What happened
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs and the state Department of Hawaiian Home Lands signed a tentative agreement to develop high-rise housing in Kakaako Makai, Honolulu. The plan involves building two towers and approximately 450 homes on a 3.3-acre lot. OHA intends to convey ownership of the undeveloped lot to support the project.

Why it matters
The partnership aims to produce homes for Department of Hawaiian Home Lands beneficiaries. This initiative is notable because it proceeds despite a 20-year-old state law that previously prohibited high-rise use on the land.
