Waikiki 空置楼 Ena Road 436号当周开拆:原33户低收入住宅将改建永久可负担住房

夏威夷州檀香山市县檀香山市消息,市政府宣布,位于 Waikiki、Kalakaua Ave 附近 Ena Road 436号的一栋八层空置楼房于11月2日当周开始结构拆除,现场清理预计持续至2027年2月。拆除由承包商 R.H.S. Lee 公司负责,使用遥控操作的 Husqvarna DXR 305 型拆楼机器人在狭窄空间内逐层拆解这栋原 Ena Motoi 旧楼。
市政府2018年动用联邦社区发展整笔拨款购入这块约6,000平方英尺的地块,原楼为33个单元,曾服务低收入居民与无家可归者,是 Waikiki 首个接受住房优先券的市营项目。市住房与土地管理主任 Kevin Auger 表示,拆除是把地块改造成永久可负担住房的重要一步,但新建住宅的最终户数与可负担水平尚未确定,须经过社区沟通、环境评估与土地使用审批后才能定案。

Demolition Begins at Vacant 436 Ena Road in Waikiki: 33-Unit Building to Make Way for Permanent Affordable Housing
In Honolulu, City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii, the city announced that structural demolition of the vacant eight-story building at 436 Ena Road in Waikiki, near Kalakaua Avenue, begins the week of November 2, with site clearing expected to run through February 2027. Contractor R.H.S. Lee, Inc. is using remotely operated Husqvarna DXR 305 demolition robots to take down the former Ena Motoi building floor by floor in a confined space.
The city acquired the roughly 6,000-square-foot parcel in 2018 with federal Community Development Block Grant funds. The 33-unit building previously served low-income residents and people experiencing homelessness and was the first city-run project in Waikiki to accept Housing First vouchers. Housing and Land Management Director Kevin Auger called the demolition an important step toward permanently affordable housing, while noting that the final unit count and affordability levels remain undetermined pending community engagement, environmental review and land-use approvals.
