Waikiki, Hawaii--R.D. Olson Construction has been contracted to build a Dave & Buster’s in Waikiki Beach, Hawaii. This will be the tenth Dave & Buster’s the construction company has built for the popular entertainment-style restaurant chain.

R.D. Olson Construction will provide general contracting services for tenant improvements to a newly constructed building, transforming it into a three-story adult playground and restaurant. Dave & Buster’s will be a major anchor tenant of the shopping center, which currently is under construction. The project cost for building the 44,000-square-foot facility is $6.5 million.

“As a primary contractor for Dave & Buster’s, we enjoy the opportunity to use our imaginations in building structures, which are designed to entertain,” said Dennis Reyling, president, R.D. Olson Construction.

In addition to spouting its usual turbo rides, billiards tables and pinball games, this Dave & Buster’s will also have a rooftop dining area overlooking Waikiki Beach and the Pacific Ocean. It was designed by Texas-based Melvin R. Fain Architects, Inc.

R.D. Olson Construction will begin building the action-packed restaurant in March 2001. It is scheduled for completion in summer 2001.

R.D. Olson Construction was founded in 1979 by Robert Olson. The company has since built such well-known establishments as the Northpark Plaza, Irvine; Oak Creek Village Center, Irvine; and Morton’s of Chicago, Vancouver, British Columbia. R.D. Olson Construction is the twelfth largest company of its kind in Orange County with offices in Honolulu, Hawaii and Las Vegas, Nev. The company’s corporate headquarters is in Irvine, Calif.
