Redevelopment in the works for International Marketplace

International Marketplace in Waikiki would be redeveloped if plans by landowner Queen Emma Land Co. come to fruition. The move to a would displace vendors from the historic bazaar that has been called a "shopping safari under canopies of banyan and palm trees." Built in 1955, the International Marketplace is not listed on any historic register. A Don the Beachcomber Restaurant, built in 1971, was located in a banyan tree on the site.
