Ala Moana.
The project will have 315 units - 39 Studios, 135 1BR, 107 2B, 39 3BR - with four distinct types of residences:
-
Townhomes (6): Two-story residences with private yard, featuring double ceiling heights in the living area (20+ ft). Located on the 7th and 8th floor.

Muse Honolulu is a very unique project with a wide range of units - both in terms of sizes and design types - including studios up to 550 sf, 1BR up to 800 sf, large 2BR + Den with more than 1,500 sf and the largest 3BR around 2,800 sf. All units will have a balcony - many will be Juliet style - and the 15th floor, only, will boast some 2 and 3BR units that have close to 400 sf of lanai space! Ceiling heights are generous, built out wall to wall in the 9 to 10 ft range.
All residences will have wood flooring in living area and kitchen with carpet in bedrooms, with option to upgrade to wood flooring in bedrooms too. Only the 3BR's will come with wood flooring in the bedrooms and a wine fridge, as part of the standard package. All units are expected to have kitchen appliances from
Wolf Appliances with Sub-Zero fridge, Wolf ovens and Cove dishwasher. The project will also be offering various unit upgrade options.
Muse will include 256 bicycle stalls, 433 residential car parking stalls, 33 commercial parking stalls and 6 car-sharing stalls; the ladder being offered in 3 tandem stalls on the ground level.
