Welcome to another edition of our newsletter!
Today’s businesses rely on fast Internet speeds more than ever. The Internet plays an
active role in every aspect of business, from operations and accounting to marketing, and
even being able to provide excellent customer service. The speed your Internet service
provider offers not only impacts your business’ response time, it also affects the quality of
your customer’s experience. In fact, enhancing the customer’s experience is a key driver of
satisfaction and loyalty, both of which are vital to any bottom line.

The Shidler Group recognizes the growing demand for fast and reliable Internet service,
which is why we partnered with Hawaii Dialogix Telecom (HDT) to provide a dedicated 10
mbps symmetrical circuit, complimentary to all Davies Pacific Center tenants. If you are
currently receiving the building’s complimentary Internet service, please note that service
with the original Cisco LRE modem terminated on Sunday, May 31, 2015. In order to continue
service without interruption, or to begin taking advantage of the complimentary service,
please contact HDT at 808-440-8700, or email [email protected].

Another major change for retailers and the community takes effect July 1, 2015, as we gear
up for an island-wide ban on plastic bags. It is a habit - we head to the grocery store, get
everything we need, then put it in a plastic bag. It’s the same routine many of us have had
for decades, but in about one month, that will change. No more plastic bags when you check
out. Non-recyclable paper bags will also be banned. We will only be allowed to use paper
bags and compostable bags, but not traditional plastic bags. It will be a little bit of a learning
curve for most of us, but please be encouraged in knowing that the change will help decrease
pollution and protect our environment. Honolulu is the last county in Hawaii to make the
switch. Are you ready for the switch? Please see page 5 for details on the ban on
plastic bags.

The Davies Pacific Center Management team and building staff are
grateful for the relationship we have with all of our tenants, and we hope
that you find our newsletters to be helpful regarding the activities at the
Davies Pacific Center.
We welcome and value your comments, so please feel free to e-mail me

Otto Cakes FEATUR ED TE NA N T
The Perfect Cheesecake.
One of the newer members of the
Davies Pacific Center family of tenants is Otto Cakes, a familiar name,
especially if you’re a dessert lover.
Located on the Queen Street side of
the building on the ground floor, Otto
Cakes features many of the popular
cheesecake flavors and assorted
brownies offered at its main Kaimuki
store. The owner, Otto, makes more
than 250 different varieties of cheesecakes from scratch. With flavors
such as Maple Bacon, Cookie Butter,
Root Beer Float, Caramel Apple,
Butterscotch, Cotton Candy, and Red
Velvet, you may be surprised to learn
that the overwhelming crowd favorite
is the Plain cheesecake, which is by
no means plain!
Here’s a short Q&A with the owner
himself, Otto.
What made you decide to open your
second location at Davies Pacific
Center? When we were at our China-
02 | OTTO CAKE
town location, many of our customers
walked over from the downtown office
buildings. Opening a second location
at Davies allowed us to continue to
serve our loyal downtown customers. So far, it’s been working out
really well.
How’d you get started in the cheesecake business? My mother loved
cheesecake, so one day, I decided
to make one for her as a gift, and it
turned out great. Then, a couple of
weeks later, I made one and took
it to work. I got eight orders from
co-workers that day. That was the
start of it. And, I’ve been in business
now for 25 years. In addition to our
two locations, we provide cheesecake to many of the restaurants
around town.
What makes your cheesecake unique?
I think it’s not so much that our
cheesecake is unique, it’s that other
people’s cheesecakes don’t taste like
cheesecake should. If you taste our
cheesecake blindfolded, you’ll know
its cheesecake. That’s the main difference. And, of course, everything
we make is from scratch and baked
fresh daily.
With over 250 flavors of cheesecake,
how do customers know what’s
available on any given day? The best
way to find out what we’re offering is
by following us on Instagram. We’ll
post the flavors we have that day and
any specials we have going on as
well. Or, just stop by our Kaimuki
shop on 12th Avenue or our Davies
Pacific Center shop, which is on the
ground floor, next to Ahi Lovers on
Queen Street.

