Despite lengthy community testimony calling for a more in-depth study, the Maui Planning Commission voted Tuesday to accept the final environmental assessment for a 57-unit luxury condominium project proposed for Wailea.
Under applicant and development manager Ledcor, the $130 million Wailea Resort SF-S Residential Project is planning 57 single-family residential units on roughly 23 acres adjacent to Kilohana Park and Wailea Kialoa resort community. Units are expected to sell for about $3.6 million each, mostly to part-time residents.
The 5-2 vote, with commissioners Kawika Freitas and Ashley Lindsey dissenting, affirmed the county Planning Department recommendation to accept the state-required study and to issue a finding of no significant impact.
