Overview: Honolulu Condo Developments
Kakaako
When you think of Honolulu development, the name on everyone's mind is Kakaako. What was once an industrial harbor for small mom and pop businesses and auto body shops alike, has now transformed into a dynamic neighborhood. Kakaako perfectly bridges Downtown and Ala Moana, and has emerged as Honolulu’s focal point for urban outdoor lifestyles, luxury living, and boutique enjoyment.
The creation of this burgeoning neighborhood is primarily the work of 2 major entities - Kamehameha Schools and The Howard Hughes Corporation, both of which own large parcels of land. The approach each took in developing the land has paved two distinct neighborhoods within Kakaako. Kamehameha Schools is selling off close to 29 acres to various developers to create what is known as Our Kakaako and in 2009, Howard Hughes purchased 60 acres of the land in Kakaako and began developing a ‘first of its kind’ master planned community called Ward Village.
Ward Village
Is Howard Hughes’ 60 Acre Master Planned Community, which is roughly defined by West Ward Ave (a few lots), Ala Moana Blvd on the South and Queen St as both eastern and northern borders due to its curved path. Ward Village, when completed, will be a carefully crafted 14 condo projects, but will not be defined by concrete sprawl. Hughes has planned a 4 acre "Victoria Ward Park" so the community will have ample room to breathe and enjoy the beauty of this place. The fact that Howard Hughes owns all of this land makes certain that its vision of integrated shopping and services, such as grocery stores, parking structures and dining options will be a certainty. These elements are an integral part of the Ward Village 'outdoor living space' lifestyle.

Our Kakaako
Is comprised of 9 city blocks on the edge of Downtown ranging across the cross streets of Cooke St., Keawe St. and Coral St. It's a place where entrepreneurs, artists, creatives, influencers, developers and more continue to flock to reshape the [once] industrial district into what is now a vivid, hip, local community that offers a vibrant place to live, work and play. The new developments will bring broader pedestrian paths & boulevards all over the district. Residents and visitors will enjoy a refreshing stroll at the end of the workday or walk to an enticing new restaurant nearby you've been always wanting to try. Alongside convenient shopping, you'll also find senior centers, recreation areas and playgrounds. All ages can find a new condo in Our Kakaako that feels welcoming and like home.
Our Kakaako is a planned community brought about by Kamehameha schools. The 29 acres that make up Our Kaka'ako will become a mixed-use, mixed-income neighborhood featuring a wide range of housing. Included in the housing plans are various low-rise residences and high-rise towers ranging from luxury to affordable. Some are available for purchase (Keauhou Place, The Collection), while certain projects will be rentals only (Keauhou Lane, Six Eighty).

Midtown Ala Moana
Is loosely defined from S. King St to Ala Moana Beach Park (from North to South), and from Pensacola St. on the Western border and Kalakaua Ave on the Eastern border. Midtown Ala Moana is the neighborhood that bridges Waikiki and Moilili to Kakaako. If you are just now learning the name "Midtown Ala Moana", you are not alone. With the recent surge in developments, the area needed a new name that was more conducive with what the distinct, new neighborhood has to offer; thus "Midtown Ala Moana" was born.
