THE CENTRAL ALA MOANA

SamKoo Pacific, the developer of the 484 unit Kapiolani Residence is planning to break ground on their 2nd tower, The Central Ala Moana at the start of 2019. This condominium will be located behind Ala Moana Shopping Center and feature 512 units, which is slightly larger than Kapiolani Residence. There was a high demand for Kapiolani Residence and I expect there to be a similar demand for the Central Ala Moana.

SamKoo is planning to begin sales for the 512 units in The Central Ala Moana, which will be made up of 60 percent affordable units (310 units) and 40 percent market price units (202 units), similar to Kapiolani Residence, by the end of this year per Timothy Yi, president of Samkoo Pacific and SamKoo Hawaii as reported by Pacific Business News.

The Central Ala Moana, which will be located on the makai side of Kapiolani Boulevard at Kona Iki Street (Taste Tea Lot). It will be 400ft high, feature 43 stories and larger units than SamKoo’s 1st project. Kapiolani Residence featured 45 stories so The Central Ala Moana is expected to have slightly higher ceiling heights, along with slightly higher prices and better finishes.
