Summary, model-written

Former airport (1939) retrofitted as aviation museum (2006) using 'reinhabit' strategy. Non-profit developer (Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum) used federal/state grants. Opened in phases starting 2006, now a Smithsonian affiliate with exhibits on Pearl Harbor/WWII.

Why. 16-acre site (87,000 sqft GLA) repurposed from airport to education/entertainment use. Peer comparisons show similar size/strategy with 5 other reinhabited sites (e.g., Aloha Tower Marketplace, 13 acres).

Where it stands. Status: built. No value per acre or parcel value data available. 3.5km from partial mall (Pearlridge Center).

Background

Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum (formerly the Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor) is a non-profit founded in 1999 to develop an aviation museum in Hawaii. Part of Senator Daniel Inouye's vision for a rebirth of Ford Island, the museum hosts a variety of aviation exhibits with a majority relating directly to the attack on Pearl Harbor and World War II. The first section of the museum, hangar 37, opened with the museum on December 7, 2006, and features much of the museum's static exhibits.
