The planned Atlantis resort at Ko Olina Resort & Marina will have roughly 800 hotel rooms and 524 residences, according to an announcement today that adds a few details to the previously publicized project.
An affiliate of developer China Oceanwide Holdings Ltd. said the project on 26 acres of beachfront land also will have an aquarium, a water park, restaurants, bars, retail boutiques, a beach club, a spa, a fitness centre and event space.
China Oceanwide, a Chinese company that bought the development site in September for $280 million, announced the details in partnership with Kerzner International Holdings Ltd. Kerzner will manage the property under its Atlantis brand.
The two companies did not provide any projected development cost or timetable. However, Jeff Stone, Ko Olina’s master developer who orchestrated the land sale, previously said Atlantis Ko Olina is a roughly $1.5 billion project that could start construction in mid-2017 and be finished two years later.
build it higher and add more rooms……….the City needs money for Rail
who will manage this property?
Allie, the connection is SunCity in S Africa and Atlantis in I think it’s Bermuda, an island the Kerzners bought from Hunt Hartford, If my memory serves me right. The lands are those of your favorite royal Abigail, which the scottish side of the kalakaua clan took from the native side of the clan.The Kerzners are the ones building the palm tree shaped land reclamation project in what is it Qatar? They also own the Sun gaming brand, as in Mohegan Sun. They are or were hooked up with the Inouye mobsters back in the day.
$280mil?? Seems like the Chinese got it at a STEAL!
Anyway, don’t expect any of those visitors and timeshare owners to NOT have rental cars and private vehicles. And can you just imagine mainland Chinese people behind the wheel EVERY morning funneling out out to sightsee and every evening going back for dinner, shopping and drinking??? (I can…I KNOW how they drive over there)
Rail Fail
Awesome news! Yet another hotel that I cannot afford even one night to stay!
I am more concerned about the 524 residential units that will put 1000’s more people on the road each day.
More reason to speed up the metro project!
Not gong to work!
I suppose you expect the owners of these new homes to walk or bike to Rail. What a joke!
GREAT !! More stress on our limited natural resources…FRESH WATER.. !!!!
You got that right. Local politicians will do anything to dip their beaks at the public’s expense. The islands have been devastated by their greed, and there is no end in sight.
524 residences may seem ok but hotel rooms might be in jeopardy. Latest four season aren’t having many visitors knocking at their doors! Most tourist still prefer Waikiki! Locals would be ideal to fill those rooms but who in their right minds would spend big moola to stay there?
What a nightmare. I can’t believe we allow this. No spine.
Jobs,jobs,jobs….like peotus said.
Money , Money, Money for politicians!
Go for it whack out the aina but maybe your going to loose your pants doing it.
In their name it says Marina – so where is it?
“youngblood:”, Itʻs all the way at the end of Koolina that they closed off to local people. For the elite foreigners and outsiders only, “locals go home”…..Oh forgot this is our home…”Locals get out of here”.
West side properties going up. The marina being developed for cruise ship port(including Disney). Best beaches on Oahu. Glad I got in 25 years ago. Now my acreage will $$$ in value. Old Chinese realtor said” Buy where people fear. Fear can always be defeated”.
I grew up on O’ahu and saw the writing on the wall years ago – I packed up and moved to the Big Island this year. I meet quite a few O’ahu natives that left as well. I am not looking back, except to visit my family and friends.
The City and County as well as the state have DESTROYED a beautiful island – stretching and compromising the natural resources of my beloved home. All in the name of MONEY!
Could not bring myself to move to the mainland, the Big Island is Hawaii nei!
A wise transition!
Has this project been approved to be built?
Remember when this area was just kiawe trees?
No worries….in 50 years of so, climate change/rising tides will impact all Hawaii coastal areas, .so all low lying beach areas, homes, hotels, will have the ocean and high tides wiping out any property in the impacted areas….Hawaii will be kaput without its beaches and walkable coast lines…
Let the Chinese spend their money…
