Rebuilding Historic Lāhainā Town
The Construction Magazine of Hawai’i buildingindustryhawaii.com
Publisher Amanda Canada amanda@trademediahui.com Senior Editor Jason Genegabus jason@trademediahui.com Associate Editors
The wildfires that tore through Lāhainā on Aug. 8 left an indelible mark. At press time, more than 97 people lost their lives, with more than 37 still unaccounted for and more than 11,000 residents displaced by the fire that caused at least $5.5 billion in damages. While we mourn the incredible loss of life and property, a grim reality is already setting in: Maui must rebuild. It’s a monumental task with unique challenges. First and foremost, trust is paramount. Industry professionals must be prepared to go above and beyond to ensure contractors are licensed, insured and backed by a solid track record in order to build trust. Failing to do so not only jeopardizes the quality of Lāhainā’s rebuild — it tarnishes our industry’s image. Builders will likely need to navigate a maze of regulatory hurdles as well. It will be important for the community to consider whether new zoning laws or building codes are needed, and staying abreast of these changes will be essential for contractors, architects and planners to ensure new structures meet updated guidelines and regulations. A lack of awareness or understanding could lead to costly delays, or even worse, legal repercussions. Another important issue to consider is material costs and availability. A surge in demand may lead to increased prices and scarcity of materials. This will require thoughtful planning by builders. And then there’s the question of labor. Does Maui have enough local skilled labor to facilitate a massive rebuilding effort? Importing workers could have broad implications for project timelines and costs, as well as the community. In the midst of all this chaos, we have an opportunity to reimagine a Lāhainā better prepared for challenges presented by future environmental impacts. Rebuilding will be a far more complex process than simply replacing what was lost. It will require careful consideration of a range of factors. Our industry has an opportunity to pave the way for a Lāhainā Town that's not just rebuilt, but reborn — stronger, safer and more resilient than before. RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE IN HAWAI‘I’S CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY On a more positive note, our December issue is just around the corner and Building Industry Hawaii is set to recognize two important groups — the general contractors and subcontractors behind our “2023 Projects of the Year,” and the professionals pushing our industry forward as “Power Movers to Watch in 2024.” But in order to honor those who deserve it, we

AT MAKE-A-WISH HAWAII, SWINERTON BUILDERS SEEDS TAIYO’S ENDOWMENT Swinerton Builders recently contributed $12,000 to Make- A-Wish Hawaii Wishes Forever endowment funds in honor of former wish kid Taiyo (last name not disclosed). At 19 years old, the Hawai‘i resident was closer to realizing his dream of becom- ing an entrepreneur than any of his peers. His wish was to launch a heavy equipment rental company. Unfortunately, Taiyo, who battled skeletal muscle tissue cancer, did not get to see his business come alive — but he did get to enjoy a generous starter kit thanks to Make-A-Wish Hawaii and friends Glenn and Debbie Furuya of Leadership Works. The business starter kit included a new hydraulic dump trailer. It’s the kind of gift heavy-equipment enthusiasts can get excited about. In the spirit of paying it forward, Taiyo’s family wanted to honor his legacy by selling the trailer and using the funds to establish the Wishes Forever endowment fund that will help generate money to grant other kids’ wishes in perpetuity. Swinerton’s $12k contribution to Make-A-Wish Hawaii helps kickstart the growth of the Wishes Forever endowment fund to grant wishes for years to come.

SAVING LĀHAINĀ’S Beloved Banyan Three weeks after the fire, fresh new leaves sprout BY PAULA BENDER
W hile there was very little that could be saved as a deadly wildfire swept through Lāhainā, what did survive surely deserves another chance at life. Such is the case for Lāhainā’s beloved banyan tree, scorched in the Aug. 8 fire that melted metal and engulfed struc- tures for blocks. On Aug. 31, the tree sprouted new leaves, marking the begin- ning of the renewal process. Growing through two centuries and currently spanning nearly two acres, the Ficus benghalensis in question was imported from India as an eight-foot- tall sapling and planted 150 years ago by Protestant missionaries at the behest of Queen Keōpūolani, the sacred wife of King Kamehameha the Great, to honor their 50 years in Lāhainā. In India, Ficus benghalensis is considered sacred and every part of the tree yields medicinal applications. It is also revered for its capacity to survive catastrophe.

dren,” Tillotson says. When he told his six-year-old grandson about saving the banyan, he was put on the spot. “What about the other trees?” asked the six-year-old, speaking with insur- mountable wisdom. Reports confirm not only is the banyan being cared for after the flames swept Lāhainā, but trees considered exceptional, such as ulu trees that are even older than the banyan, are getting care as well. Says Tillotson: “We don‘t want people thinking that we are only look- ing to save one tree.”
The day after the worst of the fire, Cliff Tillotson, vice president of Prometheus Construction on O‘ahu, reached out to fellow general contrac- tors on Maui to see if the tree could be saved. In his small-kid-time days, Tillotson climbed and bounced from branch to branch on the banyan when he would go to Lāhainā in the summers away from Wilson Elementary School. He says children from the Kamehameha Elementary School next

