WARD VILLAGE® UNVEILS PROPOSED PLANS FOR NEW RESIDENCES, PARK, SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS
Two future residences advance evolution of master planned community
HONOLULU – Ward Village®, the award-winning 60-acre master planned community in the heart of Honolulu, recently submitted planned development permit applications to the Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA) for two new residences. Located on the Diamond Head side of Ward Village, the future residences will deliver new homes, a community park, improved accessibility and walkability, public art and native landscaping.
“We are looking forward to further connecting the neighborhood by creating experiences for Honolulu and Ward Village residents to enjoy, with new restaurants, shops, and open spaces that expand community engagement in the public realm,” said Doug Johnstone, President, Hawai‘i, Howard Hughes.
Located on the corner of Ala Moana Boulevard and Kamake‘e Street, the first residential development will create a one-acre community park featuring a pavilion, park-side restaurant seating, natural play elements with native planting and wayfinding signage. It includes 242 one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom homes. Its significant economic impact includes an estimated $225 million in workers’ earnings, an average of 450 annual jobs during construction, and $40 million in state tax revenue.
The second residence also integrates ground-level retail with 148 two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes. It will additionally contribute to the economy with an estimated $170 million in workers’ earnings and $31 million in state tax revenue while creating 350 jobs annually during construction.
Both plans will deliver enhanced public benefits and community amenities, including a combined 20,000 square feet of commercial ground-floor retail. These shops and restaurants incorporate a pedestrian arcade and outdoor seating along Auahi Street, expanded walking paths along Ala Moana Boulevard, public art, native landscaping, and cultural wayfinding signage. The design team includes Robert A.M. Stern Architects in coordination with AHL, interior designer Champalimaud Design and VITA Planning & Landscape Architecture. Looking back to go forward, they are inspired by the timeless architecture of Honolulu's past, embracing its regional heritage while infusing contemporary placemaking.

About Ward Village®
Ward Village is a 60-acre master planned community by The Howard Hughes Corporation® in the heart of Honolulu, located between downtown and Waikīkī. Honoring the distinct history of its land, Ward Village is at the forefront of sustainable community development—integrating striking architecture, culture and arts, and public open space. At full buildout, the community will include thousands of homes and approximately one million square feet of unique retail 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 six mixed-use residential towers—Waiea®, Anaha®, Ae‘o®, Ke Kilohana®, ʻAʻaliʻi® and Kō‘ula® transforming the popular shopping and dining district into a thriving urban 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 Victoria Place® and Kalae®. Since launching public sales in July 2021, The Park Ward Village has become the fastest-selling market tower in the history of Ward Village. Approved by the Hawaiʻi Community Development Authority (HCDA) in 2021, The Park Ward Village and Ulana Ward Village will be the newest mixed-use developments to join the neighborhood.
As a LEED-ND Platinum-certified master planned community, Ward Village demonstrates its commitment to responsible, mixed-use development by investing in public benefits and amenities for Honolulu’s urban community. For more information, visit http://www.wardvillage.com/.
