Where in Hawaii would a good sports training facility go? -

My friend and I are working on a project for architecture. Our plan is to create some sort of training facility for olympic athletes. It would also be a place for museums, tours, sports medicine study, etc. somewhat similar to the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center in California. We want it to be located somewhere along a coastline like Hawaii for example. The problem is we don t know an ideal place. Do you know Hawaii well or some other place that would be good for our project ?

It is largely dependent on your budget. On the coast in an urban area can cost you $1000/square foot for the land. We have for the most part, run out of land here.150 acres is almost unheard of in Hawaii. The only recent project that comes to mind is the John Burns School of Medicine. You will need millions in funding. IF you can get the funding, then it opens a lot of possibilities. For a combination of convenience and cost, I would choose Waikele.
