When’s the projected closings at Paradise Ridge?

**Our closings timeline has been updated with actual County of Maui review times below**

We are in full swing of construction at Paradise Ridge! Buildings 5, 6, 7 and 8 (Phase 1) are all getting their finishes installed now. Buildings 1, 2, 3 and 4 (Phase 2) are still under rough framing and drywall with finishing materials on site or inbound. The projected phase 1 completion of the buildings, pool, pool house, trash enclosure, and gate, with all landscaping, irrigation, sidewalks and paving, is projected to be September/October, labor dependent. Once phase 1 is complete, we apply for our final SMA (environmental) compliance approval – this timeline is realistically going to take 60 days, which puts this approval in December 2022. The COs could be issued earlier than 90 days, or later. The closings for phase 1 we are projected approximately February/March 2023, but this is 100% County of Maui dependent.

Phase 2 units (in buildings 1, 2, 3 and 4) are projected to be built with site items completed in December 2022, with the same ballpark projected time frame for the final SMA compliance review and issuance of Certificates of Occupancy. This puts our best guess of the closings for Phase 2 sometime in May/June 2023.

Is there anything I can do as a buyer to speed up closings, once the Certificate of Occupancy has been issued for my unit?

The answer is: maybe. It depends on how you are funding the remainder of the balance of your unit in escrow. If you are paying with cash funds, after the CO for your unit is issued, closing can be relatively quickly with escrow. If you are paying with a loan, your lender may have additional inspections and/or appraisals that could take several weeks to request and/or underwrite before funding your loan to support your closing. I highly recommend you talk with your lender about front-loading anything you can during the County’s review period; your unit will be done and waiting for COs/closings, and any inspections or appraisals needed could potentially be done then. Further, several like units are very likely already done in phase 1; if an inspection or appraisal is needed, a sister unit could be used for finishes comparison, for example.

What are your hours for construction noise?

We apologize in advance for construction noise on site – we are building Paradise Ridge Estates as safely and quickly as possible.

Our contractors will work Monday to Friday, from 7:30 am to 6pm; the main work will be between 8am and 4pm most days. Some work may be completed on Saturday between 9am to 5pm. The access gate near Keonekai Park will not be opened until 7am out of courtesy to our neighbors along the access road. No work on Sundays or federal holidays. If we have to use the hydraulic hammer, a separate notification will be sent out to the neighbors.

Will the final access for Paradise Ridge be off South Kihei Road, or off Keonekai?

The final driveway access to Paradise Ridge will be through the Hale Kamaole access off of South Kihei Road. The Keonekai access is for construction only.

Will short term rentals be allowed on Paradise Ridge?

No. The zoning and rules will allow owner-occupied units or long term rentals only. The project is not zoned for short term rentals.

Will others be accessing the site outside of noise hours?

Yes. As potential buyers and realtors cannot be on site safely during most of the construction work, we have asked them to view the property during non-work hours. There will be people accessing Paradise Ridge after hours, on Saturdays and Sundays, without making construction noise.
