New Retail Coming to Ewa Plain (a Honolulu suburb)
Property Development Centers (PDC) held a blessing and groundbreaking ceremony on Nov. 3 for its Laulani Village Shopping Center retail project in Ewa.
Located on the corner of Fort Weaver Road and Keaunui Drive, across from the Hawaii Prince Golf Club, the 20-acre project will include more than 218,000 square feet of retail space anchored by a 60,000-square-foot Safeway store and nearly 1,000 parking stalls. When fully built, it is anticipated to create 500 jobs.
We're excited to break ground on the Laulani Village Shopping Center … and begin work on this project, said David Zylstra, chief operating officer of Property Development Centers, at the groundbreaking ceremony. "This retail development will provide the Ewa community with an increase in jobs and a close, centralized option for their retail needs."
A total of 70 retailers and service providers, including home improvement, hardware, apparel, lifestyle and restaurants are expected to occupy the shopping center. A two-story office building will provide additional space for doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants and other professionals.
A new traffic signal and private driveway surrounding the site will provide an alternate means of entry and exit.
Being performed by Pankow, construction is expected to take 12 months. Oregon-based Benner Stange Associates is the architect.
A wholly owned subsidiary of Safeway, Inc., PDC is a national shopping center development company developing centers for and with Safeway as one of the major anchor tenants.

State files Environmental Impact Statement preparation notice for shipyard project - Kapalama
The State of Hawaii Department of Transportation (DOT), Harbors Division proposes to redevelop the Kapalama Military Reservation (KMR) property at Honolulu Harbor. Formerly owned by the U.S. government, the land was acquired by the State in the early 1990s for future harbor expansion. A new container terminal is proposed to handle current and projected cargo volumes.
Proposed Action and Alternatives
DOT Harbors Division, in partnership with the Hawaii Harbors User Group, has developed a system-wide harbor modernization plan. The plan will implement harbor infrastructure improvements to address projected increases in ocean transportation of cargo and passengers through the year 2030. Plans for Honolulu Harbor call for the development of a new 70-acre container yard and construction of a deep draft wharf with berthing capacity to accommodate two container ships.
An EIS will be prepared in accordance with Chapter 343, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to assess impacts of several development alternatives and the no action alternative. This website provides information to the public about the EIS, including the EIS planning process, public meeting schedule, links to planning documents, and a contact form to provide input on the proposed action.

The Hawaiian Homes Commission has approved the final environmental assessment for DeBartolo Development's plan to build a 1.4-million-square-foot regional shopping mall on 67.7 acres of leased Hawaiian Homes land in East Kapolei.
The commission’s approval will allow the construction of the first phase of the Ka Makana Alii project to move forward, Hawaiian Homes Commission Chairman Albert “Alapaki” Nahalea said in a statement.
The first phase, a neighborhood center with a grocery store and drugstore, encompasses 19.72 acres on the western portion of the property and will include a total of 200,681 square feet of building area. The second phase, which is scheduled to start before the end of the first phase, will have more than 1.1 million square feet.
Construction is estimated to cost a total of $400 million and create an estimated 21,000 jobs, the Hawaiian Homes Commission said in a statement. The shopping mall, when completed, will create an estimated 7,000 additional jobs.
The mall also will include a major department store, entertainment complex, retail stores, restaurants, two hotels and office space.
Tampa, Fla.-based DeBartolo will announce tenants “in the upcoming months,” President and Chief Operating Officer Edward Kobel said in a statement.
