Modea, located in Downtown Honolulu, stands as Oahu's first adaptive reuse fee simple condo. In simpler terms, they're repurposing an existing office building into sleek new residential condos.
This distinguished property, formerly known as the Pacific Davies Tower, was built in 1972 by architects Francis Donaldson, Au, Cutting, and Smith. Upon completion, it will offer 352 residential units, ranging from studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom units. There will also be one 3-bedroom unit. Imagine lofty 10'4" high ceilings, elegant Italian-designed cabinetry, upscale SPC luxury vinyl flooring, and parking for every single unit.
Modea's condos are from floors 6 through 19, as well as the 21st floor; the 20th and 22nd floor is currently leased long-term. Additionally, there are plans to introduce ground-floor retail spaces, enriching the community with restaurants and eateries. Modea will be a pet-friendly building with no weight limit restrictions. The building will also allow 30-day rentals. Sales to owner-occupants are slated to start in 2024, with anticipated project completion some time in 2025.
