Seeing opportunity in NEM 2.0 FIRM READIES PLANS FOR EXPANSION

BY DUANE SHIMOGAWA dshimogawa@bizjournals.com 808-9558036, @PBNDuane

California-based JLM Energy, which recently opened an office in Hawaii, has big expansion plans for the state.

The company has been around for seven years, but just in the past year it has been focusing issues pertaining to life after net energy metering, the popular solar photovoltaic program that has led to major growth within the industry.

“NEM 1.0 is slowly but surely giving way to NEM 2.0, which still to some extent, allows connectivity to the grid but puts stringent conditions to it,” Farid Dibachi, CEO of JLM, told Pacific Business News.

“The remedy is some kind of energy storage, getting it efficiently and

cost-effectively. We are on our third generation storage product for both residential and commercial customers. We offer it in four states, including Hawaii.”

JLM is among several companies looking to capitalize on this opportunity by selling a solar-plus-battery system that will range from $26,000 to $35,000 for residential customers and from $150,000 to more than $2 million for commercial customers.

Dibachi said Hawaii has always been at the forefront when it comes to renewable energy.

“We have not only fine-tuned the product, but we have gone out there and hired people in the industry such as Darren Jennings, a former Sunrun executive,” Dibachi said. “They’re building a team around their expertise and know-

how. We have had tremendous success. We try to develop the market in conjunction with local partners, using local contractors, local labor and bringing that know-how and experience.”

JLM already has installed 20 projects across the Islands with 25 more in the works including its major Maui project, which involves a 3-megawatt solar energy system with an 8-megawatt-hour battery

storage system. The total project cost is pegged at $10 million.

For Jennings, general manager of JLM’s operations in Hawaii, the plan is total market domination in the state.

“We are looking to add three more sales reps by the end of the year on Oahu,” he told PBN. “We are looking at expanding to the Big Island early next year and eventually hitting up all the major islands.”

ON COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE I DSHIMOGAWA@BIZJOURNALS.COM

808-955-8036

@PBNDUANE

BY DUANE SHIMOGAWA DUANE SHIMOGAWA

Hot retail market leads all sectors on Oahu Hawaii’s retail real estate market is perhaps as hot as it has ever been with tremendous growth led by the opening of the newly redeveloped International Market Place in Waikiki and the expansion of Ala Moana Center in Honolulu, according to the CBRE Hawaii Retail MarketView.

The IMP grand opening in August placed a number of new retailers into the Hawaii market including Saks Fifth Avenue and new restaurants such as Kona Grill and The Street, the report said.

Additionally, one of Ala Moana Center’s oldest tenants, Shirokiya reopened with a re-energized look and product to fit consumer demand.

Both centers are following business models that larger markets are trending towards; an in-line mix that diversifies tenants with lower rates of e-commerce penetration and higher brick-and-mortar growth rates.

The past two quarters have been the most active period since the development of Kapolai as Oahu’s so-called “Second City,” the report said. Major activity also included the closure of Sports Authority’s eight locations and the closure of the state’s first Kmart in Iwilei, adding 440,000 square feet of available retail space to the market. Only two of the Sports Authority locations in the Hawaii portfolio, Ward Village and Kona Commons, have been repurchased by their respective landowners, but remain vacant.

During the third quarter, the retail market saw 380,314 square feet of positive net absorption (space leased), causing the vacancy rate to decrease to 4.2 percent from the previous quarter. Statewide average asking rents increased to $6.28 per square foot per month, a 5.3 percent increase year-over-year. With nearly all of the retail construction

continue to tighten and push base rents higher. Interest from industrial investors and developers may likely rise as inventory levels remain scarce and rental rates continue to rise.

28,531-square-foot Unity House property on Ala Wai Boulevard to Kaiuli for its cooling station.

The project still has hurdles to clear including an environmental impact statement. If all goes as planned, it wouldn’t be operational for at least another five years, Darryl Nakamoto, a partner with Kaiuli, told PBN. “There’s also some fundraising involved with the EIS,” he said.

In the meantime, Horner said his firm, Malu Investments II, recently

signed a three-year lease extension with Unity House, a Honolulu-based nonprofit founded in 1951 that serves union workers.

For Kaiuli, finding a location for its cooling station was one of its biggest challenges.

The project’s target customers include some of the largest hotels in Waikiki, whose representatives have already expressed an interest in the project in the form of written statements of support to the state.

The Ka Makana Alii mall opened in Kapolei last week.

completed in Honolulu’s urban core, many retailers are now able to enter a market that previously had historically low availability.

Looking ahead, CBRE said that with mid-box retailers continuing to adjust within the market and the opening of new regional mall — Ka Makana Alii in Kapolei — Hawaii’s retail market could anticipate a higher level of vacancy in the fourth quarter. Both vacancy and rental rates will require time to stabilize before significant positive movement occurs in the market. Because of that, overall market fundamentals are expected to be slightly flat and unpredictable during the near term.

