As we reported a couple months ago, eRealty is planning to set up two pools at the adjacent Yacht Harbor Tower (YHT).  One pool will be a modification of the existing one, where it used to be for many years, with a new Bar.  On the picture below, this is the area with the green-looking pool, on the left (the picture is outdated, there is no water in that pool now).  The other pool – VIP Pool, along with Sky Bar – is planned to be developed on the upper deck, i.e., the area on top of the ballrooms, with a winding stair case to it from the lower level pool deck. (P.S.: A clarification for visitors: the area pictured looks neglected because it has been subject to renovation for over two years. That area used to be part of the Ilikai complex, from the days it was developed by Chinn Ho in the 1960s till 2006 when Anekona split it. Yacht Harbor Tower was not developed as a stand-alone property, but rather as an annex to the main Ilikai Tower; and they still have ways to go to become a stand-alone property, incl. a need to build their own loading dock, refuse system, liquor license, etc.)

So what is the status of that VIP pool?  The latest we heard from a reliable external source about two weeks ago is that eRealty’s contractors are half way finished with beam installation at the side below the VIP Pool, i.e., the re-enforcement.

No word yet re eRealty’s application for a liquor license.
