New Kakaako Condo coming soon! The Launiu Ward Village- An exciting new front-row project!
If you missed out on Victoria Place, Kalae and Alia- this will be one of the last opportunities in Ward Village to purchase in the invaluable front row position.
Launiu will be located at the corner of Ala Moana Blvd. and Ward Avenue where the weekend Ward Village Farmers Market is located.
The information is still very early being that it was just discussed at the Ala Moana-Kakaako neighborhood meeting.
What we do know:
- 486 total residences
- 90 podium homes surrounding the parking structure
- Studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, and 3 bedrooms
- Approximately 20,000 sqft of commercial space
- Approximately 16,000 sqft of new open green space and landscaping
The podium units will span along Ward Avenue on the mountain to ocean side of the building. They will be below the seventh floor amenity deck and offer value ocean and Diamond Head views in the building.
The remaining one bedroom and studio floorplans in the tower will be on the Ewa (west) side of the building facing he neighboring development Alia being developed by a well known local developer Kobayashi Group.
I feel it could present a much more affordable option compared to Victoria Place and Kalae, while being in a central location between Ward Village and Salt Kakaako neighborhoods.
The Neighborhood
With the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) pushing for their opportunity to develop Kakaako Makai or what they are calling Hakuone- its important to keep in mind that there could be additional development on the oceanside of Ala Moana Blvd. with a potential of a changing view plane.
Launiu will be in the middle of each access points of Ward Village and Salt Kakaako and potentially additional development at Hakuone.
