2023 seemed like a busy year for new developments, but as we looked back to review the releases and announcements, there wasn't as much action as we expected.

According to our recap below, the majority of new developments or new homes released were located in Ewa Beach. This was also inline with the resale market - based on HiCentralMLS's market report, properties priced below $700k saw an increase of over 10% in 2023, while higher price points saw a large decrease. With that being said, it appears that real estate developers with projects priced closer to the median sales price are either waiting for the market to shift or they're still going through the long approval process. The latter might be more realistic especially since most of the affordable housing projects have been expedited via the Governor's emergency proclamation.

Moving Forward

As for 2024, there are 2 projects that we're focused on - The Launiu and Malu Koa West.

Launiu Ward Village release soon

The Launiu offers studios, 1-, 2-, and 3-bedrooms. It's the last Ward Village development on the front row that will be priced in a reasonable range for its location and amenities. New renderings of the development were released via 3 architectural media outlets, and you can see them on our Launiu page. We expect its public release in February, however, we're able to get in you the door before that. Contact Shay at (808) 398-7429 if you're interested.

Malu Koa West release soon

Malu Koa West has a unit mix of studios, 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units as well, except it's located in Waipio near to Costco. The project was originally supposed to go on sale in May of 2023, but has been pushed back and is expected to release in 2024. A few recent changes to Malu Koa West include:
