Former Bank of Hawaii Converting into Medical Marijuana Dispensary

A former Bank of Hawaii branch on Kapahulu Avenue is set to become a medical marijuana dispensary. Tradewind Capital Group and Colbert Matsumoto purchased the property a year ago for $4.5 million.

The 5,434-square-foot building will be converted into a dispensary in 2017, reports Pacific Business News. Although Tradewind is a real estate investment firm, it is the primary investor for Cure Oahu, which is one of the three medical marijuana dispensaries on Oahu to obtain a license.

Delays have prevented Hawaii dispensaries from opening. Some say that dispensaries could have been open as early as July 2016. Many dispensaries are expected to being opening in early 2017.
