Honolulu: 66 new homes to be built in Waipahu

August 1, 2005

Plans for the new Waipi’o Point project presented by developer Castle and Cooke before the neighborhood board would create new homes on a site adjacent to the Waipahu High School. The old Brown estate consisting of 13.2 acres purchased from the Queen Emma Foundation would be the site for the sixty-six new home subdivision.

The average lot size for these homes will be about 5,000 square feet and the style of the homes should be not unlike those of Castle and Cooke’s Renaissance project. Steel framed construction will be used as well as central air conditioning. Square footage of the homes will range from 1,3250 to 2,400 along with a front porch and rear lanai in most of the models.

The average price for the homes will be around $550,000 fee simple. Castle and Cooke will have a lottery in February 2006 and the homes should be available to move into next summer.
