Kapolei - Oahu's second City

I am struck by my tremendous luck at having settled in to live in the Kapolei Community. I wish I could say that after rigorous research and study, I had selected Ko Olina and Kapolei as the place I would call home... but alas, I cannot. My move from Kansas was completely emotional as compared to analytical. I don't think I've ever thrown myself into the wind to see where I would land more than I have this year, but the result has been better than had I studied and planned my move for years.

In fact, I'm having so much trouble keeping track of all the things that are going on and coming soon to Kapolei, that I think that is what spurred me to make this blog. A place where I could easily store the upcoming events I find interesting and reference them later.

For an overal glimpse of Kapolei, I think the best website around is
www.Kapolei.com. This website is maintained by the company which is ostensibly the largest single factor which has made Kapolei possible, Kapolei Property Development, LLC. To quote their site,

"An affiliate of the James Campbell Company LLC, KPD continues the company’s long-standing commitment to the development of Kapolei. These efforts began in the 1970s with the development of a master plan for the region, which moved from the drawing board to reality with groundbreaking for the city’s urban core in 1990.

Now, 16 years after groundbreaking, not only is Kapolei the fastest growing area in the state, it is also well on its way to becoming a major urban center. In fact, projections for the next 20 years show that there will be 7 million square feet of commercial space and 65,000 jobs in the Kapolei region, making it a worthy rival to downtown Honolulu."

Kapolei.com is a great place to start if you are hoping to find information about Kapolei. Their Link page is 2nd to none, their data is very up to date (it helps when you are the driving force) and their quick facts are a treasure trove of well constructed details. 

A good place to start I think. 

Toto... I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.
