Ala Moana Center is currently undergoing a $572 million expansion project which will take approximately two years to complete. Prior to the expansion, Ala Moana Center had approximately 10,000 parking stalls for their guests, but that number was reduced by 2,000 stalls due to the project. In preparation for the holiday season, the mall will be renting out the parking structure of a neighboring office building on weekends for their employees as well as giving free bus passes to workers who agree not to park at the mall in December. Senior marketing manager at Ala Moana Center, Scott Creel, stated, "What we are hoping is that our customers will see that we're making every effort possible to accommodate for their visit. There's a lot of different moving parts, but we're hopeful that we'll all share in the positive sides of what will come from this. Construction in this particular case, we think, is a good thing, and it will be positive for the state, our residents and customers. We greatly appreciate our customers' patience."
