New Hale Buildings
Significant milestones have been reached at Hale 13, where all irrigation and landscaping work is now officially complete. The project has moved through its final cleaning phases, including a thorough interior deep clean and a full exterior pressure wash. With these finishing touches finalized, the building has been formally turned over to BYU–Hawaii. Meanwhile, site work continues across the broader area, with a primary focus on the retention fields where grass is currently being established and continues to grow.

New TVA Buildings
Work on TVA Phase 2 is progressing rapidly. At Building A5, the exterior is fully painted and interior framing is complete. With drywall and flooring already installed, crews are finalizing plumbing and electrical fixtures. Cabinet and countertop installations are on track to be completed in all units by Dec. 24. At Building A6, all insulated concrete forms are grouted and roof trusses are in place on the east and north sides. Third-level rough-ins for plumbing, fire sprinklers, and electrical systems are currently underway.
In Phase 3, the site has been cleared following the abatement and demolition of Buildings J, K, L, and M. All debris has been removed, and teams are now focused on completing the essential electrical and sewer tie-ins for the next stage of construction.
