The City and County of Honolulu has issued a Request for Information (RFI) regarding the redevelopment of Neal S. Blaisdell Center, a cultural campus located in Honolulu, the state capital of Hawaii. The over 50-year-old campus is in significant need of facility systems and infrastructure upgrades and renovation, which the authority is considering contracting to a private partner.
The scope of work includes the renovation of the existing concert hall and arena on site, as well as demolition and reconstruction of the exhibition hall and parking structures. The new exhibition hall will span 95,000 square feet (8,800 square meters). Two parking garages are to be constructed, with a total 2,400 spaces. Additional venues will also be developed on site, including an arts pavilion and a sports pavilion with 2,000 to 2,500 seats.
The submission deadline for the RFI is 15 February, 2019. For more information, see the Business Opportunity.
