Thank you MayDay for posting those photos. I've moved from Hawaii a few months ago and I've been starving for updated reports or photos of new high-rises in Honolulu.

FYI for all those concerned the top photo is the recently completed "Anaha" luxury condo by the Howard Hughes Corporation and part of the award winning planned community of Ward Village ("Architectural Record", "The National Association of Home Builders") in the hot (building wise not climate) Kaka'ako district of the city of Honolulu.

The second photo from the top is also "Anaha" from another angle, but here in her background is the next tower being built by the Hughes Corp. called "Aeo" which is just a handful of floors from toping out.

The bottom photo is the rising tower named the "Kapiolani Residence", which is being built by SamKoo Pacific, a South Korean company. It is in the moderately price range and sold out very fast. SamKoo plans a simular high-rise just down the street and it will sell out fast too. Both theses towers are located the the Ala Moana area, a sub-district of Kaka'ako on it's westside bordering Waikiki. Ala Moana is named after the world's largest outdoor mall and America's most valueable mall ("Business Insider" website 1/30/2018), Ala Moana Center. This area is also a hot developing neighborhood with other high-rise proposals waiting for approval. The reason for this rise in construction, in the Ala Moana area, are the fairly recent and huge building zone variances awards if the delvelopers can prove that their buildings will suport ridership in nearby rail stations (simply stated). The new heavy rail project, now under construction, will end at Ala Moana Center.
