I'm seriously starting to lose track of all the buildings proposed, approved or under construction in the city. The list just keeps growing and growing!

BlackSand Capital, partners plan multi-level tower for Waikiki retail site
The partnership between Honolulu-based BlackSandCapital, Kobayashi Group and The MacNaughton Group plans to replace the King's Village retail complex behind the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa with a mixed-use, multilevel tower that will include a 256-unit condominium hotel.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports the developers told the Waikiki Neighborhood Board Tuesday night that they plan to ask the Honolulu City Council to allow the project, which includes a 350-foot tower that exceeds the current 240-foot height limit as well as setback restrictions and density limits.
The developers also said they have agreed to contribute $500,000 for Waikiki beach replenishment, $200,000 to the city to help the homeless in Waikiki, $200,000 to help keep bathrooms open after 10 p.m. in Waikiki, and $100,000 for construction of improvements that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and a bathroom at the Waikiki Community Center.