Industrial The Hawaii real estate industrial market continues to tighten with positive net absorption figures, decreasing availability rates and increasing asking rents.

Base asking rents increased by 2 cents, quarter-over-quarter, rising to $1.23 per square foot per month in the third quarter. This also represented

Horner property could play role in cooling Waikiki hotels A property at the edge of Waikiki owned by former First Hawaiian Bank CEO Don Horner could become a key part of a $225 million plan to cool Waikiki hotels and other large buildings near Ala Moana Center through a seawater air-conditioning project, PBN has learned.

an increase of 12 cents, year-overyear, compared to $1.11 per square foot per month in the third quarter of 2015. Base rents continue to push upward as demand outpaces supply.

Additionally, there were a few notable sales and refinancing transactions that occurred during the quarter largely due to favorable interest rates, according to the report.

The industrial leasing market in the state has been continually challenged by the supply and demand imbalance as there is currently more tenant demand than available options for lease. This trend has placed upward pressure on base asking rents. Oahu’s base asking rent average increased to $1.26 per square foot per month at the end of the third quarter.

Statewide base rates increased 2 cents to $1.23 per square foot per month in the third quarter.

Statewide, the market absorbed 168,845 square feet of industrial space during the quarter resulting in a decline in the availability rate to 1.5 percent at the end of the third quarter.

CBRE projects that the market will

Office Honolulu’s office real estate market saw fairly positive results during the first half of this year.

However, this trend slowed a bit in the third quarter as the market totaled 21,492 square feet of negative net absorption (space coming onto the market). As a result, the overall vacancy rate inched up to 14.1 percent compared with 13.9 percent during the previous quarter, but slightly lower than the 14.4 percent from the third quarter of 2015. Additionally, average office rents experienced a marginal increase, quarter-over-quarter, from $2.99 per square foot per month in the second quarter to $3 per square foot per month at the end of the third quarter.

The tightening office sector has produced a few challenges during the past couple of years as both landlords and tenants continue to explore ways to reduce business costs. Occupiers are searching for efficiency and higher utilization of space. This downsizing and office optimization affords tenants to upgrade office interior designs, fixtures and amenities.

The report said more businesses are now using online transactional methods and cloud storage more than ever before, decreasing the need for traditionally-sized floor plates. Conventionally, office tenants have occupied an average of 225 square feet to 250 square feet per worker. However, recent estimates suggest that the ratio has been reduced to about 150 square feet to 170 square feet per worker, directly affecting market absorption.

Kaiuli Energy, which wants to develop a Waikiki-based seawater air-conditioning system that would replace central refrigeration systems at individual buildings in Hawaii’s largest tourism district, has the support of Horner, who told PBN that he would be open to leasing the

Hawaii unlikely to follow visitor cap trend In recent years, some visitor destinations around the world have begun to cap the number of tourists they let in due to lack of resources and environmental issues, but Hawaii is unlikely to follow that trend.

Santorini, one of the busiest ports in the world, is one of the more recent locations to do so. According to the Hellenic Port Association, 790,000 people visited the island in 2015, resulting in socioeconomic and environmental pressures. The island now plans to cap the number of cruise ship visitors to 8,000 a day in 2017, about a 25 percent drop.

The Cinque Terre, one of Italy’s iconic destination spots, also plans to cap the number of tourists due to environmental concerns. The area had 2.5 million visitors in 2015 but plans to slash that number by 1 million by requiring visitors to pur-

chase tickets ahead of time.

And at Zion National Park in Utah, park officials are considering limiting visitors due to soil erosion caused by increased foot traffic.

But it doesn’t seem likely Hawaii would follow suit, as huge efforts are poured into getting as many people as possible to visit the Islands.

Tourism is the largest private sector of the Hawaii economy, contributing $1.6 billion in total state tax revenue in 2015 with 8.6 million

visitors, the fourth-straight year of record-breaking arrivals, according to the Hawaii Tourism Authority.

“Hawaii’s cultural legacy and our way of life is founded on the aloha spirit and welcoming all who come here with hospitality and goodwill,” George Szigeti, president and CEO of the Hawaii Tourism Authority, told Pacific Business News in a statement. “That’s the core of what makes Hawaii a dream destination for travelers worldwide.”

This doesn’t prevent complaints from local residents, however. Some common criticisms are congestion and disrespect for Hawaii’s culture.

Though the HTA sells Hawaii to travelers, it also funds community programs dedicated to preserving the state’s environment and culture.

“Our job at HTA is to market tourism for the state of Hawaii’s visitor industry — our state’s biggest industry. But our top priority is maintaining a balance between preserving our natural resources and supporting the visitor industry,” Szigeti said.

