Aloha Halawa District Partners (AHDP) has been selected as the developer of the New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District (NASED) in Hawaii.

AHDP was approved by the state after being the only group to submit a formal bid before the July 1 deadline. A period of due diligence will now take place, with AHDP set to present its plans to the community and gather feedback.

ADHP comprises Development Ventures Group, Stanford Carr Development, Ameresco and Aloha Stadium Community Development as the lead equity members, as well as a design team featuring RMA Architects, Populous, SB Architects, Henning Larsen, Alakea Design Group and WCIT Architecture.

Other members of the group include Hawaiian Dredging Construction Company and AECOM Hunt, as well as Castle & Cooke Hawaii and Wilson Okamoto Corporation.

Aloha Stadium first opened in 1975, but has largely been closed for events since December 2020 due to rust issues and deferred maintenance.

AHDP has been in prime position since Waiola Development Partners dropped out of the running to become the lead developer. This left only AHDP to construct a 25,000-seat venue plus the planned outlying housing and retail facilities on the 98-acre site of the old Aloha Stadium. It is hoped that the stadium will be ready for the University of Hawaii’s 2028 college football season.
