ometimes things aren't easy to explain. Consider
kendama, or baseball's Red Sox winning a World
Series, or a Hollywood actor ascending to the White
House. Consider, too, the humble farm boy from Maui-
where the tallest building still rises only 140 feet above
ground-who has become one of Hawaii's pre-eminent real
estate developers.
Last month, a pair of highly regarded Honolulu organizations honored Stanford Carr with their most prestigious
awards. "I couldn't believe it," he says. Carr's calling card
is a commitment to blending creative planning and architecture with the physical beauty and cultural diversity of
Hawaii into his projects, from master-planned communities
to resort-style living to affordable housing.
As president of Stanford Carr Development LLC, he has
built nearly 4,000 households in the Islands since launching
the company in 1988 and incorporating it in 1990. "When

have no fear. My favorite motto was 'no guts, no glory!'
So I jumped into it in 1988, starting with entitling land in
Kauai, from light industrial to multifamily."
In May he picked up the Lifetime Achievement Award
from the Commercial Real Estate Development Association
(NAIOP) of Hawaii and the Salesperson of the Year Award
from Sales and Marketing Executives International (SMEI)
of Honolulu. Over the years his projects have included the
Hawaii Kai Peninsula, The Colony at the Peninsula, Iwalani,
Trovare, Kekuilani, Maili Transitional Housing, Halekauwila
Place, Franciscan Vistas and Master Plan Royal Kunia Phase
II. The industry got an early peek at the developer that Carr
would become with his Pukalani Fairway Estates on Maui
winning "Best in Show-Neighbor Islands" in the Building
Industry Association (BIA) of Hawaii's 1992 Parade of Homes.
Next up for the 52-year-old Carr is Keauhou Lane,
"our mixed-use development, encompassing the block of
Halekauwila, Keawe, Pohukaina and South streets."
