Central Oahu Construction Company Acquires $19 Million Office Building
A construction company based in Central Oahu, Bowers and Kubota Consulting, has recently made a significant investment by purchasing an office building located at 1601 Kapiolani Blvd. in Honolulu for nearly $19 million. This move is expected to strengthen the company’s presence in the region as it consolidates its operations.
Located near the Ala Moana Center, the newly acquired 12-story building boasts approximately 75,000 square feet of space and comes equipped with extensive parking facilities that will support the needs of various tenants.
Bowers and Kubota Consulting: A Focused Strategy
Bowers and Kubota Consulting, which specializes in construction and project management as well as architecture and engineering services, is based in Waipahu. With this purchase, the company aims to unify its Honolulu-based services under one roof, enhancing operational efficiency and collaboration among its teams.
The acquisition signals a strategic move by Bowers and Kubota Consulting to not only expand its footprint but also to streamline its operations in a space that is well-suited for its business model. The company believes that consolidating its resources in this newly acquired location will provide better service to its clients.
A Thriving Business Environment
The office building was previously owned by the Shaw Foundation Properties, a real estate investment firm based in Hong Kong. The sale was facilitated by commercial real estate firms, with Colliers Hawaii representing Bowers and Kubota Consulting and Pacific Properties Group working for the seller.
This property is not just an office building; it also hosts a wide variety of businesses, including those in medical, dental, accounting, healthcare administration, and retail services. This diverse mix of tenants contributes to a vibrant business environment, making the building an attractive location for both service providers and clients alike.
Long-Term Implications for Existing Tenants
One significant aspect of this transaction is that the existing businesses within the office building are expected to remain undisturbed by the sale. This assurance helps to maintain stability for tenants who rely on their operations in the building and ensures that the local business community can continue to thrive.
Brandon Bera, an executive vice president at Colliers Hawaii, has identified the building as a fantastic asset due to its excellent condition, ample parking, and prime location. Being in close proximity to the Ala Moana Center, the building can leverage the foot traffic and amenities offered in one of Honolulu’s busiest retail districts.
Future Growth Expectations
As Bowers and Kubota Consulting embarks on this new chapter, the move could facilitate future growth opportunities within the construction industry in Hawaii. Consolidating resources in a central location allows for better coordination of projects, increased productivity, and ultimately, a stronger service offering for clients across the state.
This transaction highlights a broader trend in the commercial real estate market where companies are investing in properties that not only meet their immediate needs but also have the potential to grow with their operational objectives. As such, Bowers and Kubota Consulting’s acquisition could set a precedent for similar companies looking to enhance their infrastructure and service capabilities in the Central Oahu region.
