In August 3013, the Honolulu Community Development Authority granted local developer Alexander & Baldwin the right to build a 43-story condominium tower project in Kakaako called The Collection at 600 Ala Moana. In September 2013, members of the condominium owners association of One Waterfront Towers, a neighboring building, and nonprofit organization Kakaako United filed an appeal with the HCDA to make the permit invalid. On Wednesday, the HCDA has decided that they will not consider the appeal at all and that the permits are still valid, due to the fact agency rules and state law won't allow the agency to entertain an appeal of a development permit after public hearings and a board decision.
The petitioners stated that they may now appeal the case to Circuit Court.
