HONOLULU--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 9, 2011-- Waihonua at Kewalo, A&B’s newest high rise residential condominium project, will begin sales tomorrow, Saturday, December 10, 2011, at its sales gallery located at 1311 Kapi‘olani Boulevard, Suite 104 (on the corner of Kapi‘olani Boulevard and Pi‘ikoi Street). The gallery will be open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., staffed by the project’s exclusive broker, Heyer & Associates, to assist all interested buyers. The owner occupant notice was published in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser today. For more information: www.waihonua.com. Waihonua at Kewalo is being developed by Kewalo Development LLC, a subsidiary of A&B Properties, Inc.
Waihonua at Kewalo is situated on Waimanu Street between Ala Moana Shopping Center and the Ward Centers. The 43-story residential tower will consist of 345 one to three bedroom residences, and will offer seven penthouse residences on the top floor. Fee-simple prices will begin at $400,000 for one bedroom/one bath, $565,000 for two bedroom/two bath, and $720,000 for three-bedroom/two bath residences.
The design of the tower allows for views of the ocean, mountains and the city. Kewalo Development worked with Hawaii-based architect Design Partners, Inc., and its architectural consultant, Pappageorge Haymes of Chicago. Designed with energy-efficiency in mind, the building will include LED lighting, insulated low-e window and lanai door panels, and efficient hot water heating and cooling components. Amenities at Waihonua at Kewalo will include a fitness center, recreation deck including pool, spa and cabanas with barbeques, and a private movie theatre. Both the architects and interior designer Philpotts & Associates developed forms, textures and colors that were inspired by the name “Waihonua” which means “waters of the earth.”
Waihonua will be the final high-rise condominium in Honolulu’s premiere residential high-rise neighborhood block, which includes Hokua, Ko‘olani, Nauru Tower, Hawa‘iki, and 1350 Ala Moana. The proximity to shopping, dining, recreation, transportation, and a complete array of services makes Waihonua an excellent choice for urban living.
