Plaza Assisted Living Considering Waikiki Location

Plaza Assisted Living currently has built three senior housing communities on Oahu and is now considering building an eight story complex in Waikiki.  The group is looking at a vacant lot across from the Hawaii Convention Center at 1812 Kalakaua Avenue.  Tentatively, the plan would be to build a 110,000 sq ft structure that would have about 140 studios and two-bedroom units.  The facility would offer rentals to seniors and provide comprehensive care services.

Jeff Merz, a Waikiki Neighborhood Board member, praised the concept and stated, "We gave the project a big thumbs-up.  We want to get a positive business in that location. That intersection has been awful for years. We think that this development will clean up the site and really the whole surrounding area.  Additional housing is very important for our community.  We like the idea that this infill development would be very walkable for the people who live there."
