Kamehameha School has announced that they will be placing their plans to build a new Hawaii Kai shopping center on hold for the foreseeable future. The 4.5 acre property, known as the Kuapa gateway Parcel, is located across from Maunalua Bay and is currently zoned as preservation land. In order for the land to be redeveloped a zoning change would have been required. Honolulu City Councilman Stanley Chang, who represents East Oahu, stated that he believes the suspension is indefinite. Chang added, "I applaud Kamehameha Schools' showing its commitment working closely with the community and heeding the community's concerns. There are no existing plans to proceed with development of the property at this time." Additional details should be forthcoming.
