Calling All Builders: Opportunity at 221 Kihapai

If you’ve been waiting for a real opportunity in Kailua – one that almost always never shows up – 221 Kihapai is calling your name.

Tucked into a lush, tranquil pocket of town, this property offers that rare mix builders dream about: location, flexibility, and momentum already in place. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a visionary ready to create something special, this is a canvas worth your attention.

A Rare Build Opportunity in the Heart of Kailua

Kailua isn’t exactly known for build-ready opportunities. That’s what makes 221 Kihapai stand out. Here, you have the ability to build one, two, or even three units, giving you flexibility to match your vision—whether that’s a single custom retreat, a multi-generational compound, or a smart investment build.

Even better? Unit C already has infrastructure in place and a permit, meaning a significant amount of the heavy lifting has been done. In a market where time, approvals, and uncertainty can slow everything down, this head start is pure gold.

Infrastructure + Permit = Momentum

Anyone who has built in Kailua knows the true value of existing groundwork. With most of the infrastructure installed and a permit secured on Unit C, you’re not starting from scratch—you’re starting from progress. That can mean fewer hurdles, less waiting, and a clearer path from vision to reality.

It’s the kind of advantage that can shave months (and stress) off the build process.

A Setting That Feels Almost Unreal

What truly elevates 221 Kihapai is its setting.

Behind the build potential lies a scene that feels straight out of a daydream: the majestic Koʻolau mountains rising in the distance, tradewinds whispering through the trees, and the gentle presence of Maunawili Stream nearby. It’s peaceful, grounding, and unmistakably Windward Oʻahu.

This is the kind of environment where homes don’t just sit on land—they belong to it.

Build What the Land Is Asking For

Opportunities like this don’t come around often in Kailua:

  • Build 1, 2, or 3 units
  • Infrastructure and permit already in place on Unit C
  • A serene Koʻolau and Maunawili Stream backdrop
  • Prime Kailua location with long-term value

Whether you’re building to live, to invest, or to leave a legacy, 221 Kihapai offers the rare chance to create something meaningful in one of Oʻahu’s most beloved communities.

Calling all builders—this is the one you’ve been waiting for.
