Here is bird-seye view of the Pi’ikea Avenue construction site, where the new housing development, Hale O’ Pi’ikea, is under construction. What used to be a wetlands is being developed into an affordable housing complex. While Maui is experiencing a housing crisis, building on Kihei’s remaining wetland areas is an environmental concern.

According to Maui Now, “Hale O Pi‘ikea III will introduce a mix of one-, two-, and three- bedroom housing options for low-income families earning up to 30%, 40%, and 60% of the Area Median Income. Phase III adds 35 affordable rental homes and one exempt manager’s unit to its 187 units that are already under construction, offering a total of 223 affordable homes for families and seniors who make a range of incomes.”
