The Honolulu City Council has approved a $700 mil, 36-story mixed-use tower across from the Convention Center to be developed by Los Angeles-based Salem Partners. The project, called Mana`olana Place, is the first approved project in the city’s newly adopted Ala Moana transit-oriented district and is expected to be a catalyst for further investment in the area.
Located at the intersection of Kapiolani Blvd and Atkinson Dr, the 505k sf tower will house a 125-room ultra-luxury hotel, 109 branded condominiums, approximately 12.5k sf of retail and dining, a large public plaza and gardens. Construction is expected to start in 2017 with completion in 2020.
At the ground level, Mana`olana Place will create a pedestrian-friendly environment with activated street frontages leading to the public plaza at the corner of Kapiolani Blvd and Atkinson Dr. The project is expected to become a Honolulu destination with a signature restaurant and bar 400 feet above street level, inviting gardens, shops and dining at street level, an unmatched location across from the Convention Center and only a short walk to a planned light rail transit station and Ala Moana Center, the world’s largest open-air shopping center.
The design team for Mana`olana Place is led by Randy Shortridge, AIA, of award-winning architects and urbanists, [au] Workshop. Landscape design is spearheaded by Hart Howerton and interior design is conceptualized by Dianna Wong.
Mana`olana Place will deliver the largest community benefits package, including a substantial affordable housing component, ever offered by a developer in Honolulu. The project is expected to generate over $100 mil in net new tax and fee revenue for the City and County of Honolulu and the State of Hawaii over the next ten years.
