Business View Magazine | May/June 2022

24 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 5 partnering with upcoming small, disadvantaged companies for mentoring and finding set-aside procurement opportunities, and expanding their existing networking with potential clients, partners, subcontractors, designers, and others in the industry. Shintani adds, “We’re going to continue our focus on the DOD contracts, as well as the state and private development in housing. With the shortage of affordable housing, it’s a real issue so we’re going to pursue those types of projects. We also have special commercial private projects that we do, such as historic house renovations – a lot of them are on the military bases. The HUD company in Texas on the mainland gives us many different opportunities. We’ve done a lot of work for them in the past 15 years, and we want to continue to keep that good relationship with them. We may also look more actively into land acquisition and development of properties, both commercial and possibly residential – whether it’s renovating or building from the ground up.” Wherever the next few years take them, the Alan Shintani Inc. ownership team is dedicated and excited to grow the company through the new era of construction in Hawaii.
