Kamehameha Schools has broached the idea of building a new shopping center on a vacant 4.5 acre parcel which is bordered by the Hawaii Kai Marina, Kalanianaole Highway and Keahole Street. The land is currently zoned as preservation land, but was once slated to be a commercial development, and Kamehameha Schools believes that they can get the land rezoned. The plan would be to build a Foodland Supermarket, several restaurants, a park, a dog park and a pedestrian promenade along the marina front. Members of the Hawaii Kai community gathered at a local elementary school to debate the proposal. While Hawaii Kai residents did agree that there is a need to open another supermarket in Hawaii Kai (there is currently only one), the majority argued that this 4.5 acre lot is not the place for it. Kamehameha Schools stated that they will consider the public’s input in their decision making process.
