REITs deliver a wide array of benefits to communities throughout the islands, including quality-of-life improvements through better facilities and infrastructure, such as the state-of-the-art Hale Pawa'a Medical Building in Downtown Honolulu. REITs generate tax revenue that enables the government to deliver important services, and they also create jobs for people in the building trades, as well as in the offices and commercial spaces developed by REITs. In addition, REITs support a variety of non-profits and charitable organizations that provide essential social services.
