        <title>Montage Residences Kapalua Bay: New Offering to be Announced</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
The Montage Residences Kapalua Bay Update: a limited collection of 15 three-bedroom residences soon to be released





The Residences at the Montage Kapalua Bay have been one of Maui's most desirable vacation destinations and one of Maui's most sought after condominium properties.   Initially developed as the Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, the original offering was 84 wholly-owned Grand Residences and 62 fractional (1/12th) ownership residences.  These original Grand Residences ranged from 2789 sq. ft. for a three-bedroom residence, 2901 sq. ft. for a three-bedroom residence with a den, and 4055 sq. ft. for the four-bedroom residences.   


Since the rebranding and launch of sales in 2014, the Montage Residences Kapalua Bay have commanded the highest sales prices for condominiums in West Maui: sales have ranged from $3,125,000 to $6,475,000 for the three-bedroom residences, and the larger four-bedroom residences have ranged from $7,500,000 to $8,950,000.  View Recent Montage Residences Sales


When the property was rebranded, the fractional sales halted, converting any unsold fractional residences to hotel inventory. There were over 20 three-bedroom residences that had no fractions sold, and now 15 of those residences will be offered for sale. 


Situated in Buildings 3 and 4, which flank the lobby entrance, each residence offers over 2,000 square feet of interior living space with views of the ocean and outer-islands.  The residences are smaller than the Grand Residences and while pricing has not yet been released, this promises to be an exceptional entry point into ownership at the Forbes five-star resort.


These residences are offered fully furnished and can be immediately placed in the hotel rental program.  Finishes include granite countertops, marble bathrooms, Kohler plumbing fixtures and appliances by Sub-Zero, Wolf, and GE Monogram.  Owners will enjoy valet parking and secure storage.


This is a limited offering.  Please contact Courtney to register your interest and to receive information on unit locations, as well as updates on pricing and the release.

Spotlight on the Mahana at Kaanapali


Mahana Market Update and New Listings


by Heidi Dollinger


 One of the most elegant properties on North Kaanapali Beach, the Mahana exudes warmth and welcoming with a relaxed Hawaiian sophistication.  Located less than five miles north of historic Lahaina town, the Mahana is tucked away down a quiet drive, convenient to markets and shopping, near Black Rock Beach, Whaler’s Village, and world-class golf courses in Kaanapali and Kapalua.


Mahana Market Update: Recent Mahana Sales


There was a new closing this week at Mahana 519, a two-bedroom south corner unit with jaw-dropping views, closed at full list price on March 4, 2019 for $1,850,000. Island Sotheby’s International Realty represented both buyer and seller. 


In the past 12 months from the time of writing, there have been eight sales of 1 bedroom 1 bath 820 SF units with closed prices ranging from $815,000 to $990,000.  In the same time period there were two sales of 456 sf studio units, which closed at $625,000 and $645,000.


Currently there are two pending/ under contract units at the Mahana – an eleventh-floor studio listed at $695,000, and a second-floor 1 bedroom 1 bath, listed at $821,000.


Days on market at the Mahana is down significantly in 2019 compared to the past two years,  2017 and 2018.





JUST LISTED – Mahana 715, a 1 bedroom 2 bath direct oceanfront unit with 854 sf of living space plus a private oceanfront lanai.  The second bathroom is a huge bonus (Most of the other one-bedrooms at the Mahana have only one bathroom.)

For buyers who are searching for a great value for a Maui beachfront property, the Mahana is a property to consider.  Compared to other nearby resorts like Honua Kai, Kaanapali Alii, and The Whaler, the median, average, and price per square foot prices at Mahana are better*, and the units at Mahana all have DIRECT OCEAN VIEWS, and outer island views of Molokai and Lanai.  The whale-watching this time of year is spectacular 


Mahana 715 is currently a busy vacation rental and is managed by Aston. For more information about the Mahana at Kaanapali, contact Heidi Dollinger.
