The Development of Kapolei

Oahu's growth is primarily happening in the Ewa Plain area and in Kapolei, which means that buying in Kapolei may be a great long term investment. While most of Oahu consists of buildings the were built in the 1960's and 70's, Kapolei was almost entirely constructed after 1985, and continues to grow to this day. In fact, in 2007 the city and county of Honolulu began constructing a new courthouse in Kapolei, which will greatly change the economy and industry of the city, not to mention the traffic flow.

Recently some major new road construction has begun in Kapolei, including a much needed additional freeway on-ramp. The state and city governments and some of Hawaii's largest companies have set up major operations in Kapolei, and more construction is on the way. There are several mainland companies that are planning to build in Kapolei as well, and Oahu's first Target store just opened in Kapolei in March 2009.
