REI Development: Committed to Rebuilding Lahaina, HI

Restoring a Community Close to Our Heart

At REI Development, we are embarking on a meaningful initiative with a profound sense of purpose: helping to rebuild the community of Lahaina, HI, after the devastating fire that struck in the fall of 2023. This tragedy has deeply impacted the island, and for us, this project holds personal significance.

Our Co-Founder and COO, Jordan Daugherty, has strong ties to the island of Maui and Lahaina. Over the past 30 years, Jordan has spent countless days on the island, visiting family and experiencing the unique culture and beauty of Maui. His connection to the island makes this effort to restore Lahaina not just another project, but a mission close to our hearts.

Rebuilding Responsibly with Local Collaboration

Though we are based in Missouri, we understand the importance of minimizing our footprint in Lahaina during this critical time. Our approach is simple: we will work alongside the people of Maui, utilizing local subcontractors, laborers, and materials as much as possible to support the island’s economy and to ensure that housing remains available for those directly affected by the fire. By collaborating with local businesses, we aim to reduce the strain on the community while providing the expertise necessary for this significant rebuilding effort.
