Ali'i
Place
Developer: Beta West Properties
Architects: DMJM Architects (Hawaii)
This
office tower features unobstructed floor space free of interior column
elements for maximum office space flexibility. Constructed of a
structural steel framed floor system and a structural steel framed
perimeter system, both framing elements are further supported by a
reinforced concrete central core. Aside from its “open space” floor
framing design, a primary feature of this project is a reinforced
concrete matt foundation that extends to the perimeter of the building
measuring 30” to 60” thick. Its imported, tinted, pre-cast concrete
facade provides a striking contrast to other downtown office buildings,
the Ali'i Place office tower is rightly named after the Chiefs of
Hawaiian Royalty.

AFFES
Shopping Center (Camp Stanley, Korea)
Owners: AFFES
Architects: CDS International
Our
long experience with the Army-Air Force Exchange Service (AFFES) has
taken us beyond the borders of Hawaii. Located in Camp Stanle , Korea,
this military base shopping center structure features over 10,700 Square
Meters (~35,000 Square Feet) of retail and commercial space. Built on a
sloping site, this structure features a steel framed roof supported by a
concrete masonry perimeter wall and steel columns on a 9.75 Meter
(~32’-0”) grid. Due to cold weather design conditions, the concrete
foundation are embedded a minimum of 1.5 Meters (~5’-0”) below the
finished grade. In keeping with our service and responsive nature, the
engineer for this project made scheduled on site visits to assure
conformance with the contractual documents.

Duty
Free Shoppers (Waikiki)
Owners: Duty Free Shoppers International
Architects: Kajioka, Yamachi Architects
Located
in the heart of Waikiki , this extensive renovation project required the
removal and demolition of major structural elements to be replaced by new
elements in varying positions and strengths. Coordination was a paramount
concern for both safety and attainment of project goals while the
existing office tower above was occupied. The main entry area features a
24’-0” high by 8” wide concrete wall-beam supported on concrete
wall-columns to allow the wide open requirements of the architectural
design. The 2nd level existing interior concrete floor slab was partially
demolished to form an arcade which provides two levels of retail space.
New drilled piers, micro piles and grade beams needed to support new
concrete columns and walls were carefully installed within the interior
of the existing structure. In addition, new exterior reinforced concrete
walls where also constructed to help support the new changes in load
geometry. The alley way between this renovation and an existing building
was enclosed and a cruise ship façade was structurally attached to the
existing wall to feature additional retail spaces in the adjacent
building.
