A&B And DMB Sell Kukui`ula Residential Project On Kaua`i
HONOLULU, Nov. 12, 2021
HONOLULU, Nov. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (NYSE:ALEX) ("A&B" or "Company") today announced it has sold its Kukui`ula residential development on the island of Kaua`i (the "Project"). A&B and its development partner, DMB Development, LLC of Scottsdale, AZ ("DMB"), completed the sale to Denver-based Brue Baukol Capital Partners ("BBCP") today. BBCP now assumes the role of master developer of the community.
A&B and DMB (collectively the "Partners") formed a partnership in 2002 for purposes of planning and developing the 1,000-acre resort community on Kaua`i’s south shore. Construction began in 2006 and the community today is thriving, with more than 280 lots sold and more than 125 homes completed. The Partners pursued a sale of the Project largely because of A&B’s strategic decision to focus its business model on commercial real estate. A comprehensive marketing process began earlier this year and led to the selection of BBCP as the buyer and new developer.
"A&B and DMB have partnered for nearly 20 years in pursuit of our shared vision for Kukui`ula. We are proud of the vibrant community we have created and thankful to our more than 200 Kukui`ula employees for their help in creating such a special place," said A&B CEO Chris Benjamin. "A&B has significant continuing interests on Kaua`i, including ownership of the adjacent Shops at Kukui`ula retail center, and will remain committed to the well-being of Kaua`i’s communities. The sale of Kukui`ula is an important step forward in the simplification of A&B’s business model and positions us to expand our Hawai`i commercial real estate portfolio."
"From our first visit to Kukui`ula in 2002, we understood what a unique place it is. Through our partnership with A&B and the dedication of our employees and members, we are proud to have created a community that properly reflects the warm spirit and natural beauty of Kaua`i," said DMB Chairman Drew Brown. "We are pleased to have found a respected developer in Brue Baukol Capital Partners to steward the Project from this point forward."
