Construction on the 60-unit Lahaina Residential community at 1034 Front Street officially launched October 2, with building work set to begin October 19 and expected to wrap up in about 18 months. All 60 homes, destroyed in the August 2023 wildfire, will be rebuilt to their original size and layout with added fire-resilience upgrades.
- Local firm Arita Poulson General Contracting will oversee the full rebuild using local workers, with construction starting October 19, 2026.
- The rebuilt homes will include fire-resistant siding and roofing, defensible space landscaping, low-flow plumbing, and EV charger infrastructure.
- Design was coordinated with County of Maui historic preservation representatives to maintain compatibility with the nearby Seaman’s Hospital and Front Street view corridor.
- The 2023 Lahaina fire destroyed more than 2,700 structures, caused over $5.5 billion in damage, and displaced nearly 13,000 people.
- Mayor Richard Bissen called housing the foundation of Lahaina’s recovery at the October 2 groundbreaking ceremony.