In 2016, HTA provided $3.3 million to 94 community-based projects, 33 environment-based programs and 35 cultural-based programs.

“We must continuously preserve our ocean quality, our beaches, our coral reefs, our rainforests — the natural resources of Hawaii that draw visitors,” Szigeti said. “Tourism in Hawaii cannot prosper without the continual care given to perpetuating the sanctity of our environment and culture.”

Fantasy sports, real estate app startups focus of cohort Honolulu-based business accelerator Blue Startups this week revealed the list of the eight companies accepted into its eighth cohort.

The list includes two fantasy sports platforms, two apps designed to improve communication between property owners and their guests or residents, a subscription-based online yoga resource, an automobile buying and selling platform, a hotel marketplace specializing in suites and a real estate crowdfunding platform.

Blue Startups told Pacific Business News this week that it received a record 350 applicants for its latest program.

Each business will be given $25,000 up front and have the opportunity to receive a total investment of $100,000 from the startup accelerator. Each can pitch for an additional $25,000 at the end of the

cohort and can ask Blue Startups for another $50,000 after the program if the business is able to raise $250,000 separately with a lead investor.

Blue Startups Program Director Jared Kushi said Hawaii makes strategic sense for many of the companies in the program.

“Strategic interest in Hawaii includes access to Asian markets, hospitality industry and gaming interests, leveraging our relationship with Tetris,” Kushi said. Blue Startups co-founder Henk Rogers owns the rights to the iconic video game.

“We are very excited about this cohort coming from all over the world — Tel Aviv (Israel), Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada), San Francisco — and four companies from Hawaii including a company from Maui, as we want to reach out to more Neighbor Island entrepreneurs,” Kushi said.

COVER STORY

From his kitchen to your living room STORY BY KATIE MURAR | PHOTOGRAPHY BY TINA YUEN

Ed Kenney hates talking about himself. He never set out to become a local celebrity chef, but that designation came quickly and inevitably as his food and values resonated with many in Hawaii. His four restaurants are hot spots for locals and tourists alike, and his locally inspired culinary creations have spoken for themselves. It doesn’t hurt that Kenney, 48, is cool — his easy-going style, friendly personality and thoughtfulness give him an air of undisputable authenticity. Now he has a TV show — “Family Ingredients” on PBS — to add to his resume, and that’s changed the way he runs his four businesses. After a first season that won a regional Emmy, he’s starting to be OK with the idea — though it was a tough sell at first.

OCTOBER 28, 2016

COVER STORY Not another food show Local filmmaker Heather Giugni was searching for a television show idea that could showcase local storytelling in a way that could be both interesting and authentic, and attract funding.

“I asked for advice from a director in Venice in 2011, and he said shows that were getting funded at the time were about mothers, babies and food,” Giugni said.

Giugni was inspired after watching a show with another celebrity chef, Anthony Bourdain, about the Hudson River and food from the area.

“It was really about the community, and I thought that’s how I get to tell the story — I can follow genealogy through food, and trace a dish back to its origin,” Giugni said.

Giugni first met Kenney when he was a panelist at a local event, and after seeing him interact on stage, she knew she had found her host.

“He was casual, cool and funny, and I knew he was the one,” Giugni said. “He didn’t know it, but I sure did.”

And there was never a second choice, even after Kenney brushed her off.

“I was going to do whatever it took, because we needed him for the show to work.”

It took her two years to convince Kenney.

“She approached me every quarter for a period of two years, and I wanted nothing to do with it,” Kenney said. “I had come to despise food television in how it has become a spectator sport, finding entertainment out of the underbelly of what most chefs get into the business for — human connection.”

But Kenney started to see that human connection would be a major theme in this new show, and he began to see Giugni’s vision for it.

“She told me it was about telling Hawaii’s multiethnic food traditions through people,” Kenney said. “I liked the idea, but it was still vague, and I didn’t think I could be a host.”

Then Giugni sealed the deal with an offer Kenney couldn’t refuse: a trip to Japan with Alan Wong to eat at Michelin three-star sushi restaurant Sukiyabashi Jiro.

“Alan Wong really forged the way for this next generation of chefs through Hawaii Regional Cuisine, and to be able to go to Japan with him to eat at a restaurant owned by a Michelin star sushi chef with an 18-month waiting list ...,” Kenney said. “I was in.”

With funding from the Pacific Islanders in Communications, the crew set off for Japan: Giugni, co-producer Dan Nakasone, show director Ty Sanga, Wong, Kenney and about five local crew members.

“I met incredible people, and ate incredible food, but I didn’t truly enjoy the experience,” Kenney said. “I think being in front of the lens is either something you love or hate, and I really hate being on camera.

