The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands already gave the project a green light. Now the Final Environmental Assessment for DeBartolo’s Ka Makana Alii in East Kapolei is in today’s Environmental Notice.

Here’s how the Hawaiian Homes Commission describes the project:

Ka Makana Ali’i Center will encompass a major department store; family entertainment complex; retail stores; restaurants; two hotels catering to kama’āina; low-rise office buildings; a pedestrian plaza surrounded by outdoor cafes; underground parking; and a neighborhood commercial area with specialty market, drug stores, and convenient shops and services designed to meet daily shopping needs of the community.

DHHL said the project deserved Final EA a “FONSI” (Finding of No Significant Impact). Now, the Office of Economic Quality Control has agreed. You can check out or download the document here.

Be forewarned: It might take a while to load. It’s 187 megabytes.
