Investment group buys Makena Resort & Maui Prince

Advertiser Staff

An investment group including Maui developer Everett Dowling, high-end hotel owner Trinity Investments and Morgan Stanley Real Estate are buying the 1,800-acre Makena Resort and the Maui Prince luxury hotel for $575 million.

The deal is scheduled to close on March 27.

The seller, Japan-based Seibu Group, announced last fall that it was seeking a buyer for the upscale resort property, which includes the 310-room Maui Prince, two 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed golf courses and 1,300-acres of undeveloped land.
