The new developer was quoted as saying

"We are honored to have been selected by Queen Emma Land Company to explore redevelopment of the International Market Place, a retail shopping destination with a long history in Hawaii," said Stephen J. Kieras, senior vice president of development for Taubman. "This popular area will be revitalized with destination retail and dining for tourists and residents alike, and will complement the surrounding area to reflect the local Hawaiian sense of place."

I can only be optimistic after that statement that they acknowlege that there is histoy to the place and that it will continue to have a local flavor.
