Fairway Shops

Fairway Shops is an outdoor shopping center located in Ka'anapali, a resort area of Lahaina on the island of Maui, Hawaii. The property opened in 2001 on approximately three acres and provides about 34,980 square feet, or roughly 3,200 square meters, of retail and service space. Rather than functioning as a single-product consumer brand, Fairway Shops operates as a multi-tenant commercial destination whose identity is built around its location, convenience, and mix of independent and regional businesses. The center is situated near the Maui Eldorado resort and the northern section of the Ka'anapali Beach Resort, directly off the Honoapi'ilani Highway. Its location places it within reach of hotels, condominiums, vacation properties, and local residents. Shuttle connections help integrate the center into the surrounding visitor economy: accommodations in the area have offered transportation to the shops, while the Kaanapali Trolley has served the property on an hourly schedule for travel around the community. Fairway Shops was designed to accommodate approximately 21 tenant spaces. Its occupants have predominantly been small businesses and locally operated companies rather than large national chains. Reported tenants have included Artistic Nails & Spa, Sangrita Grill and Cantina, Valley Isle Fitness, and West Maui's urgent care center. This tenant profile gives the property a mixed-use character, combining food and beverage, personal care, fitness, health services, and other neighborhood-oriented offerings. One of the early businesses at the property was CJ's Comfort Zone Deli, which began leasing space in 2003. The independently operated café was associated with an informal, home-style food concept influenced by its owner's grandmother's cooking and supplemented with international flavors. In 2016, Keller Williams Realty's KW Island Living opened its fourth Maui location at Fairway Shops while preparing for a merger with Lahaina-based Whalers Realty, Inc. These changes illustrate the center's role as a base for both consumer-facing services and professional businesses. Ownership and management have changed or been divided across different parties. Jupiter Holdings LLC, identified as the original owner of the mall, reportedly offered the property for sale in April 2015. Gutman Realty LLC remained the landowner of the center's site, while the Hawaiian branch of Colliers International managed the property. The shopping center was reported to have a 97 percent occupancy rate in connection with its tenant activity, although the date and continuing applicability of that figure require verification. Fairway Shops is best understood as a local commercial property and visitor-serving shopping destination rather than a conventional packaged-goods or corporate retail brand. Its importance comes from providing accessible retail, dining, wellness, health-care, and professional services within the Ka'anapali resort area, while also supporting small businesses and regional operators.

Fairway Shops opened in 2001 as an outdoor shopping center in Ka'anapali, a neighborhood and resort district associated with Lahaina on Maui. The development occupies approximately three acres and contains about 34,980 square feet of retail and service space. Its planned capacity was described as 21 tenant spaces, allowing the property to support a broad range of small businesses and local operators rather than a single dominant retail anchor. The center's location near the Maui Eldorado resort and the Ka'anapali Beach Resort placed it within a visitor-oriented commercial environment. It was built directly off the Honoapi'ilani Highway, providing road access to nearby accommodations and communities. Transportation links further supported its role as a destination for tourists and residents. Hotels and condominiums in the area have offered complimentary shuttle services, and the Kaanapali Trolley has stopped at the center approximately once an hour for local transportation. Fairway Shops developed a tenant mix centered on independent and regional businesses. Reported occupants have included restaurants, salons, fitness providers, real-estate offices, and medical services. CJ's Comfort Zone Deli was among the early tenants, opening at the center in 2003. The café was independently operated and presented a menu influenced by family cooking and international food traditions. Other reported tenants included Artistic Nails & Spa, Sangrita Grill and Cantina, Valley Isle Fitness, and a West Maui urgent care facility. The property's ownership and management structure has involved separate entities. Jupiter Holdings LLC was identified as the original owner and was reported in April 2015 to have placed the mall property for sale. Gutman Realty LLC remained the sole landowner of the center, while Colliers International's Hawaiian operation managed it. The center was reported to be approximately 97 percent occupied in the period covered by the available reference material. Tenant changes continued to demonstrate the center's role as a base for local commerce and professional services. In 2016, KW Island Living, a Keller Williams Realty operation, opened its fourth Maui location at Fairway Shops. The opening took place as the company prepared for a merger with Lahaina-based Whalers Realty, Inc. Alongside food, fitness, personal care, and retail activity, the arrival of a real-estate office and an urgent-care provider broadened the center's practical use beyond vacation shopping. Fairway Shops therefore represents a small, community-facing commercial development embedded in a major Hawaiian resort market. Its history is defined less by corporate brand expansion than by the continued assembly and turnover of tenant businesses, the property's relationship with nearby hotels and transportation services, and the division between land ownership and professional property management.
