After World War II the Matson Navigation Company looked to expand their hotel operations to Maui and purchased the 1,500 acres of scrubland at Wailea in 1957. Nothing happened until Alexander & Baldwin gained a controlling interest in Matson in 1964 and eventually full ownership in 1969. A&B began studying the potential of the land and in 1971 partnered with Northwest Mutual Life Insurance Company of Milwaukee to create the Wailea Development Company and begin developing a residential resort community. The 1500-acre Wailea Resort was conceived as an integrated residential resort community. Commercial properties and recreational amenities, such as golf and tennis, were also included in the extensive resort planning. The Wailea Community Association was developed in 1987 to maintain the resort in a first class style through management of common property maintenance and design controls. Today the Wailea Resort consists of - over 2,000 exquisite homes and condominiums, - six major resort hotels, - three commercial/shopping centers, - an award winning tennis center, - and three world-class golf courses. this is fronted by - 1.5 miles of beaches and volcanic rock outcroppings.
