New housing development planned at former Saint Francis School campus
The former Saint Francis School site in Manoa appears destined to become housing after fizzled acquisition efforts by the University of Hawaii and the state Department of Education.
Local development firm Avalon Group recently purchased the property for $23.35 million, according to brokerage firm CBRE representing the Sisters of St. Francis of the Neumann Communities, which closed the private Catholic school in 2019 after nearly a century of operation.
