Hokua is a luxury condominium situated directly in front of the ocean on Ala Moana Blvd. It is also situated next to Nauru Tower and is across the street from the Ward Village Showroom (the old IBM building). The 39-story building was built in 2006 and is comprised of 253 residential units. The building was developed by The Kobayashi Group. The building consists of 2 and 3 bedroom floor plans as well as Penthouse units. The typical floor plate has 7 units per floor and this floor plate goes up to the 35th floor. From floors 36 and up, the floor plate changes as some units combine. Then the very top floor Penthouses change yet again as there are only 3 two-story Penthouses that have very large lanais on the roof top. The unit break down by interior living area is:
The building's location is very conveniently located as it is in between Ward Village and Ala Moana Shopping Center. Some notable features is that the building has 24/7 security, one of the best on site condo concierge, and it is pet friendly which allows 2 pets up to 35 lbs. The only drawback is that there are 1-bedroom units and the lanais/balconies are on the smaller size (unless you are on the very top floor). Overall, Hokua is a great luxury condominium that far exceeded the expectations of most realtors back in the early 2000s and to this day, it is still known as one of the best condos Honolulu.
