acreage is farmed by Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company (HC&S) and on Kauai, McBryde Resources, Inc. leases a 4,000-acre coffee plantation to an international, vertically integrated coffee company. A&B takes its responsibilities as a land steward very seriously. Stanley Kuriyama, chairman and CEO of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc., says, “With respect to our landholdings, we are committed to ensuring that they are employed in the highest and best use, aligned with Hawaii’s long-term interests. Hawaii has been the home of A&B since 1870. The decisions we make today are guided by our long history and the belief that we will be here for generations to come.” Currently, A&B Properties is developing Waihonua at Kewalo, a 43-story, 341-unit fee simple residential high-rise estimated for completion in 2014-2015. Castle & Cooke is the only other member of the original group of developers who helped shape Hawaii’s early history that is still a major part of the current development scene. It was founded in Hawaii in 1851, when Samuel Northrup Castle and Amos Starr Cooke began their partnership by opening a general store in Hawaii. Harry Saunders, president and CEO of the iconic company, says, “Castle & Cooke Hawaii’s commitment to the Hawaiian Islands began more than 160 years ago. Over the decades, we Harry Saunders have diversified our business to include residential development, commercial real estate, renewable energy initiatives, visitor attractions and aviation. In 1968, we embarked on providing much-needed homes for Hawaii residents through our first residential community, Mililani. We have since expanded and built new communities including The Villages of Kapolei and Wai Kaloi in Makakilo. We believe there continues to be a great need for housing for our residents, not just today, but for our future generations—our children and grandchildren. The goal of our newest project, Koa Ridge, is to create a masterplanned community that will meet the future needs of our community, which includes creating new job opportunities though a commercial development and a medical center. As we continue with the city zoning process for Koa Ridge, it is our responsibility as a Hawaii builder to ensure that we incorporate the needs and values of our residents. We are not only building homes, we are building communities that will help shape the futures of our Hawaii families.” Updating us on the progress of Koa Ridge, Bruce Barrett, executive vice president-residential operations for Castle & Cooke, says, “In June 2012, we again received Urban District approval from the Land Use Commission (LUC) for Koa Ridge’s 3,500-unit master-planned community. This new petition was submitted due to appeals filed in the 2010 LUC approval. In December 2012, Castle & Cooke submitted its rezoning application to the city Department of Planning and Permitting. The application now goes before the Planning Commission and finally to the City Council.

QUICK FACT On June 29, 2012, A&B completed its previously announced plan to separate its land and transportation businesses into two stand-alone, publicly traded companies, Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. and Matson, Inc., explaining that the increased size, capabilities and financial strength of both the land and transportation companies currently enables the operations to independently execute their strategies to maximize shareholder value.
“We anticipate rezoning approval in the third quarter of this year (2013) with infrastructure construction beginning in 2014 and first home deliveries in 2015.” Castle & Cooke also is working on several new residential projects in West Oahu and Honolulu’s urban core. (Editor’s note: Watch for more details on this and other housing projects in Building Industry magazine’s June residential cover story.)
From a Legacy to a Legend Established by the will of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, last surviving heir of the Kamehameha dynasty, Kamehameha Schools began with the construction in 1887 of
the School for Boys on what are now the grounds of Honolulu’s Bishop Museum. The first buildings consisted of “the principal’s house, dining hall, dormitories one and two, kitchen, waterworks, laundry, bathhouse, storehouse, stable, water-closet and shop.” The cost? $37,722.68. The Kamehameha Preparatory Department for 6- to 12-year-old boys opened a year later in adjacent facilities and the School for Girls opened in 1894 on its own campus nearby. Eventually, the three schools moved to the present location at Kapalama and in 1965, the schools became co-ed. A year later Maui and Big island campuses were added. Today, Kamehameha Schools (KS) is Hawaii’s largest private landowner, with a total of 363,000 acres in its local portfolio. School properties include 31 preschool sites statewide, two neighbor island campuses and the Kapalama campus, which currently is in the midst of the Kamehameha Schools Kapalama Strategic Redevelopment Project. Nordic PCL Construction has completed three of the five projects under the $118.5 million contract with the remaining two phases slated for completion in 2014. As a landowner and major developer, KS currently has several active, recently completed and planned projects.
They include: •6 80 Ala Moana—this recently completed “adaptive reuse project” involved the conversion of a former office tower into 54 studio and one-bedroom rental apartments. Allied Builders System was general contractor. •6 60 Ala Moana—the site of the “Our Kakaako” Information Center is expected to open this month. •S ALT—groundbreaking for this 80,000-square-foot Kakaako retail village is expected in January 2014. “ In addition to these development projects,” says Erin Kinney, integrated strategies manager/community relations and communications for KS, “our efforts in Kakaako have been focused on curating young, local businesses whose owners are seeking a creative and collaborative community. Many of these new businesses are located on the future SALT block on Auahi Street between Coral and Keawe Streets. Kamehameha Schools also has teamed up with ‘Eat the Street’ organizer Poni Askew of Streetgrindz to host the monthly Honolulu Night Market, a food, fashion, art and music event.” •H aleiwa Store Lots—groundbreaking is expected in summer of 2013, with Matsumoto Shave Ice remaining open during construction.

