The Hawaiʻi State Department of Accounting and General Services and the Stadium Authority announced the approval of Aloha Halawa District Partners (AHDP) as the preferred offerers for the New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District (NASED) on Oct. 21.
“The Governor has made it clear that it’s important for our state to have a quality stadium. We have achieved another major milestone working toward that in the NASED process thanks to the commitment and effort by AHDP and the NASED project team,” said Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism Director James Kunane Tokioka in a press release.
The next phase will be finalizing negotiations for technical matters. Agreements are projected to be finalized by summer 2025, after which NASED will perform outreach to surrounding community members and stakeholders to present their proposal and receive feedback.
“We encourage the community to participate in AHDP’s outreach process to fully understand the details of the proposal, the new Aloha Stadium and the surrounding entertainment district,” said Brennon Morioka, Stadium Authority chair, in the release.
AHDP consists of Development Ventures Group Inc., Stanford Carr Development LLC, Ameresco Inc. and Aloha Stadium Community Development LLC (The Cordish Company) as lead equity members; RMA Architects, Populous, SB Architects, Henning Larsen, Alakea Design Group and WCIT Architects as the design team; Hawaiian Dredging Construction Company Inc. and AECOM Hunt as the construction team; and Castle & Cooke Hawai‘i and Wilson Okamoto Corporation.
The NASED remains on track to open in time for the 2028 University of Hawaiʻi football season. AHDPʻs proposal details are currently confidential, but will be made public through the community outreach process.
