Renovation of a Downtown Icon
In 2014, Topa Companies engaged Native Technologies to provide full construction management services for the $1.1 million renovation of the Topa Financial Center in downtown Honolulu. This high-profile project was carefully planned and executed to ensure the continued operation of the busy office building, with all work performed at night to minimize disruption to tenants and visitors.
The renovation scope was extensive, including the installation of over half a million dollars’ worth of Canadian granite throughout public areas, new lighting, ceiling replacement, foundation and stairway repairs, planter waterproofing, replacement of exterior light fixtures and soffits, garage resurfacing, and landscaping improvements. BMK Construction installed the stone flooring, while Ke Nui Construction provided general contracting services, supported by a team of specialty trades.
To address the challenges of working in a heavily trafficked environment, Native Technologies developed and oversaw a detailed staging plan. Our on-site construction manager coordinated closely with contractors, building management, and tenants to ensure safe, efficient progress. Completed on-time and on-budget, the project enhanced both the aesthetics and functionality of this landmark property, demonstrating Native Technologies’ expertise in managing complex renovations in active commercial environments.
