HONOLULU (KITV4) -- A planned hotel in Chinatown has cleared a key environmental hurdle.
KITV4 has learned that the city’s Department of Planning and Permitting has found that the project is anticipated to pose no significant impacts to the environment.
The project’s developer - Ikenakea Hokele – plans to replace an existing parking lot and vacant warehouse at 128 North Nimitz Highway with a 240-room hotel adjacent to Aloha Tower Marketplace.

The hotel also will include about 31,000-square-feet of meeting and flex spaces, as well as a rooftop bar and restaurant with outdoor seating.
The $128 million project still has some other regulatory approvals to clear. Construction is anticipated to take about two years.
