History

The shopping center originally opened in 1979 as the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, as part of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel complex with about 100 shops and restaurants and a food court. It was constructed as three separate buildings adjacent to each other with sky walks connecting the upper floors. The center, owned by Kamehameha Schools at the time, completed a $100 million renovation in 2007 to include more retailers and restaurants.{{Cite news|url=http://www.ksbe.edu/commercialrealestate/commercial_properties/commercial_royal_hawaiian_center/|title=Kamehameha Schools Commercial Real Estate|access-date=2018-02-24|language=en}} The center was sold to RHC Property Holding LLC in 2013.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bizjournals.com/pacific/news/2013/10/22/kamehameha-schools-trying-to-sell.html|title=Kamehameha Schools to sell Royal Hawaiian Center buildings in Waikiki |website=www.bizjournals.com|access-date=2018-02-24}}
