New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District

$400 million

Under wayDemolition underway; groundbreaking expected November 2026

A 31,000-seat stadium on the 98-acre Halawa site, built by Aloha Halawa District Partners as the centerpiece of a district planned for 4,500 housing units over 20 to 30 years.

The stadium targets spring 2029, so electrical, mechanical, fire protection and paving packages run from late 2026 onward, and the operator also maintains the facility and surrounding spaces, which points to long-term cleaning and grounds work.

The first graving dock built at Pearl Harbor since 1943, part of the Navy's Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam; $3.4 billion was the maximum estimated contract value at the 2023 award.

Work now includes a new electrical substation, a fire water pump house and building foundations, and the wider shipyard program lists 118 major projects over 20 to 30 years, giving electrical, mechanical and fire protection subcontractors a long federal pipeline.

Market view

What we see in Honolulu

Honolulu is the most crowded market we cover for HVAC: it ranks #100 of 100 on larger buyer sites per contractor, with 131 HVAC contractors for 525 sites. General construction (#98), electrical (#98) and cleaning (#97) are close behind. Landscaping is the exception at #17, even after the landscaping contractor count rose 23.3% from 2021 to 2025.

In a market this tight, the federal pipeline matters more than usual. Obligations came to $2.83 billion in fiscal 2026, down 44.2% from $5.07 billion, with $1.28 billion in construction and $38.1 million in janitorial work. The new dry dock at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard is under construction, with an electrical substation, a fire water pump house and building foundations in the current work, and Nan Inc. holds the Army's two new child development centers at Schofield Barracks and Aliamanu. Those primes release subcontract packages, so the call goes to their project managers.

The buyer mix is unusual. Churches run at 4.42x the U.S. concentration, colleges at 2.59x and building owners at 2.38x, and restaurants (1.64x) added 112 establishments in one year. A landscaping or cleaning firm should work churches, campuses and restaurant groups before office property.

Aloha Stadium is the civic job: demolition is under way, groundbreaking is expected in November 2026 and the new stadium targets spring 2029, with the operator maintaining the facility and grounds afterward. The City and County of Honolulu also has upgrades to the Kailua wastewater plant under construction on Windward Oahu.

Read the transcript of Ava's Honolulu walkthrough

Hi, I'm Ava.

Here's what an Abstrakt program looks like in Honolulu.

First, we size your territory.

The Honolulu area has about 23 thousand companies and 102 thousand business contacts.

Next, we pick the playbook for your industry.

Each playbook starts with criteria that have already booked meetings.

For roofing, that's roof size, roof age and who owns the building.

Then we build the list.

Anyone who isn't a fit comes off before a rep ever sees the name.

Every prospect gets a full profile.

The decision-maker, the building, and every touch so far.

Before the first dial, each rep practices in an AI role play and gets certified.

Now the calls start.

The dialer, the talk track and the follow-up all live in one place.

Every meeting is reviewed for quality before it reaches you.

And we track each one all the way to closed.

We take one client per trade per territory.

Once a spot is taken, it's gone.

Check if your trade is still open in Honolulu.

Contractor licensing in Hawaii

Hawaii requires a state contractor license for nearly all construction work, issued as A (general engineering), B (general building), or one of many C specialty classifications. The only small-job exemption is for projects of $1,500 or less in labor and materials that need no building permit and are not part of a larger project.
