In 1837, Samuel Northrup Castle and Amos Starr Cooke landed in Hawaiʻi to begin their new lives. First missionaries, then teachers, then merchants, then pineapple and sugar plantation owners, first in Hawaiʻi and then worldwide. In Hawaiʻi, the company eventually shifted focus to residential and commercial real estate development, becoming one of the state's largest developers of master-planned communities.

Building Toward A Sustainable Future

Our islands boast precious and finite natural resources, and Castle & Cooke understands what it takes to live, grow, and thrive in this special place. That’s why our company’s environmental objectives are our top priority. We’ve invested time, research, and resources into providing quality products and services for our customers while mitigating and minimizing our impact on the environment. Our aim is to promote a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.

FEATURED SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES

Dole Plantation Solar Panels

Dole Plantation Solar Farm

In 2014, Dole Plantation, one of Hawai‘i’s most popular attractions with more than 1 million visitors each year, went solar to help reduce energy costs and promote sustainability.

A ground-mounted solar energy system includes 746 panels on about a half-acre of land adjacent to the train tracks along the final stretch of the Pineapple Express train tour.

In addition to benefitting from the energy savings, Dole Plantation uses the system to help educate local residents and off-island visitors about clean energy’s role in current practices and the future of agriculture.

Dole Plantation EV Charging Station

Dole Plantation EV Charging Stations

In 2015, Hawaiian Electric opened its first fast-charging station for Electric Vehicles (EV’s) at Castle & Cooke’s Dole Plantation attraction in Central Oʻahu. Due to Dole Plantation’s popularity, as well as its strategic location as the last stop on the way to Oʻahu’s world-famous North Shore, this is a perfect spot to launch the first of the company's fast-charging EV stations.

The utility hopes the fast charger will eliminate “range anxiety” for Electric Vehicle drivers traveling between Honolulu and the North Shore.

With a fast charger, a near-depleted battery can recharge to about 80 percent capacity in 30 minutes and even less for smaller recharges.

The charger was the first of its kind on Oʻahu, supporting both types of fast charging for Asian-built EVs, as well as American and European EVs.

Dole Cannery Solar & EV Charging Stations

Dole Cannery Solar &EV Charging Stations

An iconic landmark and an important part of Hawaiʻi’s agricultural history, Dole Cannery transformed from what was once the worldʻs largest pineapple cannery operation into today’s state-of-the-art office and retail complex.

In the spirit of continuing to look forward and plan for Hawaiʻi’s clean energy future, Castle & Cooke is in the process of installing approximately 1,384 photovoltaic solar panels on the various Dole Cannery office building rooftops which will provide efficient renewable energy to the company’s wide mix of tenants.

In addition, to support clean transportation, the property also features free EverCharge Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations in the parking structure and two HECO DC Fast Chargers in the surface parking lot.

Castle & Cooke Aviation Solar Farm

Castle & Cooke Aviation Solar Farm

As part of Castle & Cooke’s company-wide sustainability initiatives, a roof-top solar farm is planned for Castle & Cooke Aviation’s hangar in Honolulu.

Approximately 468 photovoltaic solar panels are scheduled to be installed by the end of 2021. This will help reduce the buildings’ carbon footprint and provide the facility and its tenants with clean renewable energy.

Stormwater Filtration

Castle & Cooke has a history of leading the way in new areas of master-planned community development and sustainability initiatives.

We’re proud that Koa Ridge is one of the first residential communities in Hawaiʻi to have installed an advanced biofiltration system that treats stormwater by separating trash, sediment, and pollutants before they enter our ocean waters.

This is one example of how Castle & Cooke is taking steps to reduce our environmental impact within the communities we develop and well beyond.

Helping to Reforest Hawaiʻi

In support of our corporate mission and social responsibility, we’ve partnered with the non-profit organization Saving Hawai‘i's Forests and committed to planting a Koa tree for every home sold. This is our opportunity to reduce the carbon footprint at Koa Ridge and make a positive impact on the environment.

A Rich History Of Growth And Diversification

Historical Timeline

1837 – Early History
In 1837, Samuel Northrup Castle and Amos Starr Cooke landed in Hawaiʻi, then known as the Sandwich Islands, to begin their lives as lay missionaries. Castle's assignment was to order, unload, and distribute supplies for the mission depository. Cooke's job was to teach local residents.

1851 – Humble Beginnings
Castle & Cooke was founded in 1851 as a partnership between Samuel Northrup Castle and Amos Starr Cooke as a department store that sold farm tools, sewing equipment, and medicine.

