Our Story

Building Hawaii's
Heart

Masterpiece Construction & Development was founded on a simple belief: A house and a community can have a heart, and can last generations. In order to do this, we take the time to understand how the community moves, how they live, what they value, and what legacy they will leave behind — all before the pencil hits paper.

We ask: What becomes of it 20 years after the bulldozers are gone? Is it still Thriving and Beautiful? Do our Children Feel safe?

With deep roots in the Hawaiian Islands and a new expanding presence in San Antonio, Texas, we bring boutique-level attention to every project — from intimate custom residences to master-planned luxury communities. We navigate Hawaii's unique land conditions, entitlement hurdles, permitting landscape, and island building codes with confidence that only comes from years of hands-on experience.

Every project deserves to be a Masterpiece.

What We Build

Craftsmanship Across
Every Scale

From a single-family custom to the vision of an entire community, we bring the same uncompromising logic to every engagement.

Land Entitlement &
Ground Up MF/SF

Transforming raw land into buildable lots that set the stage for exceptional construction. We manage every step of the programming complexities — Environmental Impact, Traffic, Entitlement, County Approvals, FEMA, ACOE, Parks, Civil, Stormwater, all Utilities, School, Police and Fire — so that by the time a shovel breaks ground, the land is ready and the path is clear.

Our ground-up multifamily and single-family expertise means we don't just entitle land — we envision, design, and deliver the community from first concept to final certificate of occupancy. We have done it across Hawaii's most complex regulatory landscapes and emerged stronger every time.

Luxury Residential Subdivisions

Master-planned communities where every lot, road, and amenity is designed with resort-level intention. We develop neighborhoods where quality is the standard, not the exception — creating environments that hold their value and elevate the lives of everyone who calls them home.

Custom Tailored Home Building

Luxury residences designed around the way you live and the character of the land. Every detail — from the sightlines to the stonework — is deliberate and personal. We collaborate closely with you and your architect to bring a home to life that feels inevitable, as if it could only ever have been yours.

Kona TBA

Big Island, Hawaii

A 500+ lot single and multi-family residential community set against the dramatic volcanic hillside landscape of Hawaii's Big Island. This project was conceived with a singular vision: to create a neighborhood where the natural grandeur of the island is not just preserved but celebrated in every home, every view corridor, and every detail of the plan.

Designed for a mix of residents — buyers who understand that location and community is everything and quality is non-negotiable — this is our most ambitious project to date and a blueprint for future communities.

Kihei Village

South Maui, Hawaii

81 resort-style residential units in the heart of Kihei, South Maui — one of Hawaii's most sought-after coastal communities. Kihei Village reached 100% soft commitment from qualified buyers before a single shovel broke ground, a testament to the depth of demand for quality development in this premier location.

This project demonstrates exactly what disciplined underwriting and deep market knowledge can achieve: a community that was already home before construction began.

Kenolio Village

South Maui, Hawaii

A 240-unit affordable housing community in the heart of South Maui's Kenolio district — a culturally significant coastal landscape where an active estuary meets the Pacific. This project demands, and receives, the highest level of environmental stewardship: complex floodwater mitigation, estuary preservation protocols, and deep community stakeholder engagement are integral to our entitlement process.

South Maui needs housing. Kenolio Village is our commitment to building it responsibly — thoughtfully planned, culturally respectful, and designed to serve generations of Maui families.

Where We Build

The Islands
& Beyond

From the volcanic shores of the Big Island to Texas Hill Country, we bring the same standard of excellence to every location we create.

Big Island

Hawaii, HI

Our current home base. The Big Island's dramatic diversity — lava fields, lush rainforests, and oceanfront cliffs — demands builders who understand the land deeply. We do. Kona TBA is our signature project here.

Maui

Hawaii, HI

Maui's diverse terrain — from windward valleys to the sun-drenched West Side — calls for homes as carefully considered as they are beautifully built. Kihei Village and Kenolio Village represent our commitment to South Maui.

Oahu

Hawaii, HI

Our Roots. Over 20 years building on Oahu and maintaining thousands of homes for our military across all bases. Along with Single Family Resort Style Design, whether on the North Shore, the valleys of Kailua, or the slopes above Honolulu, we brought the same boutique approach to discerning neighborhoods.

San Antonio

Texas, TX

Masterpiece is growing. Texas Hill Country and San Antonio's expanding luxury market offer new opportunity for our model of deliberate, quality-driven development. The same standards. A new landscape.

Client Voices

What Our Clients
Say

"We interviewed multiple builders before choosing Masterpiece. The difference was immediately obvious — Chris actually listened. He asked questions no one else had thought to ask, and the result is a home that feels like it was designed just for us. Because it was."

"Chris and his team were hands on every step of the way on building a home designed by Bamboo Living Hawaii. He has a worldwide logistical reach that helped source materials from Vietnam, Malaysia, Mongolia and Guangzhou — items that save on cost without minimizing quality. It is hard to get things done on Maui, yet Chris — in true Hawaiian style — patiently handled every obstacle without drama and kept me informed throughout. I can't imagine trusting anyone else with a project like this. As they say, 'if you want something done, ask a busy person.' They exceeded my expectations."
