A blessing of the grounds will kick off construction of the second phase of Ka Makana Ali‘i in West Oahu, though as one of the largest regional malls to be constructed the U.S. in the past five years, the ground is already hallowed in real estate circles.
The Grove at Ka Makana Ali‘i, according to owners DeBartolo Development, will serve as a gathering place in the fast-growing community, which is expected to complete the building of 80,000 new homes by 2025.
Such growth inspired DeBartolo to construct the 1.4 million-sq.-ft. enclosed mall that opened there in 2016. The Grove will add 109,000 sq. ft. of restaurants and services, among them Foodland Farms, Hawaii Pacific Health, and PetSmart, said Rich Hartline, VP of development for DeBartolo.
“Having a locally owned grocery store and innovative clinic within the Center will position Ka Makana Ali‘i as a premiere destination for the Ewa and Kapolei neighborhoods,” said DeBartolo development VP Rich Hartline.
The mall houses 125 tenants, including H&M, Victoria’s Secret, Old Navy, Sephora, Applebee’s, and California Pizza Kitchen.
