Heritage & Place Identity

Why Kūhiō

Kuhio Avenue carries the name — and the legacy — of Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana'ole, Hawaii's beloved delegate to Congress and champion of Native Hawaiian land rights.

This corridor project honors that heritage through economic activation and placemaking — building a commercial district that reflects Hawaiian identity, not just visitor convenience.
