Creating the Soul at the Center of the City
The center of a city catalyzes the character of the community. Aloha Pacific Center sits at the geographic center of downtown Kapolei, along with the Island Pacific Academy, Cole Academy and the Kapolei Public Library. Aloha Pacific Center helps to build the character of Kapolei.
A city center joining education, economic opportunity, and entrepreneurship will foster the kinds of activities consistent with great cities: galleries, live theater, a museum, an array of coffee shops and delicatessens, including those in Aloha Pacific Center, spring up to provide venues for book discussions and conversations ranging from the events of the day to the reactions to the play just seen. The nearby retirement community adds to the landscape, providing opportunities for intergenerational bonds enhancing the lives of young and old alike.
These are signs of a truly vibrant city center, a city with a soul.
Aloha Pacific Center advances the creation of that vibrancy in several ways. Aloha Pacific Center offers the security of office ownership to businesses in Class A commercial space in a building setting a standard for environmental sensitivity. Aloha Pacific Center provides a concrete example of possibilities created when a need (high quality office space in the second city) is addressed with a vision (respecting land and natural resources). The building is an educational show-and-tell.
Aloha Pacific Center responds to the call to create economic opportunities in West Oahu that will provide careers, not just jobs, in proximity to homes, not just houses, reducing the traffic crowding H-1 each day. The engine for that opportunity might well be education, created through nearby University of Hawai`i, West Oahu, and cultivated in the educational center surrounding Aloha Pacific Center.
The synergy formed by conjoining schools with economic activity, entrepreneurial energy, and the growing medical arts community on the west side promises to stimulate more youngsters to imagine themselves creating, inventing, serving others and solving problems in the community in which they have been raised. Aloha Pacific Center adds to the leisure hour resources of the community with a downtown sports center serving the interests of children and adults as well.
