Hale Makana O Maili (HMoM) will consist of 52 one, two, and three bedroom units in 6 buildings spread across 1.95 acres in the ili of Maili in the district of Wai’anae just steps away from the beautiful white sands of Maili Beach Park. This Public-Private Partnership with the State of Hawaii, City and County of Honolulu, Pacific Development Group, Hawaiian Community Development Board, and 3 Leaf Holdings will provide much-needed, long-term affordable rental homes to the Waianae Coast communities.

The units are reserved for individuals and families with 30%, 50% or 60% Area Median Income (AMI) and below with quality affordable housing options where they can feel secure and proud of their home and will remain affordable for perpetuity.

The project team designed the project to meet LEED for Homes Silver Certification. Utilizing less energy and less water, LEED-certified spaces save money for residents, reduce carbon emissions and contribute to a healthier environment for the residents and neighborhood. The renovation program will create over 100 construction jobs and will consist of low-E windows, low VOC paints and sealers, super-efficient lighting and electrical systems, water saving faucets and toilets, energy efficient appliances, solar thermal hot water systems, solar photovoltaic, and cool roofs to reflect heat away from interior spaces. Community spaces will include a 2400+ square foot resource center which will provide residents with a variety of useful spaces, including a library and computer center, multi-purpose rooms, prep kitchen and laundry facilities. Additionally, the center will include a reception and lounge, a manager’s office, storage spaces, a restroom, a covered waiting area. A minimum of 5,720 sq. ft. of park space between the buildings will be dedicated to open space for picnic areas, play areas for the keiki, and a tot lot. Custom designed and fabricated signage and hand painted murals will be found throughout the project. Completion of construction is expected in November 2020.
