Summary, model-written
The Outlets of Maui opened in November 2013 as an upscale outlet retail center on the former Lahaina Center site. It changed ownership in 2018 and 2021 before being destroyed by wildfires in 2023 and demolished during cleanup in 2024. The property is now a cleared gravel lot.
Why. The record shows a tenant loss with Hard Rock Cafe closing in 2016 and notes the site’s destruction by the 2023 wildfires; no explicit anchor loss, debt, or competition factors are stated.
Where it stands. The site is presently a cleared gravel lot, with Maui County listed as the developer and the status marked as approved.
For a planner
- The mall followed a redevelopment strategy from its original Lahaina Center predecessor.
- Approved status and the listed developer Maui County indicate a public‑led entitlement process.
- Open questions include the intended post‑wildfire use and whether housing or other plans are contemplated.
For a developer
- Site size is 11.0 acres.
- Control appears to rest with Maui County as the developer, with an approved entitlement stage.
- Context‑layer constraints such as flood risk, transit access, or environmental factors are not detailed in the record.
- Market signals note a median rent of $1,863 and describe the property as already in play with construction or housing plans.
What we do not know yet
- The record does not specify flood zone, transit proximity, or environmental constraints.
- Post‑2024 ownership and any debt or financing arrangements are unknown.
- The verified status is draft and the opportunity score is 0.0, indicating limited assessed viability.
- Key details such as a full tenant list, lease terms, or demolition permits are not provided.
- The opp_reasons reference housing plans but no specifics are given.
