Organizers of the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard Apprentice Job Fair set for Saturday say they expect 3,000 job seekers to apply for roughly 100 available positions.
Successful applicants will begin a four-year program at the Peal Harbor Shipyard. The program, facilitated by Honolulu Community College, pays the students apprentice wages averaging more than $16 an hour as they work on a tuition-free associate degree.
The job fair will be held from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday at the Marine Education & Training Center, 10 Sand Island Access Road. For more information, call 474-9216 or go to acep.hawaii.navy.mil.
A development partnership involving Honolulu-based Coastal Construction Co. has announced plans to begin construction of 38 single-family luxury homes at Maui's Wailea Resort.
The project, called Kanani Wailea, is one of several residential subdivisions under development at the master-planned resort.
Pacific Land & Homes LLC bought an 8.4-acre site for Kanani Wailea in January for $4.5 million from an affiliate of Alexander & Baldwin Inc. The project is scheduled to begin in the next month or two. The first homes are expected to be finished by year-end.
A Pacific Land representative said prospective buyers have signed contracts to buy all the homes, which are priced at about $1.2 million.
The real estate subsidiary of Alexander & Baldwin Inc. has selected CB Richard Ellis Hawaii to manage 14 retail and office properties on Maui.
CBRE is taking over management contracts from Marcus & Associates. The properties total 785,481 square feet of leasable space, more than doubling the space on Maui managed by CBRE.
The retail properties include Maui Mall, Kahului Shopping Center, Napili Plaza, Fairway Shops and The Kele Building at Triangle Square. The office properties include One Main Plaza, Kahului Office Building and the Kahului Office Center.
