Kalaeloa Town · Kapolei, O‘ahu

Ka‘ulu by Gentry

A new community of 390 energy-efficient single-family homes and townhomes in Kalaeloa — thoughtfully designed for local families ready to plant roots and put down a new beginning in West O‘ahu.

“Ka‘ulu” honors the ‘ulu, or breadfruit tree, that the first Polynesian voyagers planted at Kalaeloa — a symbol of sustenance and new beginnings.

Ka‘ulu by Gentry is a roughly 30-acre green community in the heart of Kalaeloa, built by leading kama‘aina developer Gentry Homes. The neighborhood brings together 128 single-family homes and 262 townhomes — 390 residences in all — wrapped around open space, parks, and walkable, tree-lined streets planted with native ‘ulu.

Every Ka‘ulu home is sold to owner-occupants — Gentry does not sell to investors — so the community is made up of full-time residents who take pride in their homes and their neighborhood. With thoughtful living spaces, energy-saving features, and Gentry’s signature Value Included in Price (VIP) approach, Ka‘ulu homes are built to be “Tomorrow’s Homes Today.” The community also sets aside Reserved Housing units at below-market pricing for eligible first-time buyers.

Sales Status

Ka‘ulu is selling now and released in stages, so availability changes often. Here is how the process works and what buyers should know:

  • Sold in increments — Ka‘ulu is released across roughly 8 sales increments, each spanning about 4 to 6 months and broken into 2 to 7 phases — a steady, incremental approach typical of Gentry’s Ewa Plain communities.
  • Lottery, then first-come — Homes in each release are offered by lottery first, then on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Reserved Housing releases — Each increment includes market-priced homes plus a set of Reserved Housing units for eligible first-time buyers (more below).
  • Model homes to tour — Professionally decorated model homes showcase the floor plans — contact us to arrange a visit.
Because Ka‘ulu releases in phases, the plans, homesites, and lottery deadlines available change with each increment. Connect with us before you visit the sales office so we can represent you as your buyer’s agent and help you line up the right release, floor plan, and homesite.

The Single-Family Homes

Ka‘ulu’s single-family collection offers three 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath floor plans ranging from about 1,508 to 1,592 square feet, each available in complementary plantation and craftsman exterior styles with a choice of color schemes. Plan names below; specs are approximate.

Entry is through an enclosed front yard with an open picket fence; interiors feature 9′ ceilings in most living areas for a bright, airy feel. Homes are built with borate-treated lumber and an algae-resistant composite roof. Renderings and square footages are approximate and vary by plan, elevation, and site conditions.

The Townhomes

The Ka‘ulu townhome community features five floor plans — a mix of two 2-bed/2-bath, two 3-bed/2-bath, and one 2-bed/2.5-bath residences — from about 877 to 1,324 square feet, each with an enclosed garage. Plan names below; specs are approximate.

Townhomes carry nearly all the same high-quality interior and exterior appointments as the single-family homes. Optional upgrades include ceiling fans and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. Square footages are approximate and may vary by plan type and elevation. Contact me for each plan’s current bed/bath count, square footage, and availability.

Reserved Housing for First-Time Buyers

Ka‘ulu sets aside a portion of its townhomes as Reserved Housing units — offered at below-market pricing to eligible first-time buyers under the Kalaeloa Reserved Housing Rules administered by the Hawai‘i Community Development Authority (HCDA). These homes are built to the same standards as Gentry’s market homes, with the same energy-efficient features.

  • Below-market pricing — Reserved homes are priced by income (AMI) guidelines, making homeownership more attainable without compromising quality.
  • Streamlined path — The Reserved Housing process is designed to be simpler, with lower deposit requirements and a relatively fast move-in after purchase.
  • Awarded by lottery — Reserved units are released within each sales increment and awarded by lottery to qualified applicants.
  • Support to qualify — Gentry partners with non-profits offering down payment assistance and homebuyer education to help buyers get ready.
Reserved Housing eligibility, income limits, deposit amounts, application requirements, and lottery deadlines are set by HCDA rules and change with each release. Reach out early and we'll help you confirm whether you qualify and get your paperwork in on time.

Pricing Information

  • Single-family homes: Market-priced homes have started in the low $900,000s.
  • Townhomes: Market-priced townhomes have started in the $600,000s.
  • Reserved Housing units: Priced below market according to HCDA income (AMI) guidelines — ask about current eligibility and pricing.
  • Value Included in Price: Energy-saving and quality features come standard as part of Gentry’s VIP approach, rather than as add-on upgrades.

Starting prices shown are approximate, reflect earlier releases, and are subject to change with each increment. Because Ka‘ulu releases in phases, current pricing and availability depend on the active increment — contact me for the latest price list and open homes.