1858 – Investment in Sugar
In 1858, Castle and Cooke first ventured out of the mercantile business to make an investment in the new sugar industry. Over the next few decades, the company continued to invest heavily in Hawaii's sugar industry.

In the late 1860s, the company branched into the shipping business, handling shoreside business for a number of transpacific and inter-island vessels.

1910s – Expansion of Shipping
In the 1910s, Castle & Cooke invested in the Maston Navigation Company. Although Castle & Cooke had been in the shipping business for 50 years, a 1907 agreement with William Matson to be the agent for Matson Navigation Company greatly increased the company ʻs business in this area.

1925 – Diversification into Travel
In 1925, a group of entrepreneurs decided that the travelers to Hawaiʻi needed a luxurious place to stay during their trip. Then Chairman of Castle & Cooke, Edward Davies Tenney, oversaw the building of the $2 million Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

1931 – Dole Food Company Acquisition

1961 – Expansion of Real Estate Holdings
By 1961, Castle & Cooke’s land holdings grew to 150,000 acres in Hawaiʻi and California. Projects included new communities, golf courses, apartments, medical buildings, and other developments worldwide.

1964 – Standard Fruit Company Acquisition
Between 1964 and 1968, Castle & Cooke acquired the Standard Fruit Company, adding bananas and other tropical fruits to its existing pineapple operations. The company maintained Dole's large pineapple plantations throughout Hawaiʻi, including on the island of Lanaʻi, where Castle & Cooke owned 98 percent of the island.

1970s – Restructuring and Transition
By the beginning of the 1970s, a decision was made to bring Castle & Cookeʻs many diversified companies together, tightening the corporate structure. All food activities, except sugar, were brought into a single group, Castle & Cooke Foods. Real estate activities, manufacturing, and merchandising were organized into two additional groups.

1985 – Flexi-Van Merger
In 1985, the company merged with the Flexi-Van Corporation, a transportation leasing company owned by David H. Murdock. The company was reorganized into three separate operations: Flexi-Van, Dole Food, and Oceanic Properties.

In 1991, the company was renamed Dole Food Company.

1995 – Real Estate Spin-off
In 1995, the real estate operations of The Dole Food Company were spun off as the newly reformed company, Castle & Cooke.

2008 – Completion and Final Sales of Mililani
Sales of the final phase of Mililani took place in 2008, closing a major chapter in the companyʻs 150-year history. Ultimately, Castle & Cooke invested over $3.5 billion in infrastructure and improvements to create this one-of-a-kind dream community.

2012 – Island of Lanaʻi Sale
In May of 2012, Oracle Corporation CEO, Larry Ellison, signed an agreement to buy most of the 6th largest Hawaiian island of Lanaʻi from Castle & Cooke.

Koa Ridge will ultimately include an estimated 3,500 homes for Hawaiʻi families as well as shopping, restaurants, a planned elementary school and Healthcare Campus, a community center, a 7.5 mile pedestrian walkway, and much more.

Our Mission

Investing in Hawai‘i, Creating Communities, and Delivering Dreams.

Our Vision

To create smart, sustainable, and vibrant planned communities where the people of Hawaiʻi can live, grow, and thrive.

Our Business

ֱappʻi owns, manages, and develops residential, commercial, and mixed-use real estate throughout Hawaiʻi, including the award-winning master-planned community of Mililani, Dole Cannery, Dole Plantation, Mililani Technology Park, and Castle & Cooke Aviation. Our new Koa Ridge Surban master-planned community in Central Oʻahu includes residential, commercial, industrial, educational, and healthcare components.

Our Approach

As one of Hawaiʻi’s premier developers of communities and commercial properties, we approach planning with respect for Hawai‘i’s traditions and finite natural resources. By incorporating clean energy technologies and innovative community design that promotes non-motor traffic, Castle & Cooke embraces the principles of sustainability and smart growth. Looking forward, we remain committed to working closely with local residents, businesses, community organizations, and government agencies to develop new and forward-thinking communities designed to enhance the lives of those within and around our developments.

The Hawaiian government has good reason to legalize casinos. In addition to the obvious benefits to local tourism, it can also bring income to the struggling state's economy. However, it should be noted that the

will create a large number of new jobs. As a result, the Hawaiian gambling industry will be a great success. The issue of gambling in Hawaii has sparked much debate, especially after lawmakers rejected a proposal for a casino last year.
