Building Analysis - Hawaiki Tower: ~ by Paul Ford Hawaiki Tower is Nauru Phosphate Royalties’ 2nd local development, completed about nine years after their original Honolulu luxury building, Nauru Tower. This development also boasts stunning views, modern architecture, luxury residences and a prime location right across from Ala Moana Shopping center’s newest wing featuring Bloomingdales.
The Hawaiki Tower sits above two stories of commercial space occupied primarily by KHON 2 News along Piikoi Street. The residential entry is on quieter Kona Street.
Common Areas for Residents The residential entrance ramp takes you to the 3rd floor lobby with guest parking. The lobby features an open three story atrium with leaning glass walls, comfortable seating and artwork. Nearby are lush mature gardens with walking paths. Above the parking structure are a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, spa, barbeque areas, tennis, playground, and putting greens. On the 35th floor is a Winter Garden, a large semi-enclosed lanai facing West.

Private Condo Features
Units on the higher floors on the east side have Diamond Head, Ala Wai Boat Harbor, Magic Island and ocean views. The “wedge” at the top of the east side is a glass protrusion which makes the 05-07 units incrementally larger with sloped exterior walls. Most units in the building have some ocean views except west facing units 10 and 11 which are crowded by neighboring towers.
Kitchens and baths are good sized and feature Sub-Zero and Gaggenau appliances, marble and granite countertops, and tiled floors.
The Bottom LineBest features: Low maintenance fees. Prime location couldn’t be better, especially with the expansion of Ala Moana Center.
Potential drawbacks: The west side is getting crowded with neighboring towers. Large columns inside rooms can make for difficult space planning.
