Plan Suggested for 2.1 Acres Next to Kewalo Basin

Kewalo Waterfront Partners has proposed building a new complex on the 2.1 acre parcel located between Ala Moana Beach Park and Kewalo Basin.  Under their plan, the complex will feature several small restaurants, a jazz bar, a shopping arcade, a wedding chapel and a 250-stall parking garage.  The land is owned by the state of Hawaii and is operated by the Hawaii Community Development Authority.

Several harbor business owners are very unhappy with the proposal and believe that only maritime related facilities should be developed around Kewalo Basin.  HCDA spokeswoman, Lindsey Doi, mentioned that negotiations are still ongoing and nothing has been approved as of yet.  If lease terms are tentatively agreed to, it would still be subject two several public hearings as well as an environmental assessment.
