State officials and community leaders said that Obama - who plans to reside in the $8.7 million compound on Oahu's Waimanalo Beach in the future - saw this property purchased by close friend and chairman of the Obama Foundation board, Marty Nesbitt, in 2015.

ProPublica reports that permits indicate that three homes, two pools, and a security perimeter on the property are to be constructed, after tearing down an existing mansion on the site - a set used in the 1980s US television series "Magnum, P.I.".

Nesbitt, who also sits as a co-CEO of a Chicago-based private-equity firm, told ProPublica that he has taken steps “consistent with and informed by the analysis of our consultants, and the laws, regulations and perspectives of the State of Hawaii” and that any damage the structure may have caused to Waimnalao Beach occurred decades ago and "is no longer relevant".
