A new condominium project on Kapiolani Boulevard, named Kuilei Place, has had its permit package approved by the Honolulu City Council. The mixed-use project will be on a 3-acre parcel on Kapiolani Boulevard, near Date Street.

As housing demand remains strong in Honolulu, the experts expect additional condominium projects to be considered for expedited approval in 2023.

Straub Medical Center kicked off its 15-year redevelopment plan this week. The first phase, scheduled for completion in 2026, will begin with the demolition of current structures on-site and conclude with a new parking structure with increased capacity, rooftop garden area, and a conference center. The new flagship medical center is scheduled for completion in 2031, with the total project finished by 2036.

As the need for medical services continue to grow on the islands, Hawaii Pacific Health has been expanding its medical presence on Oahu with additional clinics and re-developed medical campuses.
