Even though Kapolei is officially a part of the City and County of
Honolulu, it has been designated as Oahu's unofficial "second city".
Translated from the Hawaiian phrase "Pu'u o Kapolei" meaning "hill"
(pu'u) and "beloved Kapo" (kapo lei), the sister of Pele, Kapolei sits
on the edge of the Leeward Coast and Oahu's southeast shore overlooked
by the Waianae Mountains. The community's home amidst the natural
beauty of the Waianae Range southern foothills prompted construction
of new neighborhoods with Kapolei condominiums, homes, community
centers, and healthcare and educational facilities in the late 1980s.
In order to create a self-sufficient community, commercial
developments followed shortly thereafter. Today, the city is the site
of the largest continuing development on the island and as a result
has made way for State and County government offices, large shopping
and entertainment centers, and a budding tourism industry with such
attractions as the Hawaiian Adventures Waterpark.
As the community creates the necessary infrastructure to become the
second largest urban area on Oahu, many Kapolei condo and homeowners
continue to make the commute to Honolulu for its rich employment
industry. In recent years, state, county, and city planning
officials have focused efforts on relieving traffic congestion between
the two metropolitan areas while furthering Kapolei's job and business
opportunities in the tourist industry with the emergence of such
projects as Oahu's south shore ferry connecting Kapolei with downtown
Honolulu and Waikiki.
The older developed communities of Makikilo and Ko Olina, the resort
area formerly known as West Beach, have become associated with Kapolei
as it has grown. Makakilo condominiums and homes sit atop a hill
above Kapolei, making them prime retirement spaces for those seeking
quality vistas at affordable prices. Ko Olina condominiums and homes
rest near the Pacific Ocean on Kapolei's west side and are more often
owned by seasonal inhabitants, such as tourists and "snow birds".
The communities and natural beauties surrounding Kapolei have proven
to be incentives for future development, however, Hawaiian officials'
plans to form Oahu's "second city" has been the main driving force for
the rise in condominium and home investment. Despite investors
playing a large role in the area's growth, said officials continue to
incorporate the creation of affordable Kapolei condos and homes into
the area's overall development plan which has effectively attracted a
diverse population of condo and homeowners to the area. |
