Exploring Pu‘uhona
A Gateway to a Vibrant Community
Pu‘uhona Homestead (previously known as Puʻunani), nestled within Maui’s Wailuku District, extends a warm aloha to the beneficiaries of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL). As the groundwork for the 161-residential project began in May 2023, Pu‘uhona anticipates the commencement of home construction by the late summer of 2024. This vibrant community, spread across approximately 47 acres, is envisioned to offer 137 turn-key single-family homes and 24 vacant improved lots.
