Explore Mililani Town Homes, Condos & Neighborhood Life

Mililani Town is the original half of Mililani, O‘ahu’s first master-planned community, built by Castle & Cooke on former pineapple fields beginning in 1968. Located west of the H-2 Freeway on the Leilehua Plateau, it sits between the Wai‘anae and Ko‘olau mountain ranges. Mililani Town is home to almost all of Mililani’s commercial and retail centers, including Town Center of Mililani, Mililani Marketplace, and Mililani Shopping Center, as well as the public Mililani Golf Club and Mililani High School. Its housing includes established single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums, most of them fee simple and many with mature trees and landscaping. Residents share access to seven Mililani Town Association recreation centers across Mililani Town and Mililani Mauka.

Historical Development: From Pineapple Fields to Planned Community

Plantation Era

Before Mililani existed, the Leilehua Plateau was covered in Castle & Cooke pineapple fields. Early residents remember it as “country,” with red dirt, pineapple bugs, and cane fields stretching toward today’s Waikele.

Planning “Waipi‘o New Town” (1958–1968)

Castle & Cooke began planning in 1958, first calling the project “Waipi‘o New Town,” to turn pineapple fields into fee-simple homes for O‘ahu’s growing middle class. Its subsidiary, Oceanic Properties, worked with planners and architects to create a satellite city that would ease O‘ahu’s pent-up housing demand. Architect Al Boeke, who later created The Sea Ranch in California, served as development director. Planners called for about seven trees per home and kept driveways and parking off the main parkways, which created Mililani Town’s signature tree-lined boulevards.

Opening Day (1968)

The first 112 homes were released for sale on June 3, 1968, priced from $25,000 to $37,000. The smallest was an 884-square-foot home at $25,000, and the waiting list reached 2,000 buyers.
