DD. A management structure specific to commercial office buildings in Hawaii

Explanation

Common interest communities include condominiums (governed by HRS Chapter 514B), planned unit developments with HOAs (governed by HRS Chapter 421J), and cooperatives. Each has shared common elements, mandatory membership in the association, governing documents (CC&Rs, bylaws, rules), and the ability to levy assessments. Hawaii's strong growth of multi-family housing has expanded CIC management.
