27 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 5 ROYAL CONTRACT ING CO. LTD Homes, Royal Contracting built lots for about 3500 homes from about 1990 to 2003. Two years ago, Castle & Cooke started another project that is scheduled to last for 10 years. That also has about 3500 homes with commercial areas, an industrial park, and other facilities including schools and parks.