Landscape Industry Council of Hawaii Arborist Emeritus Steve Nimz — consid- ered an esteemed authority on all things arboreal, visited all of the trees in Lāhainā and identified those with a chance of surviving. Concrete that surrounded a number of trees was hammered away to give their roots the best chance to live. From those trees that may not survive, some in the community are determined to save their roots and see if a new tree can be grown from them. Thanks to Tillotson, Goodfellow Bros. (GBI) Rob Judge, construc- tion technology
manager/regional engineer on Maui, connected with Nimz. “[Tillotson] believed the banyan tree might be saved if there was prompt action,” Judge says.

the surrounding area,” says Judge. “GBI continues to shower the tree’s canopy with our water trucks daily to promote humid conditions, but the volume of water used was significantly reduced from the initial watering program. We have been told the tree’s current state can be likened to being in a coma after a trau- matic event. It is a wait-and-see situation. “The Lāhainā banyan is a spectacu- lar tree and a beloved icon of Lāhainā Town. We are proud that we could play a role alongside many other Maui contractors and community members who participated in this project. We sincerely hope the community’s efforts lead to the tree’s recovery.” Tree Solutions Hawaii, Nimz’s company, has taken charge and is the point of contact for all activities of watering and feeding the trees to avoid redundancies. “We are having a challenge getting

“Goodfellow Bros. had other emer- gency response activities in Lāhainā, and we were happy to be a part of the effort to save the tree.” The GBI crew followed Nimz's watering instructions, first by washing soot and ash off the canopy and then initiating regular watering at the tree’s base. GBI soaked the ground around the tree with three loads from a 4,000- gallon water truck in the morning, and another three truckloads in the evening. “This continued until Aug. 18, when it was determined that enough mois- ture had been returned to the soil. Other contractors pruned the tree, aerated around the base and applied mulch to
water that is coming from the hydrant used in the water trucks tested for quality,” Nimz says. “If anyone can help with that it would be greatly appreciated. We are unable to get through to the Maui Board of Water Supply for information and testing.” Nimz thanks many of the organi- zations involved in the tree remedia- tion efforts. Along with GBI, Nimz mentioned: • Prometheus Construction for tree protection fencing and soil aeration to break up the soil and improve drainage • Peter Bunn, certified professional agronomist in Waimānalo, for analyz- ing recent soil samples from the area to compare with the analyses done 20 years ago • Preparation for soil inoculation with compost tea and amendments (8/24/2023) overseen by Naholowa‘a Earth Works • And a group of Maui arborists monitoring changes to the tree.

Hunt, Moss ensure student housing is ready for UH students BY PAULA BENDER
A fter some back-and-forth when the YMCA put its fee-simple property at the corner of University Avenue and Metcalf Street on the market in 2015, the organization agreed to sell the property to the University of Hawai‘i (UH) for $8 million a year later. Developing the property without taxpayer dollars was achieved via a public- private partnership (P3) between the University of Hawai‘i Foundation (UHF), UH and Hunt Development Group.
“Following a request for proposals, we contracted in 2017 with Hunt to finance and design-to-build student housing,” says John Han, vice president of adminis- tration and CFO at UHF. THE PROJECT

Hunt hired general contractor Moss & Associates to build the three-structure project. Featured prominently is the landmark pink Charles Atherton House on the corner of University Avenue.

