New high rises coming to Kakaako

Plans are under way to build new affordable high rises in Kakaako.

The high rises would be located at 699 Pohukaina Street near the Mother Waldron playground.

Two developers, Forest City Hawaii and Lend Lease, recently submitted their proposals.

"There will be different people living in these buildings and different uses of within retail and residential community spaces," Forest City Hawaii President Jon Wallenstrom said.

Lend lease sent the following statement: "We’re eager to receive input from the community and look forward to thoroughly addressing and taking into consideration the community’s concerns and suggestions throughout the planning process."

A public hearing will be held on Nov. 20 and both developers will present their proposals.

The Hawaii Community Development Authority hopes to select a developer in December.
