In 1897, a group of businessmen purchased

government. They opened a ranch on the property,
and they raised cattle, horses, mules, and sheep.
They leased some of their property to

was a privately owned company until the 1980's,

Real Estate Developments at Molokai Ranch
Laau Point Development Project
The Molokai Properties plan to build a $200 million,
1432 development at Molokai's La'au Point has generated
a lot of controversy. One of the goals of the Laau Point
Development Project is to finance remodeling and reopening
the Kaluakoi Resort on Molokai. The Molokai Ranch
has been losing money in recent years and the developers
say without the Laau Point project they may be forced
to break the ranch up into smaller parcels and sell them.
In change for developing Laau Point, the Molokai Ranch
agreed to give more then 50,000 acres to the community,
which includes 15 milse of undeveloped shoreline.
