The master developer of the Princeville at Hanalei resort community on Kauai’s North Shore is upgrading the entrance to the community, according to Pacific Business News.
The entrance to Princeville at Ka Haku Road and Kuhio Highway will get a new Hawaiian landscaped feature as well as rebuilt roads.
The dated European look of ponds flanking the Ka Haku Road turn from Kuhio Highway will be replaced by a dramatic landscape of curved rock walls, backed by trees that reflect a landscaping theme running throughout the community.
Honolulu-based land planning, landscape architecture and graphic design firm PBR Hawaii & Associates did the work on the new design, which includes sweeping moss rock walls with extensive new tree plantings, focused on two familiar trees at Princeville — the Norfolk pines and kukui trees.
Construction is expected to take about three months.
Princeville’s entry roads, which have long been in need of reconstruction, will be upgraded. Although these roads are privately owned by the Princeville Association of Apartment Owners, this work is the result of an agreement between Princeville Development and the Princeville II Community Association to make sure the entry roads match the newer interior roads that were completed last year.
The roadway repair will cover the entire length of Ka Haku Road from Kuhio Highway to the old treeline. It will also include portions of Emmalani Drive from Ka Haku Road to the speed bump between the library and the Princeville Community Center.
Princeville Development said it is funding the project with the association overseeing the roadwork.
