Kamehameha Schools Plans to Create Retail Complex in Kakaako Called SALT

Kamehameha Schools has announced that they would like to renovate several old buildings in Kakaako and create a new retail complex.  The project is currently being called SALT and would bordered by Ala Moana Boulevard, Coral Street, Keawe Street and Auahi Street.  It is estimated that there will be a total of 84,000 sq ft of leasable space for 50 tenants.  Kamehameha Schools is currently seeking a variance from the Hawaii Community Development Authority to allow them to construct a six-story 65-foot tall parking garage, which would be higher than than the currently allowed 45 height limitation.

The Hawaii Community Development Authority is the state agency responsible for regulating development in Kakaako.  They will be holding a community input meeting on July 3, 2013 to hear Kamehameha School's presentation as well as public testimonial at 10:00 am at 461 Cooke Street.
