        <title>Keep Maui Green Support Third Saturday Recycling in West Maui</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 


Maui needs your help to continue Third Saturday Recycling every month next year.  Just a few minutes of your time can make a huge difference for Maui's ecological future.








 


 


 


 


 


 








Volunteers recycling appliances, TVS and scrap metal as part of West Maui's Third Saturday


 


The Mayor’s proposed budget for next year includes just half the funds needed for Third Saturday Recycling. Unless the County Council increases the funding, these monthly events will only be held every other month starting in July. 


 


This is an incredible service to West Maui residents, run largely by volunteers and Malama Maui Nui.  Since the Third Saturday Recycling program began in July 2015, Malama Nui has collected over 500 tons of electronic waste – that’s over 1 million pounds of refuse.  Items collected include appliances (both Freon and non-freon), scrap metal, e-waste, tires, and lead-acid batteries. 






 


Please let the County Council members know how important it is to continue Third Saturday Recycling every month. 


Email the County Council Economic Development &amp; Budget Committee at edb.committee@mauicounty.us 


 


Or, if you prefer, send an email to one or more of the County Council members

Spotlight on the Maui Kai: Real Estate Market Overview


By Heidi Dollinger


At the ocean’s edge, Maui Kai is in an ideal location for those who enjoy walks on beautiful Kekaa Beach, one of Kaanapali's long white sand beaches.  The Maui Kai is a ten-story building with 80 units total, all with direct ocean views.    


There are currently five active listings for Studios at Maui Kai (395 SF – 420 SF).  List prices range from $479,000 to $498,000. The last sale of a studio at Maui Kai was Maui Kai 506, which closed at $475,000 on 2/1/2019.  There is currently (1) unit pending under/ contract, a 1-Bedroom, Maui Kai 605, listed at $625,000. 


There are just three active 1-Bedroom listings: Maui Kai 405 offered at $599,000Maui Kai 301 offered at $750,000Maui Kai 304 offered at $750,000





The view from the enclosed lanai of Maui Kai 405


The largest of the 1-Bedroom floor plans at 647 SF, Maui Kai 405 is unique in that it has an enclosed lanai, so the extra 153 SF of lanai space can be used as interior living space, or opened up to outdoor living space.  The whale watching from this unit in winter and early spring is incredible


Last year, Maui Kai units sold for AVG $978.24/sq. ft..  Of all 1-Bedroom fee simple vacation-rentable condominiums with ocean views that actively listed in Kaanapali at the time of writing, the Maui Kai is a rare offering, providing both direct ocean views and a beachfront location for under $1 million. 


Maui Kai has central A/C, and all utilities are included in the monthly HOA, which makes ownership convenient.  After completing some major building upgrades over the past couple of years, the monthly HOA at Maui Kai went down and there are no special assessments or shoreline projects.  There is onsite property management available as an option for owners who would like to use it.  The zoning is Hotel, so short-term nightly vacation rentals are allowed.
