Albert C. Kobayashi, Inc.: Trump Tower Waikiki JANUARY 10 www. bus- ex. com 85 Very much aimed at the luxury end of the market, the tower features an extravagant two- story lobby, a full- service spa, signature restaurants and pools with cabanas. Breathtaking outdoor glass elevators carry residents to their rooms, while the sixth floor features an unusual cascading waterfall. Each of the condo and hotel units has a panoramic view of the ocean and nearby Fort DeRussy Park. The units come fully furnished, and the condos were offered with a choice of either koa wood, granite or marble finish. The kitchen in each apartment is fully equipped and boasts top- of- the- line Sub- Zero and Wolf appliances. To complete the picture, a range of luxury services are provided including round- the- clock concierge service, 24- hour room service, and valet and porter services. The $ 350 million, 38- story building was constructed Moving forward to the present, the company completed an 115,846- square- foot single- story retail complex in Kapolei in 2009. The complex was built using tile- up construction methods and fitted out for the Sports Authority, Office Max, PETCO, and Ross Dress for Less retail chains. Also completed this year was the Maryknoll Community Center at the Maryknoll Elementary School campus in Honolulu. The center includes a gymnasium, underground parking, athletic locker rooms, classrooms, meeting rooms and administrative offices. The gem in the company's portfolio of recent developments, however, is the new Trump Tower Waikiki. It is not only a fitting addition to the area's exclusive skyline, but it's the only new high- rise tower and five- star project to be built on the world- famous beach in 25 years. The Trump Tower is the cornerstone of a $ 1 billion redevelopment of the Waikiki Beach Walk area. Covering some eight acres of prime space, the Waikiki Beach Walk Project is the largest hotel, retail and entertainment complex ever built in the history of the area and includes an outdoor entertainment plaza, 40 retail outlets, six restaurants and four hotels. Set upon a five- story pedestal housing a 232- space parking facility along with dining facilities and retail space, Trump Tower rises to a height of 350 feet, looking down on the properties that surround it and comprising the Trump International Hotel and condominiums. A total of 464 units have been built, ranging from single- bedroom studios to two- and three- bedroom apartments, the largest of which has a massive 3,000 square feet of floor space. Dorvin D.
