Leadership

The Master-Plan Developer

The executive team of Puainako Heights consists of seasoned experts from various fields who bring over 60 years of collective experience in real estate development, community design, destination marketing, civil engineering, urban planning, project management and construction finance. In addition to the specialized knowledge brought by the management and board of advisors, the Puainako team also relies on its vast network of regional and international experts ranging from leading attorneys and financial consultants to architects and designers who are gifted with an understanding of what it means to live and work on the beautiful Hawaiian lands; aina.

We believe that the making of living spaces is an inter-disciplinary endeavor at the end of which the product comes to being as a representation of mastery in multiple fields of arts and science. In line with this principle, our managing team pursues a mission to serve the nature and the people of Hawai’i by conducting a multi-faceted development program that involves the transformation of a subdivision plan into a comfort-oriented and environment-conscious neighborhood where future generations would enjoy the many benefits of living a healthy life on the land they proudly own and call home.
