Ala Moana Updates

While the new Ala Moana wing with Bloomingdales is set to open in November, the rest of the mall is getting a facelift as well. Check out some of the changes I witnessed over the weekend.

The new lighting on the pillars, under the covered walkway, and the torch-shaped lampposts in the “islands.”

Here’s a closer look at the tiled pillar with cool lighting.

The koi and other water ponds have seating that matches the wooden motif of the “new” Ala Moana. The koi aren’t back yet.

Hold up. What’s going on in this picture?

Give up? The faithful wooden stairs are gone.
