The Board of Water Supply will be issuing a Request for Proposal to redevelop a portion of its Beretania Complex.
A presentation and public meeting is scheduled for Thursday, November 8, 2018, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Central Middle School Cafeteria. Click here for the meeting notice.
The Complex is home to three historically-significant buildings. The current RFP includes the adjacent parking lots, but not the historic buildings. A previous proposal (2013) would have allowed demolition of the Hart Wood-designed administration building, which lead Historic Hawai‘i Foundation to list it as one of the Most Endangered Historic Properties in Hawai‘i. BWS then withdrew the prior concept to “regroup.” The current proposal appears to avoid the sensitive sites.