Icons and Partnerships roject is estimated for completion by p July 2014. “KS received unanimous approval of its zone change applications for Haleiwa in October 2012,” Kinney tells us. “KS is committed to redeveloping this important property in a manner that is consistent with the community’s vision to preserve and enhance Haleiwa’s historic rural character, while revitalizing a highly visible and valued community asset which supports Kamehameha’s educational mission. The improvements are needed to strengthen aging infrastructure and increase pedestrian safety by moving customer queues away from Kamehameha Highway. The redevelopment also will include new landscaping that will separate pedestrians from vehicles, add 104 parking stalls and provide additional retail space. KS is concluding negotiations with several local businesses in categories including apparel, dining, gifts, convenience and coffee.” •K apalama Shopping Center— Pankow is general contractor on the recently begun renovations that Kinney tells us “will give the center a refreshed and inviting look, including new exterior fascia and walkways. The layout of the buildings remains the same and the center is open during renovations.”
Two major developers in Hawaii have formed a unique working partnership that has resulted in several noteworthy high-rise residential condos and commercial developments. The MacNaughton Group (TMG) and Kobayashi Group (KG) each have corporate roots that go back a long while and encompass many significant developments. TMG’s founding partner and chairman, Duncan MacNaughton’s professional and family background reads like a history book on Hawaii’s development. For example, his father, Boyd MacNaughton, was president of Dole Pineapple in the late 1930s and then became president of C. Brewer and Company. Duncan began his career as a trainee for the Dillingham Corporation, which had just finished phase one of Ala Moana Center. His association with the company provided the inspiration that led him to “explore different roles” and eventually to “finding my way to property development.” A 10-year partnership with developer Dick Cushman ended in 1985 but the professional relationship continued through the creation of Waikele Shopping Center, the success of which convinced him there was a growing demand for affordable retail— and led to the founding in 1989 of 34 | BUILDING INDUSTRY |MARCH 2013
The MacNaughton Group. TMG’s first accomplishment was bringing Costco to Hawaii. That first Costco was located on the Salt Lake Boulevard site now housing a Target store. Also introduced to the Hawaii market by TMG were retail giants Kmart, Office Max, Sports Authority, Pier 1 Imports and eventually Jamba Juice and Starbucks. In 2001, TMG and longtime Hawaii developer Kobayashi Group formed a joint venture called MK Development LLC. The partnership’s first project, in 2006, was Hokua, an upscale residential condominium that sold out in a single day and is still considered by many as the luxury high-rise condo by which all others are measured. “The background in this,” says Jeff Arce, partner and chief financial officer of TMG, “is that Mitch D’Olier (currently president and CEO of Kaneohe Ranch Co.) who was running Victoria Ward at the time, introduced us to the Kobayashi Group and asked us to work together to deliver a special residential experience for Ward. This turned out to be Hokua and our ‘arranged marriage’ with KG has proven to be very special and highly successful.” Hokua was followed by Capitol

