Land Transactions Division
The Land Transactions Division leads and reviews all real estate transactions involving City property interests. This includes acquisitions, dispositions, easements, dedications, rights-of-entry, and inter-agency use agreements. The division ensures that all land transactions are aligned with City objectives, legally compliant, and strategically support housing, infrastructure, and community development initiatives.
Acquisitions: A Strategic Tool for Housing
Land acquisition is one of the City’s most powerful tools for enabling affordable housing development. By proactively securing key parcels—particularly near transit hubs, employment centers, and areas with existing infrastructure—the City is able to reduce development costs, accelerate project timelines, and maintain long-term control over land use. These acquisitions help unlock mixed-use and affordable housing opportunities, support public-private partnerships, and preserve land for future community needs.
Why This Work Matters
Every land transaction the City undertakes plays a critical role in shaping Oʻahu’s future. By managing the City’s real property interests with transparency, diligence, and long-term strategy, the Land Transactions Division ensures that public lands are used to support housing, infrastructure, and equity-driven community development. In an island environment where land is limited, our work helps ensure that this vital resource is used for the greatest public good.
