Profile
Launiu - officially, The Launiu Ward Village - is a proposed ultra-luxury
condo project in Ward Village; a 60 acre master-planned community in Honolulu. Launiu will be the 11th residential project in Ward Village, once completed - a total of 14 projects are planned. The project will be 100% market rate units; no affordable or reserved housing units.
The project will have 2 structures with a total of 486 units, built on a 2.12 acre lot. Units will have 9 ft ceiling height, use Wolf & Sub-zero kitchen appliances with custom cabinets from Studio Becker.
The Residences
Tower
400 ft tall, 396 units with the same 12 unit floor plate from the 8th to 40th floor - 2 x Studio, 4 x 1 Bedroom, 4 x 2 Bedroom, 2 x 3 Bedroom (buyers can select to have either of the 3 Bedroom stacks configured as a 2 Bedroom, creating a larger living space). The east facing units will all have balconies, with a wavy facade.

Launiu Tower Floor Plans
8th to 40th floor
Podium
6 story structure, 90 units with the same 19 unit floor plate from the 2nd to 6th floor - 16 x Studio, 1 x 1 Bedroom and 2 x 2 Bedrooms. 1 elevator.
Note: The 2nd floor has 5 guest suites (located furthest north along Ward Ave) which means just 14 resident units on this floor.
Location
Launiu will be located at the west corner of Ala Moana Blvd / Ward Ave intersection - the opposite corner from
Kalae - and the address will be
928 Ala Moana Blvd. This is the last prime 'front row' project in Ward Village, except future projects Block D and Block E, which are expected to be at much higher price points.
Launiu will have a distance of about 300 ft to both
Alia and
Kalae - located on either side of Launiu, which is substantial and should be great for privacy and comfort.
Notice in the map below the lush green immediately behind (north of) Launiu, which is where
Auahi St currently runs. Auahi St will be redirected to curve north and connect with Pohukaina St.
