Heading to the Kohala Coast

Alright, friends, if you haven’t heard the buzz yet, here’s the scoop. BH Properties just snagged The Shops at Mauna Lani—our gem of a retail haven right along the sunny Kohala Coast on Hawaii’s Big Island. Nestled at 68-1330 Mauna Lani Dr., this six-acre spread is your go-to for all things shopping and dining while kicking back at the Waikoloa Resort. But, mum’s the word on what it cost them.

Where Prestige Meets Retail

Picture this: You’re strutting into some of Hawaii’s top-tier resorts like Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection, and Fairmont Orchid. And right there, at the gateway to it all, lies The Shops at Mauna Lani. This place has a bit of everything for everyone—be it international tourists or the locals. Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar anchors the vibe, while spots like Island Hopper Taproom and Mauna Lani Coffee Company keep you coming back for more.

BH Properties’ Vision

No one could’ve said it better than Jim Brooks, the big cheese over at BH Properties. “The Shops at Mauna Lani represents a rare opportunity,” he quips. Brooks and his crew live for value-add assets. They’re eyeing this spot like hawks, seeing untapped leasing potential just waiting for the right merchandising mojo and some investment magic.

Perfectly Positioned

Now, let’s talk location. This place is just a hop, skip, and a jump from Queen Kaʻahumanu Hwy.—the island’s main artery on the west side. And if you’re jetting in, it’s a breezy 30-minute drive from Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keāhole. The entire area spans over 1,300 acres and draws over 1.5 million curious souls each year, thanks to its divine beaches, golf galore, and swanky spots to rest your head.

Expanding Horizons

For BH Properties, this acquisition is more than just another notch in their belt. They’re dialed in, expanding their retail and mixed-use ventures across the western US. Who knows what’s next, but with their track record, they’ll no doubt keep surprising us.
