D.R. Horton gets OK for 11,750-home Hoopili project in West Oahu

D.R. Horton — Schuler Division’s rezoning request for its $4.6 billion, 11,750-home Hoopili master-planned community in West Oahu won unanimously approval Wednesday from the Honolulu City Council, a vice president for the developer confirmed to PBN.

The council voted 9-0 in favor of the Ewa development, said Cameron Nekota, vice president of D.R. Horton — Schuler Homes.

The Texas-based developer, which requested that the 1,289-acres of land be rezoned from agriculture to urban, already has received the approval for the zoning change from the state Land Use Commission.

D.R. Horton (NYSE: DHI) hopes to begin construction in 2016.

In the past couple of months, the developer donated five acres at Hoopili to the Hawaiian Humane Society for a second campus and another acre to the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center for a new clinic.

The project also is supposed to include a major solar energy farm.

Honolulu firms The MacNaughton Group, Kobayashi Group and BlackSand Capital are under contract to buy 33 acres of land near Hoopili, which could become a retail center, as first reported by PBN.

The companies are well-known developers of retail and residential projects in Hawaii.

Opponents of the master-planned community argue that it will take away prime agricultural lands and cause even more traffic jams along the already congested West Oahu corridor.

D.R. Horton gives five acres of Hoopili to Hawaiian Humane Society

By Leave a Comment

hawaiian-humane-societycameron-nekota-600D.R. Horton — Schuler Homes, the developer of the 11,750-home Hoopili project, has donated five acres from the West Oahu master-planned community to the Hawaiian Humane Society for a second campus, the organizations announced Tuesday.

The facility will be located at the corners of Old Fort Weaver and Fort Weaver Road, according to D.R. Horton Vice President Cameron Nekota.

Hawaiian Humane Society President and CEO Pamela Burns said that the nonprofit has been searching for a West Oahu location since 1999.

“It’s through the generosity of D.R. Horton that this is becoming reality for humans and animals that will be served in Hoopili and the entire community,” she said.

Talks with D.R. Horton (NYSE: DHI) began about five years ago, she said.

The new campus will have a staff of 25, and will serve about 200,000 Leeward residents and 16,000 animals. Services will include admissions, sterilization, lost and found, adoptions and a dog park.

The original 2.5 acre Moiliili campus, which employs 85 people and currently oversees 600 volunteers, will remain as the designated administrative office. An $8 million two-phase expansion and renovation has no set date for construction yet, Burns said Tuesday.

“This is one more step in creating a vision of a true second city in Kapolei,” Nekota said, noting that 74 percent of Leeward residents are pet owners.

More than 26,000 animals arrived at the Moiliili location last year. Sixteen thousand of those are expected to be served at the second campus.

The Hawaiian Humane Society is nearing the end of its $18 million capital campaign, about half of which has been dedicated to Moiliili, and an undisclosed amount will be spent on the West Oahu campus.

Burns said that there is no estimated opening date, and more details will be worked out in the next six to 12 months.

D.R. Horton — Schuler Homes LLC, told PBN that it plans to tentatively start construction on Hoopili sometime in 2016, but still needs approval from the City and County of Honolulu to change the zoning for the land from agricultural to urban.

D.R. Horton — Schuler Homes LLC plans to tentatively start construction on Hoopili, its 11,750-home master-planned community in Ewa in West Oahu, sometime in 2016, the head of the project told PBN.

Cameron Nekota, the vice president for D.R. Horton — Schuler Homes who is in charge of all of its real estate acquisition efforts as well as overseeing the Hoopili project, said that the developer hopes to start delivering homes to people sometime in 2017.

The Texas-based developer, which got the approval from the Hawaii Land Use Commission about two years ago to change the land designation from agricultural to urban, recently submitted its rezoning application to the City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Planning and Permitting.

The developer is seeking to rezone 1,289 acres of land. The department has 90 days from Aug. 1 to make a recommendation to the city’s Planning Commission, which would then put it on its agenda for a public hearing.

