Ocean Pointe is a housing development and a census-designated place (CDP) located in the ʻEwa District and the City & County of Honolulu on the leeward side of Oʻahu in Hawaiʻi about fifteen miles (24 km) from Honolulu.
Sugar cane is no longer grown on the ʻEwa Plain and Ocean Pointe is now part of Oʻahu's new suburban growth center—an area of substantial sprawl spreading unbroken to the south to ʻEwa Beach, north to Honouliuli, and west to Kalaeloa and Kapolei.
The developer, Haseko Corporation, bought the community's 1,100 acres (450 hectares) of land "in 1988 and sold its first homes a decade later.
[10] 1,800 homeowners filed a class-action lawsuit against Haseko in July 2013, claiming the developer's change in plans regarding the marina affected their property values.
[11] In September 2015, a jury ruled that Haseko must pay the plaintiffs millions of dollars in damages, including $1,300 per household (tripled to nearly $4,000 because of its being a consumer protection case); Haseko questioned authorization of the punitive damages award and said it planned to appeal the judgment.
[13][14] Wai Kai, a water recreation and entertainment facility featuring a large wave pool, opened at the site in March 2023.
[15] Safeway developed the Laulani Village Shopping Center on 20 acres (8.1 ha) of land at the northeastern tip of the CDP.
[18] City Mill, a chain of Oʻahu hardware stores, co-anchors the shopping center.
[22] Construction of a 12,000-square-foot (1,100 m2) replacement ʻEwa Beach Fire Station began in Ocean Pointe in late 2010 after a groundbreaking in October 2008;[23][24] the project was built on 1 acre (0.40 ha) of donated land at the northeast corner of Keoneʻula Boulevard and Kaileoleʻa Drive[25] and opened with a dedication ceremony on January 29, 2013.
