Ward Village

Ward Village is a 60-acre, master-planned community in the heart of Honolulu in the Kaka'ako district. It is being developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation. Once completed, this beachfront development will become a vibrant community offering luxury residences, retail stores, entertainment venues, pedestrian friendly streets and plenty of public open space.[1]

The Development Process

Over the course of the next decade, The Howard Hughes Corporation plans to add more than one million square feet of retail shops and 4,000 high-rise residential opportunities. To ensure the development of Ward Village honors the distinct history of Honolulu and Hawaii, The Howard Hughes Corporation engages in thorough and ongoing consultation with the O'ahu Island Burial Counsel, the State Historic Preservation Division, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, the Ala Moana/Kaka'ako Neighborhood Board, the Hawaii Community Development Authority, the City and County of Honolulu, tenants, neighbors and recognized cultural descendants.[2]

Phase One of the project features the development of two residential condominium towers—Waiea and Anaha—as well as a new master plan information center and residential sales gallery in the IBM building.[3]

Waiea will feature 171 residences, including 10 villas and 10 penthouses. The tower is designed by award-winning architect James K.M. Cheng and Hawaii-based Rob Iopa of WCIT Architecture. The interiors of Waiea are created by interior designer, Tony Ingrao and the landscaping is designed by SWA Group.[4]

Anaha

The Anaha tower will include 311 residences, including 73 flats and townhomes. Anaha is collaboratively designed by award-winning architecture and design firms Solomon Cordwell Buenz and Ben Woo Architects. The interiors are designed by designer Woods Bagot and the exterior spaces are created by landscape designer Surface Design of San Francisco.[5]
