HG Capital Acquires 54 Acres in Hawaii's Fastest Growing Region
HG Capital, in joint venture with Lokahi Ventures and RSF Partners, acquires 54 acres of industrial-zoned land in Kapolei on Oahu, Hawaii.
Menlo Park, CA (PRWEB) September 20, 2005 -- HG Capital, LLC (HG) is the lead investor in a joint venture with Lokahi Ventures and RSF Partners that has acquired 54 acres of industrial-zoned land in the Kapolei Business Park on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii. After the property has been subdivided and the infrastructure put in place, approximately 60 industrial lots will be sold to users and developers. HG Capital invested approximately $7m in the $23m transaction that closed with a land loan from the Bank of Hawaii.
A 32,000-acre master-planned city on the island of Oahu, Kapolei is the fastest growing region in Hawaii. The Kapolei Business Park is approximately 20 miles west of downtown Honolulu, adjacent to the Kalaeloa/Barbers Point Harbor and the James Campbell Industrial Park. Due to the region's strong growth and the overall shortage of available industrial-zoned land in Hawaii, the Honolulu submarket has an exceptionally low vacancy rate of approximately 1.7% for industrial space.
Kapolei Business Park is one of the last industrial park alternatives expected in the near future on Oahu. The lots will be sold on a fee-simple basis, making it more attractive than other properties that may be available only as leaseholds, as is common on the Islands. The project sponsor's extensive experience and success operating in Hawaii and in the industrial sector, the Honolulu market's strong growth rate and tight supply of available land, and the attractive land basis make this an exciting investment.
Scott Mitchell and Guy Kidder from the Honolulu office of Colliers Monroe Friedlander (www.colliershawaii.com) were the brokers for the transaction.
