New 43-Story Condo Planned for Kakaako

New 43-Story Condo Planned for Kakaako

 

According to “Honolulu Magazine” online, “By now you’ve heard that Kewalo Development, a subsidiary of A&B Properties Inc., has unveiled its plans for a 43-story, upscale residential condo between the Hawaiki and Koolani buildings. It looks nice, but what’s going to make it different from the other towers in the area?

In keeping with the trend to go green, A&B is incorporating a variety of energy-efficient technologies, including:

  • A heat recovery system to centrally heat hot water for all residences as well as the pool
  • LED lighting in the common areas
  • Lighting systems in the common areas to enable use as needed
  • Dual air conditioning controls in two- and three-bedroom residences
  • Low-emissivity, dual-paned windows

As the plans progress, the design team will continue to seek alternate means of reducing energy and water use.

One of the selling points is its walkability—the average Walkscore of condos in this area is 80—but they are featuring a lot of athletic/recreational amenities in the building, as well: A recreation deck with pool, spa, barbeques, private cabanas and lawn area; a club room with a full kitchen; a fitness center with separate weight and yoga rooms; a multi-purpose room; and a private movie theater. There will also be two guest suites for visitors, which is new and unusual for any condos here.

The tower, named Waihonua, will include 345 one-, two- and three-bedroom units that will start at $400,000, $565,000 and $720,000, fee simple. There will also be seven penthouse units.”

Allure Waikiki Condos – Renovations Completed

Monday, November 21st, 2011

Allure Waikiki Condos – Renovations Completed

According to “Honolulu” magazine, “The Allure unveiled the latest multi-million dollar renovations to their luxury condo on the edge of Waikiki last night, with modern, unique touches you won’t see anywhere else in Hawaii.”

“The most stunning upgrade, which was done at the request of current residents, is the newly designed lobby area. It was previously a huge expanse of space, but so cavernous and impersonal that residents didn’t spend time there. The new “cubes” help to section off parts of the lobby to create intimate spaces for working or lounging”

Kakaako Condo Project would Include Hawaii’s Tallest Building

Kakaako Condo Project would Include Hawaii’s Tallest Building

According to “Pacific Business News” online, “The state plans to issue a request for proposals in January for a developer to build two residential towers in Honolulu’s Kakaako neighborhood, one of which would be the tallest building in Hawaii.

The plans for 690 Pohukaina call for one tower with 300 affordable for-sale units and a second tower with 500 market-priced units. The second tower would be 650 feet high, nearly 250 feet taller than the First Hawaiian Center.

The project is slated for a parcel at 690 Pohukaina St., adjacent to developer Stanford Carr’s planned Halekauwila Place project, which is scheduled to break ground next year on 204 affordable rentals.

The Halekauwila Place project’s design has been integrated into the 690 Pohukaina conceptual plan since the two projects abut each other, said Anthony Ching, executive director of the Hawaii Community Development Authority, the state agency that has jurisdiction over and administers zoning regulations for the Kakaako district.

The increased height for the market-priced residential tower — Honolulu has a 400-foot height limit — would come out of the rules for transit-oriented development, which are being revised to increase density in anticipation of Honolulu’s rail transit project, Ching said.

The agency estimates that the project will mean $500 million for the state economy over seven years and create 500 construction jobs and 1,000 more indirect jobs.”

New Pacifica Honolulu Condo Building Almost Ready For Residents

Acccording to KITV.com, “Honolulu’s newest residential condominium tower is almost ready to open its doors.”

“Pacifica Honolulu held an opening ceremony and blessing Tuesday and residents will soon get their keys to move in.”

“The finishing touches are still being put on Pacifica Honolulu just days before the first residents move in.”

“Those residents include over 120 first time home buyers who were able to get units at reduced rates because they qualified for affordable housing. Others bought at prices starting at $445,000 for a one-bedroom unit. Now all but 19 of the 489 condos have been sold.”

“That is quite a change from two years ago, when the condo project stalled. It looked like it was headed for foreclosure after the housing boom went bust and home buyers backed out.”
