Anchored between the scenic Ala Wai Harbor and the bustling Ala Moana–Waikiki corridor, Yacht Harbor Towers (two adjacent 40-story towers built in 1973) at 1600-1650 Ala Moana Blvd., Honolulu, Hi 96815, offers elevated urban living with panoramic ocean, harbor, and city views.
Developed by Bruce Stark, this pair of fee-simple luxury condominiums comprises around 458 units, ranging from one- to three-bedroom layouts across two towers serviced by six elevators each.

Opportunities & Considerations
| Opportunities | Considerations |
|---|---|
| Large, versatile floor plans – From open 1-bed layouts to spacious 3-bed units—rare in newer buildings. | Maintenance fees are inclusive – Higher monthly dues cover utilities (AC, water, sewer, cable) but can affect budgets. |
| Resort-grade amenities & vibrant community – Tennis, pool, BBQs, and social events foster active living. | Age of building – While extensively renovated, original finishes may require updates over time. |
| Iconic views & waterfront access – Unobstructed Pacific, harbor, and Diamond Head panoramas. | No short-term rentals – STRs are prohibited, limiting investor flexibility. |
| Ideal location between harbor, beach, mall & Waikiki – Walkable, transit-rich, and full of lifestyle options. | Parking & guest stalls limited – Although garage parking is available, extra spots may require a waitlist. |
| All-inclusive monthly dues – Simplify living with utility coverage. | Homeowners may seek fitness outside – No dedicated gym space; resort’s deck and local gyms fill the gap. |

Why Yacht Harbor Towers Stands Out
Yacht Harbor Towers remains a standout in Honolulu for its timeless elegance, oversized residences, and unbeatable waterfront-to-urban location. With inclusive maintenance, resort-level amenities, and sweeping harbor and ocean views, it offers a lifestyle hard to match in newer developments. While buyers should consider dues, building age, and guest parking logistics, the unique combination of space, Convenience, and community make it a top pick for families, executives, and downsizers alike.
