Maui Lu goes timeshare

I think it is finally going to happen, we just received a certified letter today from the Maui planning commission, The Maui Lu which has been in ruins for years and is sadly run but Aston Resorts is slated for 400 time share units. Although I am not a time share person this will be very good for the area.

The resort will be totally reconstructed including adding recreational facilities.

Not sure if anyone is really interested in this but for those of us who own units in the area it is big news. And for those of you who have ever seen how sadly run down the resort is I think you%26#39;ll find it interesting. It is so sad to me that somebody didn%26#39;t buy the resort and refurbish it the way it once was. But land is land.

Thanks for your update on the Maui Lu. A number of yrs ago we stayed in one of the oceanfront units of the Maui Lu and it was quite pleasant. I remember walking across their lawn to the Longhouse for dining. How sad that it was allowed to deteriorate and I agree that it%26#39;s better to go timeshare than descend into an even worse condition. Do you know if any of the buildings will be saved or is it going to be a complete teardown?

Maui Lu goes timeshare

Do you know why the owners of the Maui Lu allowed the property to deteriorate into such a sad state? Who are the owners? And I always wondered why Aston would be associated with this property? Is it possible that Aston are the owners?

I actually do not know who the owners are or were, I do know that The Genesee Corporation has aqquired the property and July twelth there will be a public planning meeting. Unfortunately we are returning July 5th and will not be able to attend.

I am not sure if they are planning on preserving any of the existing buildings, I seriously doubt it. I heard talk of restaurants and an activity center on the ocean side and with 400 units going in it sounds as if they will just doze everything.

I do know it can take a long time for these plans to actually go into effect on Maui but receiving this letter today intrigued me and makes me think things are definately getting underway. Of course this will also be an open time for anyone to file concerns over the developing of the property so that could slow it up more. I am giving it several more years at the rate things happen there.

Again though, I am sad that the property is in such a state, it could be the ideal place to stay if it had been maintained properly. The redevelopement will clean up the area though.
