Ae'o at Ward Village

Ae'o is Howard Hughes' third tower in Ward Village Kakaako - a 60-acre master planned community located in the urban core of Honolulu. The building was designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson (BCJ). The tower was completed in 2018 and initially had pre-sales back in 2016. In an effort to integrate the deep seated stories, culture, and forces that gave life to this special land, BCJ worked with Hawaiian culture experts and historians to design a building that ties into our island history. Ae'o in Hawaiian means Hawaiian Stilt Bird and this building pays honor to the wind. The parking structure facade above Whole Foods symbolize the prevailing trade winds that frequent the islands and gave the Ae'o flight. The building also has these jut-out notches that angle outwards and is what they call the "wings." This is done so that units in the middle of the building will have a jut-out area that would allow for a view of the ocean (a view they normally wouldn't have since Ae'o has no lanais and either faces east/Diamond Head or west/ewa). The ground floor retail is the flagship Whole Foods Market and is the largest store on the island. On the ground floor there is also a Japanese Restaurant Rinka which just moved from the Ala Moana/Holiday Mart Area. There will also be a medical clinic downstairs opening later in 2019.

Early modern color schemes (glossy enameled red, yellow, and blue) were picked only by pre-sale individuals early on during sales. Eventually they stopped taking custom orders and either put a light or dark color scheme shown below.
