Construction Services, Inc. www.unlimitedhawaii.com Ko Olina Center & Station Kapolei Court Complex TWICE THE FUN See how the new Safeway location stacks up with the former store. On a Pedestal Built by general contractor Unlimited Construction Services, Inc., Safeway’s new Beretania store sits on a lot nearly twice the size of its former location, with more than twice the square footage and number of parking stalls (see sidebar). Opened on Dec. 16, it is constructed in an elevated podium format, with parking at ground level and the supermarket on the upper level. It is the first of its kind in Hawaii and only one of two stores in the nation for Safeway, according to Robert Woodring, Unlimited’s project manager. “The new store features our ‘lifestyle’ format with inviting décor and a warm ambience,” describes Susan Houghton, director of public and government affairs for Safeway. The structure itself, explains Woodring, “includes two vertical transportation modules, one for escalator/cartveyor/stairway and one for two large passenger elevators from ground level parking to upper level store. The store contains a full service deli, bakery, meat & seafood, produce, and floral departments with production preparation areas for each, as well as an in-store Starbucks coffee kiosk and Bank of Hawaii branch. “A covered outdoor patio, featuring custom lighting and furniture, complements the adjacent full service deli and coffee bar and can be accessed 60 | BUILDING INDUSTRY | MARCH 2012 NEW LOT SIZE PARKING 3 acres 65,000 sf 241 stalls OLD 1.7 acres 31,000 sf 109 stalls via an outdoor stairway from ground level parking area.” “The location also features … several standalone establishments, including an American Savings Bank branch, T-Mobile store and Panda Cuisine,” adds Houghton. T-Mobile and Panda Cuisine are located at ground level below the Safeway store and American Savings Bank is a separate retail building that opened on the same day as the supermarket. http://www.unlimitedhawaii.com
