From then until 1989, A&B developed several condominium complexes, a few residential subdivisions, hotels, and two golf courses.

In 1989, the 927 acres of undeveloped land and the golf courses of the resort were sold to Shinwa Golf Group of Japan, who continued the development of Wailea with three condominium complexes, two residential subdivisions and two golf courses.

In 2003, A&B purchased the remaining 270 undeveloped acres of the Wailea Resort and the three golf courses in partnership with Golf BC Group, a Vancouver based company. In 2006 Ron Allred, co-developer of the Telluride Resort, purchased a 51% interest in the Wailea Blue Golf Course and is expected to remodel the course, partially privatize it, and build a clubhouse.
