It looks like the construction is complete and the area looks like a generic resort.

One thing that caught my attention in the article is a business called "Freaky Tiki Tropical Optical". I always like to see the tiki represent itself in other forms than restaurants and bars but when you but a quick Google search http://www.waikikibeachwalk.com/shop_details.aspx?shopid=16 led to this description-

Enjoy the comfort and luxury of Maui Jim, Oakley, Von Zipper, Prada, Versace, Arnette and many more. The Freaky Tiki represents the ancient South Seas god of fun and sunshine. A counteragent in this modern world of plastic and chrome, he is a carved native idol symbolizing your successful escape from civilization. Unleash your suburban savage and experience the island style that is Freaky Tiki, your authentic Tropical Optical oasis. Welcome to paradise!

"A counteragent in this modern world of plastic and chrome" now why does that sound familiar?
