The post Tour this $4.6m Kakaako condo appeared first on Kakaako.

This is a 4-story unit complete with your own private garage and den. A large open kitchen looking out over your dining and living room. Three-bedrooms two and a half baths and your very own roof top deck. The rooftop deck in my opinion is what makes these townhouses so attractive, imagine roof top BBQs year around, it’s the perfect setting to entertain. 

One of the biggest concerns about living on the ground level in an urban setting is security. With this townhouse comes a relatively small $631 a month maintenance fee which includes 24 hour security around the entire project to help put your mind at ease. Located on the opposite side of the block are some really great restaurant concepts new to Kakaako. 1938 Indochine will feature southeast asian cuisine and right next door at Qing Mu will be a traditional asian noodle shop featuring local organic ingredients and hormone free meats. Blue Tree Cafe will also have it’s second Kakaako location on the block with Hawaii’s first Drybar also located here. 

If you’re thinking about making the move to Kakaako and need space for a growing family, these townhouses are a great option and should be on the top of your list. For a free tour please contact me at Holden@Kakaako.com.  Take a look at this cool video tour below.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, just wait…there’s more. Aoki describes each of the restaurant concepts as follows:

The first restaurant, 1938 Indochine, will feature the flavors of Southeast Asia. The menu will delight the palate with tastes of Vietnamese, Thai and Indonesian cuisine. The restaurant will explore the flavors, ingredients, and cooking techniques of the region. 

Co-located with 1938 Indochine will be Qing Mu. The quick-service restaurant will offer menu items prepared to the exacting standards of a traditional Chinese noodle shop. All entrees will be made using organic ingredients and hormone-free meats. For more information, go to www.qingmunoodle.com.

1938 Indochine and Qing Mu will be located at the corner of Ala Moana Boulevard and Keawe Street.

The third restaurant is the Bluetree Cafe, a restaurant that meets the needs of the health-conscious consumer. The Café offers unique items that are good to eat or drink and good for your health. Bluetree Café will be located along Keawe Street and is the second Café location in Honolulu. More information can be found at www.bluetreejuice.com.

From shops to restaurants to entertainment, each new addition to Kakaako brings new life into the neighborhood and makes the area an even more desirable place to live. The Collection is located across the street from SALT where you can find other popular eateries like Arvo, Lanikai Juice, and Highway Inn. We can’t wait to see what will pop up next!

Also, enter to win one of two $50 gift cards to Nalu health Bar by following @naluhealthbar on instagram. When you come into the Kakaako location from 10/23/17 to 10/29/17, snap a photo of your purchase whether it be a tasty sandwich, healthy smoothie, or delectable Acai bowls, post it on instagram and tag @naluhealthbar and #KakaakoLovesAcai, winners will be announced on 10/30/17.

It’s no secret that food trends come and go, from cupcakes to cronuts and beyond people love trying the latest and greatest treats. Acai has been one of those amazing treats that has gone from trend to a local staple here in the islands. That delicious Brazilian berry often mixed with fruits, granola, and honey keeps people coming back bowl after bowl. Nalu, in Kailua, is by far one of my favorite places for Acai but unfortunately for my self, being a towny, it’s so far. So you can imagine my delight when I heard that Nalu is not just moving to town, but coming into my neighborhood of Kakaako.

Nalu offers more than just Acai bowls, with salads, sandwiches, and smoothies also on the menu. The common theme is super healthy and amazingly delicious food that will keep you coming back for more.

The four friends that started Nalu all hail from Brazil and wanted to show the locals of Hawaii how Acai is served in their home country. Speaking to Chris, one of the owners of Nalu she says, “We import our Acai from Brazil. It’s organic, pure, and considered grade-A. We mix our Acai with Guarana Berry Syrup, also imported from Brazil, and bananas, making it the authentic Brazilian recipe. If you ever go to Brazil it will taste just like ours! Here in Hawaii people make Acai bowls differently, they add a lot of frozen mixed berries, apple juice or soymilk, therefore the Acai content is relatively small. In our blend there’s a very large amount of Acai, you can see on the deep dark purple color (which is the real Acai color), so it’s very healthy and loaded with antioxidant!”

