Maalaea Banyans

190 Hauoli St, Wailuku, HI 96793

Maalaea Banyans holds seventy eight homes in a single four-story building, one and two bedroom layouts built in 1978 around a pool and hot tub, a combination few other buildings in the village offer. An elevator, storage, and BBQ area round out the grounds, with beach access at the door and the calm, protected water of Maalaea Bay making it an easy spot for swimming, plus a front-row seat for whale season, December through April.

Maalaea Banyans is fee simple, a point in its favor compared to several of its leasehold neighbors nearby. Maalaea Banyans is apartment-zoned (A-2) and, per available records, is among the Maalaea buildings understood to fall under Maui County's Minatoya list, the same apartment-district exception used in South and West Maui. Under Bill 9 (Ordinance No. 5909), that short-term rental use is set to phase out countywide by January 1, 2031, since Maalaea isn't in the West Maui zone that faces the earlier 2029 deadline; ask Diane to confirm current status before you count on rental income.
