Challenges

Kona Kai is on a narrow peninsula, so we had to work with the Harbor Authority because part of our construction went into the bay. The structures that were already built were failing; Once we had pulled the boardwalk by the pool off, we saw that the bay had eroded the structure. The site work was definitely tougher than the building.

Results

  • Two new buildings containing 41 guestrooms: 8 deluxe, 33 luxury.
  • A new pool and event area totaling 25,000 s.f.
