A Haute Renovation

Foodies know Hank's Haute Dogs for its gourmet Chicago dogs and specialty sausages. But the hole-in-the wall is raising its profile in Kaka'ako. Kamehameha Schools' Commercial Real Estate Division is working with owner Hank Adaniya to construct an 800square foot outdoor seating area and beer garden adjacent to the restaurant's existing Coral Street loeahon. The outdoor addition is the first of Kamehameha's improvement projects for its masterplanned neighborhood, Kaiāulu 'o Kaka'ako. Right now, diners eat their lunches on a few pienie tables in the parking lot. True to Hank's style, the renovation will be go beyond seating and will include an unexpected, artistic element. "We've given the designers three guidelines. First, the new seating area should make a visual impact,

but it should also be functional and use some of the same materials as the existing industrial neighborhood," said Adaniya. 01d shipping containers will be repurposed and used as part of the structural design. The modular structure will initially add seats for 50 people when it is completed next spring, but will be flexible to allow for additional growth. Coral Street is part of the 29 acres that Kamehameha Schools owns in Kakaako mau ka. Kamehameha has a 15-year master plan that includes residential units and commercial space, as well as improved landscaping and pedestrian walkways. "Change starts small," says Adaniya. 'Tf we ean be a magnet that attracts other businesses to the area, then we ean start to develop a new community."
