First Wyndham Grand in Hawaii Will be New, Oceanside Residential Resort

PARSIPPANY, NJ– Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, part of the Wyndham Worldwide family of companies (NYSE: WYN),  announced that the brand’s first new build project in Hawaii also will be the first to fly the Wyndham Grand® flag: a 322-unit luxury resort and residential development currently under construction on a 25-acre tract at Poipu Beach on the south shore of Kauai.

Koloa Landing at Poipu Beach Wyndham Grand Resort (bottom left rendering) is owned by Poipu Beach Villas LLC, a Salt Lake City-based consortium, and is being developed in multiple phases.

The general contractor is Layton Construction, also known locally as Resort Construction Managers, which has served the needs of commercial construction customers for nearly six decades. Azul Hospitality Group of San Diego, a hospitality management company specializing in full-service hotels and upscale resorts, will manage the property.

Construction began in June 2008. The project ultimately will include one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom luxury residences. Construction is expected to be completed on Phase One during the third quarter of this year, which the resort will celebrate with a grand opening. Phase One will include 85 luxury resort residences, two lagoon pools, fitness center and a dining and shopping marketplace.

“This will be an impressive addition to the Wyndham Grand Collection portfolio, which represents our most distinguished properties,” said Jeff Wagoner, (top right photo)  Wyndham Hotels and Resorts president.

“We are committed to expanding the Wyndham brand to provide our guests with the broadest choice of high-quality vacation opportunities in some of the most popular destinations in the world.”


“Customers are still seeking thoughtfully planned, high-end vacation opportunities in desirable locations like Kauai’s south shore, with luxurious resort amenities to complement their interests and lifestyle,” said Kent B. England, president of Poipu Beach Villas, LLC. “We are delighted to add the Wyndham Grand name to this spectacular resort, which will create an exciting new destination in the highly popular Hawaiian market.”
