Market
Positioning.
With a marketplace of just under 1,000,000 people, Honolulu,
particularly the primary urban core center, has a void in
several key merchandise categories. Customers are still spending
great amounts of money off-island. Major retailers have looked
at the market and found all of the other "urban center" sites
are prohibitively expensive. The Shops at Dole Cannery will
fill this market void for key retail categories such as bed,
bath and home products, value-priced apparel, toys, wholesale
club, mass merchandise, and electronics.
Largest
Land Area.
The Shops at Dole Cannery can deliver 750,000 square feet
of retail space primarily on grade. With an effective parking
ratio of five stalls per 1,000 square feet GLA, this is the
largest tract of vacant land currently available in the Honolulu
urban core.
Strategy
Already in Motion.
A project of 150,000 square feet by another developer was
built at a cost in excess of $30 million.
Castle & Cooke intends to create Honolulu's only urban power
center including dominant value and entertainment tenants.
Home Depot, Regal Dole Cannery 18 Theatres and Best Buy have fully
executed leases that provide the foundation to develop a fully
integrated value and entertainment center.
Efficiency.
The Shops at Dole Cannery has one of the lowest operating
expenses of retail centers in Hawaii, currently operating
at $0.60 per square foot per month.
Supply
Constrained Market.
Due to the lack of space and high cost of retail development,
the landlord's long-term ownership position allows them to
offer this very affordable alternative within the urban core.
Visitor
Component.
Tourists follow local customers' lead to the best and most
interesting shopping destinations. With historical significance
and attraction, the Cannery will deliver both East and Westbound
visitors to the project which is expected to comprise 20%
to 30% of sales.
