1 WAIMEA PLANTATION A MIXED-USE COMMUNITY KIKIAOLA LAND COMPANY LTD. Waimea, Kauai

3 ALOHA Welcome to Waimea Plantation, 625 acres of privately owned land adjacent to the existing Waimea community on the west side of Kauai, a prime location for the development of a mixed-use resort community on Hawaii s Garden Island, known for its geological landforms, lush tropical forests, and rich cultural history. As the owners of Waimea Plantation, the Fayé family has been an integral part of West Kauai for more than 100 years. Through its Kikiaola Land Company (Kikiaola), a conceptual master plan for the area has been prepared for a mixed-use community. As an extension of historic Waimea town the mixed-use community will provide a diversity of new economic opportunities for West Kauai while preserving the significant cultural and historic resources of the area. The new Kauai County General Plan has designated portions of Waimea Plantation land as Resort and Urban Community which will enable the plan to incorporate a resort, a private marina and a golf course as well as a variety of commercial and housing opportunities. Kikiaola began implementing its master planning with the construction and operation of the Waimea Plantation Cottages, an 82-unit oceanfront hotel and conference center consisting of cottages nestled among mature coconut and banyan trees. The facility has gained wide acceptance for its environmental and cultural sensitivity. In addition, two residential subdivisions have been developed and sold. The community has also been enhanced by Kauai County s new Technology and Visitor Center that is situated on former Kikiaola land at the base of the Waimea Canyon Drive, entry to the famed Grand Canyon of Hawaii. To achieve the fullest potential of its Waimea Plantation Community Plan, Kikiaola is offering development opportunities to responsible investors who share our vision and want to participate in its implementation, either as a leasehold developer or joint venture partner. Also, selective parcels of Waimea Plantation may be offered for sale. This brochure summarizes existing project conditions, describes the site and conceptual master plan, and identifies development opportunities at Waimea Plantation.
