Hawaii can be a gold mine for developers, but sometimes the gold takes some digging to find.

MB Property Acquisitions missed a payment deadline, after three extensions, on its offer to buy the site of the Atkinson YMCA.

The plan had been to redevelop the site, accommodating both upgraded Y facilities and a 128-unit condo tower.

Those who think that the property was underutilized, and that the community could benefit from better recreational amenities of the Y, hope this deal can be saved.
