Probably some zoning and other restrictions as well, plus Hawaiians usually have their issues with futher diggings. All good points. Nevertheless, seemingly there is more than enough space to allow for a low scale outdoor mall on Kalakau, include dedicated space for IMP kiosks, possibly around the Banyan tree. The carport can be placed on the Kuhio side. Realistically, the photo below suggests my thought, with the Banyan tree & IMP kioks in the middle, with the Pink Palace being the carpark.
