300 new rental homes to address growing housing demand in West O‘ahu

KAPOLEI, Hawai‘i (November 14, 2025) – The James Campbell Company celebrated the groundbreaking of its newest residential development in Kapolei, marking a major milestone in expanding housing opportunities for West O‘ahu families. The $170 million project will deliver 300 rental homes, helping meet the island’s urgent need for attainable housing.

Located at the corner of Kamaʻaha Avenue and Manawai Street, across from Kapolei Regional Park, the development will feature five stories of modern residences built around a six-story structured parking garage on a 2.7-acre site. Construction is underway and completion is expected in 2027.

“This project is about more than new construction. It is an investment in people, in community, and in the future of West O’ahu,” said Kevin Penn, president and CEO of the James Campbell Company. “In our 160-year history, this is a historic moment for the James Campbell Company. What’s unique about this project is that we will develop and keep this housing project as part of our long-term portfolio for decades to come. As stewards of this land, we have been thoughtfully managing it for generations and want to ensure we are continue to serve the people of this community.”

The development is part of James Campbell Company’s ongoing commitment to fostering vibrant, enduring communities across Hawai‘i. For decades, the company has played a foundational role in the evolution of Kapolei from agricultural land into a thriving urban center for living, working, and recreation.

“This project reflects our deep, ongoing commitment to building communities that meet Hawai‘i’s real housing needs,” continued Penn. “Every element of this development was created with the community in mind—from its walkable design to its access to parking, schools, and jobs. This project represents another step in our shared kuleana to meet Hawaii’s housing needs and to create opportunities that allow West O‘ahu families to build their futures right here at home.”
