Located in the heart of Kakaʻako, just steps from Ala Moana Beach Park and the world-class shopping at Ala Moana Center, Hawaiki Tower offers a rare combination of resort-style living and urban convenience. With its iconic architecture, spacious floor plans, and full suite of amenities, this 46-story luxury high-rise defines island elegance. I’m Jon S. Mann with Hawaii Life, and I’m here to introduce you to this premier coastal residence.

The History and Development of Hawaiki Tower

#HawaikiTowerHistory #DevelopmentUpdate

Completed in 1999 and rising 46 stories (400 ft), Hawaiki Tower was one of the first high-end condo towers in the Ala Moana–Kakaʻako corridor. Designed by Barry Patten of Australia alongside GYA Architects and built by Hawaiian Dredging, the tower’s construction featured Hawaii’s largest residential concrete pour to date. Its name—“Hawaiki”—evokes ancestral Polynesian roots, symbolizing comfort, security, and heritage.

What Makes Hawaiki Tower Special

The tower stands out with its three-story glass atrium lobby, beautifully landscaped grounds across 3.34 acres, and a well-designed residential entry via Waimanu Street. With 417 units spanning one- to three-bedroom floor plans, it offers spacious living rarely found in urban high-rises.

Convenience at Your Doorstep

One of the most compelling aspects of life at Hawaiki Tower is the ease with which you can transition from relaxing at home to exploring vibrant Honolulu. Imagine starting your morning with sunrise yoga at Ala Moana Beach Park, grabbing a coffee from nearby local favorites like ARVO or Morning Glass Coffee, and ending the day with a leisurely stroll through Kakaʻako’s vibrant street murals or attending a sunset concert at Blaisdell Arena.

Community and Connection

Residents frequently remark that the tower’s position at the crossroads of Ala Moana and Kakaʻako provides a unique urban-meets-island lifestyle unmatched in other parts of Honolulu. Unlike more crowded areas like Waikiki, Hawaiki Tower offers spacious living quarters and a sense of openness combined with convenience and proximity to top-tier dining and entertainment.

Inside the building, the strong sense of community sets Hawaiki apart. With dedicated social spaces such as the lushly landscaped pool area, BBQ stations, and the unique 36th-floor Winter Garden lounge, residents easily form lasting friendships, hosting gatherings and special events throughout the year. Whether you’re new to the island or have long called Oahu home, the building fosters connections and shared experiences that enhance daily life.
