Advertiser Staff

California-based nonprofit EAH Inc. said it has been selected to manage three downtown Honolulu affordable housing complexes owned by the city.

The affordable-housing development and management firm said it will assume management of the 90-unit Harbor Village Apartments, 200-unit Chinatown Gateway Plaza and 236-unit Marin Tower.

EAH manages about 6,000 affordable rental units, including 1,185 in Hawai'i where it manages other property.

A local affiliate of EAH, Hui Kauhale Inc., also plans to develop 240 low-income rental apartments at 'Ewa Villages. Hui Kauhale was selected by the city in 1999 to develop a vacant 23-acre site off Renton Road across from 'Ewa Elementary School.