“Some chefs set out to be celebrities, and that just wasn’t my goal, I had absolutely no desire to be in the limelight,” he said. “I just wanted to feed people good food.”

The Hawaii Regional Cuisine movement This was Wong’s first project with Kenney, though the two chefs got to know each other

“

Even though Ed is an experienced chef, he’s always looking to learn and he’s respectful of how other people manage their kitchens and create their dishes. He loves spontaneity, moving around, and hands-on participation.”

years ago through community events.

Wong, who shot the pilot episode with Kenney before the show was picked up by PBS, is proud to have been a part of a successful show from the beginning.

“It’s wonderful to see how far the show has come,” Wong said. “Japan is one of my favorite food [locations], and I always enjoy my trips there. I always learn something new with every trip that I take, and the experience we had filming ‘Family Ingredients’ was a very memorable one. Every chef and farmer that we met had something important to share with us, and I’m happy to have met each of them.”

Wong is also one of the founders of the Hawaii Regional Cuisine movement, a coordinated effort to link local farmers with the restaurant industry to promote locally sourced ingredients, developing Hawaii cuisine as a reflection of the community.

“They really paved the way for us, made a conscious effort to support local farms and integrate local ingredients and since then it has snowballed since I opened Town in 2011,” Kenney said.

Wong says the effort has come a long way from when he first started, and the collective effort has truly changed the way people perceive Hawaiian food.

“We have many more farmers and locally grown products than ever before, and that’s a great resource for all of the chefs,” Wong said. “There are still people that think that if you throw a pineapple on something that it automatically becomes a Hawaiian dish, and cuisine in Hawaii is so much more than that.

Twenty years ago, who would have thought

that poke would be a hot national food trend?”

Wong hopes that will eventually mean Hawaii is recognized as a culinary destination in a similar vein as New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo.

The real deal After filming a season of half-hour episodes, Kenney said he has warmed to the show, but he still doesn’t love the process of being on camera and finds it hard to watch the episodes.

“I like that it’s the antithesis of food shows, and it’s fun to meet people and hear them tell their story,” Kenney said. “I can also weave my own values and politics into it about conservation, and tell these fascinating stories about immigration and things people weren’t aware of.”

Kenney’s distaste for being on camera resulted in him being unapologetically himself, which seems to have struck a chord with viewers.

“The pressure of being articulate and entertaining and charming ... it sucks,” Kenney said. “But people seem to like that I’m not polished, that I’m clearly not a Hollywood host.”

According to Giugni, what you see is what you get with Kenney.

“He never tries to be anyone else. He’s hilarious without intending to be funny, and he’s very authentic in front of the camera,” said Giugni. “Once he started to feel comfortable, things fell into place, and it’s been magical. He is so fabulous to work with, and I’m just grateful to him for letting this experience CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

ED’S TOWN Ed Kenney opened his first restaurant, Town, on Waialae Avenue in Kaimuki, in 2011. In the past two years, he’s added three more restaurants to his growing empire, including one in Waikiki.

take place.”

PBS Hawaii President and CEO Leslie Wilcox thought it surprising that Kenney never saw himself as a television host considering his family lineage but echoed Giugni’s sentiments about his authenticity in front of the camera.

“Ed has amazing stage presence in his blood —his father is the hugely talented singer Ed Kenney and his mother is the very gifted hula dancer Beverly Noa,” Wilcox said. “Ed has the gift of being himself in any situation, even with the unblinking eye of a TV camera locked on him. He’s always in jeans and a T-shirt, and, of course, he’s got those tattoos. He’s one of those people that the camera loves.”

Unlike many TV hosts who insert themselves as the focal point, Kenney doesn’t draw attention to himself, instead becoming “a fluid part of the activities.” His respect for his guests and his obvious interest in their stories reflect the core theme of the show: authentic representations of family, food, culture, history and genealogy.

“Even though Ed is an experienced chef, he’s always looking to learn and he’s respectful of how other people manage their kitchens and create their dishes,” Wilcox said. “He loves spontaneity, moving around and handson participation. He asks good questions. And he truly listens to the answers.”

Building bridges, not walls “Family Ingredients” is funded by PBS Hawaii and by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting via a subgrant of $48,550 to the Pacific Islanders in Communications, an organization which funds projects for Pacific Islanders, “giving them a voice and bring that voice to national media,” according to executive director Leanne Ferrer.

“We got involved with ‘Family Ingredients’ because Heather Giugni is one of our previously funded producers, and while the show is not a documentary — a genre more apt to secure funding and more likely to be distributed — we loved the idea of a travel foodie show that showcased Hawaii local culture,” Ferrer said. “It’s a great way to get PIC involved in another genre of shows that we could develop and distribute through PBS.” PIC co-produced the entire series with Rock Salt Media — Giugni’s company — which owns the production.

distributed and picked up nationally, however, and went with Giugni and Kenney to the PBS annual meeting in Chicago to promote the series to the entire public television system.

