In a significant development for West Maui, Kumulani Chapel has reached an agreement with Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc., to secure a permanent home within the Kapalua Resort. The church, a fixture in the community for 42 years, will purchase more than six acres of land, paving the way for a dedicated campus.
This land acquisition signals a considerable investment in the future by Kumulani Chapel and reflects the ongoing dynamics of real estate and community development within West Maui. The project could potentially spur further economic activity in the region, offering opportunities for local contractors, suppliers, and service providers during the construction and development phases.
The initiative also highlights the role of religious institutions in community development. As PlainJoe Studios notes in their architectural evangelism of Harvest Kumulani Maui, a well-designed space can contribute to a vibrant and welcoming environment, fostering community engagement and outreach. This type of investment provides a solid hub for ministry and community involvement.
Simultaneously, the deal between Kumulani Chapel and Maui Land & Pineapple underscores the strategic value of land in the Kapalua region. Recent reports show how Maui Land & Pineapple is leasing land to revitalize ranching, further developing their agricultural holdings. This recent purchase confirms the demand for land in strategically desirable areas.
The establishment of a permanent campus provides Kumulani Chapel with a platform to expand its ministries, services, and community programs. Moreover, it exemplifies the local economic environment, where established organizations continue to invest and grow despite the challenges and opportunities in the Maui area.
