Shipman Business Park
An Industrial Hub Designed for Growth
Located in the heart of Keaʻau, Shipman Business Park has been a cornerstone of East Hawaiʻi’s industrial growth since its establishment in 1988. Offering MG-20 (General Industrial) zoning, the park features lot sizes starting at 20,000 square feet, catering to businesses of all sizes. Strategically positioned just nine miles south of Hilo, it provides easy access to the entire island.
Over the past three decades, Shipman Business Park has become home to major tenants such as Pepsi-Cola, Hawaii Planing Mill, and Big Island Biodiesel. These businesses play a vital role in supporting distribution and manufacturing across the island. Numerous large contractors and suppliers also have headquarters in the park, filling the construction needs of the entire island. As one of the largest industrial parks in Hawaiʻi, Shipman Business Park continues to attract a diverse mix of industries, including restaurants, self-storage, and home improvement centers.
In 2024, W.H. Shipman, Limited broke ground on an exciting new expansion along Kipimana Street, offering half-acre lots that will be available for sale starting in June 2025. This development reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to fostering economic growth and creating opportunities for the Keaʻau and Puna communities.
