HRS §201H-229
How the corporation can take private land
This section lets the corporation take private property, even if it is already used by the public, when needed for its projects. It must follow the state's condemnation rules. Once taken, the property cannot be used for another public purpose without the corporation's permission. Also, the property's value cannot be increased just because of the redevelopment plan or the corporation's actions.

The statute, as written — Condemnation of real property
The corporation, upon making a finding that it is necessary to acquire any real property for its immediate or future use for the purposes of this part, may acquire the property, including property already devoted to a public use, by condemnation pursuant to chapter 101. The property shall not thereafter be taken for any other public use without the consent of the corporation. No award of compensation shall be increased by reason of any increase in the value of real property caused by the designation of the urban redevelopment site or plan adopted pursuant to a designation, or the actual or proposed acquisition, use, or disposition of any other real property by the corporation.
