The highly anticipated Aalii condos are currently under construction in Honolulu, featuring over 750 units and many sought-after amenities, including a roof-top deck, spaces for entertaining, and indoor and outdoor fitness centers. The name Aalii comes from a small bushy tree that is native to Hawaii, Africa, and Australia. It has sticky leaves and dark wood. The building is currently being built in the popular Ward Village in Kakaako, which is considered one of the best-planned communities in the US by Architectural Digest. The building is focused on smart living. With less interior square footage, living life outside your home, and creative furniture, the building encourages owners to enjoy the amenities the building offers, the beaches, yoga, nearby events, restaurants, and shopping.
Residences
Designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz, who is based in San Francisco, and the designer of luxury Anaha together with Honolulu-based Ferraro Choi & Associates, the Aalii will be a wonderful addition to the area. The 92,000 square foot lot will include 15,000 square feet of retail space on the main level. There are micro suites that are around 300 square feet of space up to 900 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
