Waikoloa Flex Center

Flexible Commercial Space for Businesses Serving Waikoloa Village

The Waikoloa Flex Center is a new Class A mixed-use commercial development planned for the heart of Waikoloa Village on Hawaiʻi Island. Developed by Brown Development, the project is designed to support a wide range of light-industrial, service-commercial, medical, food, and neighborhood-serving retail uses in one of West Hawaiʻi’s fastest-growing communities.

The project has received County Final Plan Approval and will be located on Lot 5-A, immediately adjacent to significant new residential development currently underway or planned within Waikoloa Village.

Project Overview

  • Project Name: Waikoloa Flex Center

  • Location: Lot 5-A, TMK (3) 6-8-003:041

  • Zoning: MCX-20 (Industrial-Commercial Mixed Use)

  • Total Buildings (Full Buildout): 4

  • Total Units (Full Buildout): 89 commercial flex units

  • Total Building Area: 119,459 gross square feet

The Flex Center is planned as a low-coverage, campus-style commercial project offering modern, adaptable spaces that can accommodate both industrial-style operations and customer-facing commercial uses.

Phase 1 Development

Phase 1 will include:

  • One building (Building AB)

  • 32 flex units

Phase 1 establishes an initial commercial anchor for the project while allowing subsequent phases to respond to tenant demand and market conditions.

Versatile, Business-Ready Unit Design

Each unit is designed to support a broad range of business models, from light-industrial users to service-oriented commercial tenants:

  • Typical Unit Sizes:

    • Most units range from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet

  • Roll-Up Door for loading, deliveries, or back-of-house operations

  • Storefront Entrance suitable for customer-facing uses

  • Private Bathroom within each unit

  • Separate Electrical Meter

  • HVAC Prep for tenant-installed systems

  • Ceiling Heights:

    • Most units feature 20+ foot clear heights, allowing flexibility for storage, equipment, mezzanines, or open retail and service layouts

This design allows tenants to combine work, storage, office, and customer service functions within a single space.

Zoning Flexibility & Permitted Uses (MCX-20)

The project is zoned MCX-20, which is intended to encourage a diverse mix of compatible industrial and commercial uses in proximity to residential areas.

Permitted uses include, but are not limited to:

Light-Industrial & Trade Uses

  • Contractor shops and service trades

  • Warehousing and distribution

  • Light manufacturing, fabrication, and assembly

  • Equipment sales, rental, and repair

  • Storage and logistics operations

Service-Commercial & Community-Serving Uses

  • Medical and dental clinics

  • Outpatient healthcare and wellness services

  • Laboratories and research facilities

  • Professional offices

  • Neighborhood retail and service establishments

  • Restaurants, cafés, and food preparation uses

  • Specialty food production and commercial kitchens

This zoning flexibility allows the Waikoloa Flex Center to function as a true mixed-use commercial hub, supporting both employment and everyday community needs.

Supporting a Growing Residential Community

Waikoloa Village is undergoing sustained residential growth, driven by:

  • New multifamily and single-family housing development

  • Population growth tied to Kohala Coast employment centers

  • Limited availability of modern commercial space within the Village

As the local population grows, demand increases for:

  • Medical and healthcare services

  • Dining and food options

  • Personal and professional services

  • Local contractors, trades, and support businesses

The Waikoloa Flex Center is positioned to meet these needs by providing appropriately scaled, modern commercial space close to where people live and work.

Location Advantages

  • Central location within Waikoloa Village

  • Immediate proximity to new and planned residential communities

  • Convenient access from Waikoloa Road

  • Close to schools, retail, and neighborhood centers

This central placement allows businesses to efficiently serve both residents and the broader West Hawaiʻi region.
