ʻUlu o Lele, an interim marketplace on the former Outlets of Maui site along Front Street, will hold its grand opening on November 10 with community festivities and a free Common Kings concert. The $8 million project is the first commercial storefront development to return to Front Street since the 2023 wildfire.
- The grand opening runs from 1–9:15 p.m. on Nov. 10, featuring vendor spotlights, cultural demonstrations, local music, and a free Common Kings concert.
- ʻUlu o Lele occupies roughly 3 acres at the former Outlets of Maui site and will host 17 retail units, up to 8 food trucks, and a nightly entertainment stage.
- Monthly rents for retail units are expected to range from $800 to $1,500, supporting 25–50 local vendors and approximately 90 jobs.
- The project is funded by an $8 million investment combining the Hawaiian Council’s Kāko’o Maui Fund and a $4 million grant from Hawaii Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund.
- Hawaiian Council holds a two-year lease on the property, positioning the marketplace as a bridge for West Maui businesses while permanent rebuilding continues.
