R.D. Olson Construction Introduces Popular Mainland Entertainment-Style Restaurant to the Aloha State 

HONOLULU, HAWAII--R.D. Olson Construction, specialists in building hotels, restaurants and retail complexes, has completed construction of Dave & Buster’s in Honolulu, Hawaii. It is located at the Ward Entertainment Center at 1030 Auahi St.

Olson provided general contracting services for tenant improvements to a newly constructed structure, transforming it into a three-story restaurant and entertainment center at a project cost of $7 million. It is the tenth Dave & Buster’s the Irvine, Calif.-based construction company has built for the popular entertainment-style restaurant chain, with most located in California.

“We are always delighted when we get repeat business from such a progressive company as Dave & Buster’s,” said Dennis Reyling, president, R.D. Olson Construction.

While the Hawaiian Dave & Buster’s will offer its usual turbo rides, billiards tables and video games, this facility will have an addition that the others don’t: a rooftop dining area overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The 44,000-square-foot facility will be a major anchor tenant of the theatre complex. It was designed by Texas-based Melvin R. Fain Architect, Inc.

Olson is also working on another project in Hawaii – Morton’s Steakhouse in the Ala Moana Shopping Center. Morton’s is scheduled for completion in November 2001.

R.D. Olson Construction was founded in 1979 by Robert Olson. The company has since built such well-known establishments as the Marriott TownePlace Suites, Hawthorne; Laguna Woods Town Centre, Laguna Woods; and Northpark Plaza, Irvine. Current Projects include Morton’s Steakhouse, Santa Ana, Calif. and Honolulu, Hawaii; and Homewood Suites and Hilton Garden Inn, a two-hotel resort in San Diego and the Biltmore Bowl, Los Angeles. R.D. Olson Construction is the twelfth largest company of its kind in Orange County with its corporate office in Irvine, Calif.