The Charles Atherton House was gutted, refurbished and its exterior preserved, with both of the new build- ings connected to it and to each other in a free, fluid form that assures that one could indeed have an ‘eureka moment' without breaking their concentration. The project was inspired by Lassonde Studios at the University of Utah. The Studios’ website ( lassonde. utah.edu/studios ) provides insight as to what UH aspired to with the Residences for Innovative Student Entrepreneurs (RISE). According to the University of Utah, Lassonde Studios is a place where students pursuing any major or from any background can “Live. Create. Launch.” “All students at the University of Utah are welcome to use the Neeleman Hangar, which is the 20,000-square- foot innovation space on the main floor to connect, test ideas, build proto- types, launch companies and learn by doing,” the studios’ website states. “RISE is not just a student housing project. It also incorporates the Pacific Asian Center for Entrepreneurship programs at the UH Mānoa Shidler College of Business,” says Han. “This also opens a new path for UH Foundation as the first time we are doing real estate development to support the university.” MEETING AND OVERCOMING CHALLENGES General contractor Moss & Associates took charge of the building project and hired the subcontractors for each of the jobs that help create the future for many aspiring students.
Parents help their college-bound children move their belongings into the brand-new RISE residences for the new school year.
Robert Tomas was Moss’ project exec- utive for RISE. According to Tomas,
there was no luxury of relaxed comple- tion dates because students were moving into the residences in late August, whether the building was complete or not.
“We were faced with many challenges related to supply chain issues throughout the project. The team adapted on several occasions and challenged ourselves in think- ing outside the box in progressing as much work as possible, despite mate- rial delays,” Tomas says. “Switchgear, elevator material and cabinets were severely affected by supply chain issues that resulted in work that had to be resequenced just to maintain schedule.” Fortunately, Hunt Development has their offices in the same city as the switchgear manufacturing plant. Robert Tomas
“They were able to work closely with the manufacturer and monitor their progress closely for us,” Tomas says. “Moss has also done a lot of work with the elevator manufacturer nationally, so our corporate offices in Florida assisted in communication with our elevator manufacturer from a corporate perspective. “In both of these cases, communi- cation lines were streamlined, collab- orative, and as close to ‘real time’ as possible, so the delays could be managed and mitigated in real time as well.” Another company that Moss had been working with for several years stepped in to help keep the production on schedule — Island Home Building Materials Inc. Because of unanticipated longer lead times, Moss renegotiated with the original cabinet manufacturer to have them locally made in Honolulu. “The cabinets were originally intended to be globally resourced,” Tomas says. “Due to resourcing issues an agreement was made with Island Home Building Materials to build the cabinets locally, which led to cabinets being onsite sooner rather than later.” Laborers Local 368 Kevin Kumuhone-Pinero and a coworker apply the last strokes of plaster for the new RISE building at UH Mānoa.

PPP PROJECTS PUSH FORWARD BY PAULA BENDER PHOTOS COURTESY MOSS & ASSOCIATES
Public-private partnerships, also known as P3 or PPP, reveal a new style of funding that have activated capi - tal improvement projects at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s main campus. One is the Atherton Hall project, completed in time to welcome students for the fall 2023 semester. The other project is new construction of more student housing across Dole Street from Frear Hall, expected to be ready in fall 2025. “I always thought the university is CFO Kalbert Young. “The reason the university needed to do Atherton as a P3 project is that neither the univer - sity nor the state was willing or had the money to do them. If we had to rely on the [routine] process, that project would have been delayed.” A NEW ROLE FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I FOUNDATION the only agency that can actually point to bona-fide P3s that are actually being executed. If successful, it may prolifer - ate in other agencies as well,” says UH It’s fitting that the University of Hawai‘i Foundation (UHF) establishes its real estate portfolio with the Residences for Innovative Student Entrepreneurs at the corner of University Avenue and Metcalf Street. In the hallowed halls of upper education, this is not a new concept. Many schools have institutionally-related foun - dations (IRF) that are known for raising private support and managing the assets as endowments. With more frequency, IRFs are partnering with institutions to play a role in other areas of support such as student housing. Kalbert Young

“We didn’t invent the wheel with this P3,” says John Han, UHF vice president of Administration and CFO. “Following a request for propos - als, we contracted in 2017 with Hunt Development Group to finance and design-to-build student housing.” P3 AND TAX EVENT BONDS Instead of using taxpayers’ dollars, the P3 team of Hunt Development Group, UH and UHF raised funds and also issued a tax event bond for the Atherton project’s financing. Han says that Hunt was the obvi - ous choice for this project because it has the expertise, innovation, financ - ing and operating efficiencies — and the willingness to collaborate — to understand the university’s needs and goals. As developer, Hunt hired general contractor Moss & Associates to build the three-structure facility at the corner of University Avenue and Metcalf Street. Based on recom- mendations from Hunt for a student housing operator to manage the property, UHF contracted B.HOM, a private student housing operator with a presence throughout the U.S. IT HELPS TO KNOW THE ROPES Hunt is a regular in the P3 dance, having completed more than 200 P3 university housing and other social- infrastructure projects around the globe — adding exceptional value for public-sector partners throughout the design, construction, financing, operations and maintenance phases of projects. “Locally, Hunt — which has been in Hawai‘i for over three decades — has worked with the UH System in various capaci -
water, power and sewer that laid the groundwork for the higher education facility.” Matthew Jun, vice president at Moss & Associates, says that delays to the project included permit- ting, weather, resource manage- ment and design clarification, which he says are Matthew Jun
anticipated for typical construction projects. But this wasn’t a typical situation. “A hard completion date was required as resident students would be moving in on a specific date that could not be compromised,” Jun says. “Constant resequencing of work was done on the schedule to overcome this obstacle, which led to a lot of overtime work including weekend, holiday, and in some cases, double shifts for certain trades.”
