Larger end units ending in "01" and "08" are roomy and have more of a home feel, but tend to have partially obstructed views unless you are at or near the lanai. The '08' units face Diamondhead and neighboring 1350 Ala Moana, which is 33 stories tall. The "01" units face the sunset, but are partially obstructed but the newly built Hokua, which is 400 ft tall.
