Mahana at Ward Village: The Final Residential Tower in Kaka‘ako's Most Celebrated Neighborhood

Ward Village has been named the best master-planned community in America by Architectural Digest, and after more than a decade of building it is approaching completion. Mahana — the name means warmth, or the rising sun — is planned as the twelfth and final residential tower in the neighborhood. If you have been waiting for the right moment to enter Ward Village at launch pricing, this is likely the last one.

• 451 market-rate homes, studio to 3 bedroom
• Approximately 400-foot tower beside Victoria Ward Park
• 8th-floor resort deck with pool, lap pool, plunge pools, and dog run
• Direct pedestrian connection planned to a future Skyline station

What Is Planned

Mahana will rise at 423 Ward Avenue on the mauka edge of Kaka‘ako, immediately beside ‘A‘ali‘i and steps from Victoria Ward Park. The amended plan filed by Howard Hughes calls for 451 market-rate homes — studios through three bedrooms — in a tower approximately 400 feet tall above roughly 13,600 square feet of ground-floor retail and dining. Every home is market-rate; there are no reserved housing units in this building.

The design team is Solomon Cordwell Buenz on architecture with interiors by Tihany Design. Floor-to-ceiling windows are oriented toward Victoria Ward Park, Kewalo Basin, Punchbowl, and Diamond Head.

The Amenity Program

The eighth-floor resort deck is planned with a swimming pool and separate lap pool, hot and cold plunge pools, a cabana lawn, and a dedicated dog run, within roughly 52,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor recreation space. At street level, an outdoor transit plaza on Ward Avenue, a pocket park on Queen Street, and more than 350 linear feet of retail and landscaped walking paths will activate the block. The building is designed with a direct pedestrian connection to a planned Skyline rail station just mauka.

Mahana is also one of the most bike-friendly buildings proposed for the neighborhood, with approximately 240 short-term and 208 long-term bicycle stalls alongside 674 vehicle parking stalls.

Why Register Now

Mahana is not yet selling. Pre-sales at Ward Village towers have historically opened to registered buyers first, and the most desirable plans and view corridors move quickly once a building launches. Registering your interest through your buyer's agent costs nothing and puts you in line for pricing, floor plans, and the sales timeline before the general public sees them.
