Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned respectively requests that the effective date of the above-referenced Registration Statement be accelerated to 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on June 11, 2010, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby acknowledges that:

 

   

should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

 

   

the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 

   

the Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
