Kaulu by Gentry

Kaulu by Gentry will be developed by Gentry Homes, a reputable real estate development company that has built over 14,000 quality homes in Hawaii. In the process of acquiring the land in Kalaeloa, Gentry Homes engaged with local kupuna to assist with the naming of Kaulu. The name was inspired by the ulu tree, which was one of the first trees brought to Hawaii. Kaulu will consist of 390 new homes and sell via lotteries. The first increment of homes are anticipated to sell later this year in August or September with closings in November. The entire project will be completed by late 2026.

As of April 2023, construction has begun, however, pricing, amenities, and market-priced floor plans have not been released yet. Register below to stay updated.

The Residences

The homes at Kaulu by Gentry will feature a unique blend of plantation and craftsman style architecture, with various exterior color schemes to choose from. Each home will come with an enclosed garage and full-size parking spaces, ensuring residents will have plenty of space for their vehicles.

The multi-family buildings will feature four-sided architecture with attractive elements visible from all angles, making them stand out and blend in with the overall design of the community.

Similar to other real estate developments by Gentry, you can expect a high level of quality constructed homes built with increased energy efficiency and sustainability.

Planned Phasing

The homes will be sold in 8 increments with each increment taking roughly 4 to 6 months. Each increment will have 2 to 7 phases. See the map below to get an idea of how the releases will be planned.

Reserved Housing

Reserved housing units will have a streamlined application process and lower down payment deposits. It's expected that buyers will be able move-in within 5 months after purchase and put a down-payment as low as $1,500.

All affordable units will have access to the same amenities offered to all residents, plus they come with the same quality and finishes as the market-priced homes, however, they will be slightly smaller. The 2-bedroom units will have around 877 sqft of living space and a 355 sqft garage while 3-bedroom units will have 1,084 sqft of living area and a 306 sqft garage. Maintenance fees will range from low $300s to around $400 per month.

Gentry Homes has also partnered with non-profit organizations to provide down payment assistance and home buyer education programs.
