State approves developer for New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The redevelopment of Aloha Stadium is moving forward.

The state announced Thursday an agreement with Aloha Halawa District Partners (AHDP) to develop the New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District (NASED) with housing and mixed-use projects near the rail line.

It was the only group to offer a formal bid before the July 1 deadline.

ADHP is a partnership of companies with experience in stadium construction, management, housing and commercial development:

• Development Ventures Group, Inc., Stanford Carr Development, LLC, Ameresco, Inc., and Aloha Stadium Community Development, LLC (The Cordish Company) as the lead equity members;
• RMA Architects, Populous, SB Architects, Henning Larsen, Alakea Design Group, and WCIT Architects as the design team;
• Hawaiian Dredging Construction Company, Inc. and AECOM Hunt as the construction team; and
• Castle & Cooke Hawaii and Wilson Okamoto Corporation as other team members.

The state will now enter into the diligence and discussion phase to finalize negotiations, during which AHDP will present its plan to the community and gather feedback.

Officials say the stadium should be ready for the University of Hawaii’s 2028 college football season.