According to Ferrer, Kenney was key to promoting the show.

“Once they met him, they fell in love with him. That’s just Ed,” Ferrer said. “Going in to the meetings, I knew people weren’t expecting how unique this show is. They expected a small series of stories out of Hawaii and didn’t realize how universal these stories are — about food connecting to childhood and memories.”

PIC has partnered again with Rock Salt Media for a second season, which is expected to air next summer.

“We believe in this series,” Ferrer said.

“The timing is also perfect with the political climate of debate around immigrants — this show is really an [ode] to immigrants and how immigration makes Hawaii unique, and America such a great place to live. We’re not building walls, we’re building bridges.”

In addition to visiting Jiro’s restaurant in the pilot episode, Wong and Kenney traced the origins of tamago kake gohan, or raw egg over hot rice, one of Wong’s childhood favorites, to a 300-year-old farmhouse in Japan.

This simple meal outshined Kenney’s experience at Jiro’s.

“It was rice that our host had grown and polished, a bright orange egg yolk from a chicken he raised and soy sauce from soy beans that he had grown and fermented,” Kenney said. “It absolutely blew me away.”

Another example of the history embedded in dishes came when Kenney met with Califor-

nia chef Traci Des Jardins while tracing the origins of pipikaula, or Hawaiian beef jerky, to the Mexican vaqueros who migrated from Northern California to the Islands in the 1800s.

In the first episode of the second season, Kenney meets with a guest in California whose father was part of the surf migration that came to Hawaii in the 1960s. In another episode, he traces the origin of his favorite meal — pork adobo — to the Philippines.

Due to his even-crazier schedule, Kenney has had to do something challenging in order to keep his four restaurants running at home: delegate.

“Being away is something I have struggled with, because I am so used to being hands-on, but I’m learning to handle it and becoming more comfortable with delegating,” Kenney said. “We now have a director of operations who oversees the managers of all the restaurants, and I have help from Dave Caldiero, who is the director of food.”

On Sundays, things slow down On Sunday, Kenney’s three Kaimuki restaurants — Town, Kaimuki Superette and Mud Hen Water — close for the day, and the chef puts everything aside for quality time with his wife, Kristen, who’s known as Spanky, and their two kids, Celia and Duke.

“I usually turn the phone off, and we head out of town, but we always make it back in time to watch the sunset,” Kenney said.

“Being in the restaurant business, sunsets are a rarity, so it’s priceless to be able to watch it on Sundays, from the front porch, with my family.”

A N E W M O D E R N SA N C T UA RY I N WA I K I K I Oahu’s beloved Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki and Golf Club, a favorite retreat for global travelers and kamaaina for more than 25 years, has embarked on an extensive $55.4 million redevelopment and repositioning aimed at attracting the next generation of travelers heading to the Aloha State for leisure and business.

Once completed in spring 2017, the property will emerge as a brand new hotel. All of its thoughtful design and rebranding elements will share the story of its Waikiki location’s intriguing history and heritage as a prominent gathering place, in ancient times rich with a variety of limu. The eight-month refurbishment marks the hotel’s first major remodel since its grand opening on April 20, 1990.

Each of the 563 re-imagined oceanfront guest rooms and suites will offer panoramic ocean and sunset views with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. A modern design gives nod to the hotel’s sense of place and is complete with new furniture, fixtures and amenities.

“In working with our design team and identifying our Hawaiian heritage, we decided to focus on key elements that would really elevate our sense of place and bring our story to life throughout the resort,” said Donn Takahashi, president of Prince Resorts Hawaii. “They are the muliwai, or abundant, thriving estuary; the Pi‘inaio, a convergence of three fresh water streams from the mountains; the naio flower, which is an indigenous restorative plant; the hinana, which is a nourishing juvenile fish; and limu ‘ele‘ele which is a rejuvenating seaweed.”

Extraordinary guest experiences with elevated personalized services will meet the needs and expectations of today’s travelers while providing a place of respite and rejuvenation.

A redesigned lobby, highlighted by an exclusive ceiling installation designed by acclaimed local artist Kaili Chun, will provide a place to gather, relax and connect. A new and engaging dining experience featuring fresh island cuisine and an active bar is to come for the discerning palate. A signature infinity edge swimming pool with unparalleled ocean

views, an exclusive club lounge, enhanced meeting spaces and so much more await.

With the lobby, guest rooms and restaurants scheduled for completion this December, now is the perfect time to plan your winter staycation. Kamaaina are invited to be among the first to experience the new hotel.

