About Kapolei, Hawaii

Kapolei is a planned community in the City and County of Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, United States, on the island of Oʻahu. In 1955 the Kapolei master plan was drafted and revised 3 different times beginning in 1974. In 1977 the new General Provision Plan adopted the Oʻahu General Plan which dubbed Kapolei "second urban center" on the island of Oʻahu. Ka Makana Ali‘i, a mall that opened in October 2016, has 1.4 million square feet of retail space and more than a hundred stores. Macy's, a department store chain, is an anchor for the mall.
