Former Military Barracks at Barbers Point May Become Affordable Rental Apartments

A private developer is requesting permission to convert a former military barracks at the old Barbers Point Naval Air Station into affordable rental apartments.  The barracks, known as Building 77, is currently abandoned and consists of 204 vacant studios with shared bathrooms.  Under the proposal, the space will be completely redone into 500 sq ft one-bedroom apartments.  Residents who earn between 80 to 140 percent of Honolulu's median income will be allowed to submit applications.  In community in general is very supportive of the renovation project and believe the current building is an eyesore.
