Hawaii

Overview

Hawaii’s real estate market offers a unique mix of scarcity, long-term value retention, and global investor interest. With limited land supply and high demand for residential, resort, and logistics properties, the islands are attractive for select institutional strategies that prioritize preservation of capital, steady income, and irreplaceable locations.

Honolulu anchors the state’s activity, supported by tourism, military, and healthcare demand. Neighboring islands offer boutique development potential and luxury repositioning. Hawaii is well-positioned for GP and co-GP joint ventures, capital markets advisory, and third-party asset management—particularly in high-barrier, lifestyle-driven sectors.
