A landmark agreement was reached between the State of Hawaii and Aloha Halawa District Partners (AHDP) to bring to life the New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District (NASED). This transformative project promises to redefine the Halawa area with a vibrant mix of housing, entertainment, and commercial spaces conveniently located near the rail line. 🏢🚇✨

A Visionary Team 📚💡⚒️
The AHDP partnership, spearheaded by Stanford Carr Development, LLC, is composed of renowned equity members including Development Ventures Group, Inc., Ameresco, Inc., and Aloha Stadium Community Development, LLC (The Cordish Company). The design will come to life with the expertise of RMA Architects, Populous, SB Architects, Henning Larsen, Alakea Design Group, and WCIT Architects. On the construction front, Hawaiian Dredging Construction Company, Inc. and AECOM Hunt will lead the charge, supported by other members Castle & Cooke Hawaii and Wilson Okamoto Corporation. 🌐🌿✨

What’s Coming 🌆🚜🍽️
A few days ago, Stanford Carr shared his vision for NASED embracing what he called "a new urbanism" on the 98-acre property. Highlights include:

• A state-of-the-art stadium built on the footprint of the old Aloha Stadium, targeting completion in time for the 2028 University of Hawaii football season.
• Approximately 4,000 residential units, ranging from workforce rentals to luxury homes.
• Thousands of square feet of commercial space, including retail, restaurants, and museums such as the Hawaii Music Hall of Fame.
• A 21st-century elementary school and other community amenities. 🏢🎨💰

A Dynamic Skyline 🌇🌲🎡
“Our goal is to have a choreography of building heights so that we create an interesting skyline,” said Carr. Building heights and densities will be strategically staggered, with taller towers surrounding the stadium to create a visually captivating environment. 🏡🕰️✨

Transformational Impact 🌟🍋🌞
"It’s exciting to see this whole area evolve where I once lived as a child and played amongst the sugar cane and waterways and then again later as a homeowner," says Ed Chong of ONE Pacific Realty. He continues, "This ambitious development will be a cornerstone for economic growth and a vibrant community hub, blending Hawaii’s rich culture with modern living." Stay tuned for updates as NASED progresses toward becoming a reality! 📊🌺✨
