HONOLULU, Hawaii, Nov. 10, 2026 – JLL Capital Markets announced today the $60.3 million sale of the fee simple interest in the Home Depot ground lease at 421 Alakawa Street in Honolulu. The property spans approximately nine acres in Honolulu's Iwilei district.
JLL represented the seller, Alexander & Baldwin, in the transaction.
Built in 1999, the property includes a 129,494-square-foot Home Depot store and an adjacent 110,479-square-foot, two-story parking structure. Home Depot U.S.A. Inc. holds a long-term absolute NNN lease on the site, with renewal options. The lease structure, Home Depot tenancy and infill Honolulu location make the property a distinctive net lease investment in a market where opportunities of this scale are limited.
The property is located in Iwilei, one of Honolulu's most strategically positioned urban districts between Downtown Honolulu, Honolulu Harbor and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport. The site is adjacent to the future Kūwili Skyline Station, part of Honolulu's expanding rail system, and sits within an area targeted for significant mixed-use redevelopment. Continued public and private investment throughout the surrounding district is expected to further enhance connectivity and accessibility over the long term.
As Hawaii's economic center, Honolulu benefits from a diverse employment base supported by government, military, healthcare, transportation, tourism and professional services industries. The property serves a broad consumer base across Oahu and occupies a location within one of the nation's most supply-constrained real estate markets.
