Where Urban Sophistication Meets Island Serenity

Nestled in the heart of Honolulu’s most vibrant master-planned community, Kō‘ula is a standout luxury residence at 1000 Auahi Street, in the iconic Ward Village neighborhood of Kakaʻako. Developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation and designed by world-renowned architecture firm Studio Gang, with interiors by Yabu Pushelberg, Kō‘ula perfectly blends modern elegance with island warmth.

For real-estate buyers, investors, or those seeking a refined island lifestyle, Kō‘ula offers an extraordinary opportunity to experience the best of Honolulu’s urban coastal living — and RE/MAX Honolulu is proud to showcase this premier address.

1. Prime Location in Ward Village

Kō‘ula is part of Ward Village — a 60-acre master-planned community that has transformed Kakaʻako into Honolulu’s most desirable urban neighborhood. The building overlooks Victoria Ward Park, providing residents with a lush green retreat right outside their door.

Within walking distance are Ala Moana Beach Park, Whole Foods Market, world-class dining, boutique shopping, entertainment, and oceanfront walking paths. This unbeatable location combines convenience, connectivity, and the essence of the island-urban lifestyle.

2. Architecture & Design That Inspire

The name “Kō‘ula” translates to red sugar cane, paying tribute to the area’s agricultural past. The building’s striking exterior was inspired by the natural twisting form of sugar-cane stalks, creating a unique architectural statement in the Honolulu skyline.

Each residence benefits from column-free interiors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and private lanais that maximize views and natural light. Inside, warm natural materials and soft neutral tones create a serene environment that embodies contemporary Hawaiian design.

3. Residences: From Studios to Penthouses

Kō‘ula features approximately 565 luxury residences ranging from cozy studios to expansive three-bedroom homes.

• Studios: Around 300 sq ft – perfect for pied-à-terre or investment living

• 1-Bedroom Residences: Up to 750 sq ft – ideal for professionals or couples

• 2-Bedroom Residences: 770–1,130 sq ft – great balance of space and views

• 3-Bedroom Residences: 1,400+ sq ft – luxury family homes in the sky

All units include at least one parking stall (two for most 2- and 3-bedroom layouts), private lanais, and premium finishes throughout.

4. Resort-Style Amenities

Kō‘ula residents enjoy access to over one acre of private indoor-outdoor amenities designed for relaxation, health, and entertainment.

Highlights include:

• 25-meter lap pool with resort-style cabanas

• Two oversized spas

• Sunset bar and outdoor dining lounges

• BBQ pavilions and event spaces

With so many features, Kō‘ula offers the perfect balance between urban excitement and resort tranquility.

5. Sustainable & Smart Living

Ward Village is the only LEED-ND Platinum Certified neighborhood in Hawaiʻi, emphasizing walkability, green spaces, and energy efficiency. Kō‘ula was designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating natural ventilation, sun shading, and efficient building systems to support an eco-conscious lifestyle.

For buyers who value both luxury and responsibility, Kō‘ula is the definition of thoughtful modern living.

6. Market Insight & Investment Appeal

Kō‘ula represents one of Honolulu’s most compelling real-estate opportunities. With strong market performance and limited new inventory in Ward Village, demand for resale units remains high.

Studios and one-bedroom condos are popular among investors for long-term rental or pied-à-terre use, while larger two- and three-bedroom homes attract full-time residents and luxury buyers seeking resort-level amenities in an urban setting.

As Kakaʻako continues to grow, Ward Village properties like Kō‘ula are expected to remain among the most valuable and sought-after investments on Oʻahu.
