Our Story
Comprised of 85,000 square-feet of curated retail, restaurant and mixed-use space, SALT at Our Kaka‘ako is a dynamic city block designed for exploration and engagement. This special gathering place in the heart of Our Kaka‘ako is where new makers and new ideas converge.
SALT at Our Kaka‘ako is where urban island culture intersects with buzzworthy food, one-of-a-kind shopping and innovative events. Where authenticity and passion are woven into the fabric of the community. Where you’ll always find something surprising, just around the corner.
Kamehameha Schools is a private, charitable educational trust endowed by the will of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the great-granddaughter and last direct descendant of King Kamehameha I.
During her lifetime, Princess Pauahi witnessed the rapid decline of the Hawaiian population. The Princess knew that education would be key to the preservation of the Hawaiian language and the survival of her culture, so in an enduring act of aloha, she left a gift upon her passing – 375,000 acres of ancestral land. She instructed the trustees of her estate to use the land to educate her people. Today, her endowment supports Kamehameha Schools, an educational system that serves thousands of Hawaiian learners in Hawaii and across the nation.
As with all of its projects, SALT at Our Kaka‘ako effectively supports the Kamehameha Schools mission by furthering the education of Hawaiian children.
SALT at Our Kakaʻako was honored with the prestigious Shopping Center of the Year Award (SCOTY), at the recent Retail Merchants of Hawaii Hoʻokela Awards.
The SCOTY award is presented by the International Council of Shopping Centers each year to a leading individual or company who acknowledges and celebrates the crucial relationship between retailers and shopping centers. The award recognizes the success of Kamehameha Schools Commercial Real Estate Division with SALT at Our Kakaʻako
