We are pleased to announce that Kokua Realty, a leading commercial real estate firm in Hawai‘i, has been appointed as the exclusive leasing agent for the transformation of the 38,000 SF retail center at 1310 South Kihei Road, Kihei, Maui. This significant assignment represents the Landlord, an O‘ahu-based private equity firm, entrusting Kokua Realty’s local expertise and market knowledge to guide the redevelopment of this prime property.
Location & Opportunity
Located at the vibrant intersection of South Kihei Road and Lipoa Street in Kihei, the site occupies a highly visible and accessible corner of the island’s primary retail corridor. The property has long been home to the Times Supermarket (Kihei store) at 1310 South Kihei Road. According to listing information, the space offers 28,000 to 38,915 SF of anchor-type retail space, with ample parking and strong surrounding demographics. The trade area includes more than 37,000 residents within five miles and over 2.3 million annual visitors to Maui—a compelling backdrop for retail investment.
Redevelopment Vision
“Kihei is one of the fastest-growing retail markets in Hawai‘i, driven by both resident growth and robust visitor counts,” said Keoni Fursse, CCIM and CEO of Kokua Realty. “This site on South Kihei Road is a unique redevelopment opportunity … its proximity to a large daytime resident and tourist population makes this a prime destination retail center.” The Landlord’s plan is to revitalize and reposition the center into a Class “A” retail destination, leveraging the location’s high traffic counts, visibility, and retail synergy. The listing highlights a multi-million-dollar renovation including new façades, signage, and new tenant spaces delivered in “gray box” condition.
What This Means for Tenants
For retailers, restaurant operators, and brands looking for a gateway into South Maui’s retail marketplace, this redevelopment represents a rare opportunity:
- Anchor-scale space with strong retail build-out opportunity
- Exposure to both local residents and the high-tourist count market
- Access to one of Kihei’s most prominent retail intersections
Kokua Realty, with lead leasing agents Keoni Fursse and Brian Rose, R (S), representing the Landlord, will manage the leasing process and tenant mix strategy.
What’s Next
Kokua Realty is now marketing the property, with availability beginning in 2026 according to the listing. Prospective tenants and brokers are encouraged to contact the leasing team to discuss anchor and satellite opportunities as the revitalization progresses.