Ideally situated at the gateway to Waikiki, Hawaii Prince is an ideal location at the epicenter of Oahu’s four most exciting neighborhoods – downtown/Chinatown Honolulu, Kakaako, Ala Moana and, of course, Waikiki. A complimentary shuttle provides convenient access to Waikiki, Ala Moana Center and, for the golf lovers, Hawaii Prince Golf Club in Ewa Beach.

Bank of Hawaii hired Jon Bargfrede as senior vice president and consumer lending manager-West Pacific, Nichole Shimamoto as senior vice president and Andrew Downes deputy chief compliance officer and Andrew Downes as senior vice president and personal banking manager

Michael Rogers was recently named chief agriculture officer at Smart Yields, a mobile application for farmers.

Rogers, 34, previously worked for DuPont Pioneer Hawaii in Waialua, where he was a field technician, and at Blue Planet Healing, where he was cultivation manager for a proposed medical marijuana dispensary.

Rogers was born in Kofu, Japan, the son of entrepreneur Henk Rogers, and moved to Hawaii with his family at age 8. He is a graduate of Mid Pacific Institute and earned a bachelor’s degree in tropical plants and soil science with a focus on plant production and management from the University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources after working as a gem dealer.

Tell me a little about your job: I talk to numerous farmers, gather the problems they face on their farms and work with our tech guys to create high-tech and practical solutions. The information gathered through sensors and other inputs belongs to the farmer. This allows them to make better decisions on the farm, but knowing more about your own farm will only get you so far. The key is in the aggregate, anonymous data gathered from all farms and the models and conclusions we can create from it.

It’s like that movie “Moneyball” but for crops.

Why I took this job: “To empower small and medium-sized farmers with smart technology.” That is Smart Yield’s mission statement.

It aligns with my personal mission to save the world with sustainable agricultural development in third-world and other isolated communities.

William K. Tanaka William K. Tanaka joined First Hawaii Title Corp. as president

Erin Takamine KPMG LLP promoted Erin Takamine to managing director from senior manager

Like most about the job: I’m surrounded by people who are passionate about creating a positive impact on the world. Smart Yields is a business that exists at the intersection of agriculture, technology and sustainability. This means I get to work with good people in each of those sectors.

Like least about the job: I like the job so much that I have a hard time balancing the work with spending time with my family.

COURTESY MICHAEL ROGERS

Immediate priority: Sign on more farms to the Smart Yields platform and build more features into the platform. With more feedback from farmers, we can build a smarter system that would bring more benefits to the agricultural community.

Long-term challenge: Increase our coverage into the third world. The sooner we can get there, the sooner we can increase sustainability in those regions and the more fertile those soils will be to feed future generations.

Strategy to overcome challenge: It all comes down to technology.

The sensors are getting better and cheaper as are the technologies that keep them powered and connected. Smart Yields is the software that connects these technologies to empower the farmer. The more data we collect, the smarter the software becomes and the more efficient agriculture becomes.

PROPERTIES OF THE PACIFIC Recognized Sharon Au with the Top Listor Award for September and the Top Salesperson and Top Producer awards for the third quarter

Biggest challenges in my industry: Finding the right people. While finding talent is difficult enough, finding talent with passion is a rare gem.

HONOLULU HOMELOANS For September, recognized Regan Onikama as its top residential mortgage producer

Five-year vision for the industry: We’re looking at the very beginning of the second green revolution. The first green revolution happened between 60 to 80 years ago.

High-yielding uniform grain crops were created, triggering a sort of an industrialization of agriculture that involved large machinery and synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

This second green revolution involves making these operations not bigger but smarter. Technology and data will drive farms to be more sustainable all around the world over the next 20 years.

hen Brandon Young set out to open Boa Sushi Cafe, his goal was simple: provide customers with a sanctuary where the music is good, the service is fast and the food keeps them returning for more.

Young’s establishment is fairly new to Bishop Street — the restaurant officially opened on Aug. 7 — and caters mostly to Honolulu’s professional crowd looking for a quick meal during work-week lunch hours. For those not in a rush to return to the daily grind, the sushi cafe features a bar-stool area and some tables where people are invited to enjoy their meals in a feng shui-inspired space. As head chef and owner, Young has two employees, one of which is his younger half sister. He said he’s still working on refining his menu and told PBN that owning his own business was something he always wanted to do.

Q&A BY ANNA HRUSHKA

When did you first know you were an entrepreneur? Probably around the age of 24 or 25.

TINA YUEN

How did you get started? My first job was senior year in high school at Teddy’s Bigger Burgers. I saw it grow from a small business to something big. Afterward, it was really sporadic. I stumbled upon this restaurant, it was called Restaurant Run, in the early 2000s. Everything was made by hand and really cool.

