The Queen Emma Foundation has more than enough $$$ for this foolhardy development, immediately to be in competition with
yet another large scale commercial development:

"If the Queen Emma Land Co. and TRG complete all the required planning and permitting on schedule to start construction in 2013, the project will happen at the same time Kyo-ya Co. Ltd. is expected to start work on its $700 million redevelopment of the neighboring Sheraton Princess Kaiulani and Westin Moana Surfrider hotels."

The dismissive reference to the beloved tropical environment and huts is abhorrent:

"The EIS preparation notice for the International Market Place project makes clear that the dated, obsolete structures need to be replaced in order “to be competitive in today’s dynamic retail and hotel markets serving Oahu and Waikiki generally."