The Hoopili project, which is being designed by Honolulu-based Group 70 International, calls for 264 acres to be kept as agricultural lands that will be used for commercial agriculture, community gardens, open space and infrastructure.

In addition to single- and multi-family homes, Hoopili would also include commercial and light industrial space, community facilities, three elementary schools, one middle school, a high school, parks and open space, facilities and utilities.

Opponents of the master-planned community argue that it will take away prime agricultural lands and cause even more traffic jams along the already congested West Oahu corridor.

D.R. Horton — Schuler Homes LLC has submitted its application to the City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Planning and Permitting for the rezoning of 1,289 acres of agricultural land to urban for its 11,750-home master-planned community in Ewa in West Oahu called Hoopili.

The East Kapolei project, which is being designed by Honolulu-based Group 70 International, calls for 264 acres to be kept as agricultural lands that will be used for commercial agriculture, community gardens, open space and infrastructure.

Besides the single and multi-family homes, Hoopili also includes commercial and light industrial space, community facilities, three elementary schools, one middle school, a high school, parks and open space, facilities and utilities.

D.R. Horton (NYSE: DHI) hopes to start construction on the Hoopili project in 2015 and deliver the first homes shortly after.

About two years ago, the Hawaii Land Use Commission voted in favor of changing the land designation for Hoopili.

Opponents of the master-planned community argue that it will take away prime agricultural lands and cause even more traffic jams along the already congested West Oahu corridor.

Cameron Nekota, vice president for D.R. Horton — Schuler Homes, who is in charge of all of its real estate acquisition efforts, in addition to overseeing the Hoopili project, did not immediately return messages left by PBN.

D.R. Horton ‘flex’ homes in Hawaii allow work-life balance

Brian Smith opened his Pray Eat Love Cafe on the first floor of his "live-work" unit in the Nanala community of D.R. Horton's Mehana subdivision in Kapolei.

D.R. Horton ‘flex’ homes in Hawaii allow work-life balance

Apr 30, 2013, 2:41pm HST
Jenna Blakely  |  General Assignment Reporter- Pacific Business News

Flexible work hours and work-life balance — we hear those words a lot at Pacific Business News as companies of all industries in Hawaii say they are trying to adapt to those demands.

D.R. Horton — Schuler Division has been building homes for the past several years in its Mehana mixed-use master plan community in Kapolei that are designed to make work-life balance easier with “live-work units” where residents can run a business from home.

Brian Smith, an active-duty nurse with the U.S. Air Force, had envisioned opening his own business for the past five years.

“I talked with someone at D.R. Horton and things fell into place,” he said. “I live on the second and third floors and my shop is on the first floor.”

Smith opened the Pray Eat Love Cafe in February out of his Kapolei home at 533 Manawai St., which is one of 20 live-work units in the Nanala community within Mehana.

Smith has hired three part-time employees to staff the cafe, which is open Monday through Saturday for breakfast and lunch.

“Business has been tough at first, we’re deep in the community so people don’t know we’re back here,” he said. “But when people do come in, they love the place and we’re developing a nice clientele even beyond the neighborhood — we’re getting folks from further out.”

He named it Pray Eat Love to resemble his mission for the cafe.

“The place is set up for small groups and Bible study groups to gather, grow and learn from each other — ohana,” he said. “The eat portion is the sandwiches and drinks. A chef that lives behind us came over and helped me design the sandwiches. And the love portion is for charity; We pick one charity per month and at the end of the month we write them a check.”
D.R. Horton (NYSE: DHI) built more live-work units in its newest Mehana community called Awakea, which began sales in April. It consists of 115 townhomes with eight different floorplans, one of which features live-work units, or “flex homes.”

Additionally, 10 commercial condos averaging 500 square feet will be available for business use. In sum, Awakea will provide around 15,000 square feet of new business space, according to a statement.

“We only released eight townhomes so far and some were residential only,” said Sales Manager BJ Nagata of Awakea. “Three of those were live-work units and we sold those three.”
