About Ward Village®
Developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation®, Ward Village® is a 60-acre master-planned community in the heart of Honolulu, located between downtown and Waikīkī, along O‘ahu’s picturesque south shore. Honoring the distinct history of its land, Ward Village is at the forefront of sustainable community development - integrating striking architecture, local culture, and public open space. At full build-out, the community will include approximately one million square feet of unique retail and thousands of homes, in what Architectural Digest named “Best-Planned Community in the United States.”
As a result of strong demand for new housing in urban Honolulu, Ward Village is quickly approaching sellout of its first four mixed-use residential towers — Waiea®, Anaha®, Ae‘o®, and Ke Kilohana® — transforming the popular shopping and dining district into a vibrant neighborhood that offers ocean views and open space, including its newest outdoor gathering place, Victoria Ward Park. New residential buildings in development or under construction include A‘ali‘i, Kō‘ula, and Victoria Place. Since launching public sales in January 2020, Victoria Place has become the fastest-selling market tower in the history of Ward Village.
Ward Village is the first-ever LEED‐ND Platinum-certified master-planned community in the country, and the only in Hawai‘i. At the forefront of sustainable development, it features public amenities at a scale not offered by any other urban community in the state. For more information, visit www.wardvillage.com.
