HONOLULU | 690 Pohukaina | FT | FLOORS | Two Towers
I found this today. I couldn't find a thread for it so I created one. Pretty interesting if you ask me. It's old but it fits in.
Kakaako project would include Hawaii’s tallest building By Janis L. Magin, Managing Editor of Digital Content Date: Wednesday, October 26, 2011 http://assets.bizjournals.com/pacifi..._story.jpg?v=1 Quote:

Nice to see Hawaii getting some height. :tup:
|
So somebody took the Google Earth model of the Gas Company Tower in LA, stretched it, put it on a blog, and now it's a legit proposal?
WTF? |

It does look like someone stretched the gas company tower, but I like it, Hawaii needs a 200 meter building! Honolulu has a lot of highrises but no real skyscrapers, hope it's built!

I think the building in the rendering is just a place holder to show what a 200 meter would look like, and is not an indication of the actual design.

Something is amiss. Source on the architect? Methinks maybe some newspaper intern took a building from Google Earth to make a diagram of what it would look like size-wise and it got published. *EDIT* So I was close... According to the article from Bizjournals, this is a state redevelopment agency project that hasn't even gone out for RFP yet. So in this case as of right now, THERE IS NO DEVELOPER, NO ARCHITECT, NO DESIGN, just an idea. There will be if the state can make a development partnership work out money-wise, but until then this is little more than pie-in-the-sky. So change 'newspaper intern' to 'state redevelopment agency intern' who is responsible for the hack-job. |

I haven't updated this in a long time, but I found out that 8 months ago they picked Forest City & Ratner Architects for this project. Their proposal looks like this.

That first one looks awesomely futuristic. The 2nd one doesn't look half bad either.
