A&B's  W A I L E A    R E S O R T   DEVELOPMENT

Alexander & Baldwin's Wailea Resort

Background History (from Wailea Resort Association website) 
During WWII the Wailea shores became a training area for the Marines in the  Pacific Theater. The Beach now known as Ulua was named Little Tarawa by the   Marines who were training for an amphibious landing on the island of Tarawa.  After the war Matson Navigation Company looked to expand their hotel  operations to Maui and purchased the 1,500 acres of scrubland at  Wailea in 1957.  Nothing happened until Alexander & Baldwin gained a  controlling interest in  Matson in 1964 and eventually full ownership in 1969. 

A&B began studying the potential of the land and in 1971 partnered with  Northwest Mutual Life Insurance  Company of Milwaukee to create the Wailea  Development Company and begin  developing a residential resort  community.

The 1,500-acre Wailea Resort was conceived as an integrated residential resort community. The concept was called a "Planned Unit  Development," which gave the developers greater flexibility in planning, 
 relieved the County government of some long-term obligations and some short  term  costs, and provided the future owners with a wide range of housing diversity. Commercial properties and recreational amenities, such as golf and  tennis, were also included in the extensive resort planning. The  Wailea  Community Association was developed in 1987 to maintain the resort.

Today the Wailea Resort consists of over 2,000 homes and condominiums, 6 resort hotels, 3 commercial/shopping centers, a tennis center, and 3 golf courses.
DOCUMENTS AND MAPS:    The following are documents and maps (not necessarily a complete collection) that describe the plans and planning of the Wailea Resort development, known
in the 1960's as the "Matson Property."
