Iwilei Redevelopment Takes Shape | Honolulu News

The city is transforming Iwilei into a vibrant, transit-connected neighborhood with affordable housing and shops, starting with the $51.5M purchase of the Iwilei Center—right next to the new Kuwili Skyline Station. Part of a 17-acre vision around Dillingham Boulevard, the project aims to unlock thousands of homes, revitalize local energy, and link residents to downtown and Chinatown. With federal grants, expert planning for flooding and infrastructure, and plans to acquire more land—including the old Tony’s Gas site—the city is moving fast, with demolition slated for mid-2027. Already investing $125M nearby, this is a long-term bet on public land and community-driven growth. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
