Last year, she acquired the Davies Pacific Center for $96 million and is redeveloping it into a mixed-use building of offices and apartments.

Twenty-two floors of the building are now a residential component, known as Modea. Units went on sale in March. In all, there will be 352 units, ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments.

Avalon also acquired a block fronting Fort Street Mall for $10 million and has invested another $39 million into the property.

The plan is for a 300-unit high-rise as well as a 22,000-square-foot science lab for Hawaiʻi Pacific University. Construction is underway for the science lab.

Camp is also consulting with Catholic Charities Hawaiʻi for an affordable senior housing project at the top of Fort Street Mall.

Called Hale Kamiano, the project will create 67 units of rentals for seniors making 30% to 60% of the area median income.