The four entrepreneur owners love the thought of being in Kakaako. Close to their favorite super spots and in the heart of such an amazing community. Try Nalu next time you’re in the Ward Village area. It’s inside South Shore Market, underneath TJ Maxx. Take a look at their awesome below!

The Ward Village master-planned community was recognized for its forward-thinking architecture, use of local materials — with a nod to Hawaiian culture — and seemingly endless amenities all within walking distance from its towers. 

When it comes to master-planned communities, The Howard Hughes Corporation is as seasoned as they come. The corporation has overseen the development or expansion of some of the country’s most sought-after communities since the 1950’s including Summerlin, Nevada, The Woodlands, Texas and Columbia, Maryland. With so much experience planning and building master-planned communities, can you imagine what they could do with 60 acres of oceanfront property in the heart of urban Honolulu?

The answer? Six residential towers including Waiea (completed, for sale), Anaha (under construction, for sale), Ae’o (under construction, for sale), Gateway Towers (for sale), Ke Kilohana (under construction) and A’ali’i (sales to launch soon). With these towers already announced and more in the works, Ward Village is positioned to become a true live-work-play destination with something for everyone. 

If you’re interested in learning more about Ward Village and finding out which condominium would be right for you, please leave your contact information below and someone from our team will reach out to you as soon as possible.

Named after the Hawaiian word for island, “Moku” promises an authentic taste of Hawaii and sources ingredients from local farmers as far as upcountry and all the way down to the ocean shores. Sure to become a Kakaako staple, the restaurant features a keawe wood burning pizza oven, an expo rotisserie roaster, a variety of sustainable wines and 36 craft beers on tap. Fun fact: it’s also home to one of the first keg wine systems in the state of Hawaii!

One glance at the menu and you’ll be hard pressed to find something you don’t want to try. My personal favorites are the waipoli farm mixed greens, the szechuan stir-fry green beans with mac nuts, the bulgogi tacos, and the hamakua wild mushroom pizza. For dessert, the banana cream pie will be the perfect ending to memorable meal.

Moku Kitchen is open daily 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and happy hour is served daily from 3 to 5:30 p.m. For more information and to view the full menu, visit www.mokukitchen.com.

Built adjacent to Ala Moana Center the project is foot steps away from world-class shopping. On the front side of the property you will look out over Ala Moana Beach Park, which spans over 100 acres and some of Oahu’s best surf spots.

The Sky Residences feature both Makai (ocean) and Mauka (mountain) views and feel more like single-family homes than they do a condominium. The Sky Residences offer a chef’s kitchen and lounge with plenty of natural light. The “U-shaped” design surrounds the oversized, covered lanai, featuring a built-in Wolf grill perfect for family gatherings.

Did I mention the amenities at Park Lane are out of this world? Beyond the usual pool, spa, and fitness studios that come with every other project, Park Lane offers guest suites, grocery delivery, wine storage, valet, concierge, and residence care for those that live overseas most of the year.

Everything you need in life can be found at Park Lane. Please contact me if you are interested in pricing, floor plans, or general information. Thank you, Holden@Kakaako.com.

Waiea, Howard Hughes’ first residential tower in Ward Village, welcomes the first residents to the masterplanned neighborhood. The building is roughly 90% sold with various units in the building still available. Waiea will set a new standard of luxury in Kakaako previously held by Hokua at 1288 Ala Moana blvd. Anaha located cookie corner to Waiea is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2017.

The Collection Honolulu will bring life to “Our Kakaako” and the businesses within SALT, located across the street from the new tower, will surely benefit. The Collection get it’s name from the various styles of living that it offers. You have the main tower where a majority of the units and residents reside. There are 14 Townhouses that bring a new type of urban living to the neighborhood with entrances right at street level and then there are low-rise loft studios that don’t have access to all of the amenities of the tower, but share a smaller amenity package.

Slowly but surely Kakaako is shaping into the neighborhood we will all come to love. If you’re interested in learning more about how you can call Kakaako home, please feel free to reach out to me directly at Holden@Kakaako.com. Thank you!
