Kailua Real Estate | Kailua Town Condo Sales 2013 (First Half)

Kailua Real Estate - Kailua Town Neighborhood - 2013 Sold Homes

Kailua condominiums in the Kailua Town neighborhood of Kailua sold like hotcakes in the first half of the year. In fact, this neighborhood probably had the lowest days on the market of all neighborhoods in Kailua. Investors and owner occupants alike are scramblng to purchase a Kailua condo while they are still relatively affordable. Now that Kailua single family homes have for the most part crossed above the $650K threshold, for even some of the smallest better-condition homes, condos are still a good option.  Can’t wait to see what happens with the Ka Malanai condos when they finally come to market!

Kailua Commercial Real Estate to be Sold by Kaneohe Ranch and Castle Foundation

Kailua commercial real estate may never again be the same, since the Harold K.L. Castle Foundation is now selling its commercial real estate portfolio which is managed by Kanoehe Ranch.  These Kailua real estate holdings were recently put on the market, according to the Pacific Business News, this morning.

They did not say what the offer price for the Kailua real estate is, but it is my estimation that Kaneohe Ranch’s Kailua real estate holdings include about 3/4 of all Kailua commercial real estate, so the price will be in the hundreds of millions, or even a billion dollars.  The Castle Foundation owns interests in the Kailua commercial real estate in downtown Kailua shopping centers where Whole Foods, Safeway, Foodland, Long’s Drugs, Macy’s and Times Market are located, among other areas and major tenants. The Kaneohe Ranch portfolio also includes interests in some Kaneohe, Honolulu and Mainland locations.

The effect on its Kailua tenants and the future development of Kailua Town, in general, remains to be seen. Kaneohe Ranch has been progressively tearing down and rebuilding, and refurbishing commercial buildings in Kailua with an overall goal of creating a walkable, pedestrian, and community friendly Kailua Downtown Plan.

Earlier this year, Kaneohe Ranch also closed on the sale of over 67 acres in the Hamakua Hillside and Marsh to the State of Hawaii, as part of its wetland and watershed protection, endangered species protection, open space preservation, and public education and recreation efforts.  In 2011 Target Corporation bought a large parcel of the Castle/Kaneohe Ranch property for development of a Kailua store for $22.5M.

Kailua Real Estate | Historic Kailua Properties on Hawaii Historical Register

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love old, historic homes. I thought I would list for you the historic Kailua real estate and other Windward historic homes that are dedicated to public interest and preservation. Except, as noted, these Kailua homes are on the State Register of Historic Places and are allowed a drastically reduced property tax, provided that the homes (exterior) are open to public viewing.  If the homes are not easily seen from the public right of way, they are subject to Alternate Visual Visitation (AVV) on the second Saturday of every month, where the owners must afford the public an opportunity for viewing the homes (i.e., open the gates, allow a drive up the private road, etc.)

PLEASE NOTE:
THESE KAILUA HISTORIC HOMES ARE NOT CURRENTLY FOR SALE