Gov. Neil Abercrombie greets Stanford Carr at the groundbreaking ceremony for Halekauwila Place. Place condominium in 2008. The partnership also jointly developed Kapolei and Kona Commons shopping centers and, along with national developer of outlet centers Craig Realty, is progressing on The Outlets at Kapolei Commons. Recently, MK Development teamed up with the Howard Hughes Corporation to create ONE Ala Moana, a luxury residential high-rise above the Nordstom parking facility at Ala Moana Center that Arce expects to begin construc-
tion in June 2013 and be completed by the fall of 2014. What has been the most significant and impactful project to date? In the commercial area, Waikele Shopping Center, Duncan MacNaughton’s joint venture with Dick Gushman, and in the residential sector, Hokua, says Arce. “These projects set a new standard for real estate development.” What type of project not yet part of the portfolio, would TMG like to develop? “A senior living center.” Kobayashi Group, in its own right, has played a major role in Hawaii’s development and economic growth. Bert Kobayashi began his industry career at Albert C. Kobayashi (ACK) in 1962 when he left the University of Hawaii where he was a student, to run the company after his father became ill. After 31 years of increased success, he and other company shareholders sold ACK to the company’s employees and Kobayashi Development Group, (subsequently changed to Kobayashi Group) was founded. KG’s first project was Kakuhihewa, the Kapolei State Office Building. Other projects in KG’s multibillion-dollar Hawaii portfolio include the Kukio Golf and Beach Club, a private resort community on the Big Island; the ANdAZ Resort and Residences in Wailea, Maui, and project management of the University of Hawaii Cancer Research Center. KG also is a partner in the planning and redevelopment of Four Seasons Hualalai and Kona Village Resort. As previously mentioned, KG teamed up with TMG to develop the Hokua and Capitol Place highrise condos and create Kona and Kapolei Commons, both housing a Target store. Currently, KG is working with TMG

since its founding in 1990. In many conversations and interviews with Carr, it always comes down to the same point, “If we don’t do it, who will?” Explaining what he means by this, Carr, a Maui boy who learned farming at an early age, says, “We in Hawaii need to help each other as the generations before us have done, making sacrifices and persevering to make Hawaii a better place in which to live, with more opportunities for the future. As one of the most isolated islands in the world and being a relatively small market in comparison with many others, we are further challenged by bearing the costs to import most of what is necessary for our needs. This also increases the challenges of controlling costs and obtaining financing for rental housing. For example, we would not have been able to realize the construction of Halekauwila Place if not for HCDA and HFDC providing us with financial assistance in collaboration with PNC Bank and American Savings Bank in structuring the financing.” Halekauwila Place, a 19-story, 204-unit high-rise priced for families earning between $42,000 and $60,000 per year, recently broke ground and is under construction with Hawaiian Dredging as general contractor. In other projects, SCD ‘s Kehalani Village Center in Maui Lani is growing, with Arisumi Brothers beginning construction on a new Foodland store. And plans are progressing for Kahoma Village in Lahaina, a development of 204 single-family homes and multifamily condominiums. “We completed our EA and have submitted our 210-H application to the County for processing,” says Carr. “We hope to have approvals by the end of the year and commence construction.” When asked what he considers his most significant or fulfilling project, Carr says, “The Peninsula was a great project. I tried to buy the property (in Hawaii Kai) for five years and finally got the opportunity to purchase in August 2000 for $40 million

We broke ground in April 2001 and completed the last sale in June 2006, finishing 630 units on 43 acres. Designing and developing the Maili transitional housing project also was very special and gratifying. But the biggest accomplishment was Halekauwila Place. It’s the first time in 35 years that there has been a low income workforce rental project developed and financed with LIHTC and a HUD 221 d 4 loan for a highrise rental project in Honolulu’s urban core.” What would he like to develop that he has not already done? “A super block mixed-use project including a transit station.”

been developing communities and building homes in Hawaii since 1972 as Schuler Homes, founded by long-time Hawaii resident Jim Schuler, with Papakea in Kaanapali as the first development. In 2002, the company merged with Texasbased D.R. Horton, “combining Schuler’s local experience with D.R Horton’s national resources.” A major proponent of giving back, the company, together with the Schuler Family Foundation, each year gives generous charitable donations to local nonprofit organizations. As to current and future developments, “Our primary focus continues to be West Oahu,” says Mary Flood, vice president of sales and marketing, “with the master-planned communities of Seacountry at Maili, Mehana at Kapolei and our upcoming Hoopili development, which will be a major component in the completion of the ‘second city.’ ” • Seven years after establishing itself in the islands, Haseko developed the Kaanapali Shores resort condominium resort on Maui, followed by the Kauai Hilton. In 1997, ground was broken for the master-planned community of Ocean Point. Currently, development continues at the company’s premier neighborhood, Ka Makana at Hoakalei. “We continue to be optimistic about the future,” says Richard Dunn, executive vice president of Haseko, “especially as it relates to West Oahu.” An active community stewardship program provides millions of dollars for Ewa Beach infrastructure improvements as well as financial support for community organizations. • Gentry Homes has been creating residential communities, commercial and industrial developments in Hawaii for almost half a century.
