Trinity Investments, a real estate firm originally based in Honolulu, has moved its headquarters to the Miami waterfront and now lists Miami as its primary base. The company’s Hawaiʻi portfolio has shrunk to a single property: the Westin Maui Resort & Spa Kaʻanapali.

The headquarters shift was first reported on Friday, by Pacific Business News. Trinity’s own website now shows Miami as its head office while still displaying a Honolulu address, signaling a formal corporate rebase rather than a complete pullout. Public-facing materials list active offices in both cities, underscoring that the Miami move formalizes a presence the company has been building in South Florida for several years.

Trinity continues to operate a Honolulu office with local staff, and local coverage says the firm still owns one hotel in Hawaiʻi. In June 2025, Hawaiʻi Public Radio reported that the Westin Maui Resort & Spa Kaʻanapali is Trinity’s only remaining Hawaiʻi asset, even as the firm has continued to scout for additional projects in the islands. Trinity has not yet clarified whether the headquarters relocation will alter how it operates in Hawaiʻi.

Growing roots in Miami

The Miami pivot has not exactly come out of nowhere. Trinity’s Florida footprint has been expanding for more than a year, through both property acquisitions and office leasing as the firm pushed deeper into East Coast markets. In 2024, Commercial Observer reported that Trinity had taken office space in Coconut Grove to support its growing portfolio in the region.

Those moves build on a series of sizable sales and renovations in other markets that have freed up capital for Trinity to redeploy. The pattern, reflected in the firm’s deal announcements and other communications, has been to cash out of certain long-held assets and recycle the proceeds into new ventures, including its growing Miami hub.

How Trinity describes the shift

Publicly, Trinity is framing the reshuffle as part of a broader platform upgrade rather than a simple change of address. In a recent press release about new business lines, the firm cast its evolution as deliberate and strategic: “Our ability to combine strategic vision with operational depth is what sets us apart,” Trinity stated. Business Wire carried the remarks in a release announcing expanded asset-management and development services tied to the company’s wider growth plans.

What it means for Hawaiʻi

For Honolulu, the loss of a corporate headquarters is as much about optics and influence as it is about office space. Senior executives being based in Miami instead of Hawaiʻi changes where top-level decisions and day-to-day dealmaking are centered, even if a Honolulu team and at least one major island property remain.

Local coverage has also highlighted Trinity’s role in high-profile asset sales that have helped bankroll its expansion. One example is the sale of the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa, a deal that underscored the kind of large transactions fueling the firm’s broader strategy; the sale details appeared on Nasdaq.

All told, the headquarters move cements Miami as the place where Trinity now does much of its business, while Hawaiʻi holds on as a smaller but still visible piece of the portfolio. For those tracking which firms still have skin in the game in the islands, coverage from Pacific Business News and the company’s public filings remain among the most useful guides to Trinity’s shifting footprint.
