Makamae

In 1987 Gentry Homes began construction on Soda Creek, part of approximately 1300 acres of land purchased from the Hirano Brothers and the James Campbell Estate. Today, it’s known collectively as the Ewa by Gentry master planned community. Thousands of families have benefited from Tom Gentry’s vision to provide high quality homes to local families at an affordable price. Thirty-four years have passed, and generations of Oahu families call Ewa by Gentry home. Makamae, a name meaning “most precious one,” will be the last offering in our community. Our Kahu suggested this name as we complete our founder’s mission and recognize the gravity of this occasion as precious indeed. How many marriages, births, celebrations, jobs, graduations, and all of life’s other precious moments have blossomed in this area that was once sugar cane?
