New Kakaako high rise development welcomed by neighbors. View the video about it on KHON 2.

Eight years ago, Alexander & Baldwin (A&B) was the first developer in Hawaii to get started on a high-rise condominium project just in time to take advantage of an upswing in the residential real estate market. Hokua at 1288 Ala Moana Blvd. quickly sold out and was the first of nearly a dozen condo towers to sprout up around Honolulu during the last economic boom.

A&B announced plans to develop another condo tower in Kakaako, just as the local economy is starting to recover from a recession and prolonged downturn. Waihonua at Kewalo is a 43-story tower planned for a 1.73-acre lot located between Hawaiki Tower and Koolani. The building will have 345 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments that will be priced starting at $400,000, $565,000 and $720,000. There will be seven penthouse units as well. The architects are Design Partners Inc. of Honolulu and Pappageorge Haymes of Chicago, with interior design by Honolulu-based Philpotts & Associates.

The building is referred to as an “upscale” project because of the finishes in the apartments, but not as upscale as Hokua, whose apartments are more spacious and have better, unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. A&B believes the project will appeal to a broad market, from first-time buyers to people looking to downsize from single-family homes. The project also includes a 73-unit affordable rental for seniors that will be located about a block away and is being developed by the Pacific Housing Assistance Corp. The sales office will open to start pre-sales in a few weeks and construction is projected to start by the end of 2012.