I was like, “Hey, what’s this?” Then I came in, started as a dishwasher, and they eventually started teaching me how to do stuff. It was kind of cool to learn and there was good camaraderie with everybody. I just kept going from there. ... After that, I worked in a lot of restaurants on Oahu. That wasn’t my purpose to really be jumping around restaurants and stuff, I just kind of went with it. A year or two years, and then I’d switch. Now I think of it as experience.

How did you come up with your concept? Originally, I wanted to do a sushi bar kind of thing, but with downtown lunch, it’s kind of different. For the market, it’s kind of fast. You’ve got a few hours and that’s it. It’s high tide and low tide.

So, I kind of switched my concept a little. I’m doing something that’s still using the sushi flavors, but

incorporating a full meal. I’m sill working on it. It’s been a few months. Lots of different things came up that I didn’t expect. My setup was not bootstrap, but it was pretty cut and dry. But it’s going to get better.

Who are your customers? Mostly lunch-hour customers. In the evenings, its like a ghost town here.

Everybody’s working, so at night time, they want to get out. They don’t want to stay and hang out here.

Who are your competitors? There are a few sushi places that sell the traditional sushi with other stuff. I don’t like to look around. I just do what I like to do. And if people like it, they can come. If not, there are a lot of other places they can go. My

philosophy is real simple — use good quality stuff and don’t try to charge an arm and a leg for it. And I think you should be OK, because people are going to keep coming back.

What’s the biggest reward of owning a business? It’s the biggest challenge. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. Now I have it, I can’t fail.

What is your one piece of advice for other entrepreneurs? Do what you like to do regardless of what anybody else tells you. You know yourself the best. A lot of times, you know the right thing.

What’s the biggest challenge of owning a business? You see the light at end of tunnel, but there’s no turning back. Mentally, it’s hard on the mind. Long hours, 20-hour days, it’s crazy.

What do you wish you had known before starting a business? I think only you know when you’re ready.

Things will open up. That’s how things happen, if it’s meant to be.

What is the biggest surprise about owning a business? The lack of sleep and dedication it takes. It’s a lot of time, energy and love. I love seeing people come back, smiling and saying it’s good and thank you.

What is your top seller? I do a chirashi, I call it the Boa chirashi.

Just fresh fish, maybe tuna, yellow tail, salmon — it’s kind of black and white. It’s good.

What do you do in your free time?

I train at the Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Ronn Shiraki Academy. It helps me manage my stress and anxiety.

How did you decide on the décor?

Feng shui. We have the wood and the water. As long as you have those, you’re supposed to have peace of mind in your workplace.

I’ve got a picture of a wave.

Something to look at while I’m working.

Where do you get your best ideas? From inspirational chefs. I hardly watch TV, so mostly from Instagram stuff. Also, when you go out, you see and hear people talk, saying, “Hey this place is good.” I think word of mouth is the most powerful thing.

Clearing, pledging, linking, wondering Workplaces, Revisited In our second outing of Hawaii’s Best Workplaces, we tweaked the format a bit in a way that might A. Kam Napier have been Editor-In-Chief’s unclear, based Notebook on feedback from a couple of this year’s honorees. In case anyone is wondering: There were no finalists and winners this year, simply honorees. The 23 businesses and nonprofits honored last week are all the Best Workplaces, earning scores on employee surveys high enough to be singled out for the honor. Other companies participated but did not earn scores high enough on their employee surveys to be included — though several of these came close, and we hope they’ll keep trying!

At the event last week, and in the Best Workplaces cover story, we revealed the scores earned by our honorees as determined by the employee research conducted

by Quantum Workplace. We also handed the microphone over to the three businesses with the highest scores in the small, medium and large business categories to say a few words, but we didn’t mean for the other businesses in those categories to think they were just finalists behind them.

Hope that clears things up!

we have in common — telling Hawaii’s stories, making sense of the world around us. A highlight of my week, every week, is visiting the station to do a 90-second business news spot that airs Friday mornings during “Morning Edition.” Based on how often readers tell me, “Hey, I heard you on the radio!” I’m sure a lot of you are HPR listeners and supporters so, if you pledged, thanks!

phones during Hawaii Public Radio’s fall fund drive last week, with representatives from the newsroom, sales and circulation.

HPR wrapped up the drive last Friday having raised $872,162, about $64,000 shy of its goal.

Expect a little extra fundraising in the coming weeks to make up the difference. The drive did set a couple of records including the highest amount raised on the first day of the drive ($80,947) and the highest number of new member sign-ups (922). HPR did take a three-hour break out of the drive to carry the third presidential debate and accompanying NPR analysis, so it may have lost a little ground there.

