The first of three neighborhoods in Kapolei, Nohona will include 118 multi-family attached two- and three-bedroom town homes. The completion of the first homes is expected mid-2008. Future residential communities in Kapolei Villages will offer a combined total of 476 affordable housing units for sale and rent.

HHFDC selected Castle & Cooke to build the communities at a total projected cost of $118 million. The funding for the project involves private financing, state tax credits and general excise tax exemptions. The HHFDC is contributing the land and major infrastructure improvements. Construction of the three communities is expected to be completed by the end of 2009.

Qualified families earning 100 percent or below of the area median income (AMI) are targeted for the rental units, while qualified families at 140 percent and below of the AMI will have an opportunity to be first-time homebuyers. All are subject to HHFDC renter and first-time buyer guidelines. All renters and buyers in these new affordable communities will be members of the Villages of Kapolei Master Community Association and have access to association recreational facilities.