Developing a Better Tomorrow.
This July, DeBartolo Development
will celebrate its 1st anniversary as
a tenant of Davies Pacific Center.
The DeBartolo name is well-known
among the real estate industry as
well as the sporting world. Longtime San Francisco 49er fans may
remember that Eddie DeBartolo,
Jr. was the owner of the franchise
during the Joe Montana and Jerry
Rice era, when the team won five
Super Bowl championships. Today,
DeBartolo Development continues
its winning ways in the real estate
field, with successful investment
projects throughout the United
States. Currently, their largest
project just so happens to be right
here in Hawaii, the Ka Makana Ali’i
development in West Oahu.
Here’s a short Q&A with Rich Hartline,
Vice President of Development.
As a developer, you obviously know
a thing or two about evaluating
properties, so what made you decide
to locate your office space at Davies
Pacific Center? We were looking for
a space in the downtown business
district and Davies Pacific Center
turned out to be the ideal location.
We’re within walking distance to many
of our business partners. The office
space itself was also perfect for our
needs, just the right size and ready to
move in. Denise and her team run a
first-class operation; we’ve been here
nearly a year and are very happy with
our decision.
Tell us a little about the Ka Makana
Ali’i project. West Oahu is one of the
fastest growing regions in the state.
Ka Makana Ali’i will reside in Kapolei
and is the first regional shopping
center to be built on Oahu in more than
three decades. When complete, Ka
Makana Ali’i will be the gathering place
for West Oahu residents and visitors. It
will consist of more than 150 shopping,
dining, and entertainment options, as
well as two hotels and office space.
Construction is already under way
with the first phase scheduled to be
complete next year.
include: Macy’s, H&M, Forever 21,
AT&T, Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic,
Rix and Town & Country Surf Designs.
It’ll have the first Hampton Inn and
Suites in Hawaii. Plus, there’ll be movie
theatres and restaurants, including a
few well-known eateries that will be
entering the Hawaii market for the first
time. We envision Ka Makana Ali’i to be
a family-friendly town center, where
people can find everything they need,
all in one place. This is something the
community needs and deserves.
Does DeBartolo Development have
any other projects in Hawaii? Besides
Ka Makana Ali’i, we have the Aqua
Pearl Resort in Waikiki, which we’ll
be enhancing over the next few years.
And, we’re always on the look out for
new opportunities both here and on
the neighbor islands. We relocated our
West Coast main office from Arizona
to Hawaii last year, as we’re very much
committed to the Hawaii market.
So, what can West Oahu residents
look forward to? Some of the tenants
that have already come on board

Fourth Annual Kaka‘ako Community Cleanup
The Fourth Annual Kaka’ako Community Cleanup was held on April
18th, in celebration of Earth Day 2015. This year’s event focused
on cleaning and sprucing up Mother Waldron Park with additional
cleanup efforts extending down both the Mauka and Makai sides of
Pohukaina/Halekuwila Streets from Cooke Street to South Street, and
ending at Waterfront Plaza.
The cleanup included picking up trash, pulling weeds, and removing
debris from the street, park, and gutters. The team of over 100 volunteers also removed graffiti, painted the playground equipment, painted
and stenciled the storm drains as part of the city’s “No Dumping”
campaign, and painted the park’s restrooms.

This annual event is sponsored by: The Shidler Group, Totally Against
Graffiti (T.A.G.), Kaka’ako Improvement Association, and Building

café/restaurant owner.
If you see her around the property, please don’t hesitate to say hello and
introduce yourself.
Vickie L. King
I was raised as a townie in Jamesport, Missouri, and grew
up with hardworking parents who continue a forty-year
tradition in the construction business.
In 1992, I decided to become a globe-trotting Marine
(Aviation-Flight Line Supply). After attending boot camp
in Parris Island, South Carolina, I was stationed in Yuma,
Arizona for three years and Iwakuni, Japan for fourteen months. After serving in
the military, I was a Correctional Officer in a minimum-security men’s prison in
Cameron, Missouri for over a year.
In 1997, I relocated to New York City to embark on a new career and worked as
an Administrative Assistant to the Trump Organization’s Security Director in
Property Management for five years. While working with the Trump Organization,
I obtained my New York real-estate license and worked as a sales agent for eight
years. For two years I worked as a Field Security Supervisor/Building Evacuation
Specialist for Classic Security. I joined Securitas Security in 2012, and worked
at The Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City as a Fire Safety Director/Supervisor.
I was granted a transfer to Honolulu in 2015, so I could be closer to a family
member who serves in the United States Army.
In my leisure time, I enjoy reading, exploring Hawaii and going to the beach. I also
don’t mind having a nice glass of Merlot with family and friends, paired with some
good food, of course!
