Transit Oriented Development

KALAUAO (PEARLRIDGE) STATION AREA

Kaonohi St1

Highlights from the TOD Plan are listed below. See the TOD Plan for all proposals/recommendations and more details, including the implementation framework.

Connectivity & Circulation:

  • Bus transit facility makai of the station, with potentially mixed-use development above, that includes a pedestrian and bicycle connection to the Pearl Harbor Historic Trail (PHHT)
  • Bicycle facility improvements throughout the area, including along Kaonohi Street, to provide a safe biking experience from mauka neighborhoods to the station
  • PHHT improvements to create a more attractive environment for pedestrians and bicyclists along the shoreline and to re-affirm the trail as a “special place” and regional amenity
  • New streets in tandem with redevelopment, including a main street through the old Kamehameha Drive-In site and Pearlridge Center parking lot

Parks & Open Space:

  • Public access and open space opportunities along Pearl Harbor shoreline, helping to re-establish the Pearlridge area as a waterfront neighborhood
  • New community open space at the terminus of Kaonohi Street, serving as a “window to Pearl Harbor”
  • Pedestrian pathway around Sumida Farm
  • Neighborhood mini-parks mauka of the station for community gathering places and small recreation areas
  • Transit plaza on each side of Kamehameha Highway to serve as active spaces and community gateways

Urban Form:

  • Creation of stronger neighborhood identity and true sense of place
  • Development oriented directly to sidewalks, placing parking to the rear or in wrapped parking structures
  • Buildings that abut Sumida Farm oriented to look out over it with lanais, cafe seating, and large windows
  • Mixed-use development at the catalytic Kamehameha Drive-In site with internal connections and attractive edges that integrate development into the surrounding neighborhood
  • Pearlridge Center re-oriented from a traditional shopping mall to a more urban, outwardly-focused mixed-use destination with secondary areas redesigned to create a town center atmosphere
  • Signature building next to the station

Land Use:

  • Mixed-use development along Kaonohi Street and Kamehameha Highway
  • Civic uses adjacent to the station to emphasize the area as a major regional destination
  • Medium-density housing and mixed-use residential development along Pearl Harbor shoreline
  • Pearlridge Center remaining as anchor of vital retail district, enhanced by new shopping opportunities across Kaonohi Street at the Kamehameha Drive-In site
  • High-density housing at the Kamehameha Drive-In site
  • Lower-density residential uses near Moanalua Loop to help transition to the adjacent single-family neighborhoods
  • Centrally located schools connected to surrounding neighborhoods
