From the Honolulu Star-Advertiser (subscription required):

The city and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands are planning a land swap worth an estimated $30 million to provide the city with a site for a rail maintenance facility in Waipahu.

In exchange, Hawaiian Home Lands will get two parcels from the city totaling about 52 acres near the Varona Village plantation community in East Kapolei.

One of the two parcels included in the Varona property adjoins the site of the planned Ka Makana Ali‘i commercial complex, a $400 million project on 67 acres of agency land.