During our visit, I had a chance to go on-air with HPR News Director Bill Dorman and HPR Host Nick Yee, talking about what

Map of Darkness On Wednesday, we reported that Hawaiian Electric Co. had just launched an online map showing power outages in real time. OK, my first thought was, “How am I supposed to see that if my power is out?” But, of course, people would be able to see it as long as their smartphones have power or if they’re checking on their home neighborhood from work and vice versa. Check it out at www.hawaiianelectric.com/ outagemap.

Do Tax Credits Work?

Commentary from the Tax Foundation of Hawaii caught my eye this week. Foundation President Tom Yamachika explores the findings of California’s Legislative Analyst’s Office, which tried to determine if tax credits and incentives for TV and movie productions actually helped the economy in that state. The finding was mixed. About $1 out of every $3 ended up going to productions that were going to film in California anyway. The LAO concluded, however, that despite minimal gains, California could

hardly afford to give up the credit since most other states offer one, too.

Hawaii instituted a film production tax credit in 1997 and increased it in 2013. Does it work as advertised? Yamachika points out it’s impossible to answer that — this state has never done a study to find out.

Many Hands In mid-December, the Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki will unveil a work of art in its lobby, part of its $55.4 million makeover of its public spaces. Hawaii artist Kaili Chun designed the ceiling installation, called Hulali i ka la, or “glistening in the sun,” which comprises 800 shining pieces of copper representing the belly fin of the hinana fish, which lived in the now-vanished Piinaio Stream that once flowed through that part of Waikiki. The pieces were hammered into shape under Chun’s directions by the employees and partners of the hotel and their families, stamping their name and a personal message on each one.

Neat!

PBN readers will recall that one of our 40 Under 40 honorees this year, architect Stephanie Hsu of G70, earned her place among the 40 in part for her role in this project. She had convinced the Hawaii Prince to double its budget for what had been meant as a routine lobby refresh and take it in a new direction by incorporating the Hawaiian history and legends of the site.

Looking forward to seeing the installation.

A new role in store for TinaYamaki T

ina Yamaki is still settling in to her new role as president of the Retail Merchants Association, but the job description is not too different than the work she has done in the past.

Previously, she worked for the Hawaii Lodging and Tourism Association, a job she thought would be temporary before setting off for law school. But she found herself still there 23 years later, in love with the industry and the place some people save up for their whole lives to visit.

“I was living their dream every day,” Yamaki said.

As the executive director of the HLTA, Yamaki lobbied to pass bills important to the hospitality industry, including the inception of the Hawaii Tourism Authority.

“The work we did for the hotel association is similar to what we do at Retail Merchants: It’s about advocacy and selling ideas,” Yamaki said.

She left her position in 2013 to delve into the retail world as sales director for Roberts Hawaii luxury line, and after she showcased her ability to promote and sell, she was promoted to the marketing manager position.

Retail Merchants of Hawaii, a trade association that has about 200 members in every realm of the retail industry, had always been in

Yamaki’s line of sight. In 2013, right after she accepted the position with Robert’s Hawaii, there was an opening for a new president but the timing was off.

“I had so many people bring it up to me, but it was bad timing and I am always loyal to those who hire me,” Yamaki said. “But I always wondered, what if?”

After a brief stint as director of business support for PBS Hawaii, the position opened up again and Yamaki jumped on it.

She started as president of the association in September, and since her start, she has been busy meeting with members and getting up to speed on their thoughts on the industry while preparing industry positions for the upcoming legislative session.

What are some of the industry challenges? Most of our members want fewer rules and regulations and don’t want any new taxes. But they also struggle with finding quality employees. There are constantly job openings in the retail industry but the challenge is finding those employees that are up to everyone’s standards.

What is the biggest challenge of the job? It’s a one-woman job. The Retail Merchants of Hawaii has a staff of one, but I do have help from our board members and executive committee. There just isn’t enough time in the day to do everything, like meeting with individuals, organizing events and learning about all of the rules in the retail industry.

The industry is huge and very important in Hawaii — in 2015, the annual sales for retail was over 31.1 billion, and the industry employs 25

percent of Hawaii’s workforce. Our 200 members that represent about 200,000 brick and mortars, so there is always work to do.

What is the biggest reward? This really is my dream job, and when you love your job it’s not just a paycheck. You look forward to coming to work, and when you have great members you don’t mind doing a little more and staying a little later for them. It’s also a great industry to be in, because it serves both locals and visitors. Everyone who visits here brings something back home — whether it’s a shirt, cookies or a Louis Vuitton bag. We serve the locals not just through providing products they need, but also through jobs.

What is the most important lesson you’ve learned? Never be afraid to ask questions, because that is the only way you are going to learn.

What do you hope to accomplish in the future as president? I want to make sure retail merchants have a strong and unified voice in the Legislature, I want to bring in more members, and provide services and benefits to those members. We will also have a monthly newsletter coming out shortly that will inform the community of all retail news.
