Keaʻau Village Master Plan: A Vision for Sustainable Growth
Shaping Keaʻau Village into a vibrant, connected community through thoughtful planning and responsible development.
A Visionary Plan for Keaʻau’s Future
Creating a walkable, mixed-use community that balances growth and tradition.
W.H. Shipman, Limited’s community-based long-range Master Plan focuses on 200 acres surrounding Kea’au Village. This project is a two-phase Master Plan to infill areas adjacent to the existing Kea‘au Village to create a mixed-use, walkable community that is consistent with long-range vision for the Kea‘au area. The Project will infill vacant lands between the existing Village, Kea‘au Middle School, Kea‘au High School, and Kea‘au Elementary School, and establish a new regional commercial center on the west side of Volcano Highway. The Project will provide a range of housing opportunities to be located near existing public schools, and commercial development opportunities that will provide needed services for the Kea‘au area.
Building for Today and Tomorrow
The Master Plan focuses on creating a balanced mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial spaces, educational facilities, and recreational areas. Key features include:
Walkable Design
Streets, sidewalks, and open spaces that encourage pedestrian-friendly access.
Cultural Preservation
Architectural and landscape elements that honor Keaʻau’s plantation heritage.
Environmental Stewardship
Sustainable practices to protect the land and its natural resources.
