Company Overview

Founded in 1870 by Samuel T. Alexander and Henry P. Baldwin as a sugarcane plantation on Maui, Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (NYSE: ALEX) today operates as a Hawai‘i-focused real estate investment trust headquartered in Honolulu. The company transitioned from its agricultural origins into a diversified real estate owner, operator and developer, completing its conversion to a REIT structure in late 2019 to align its corporate governance with its core property portfolio.

Through its A&B Properties subsidiary, the firm engages in ground leasing, property management and development of mixed-use shopping centers, business parks and multifamily housing projects. The company also pursues strategic joint ventures to enhance asset performance and deliver amenities that reflect Hawaii’s cultural and environmental values.

Beyond its commercial holdings, A&B retains significant agricultural land assets, leveraging its century-old water-management expertise and long-term lease agreements with local growers. These lands support diversified crop production, ranching activities and conservation efforts that contribute to regional sustainability. Guided by a leadership team with deep experience in island economics and community development, Alexander & Baldwin continues to steward natural resources and generate value for shareholders throughout Hawai‘i’s unique real estate landscape.
