ASSET MANAGEMENT

Stanford Carr

On the slopes of Haleakala, in the quaint Maui town of Kula, an eleven year old boy by the name of Stanford Carr, tended to his farm with a sense of passion and excitement. Stanford’s love of the land led him to spend his time both after school and on weekends cultivating his very own plot of vegetables. To his surprise, the plot of land he had been caring for was not the only thing thriving, his work ethic was too. Through the course of growing and selling vegetables he had the realization that in life what one puts into a project is exactly what one is going to get out of it. He learned at the budding age of eleven, you reap what you sow.

As Stanford’s life progressed, his love for the land guided him to be one of Hawaii’s top developers. A desire to enhance Hawaii’s various landscapes with his master-planned communities resulted in the creation of Stanford Carr Development LLC.

Recognition

Our development approach has garnered both local and national recognition including 14 western national awards from the Pacific Coast Builders Conference and numerous awards from the Hawaii Building Industry Association's Annual Parade of Homes event including the Grand Champion Award.
