Whoa! 34,500 SF of retail, 126 parking stalls, five food trucks with extra stalls - and lots more.
This is bigger than Haleʻiwa Store Lots built by Kamehameha Schools.
See "Renderings" below - all designed to attract tourism.
Act now -- sign the petition at the red button above!
If permits are issued, construction could begin within weeks or months - creating even more congestion at this busy area for our community,
update on City efforts to acquire the site
Mayor Blangiardi met with developer in Dec. 2023
and the Mayor conveyed the awesome news about the thousands of Oʻahu residents who signed the Petition in support of the City acquiring the property for the North Shore First Responder Center. Mahalo Mayor Blangiardi!
BUT the developer Hanapohaku LLC told the Mayor "no!" - "we are not willing to sell" - "we are committed to building the commercial mall" !!
What does it take to change the mind of a developer about the best interests of our community?
We will pursue what is pono for the North Shore and our first responders - our campaign is ramping up to ensure that the City acquires the parcels for this critical public purpose.
