Sachi Hawaii recently attended a private tour of the Kaliu residence showroom, where our sales team learned about the upcoming condominium project. Located at 677 Ala Moana Blvd #598, the Kaliu showroom features model kitchens, a showcase of the building’s interior design, and information about the 39-story tower.

The upcoming project offers a variety of floor plans, including one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences. The flagship ’01’ three-bedroom units fronts Ala Moana Boulevard and offer panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Diamond Head.

Kaliu Amenities

Kaliu’s amenities are designed for health and wellness, featuring a swimming pool, hot tub, and a fitness center. The property also includes a pickleball court, a dog park, a movie theater, hot and cold plunges, and a spa. Outdoor spaces consist of lawn areas, barbecue cabanas, and quick-grill stations. Residents will also benefit from a high level of service and security, with 24-hour security for building entry, elevators, and parking, plus a dedicated residential specialist available around the clock.

Interior Design Language

Inside, the residences will have an open-concept design with nine-foot ceilings and expansive, floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with natural light. The interiors embrace a modern, warm aesthetic with custom-designed wood cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, and engineered wood flooring. Premium appliances include Miele for culinary needs, Toto fixtures, Mitsubishi air conditioning, and energy-efficient washers and dryers.

Kaliu is ideally located near SALT at Our Kakaako, situated at the corner of Cooke Street and Ala Moana Boulevard. This growing neighborhood offers convenient access to shops, restaurants, and entertainment. Daily shopping needs are easily met with H-Mart and Down to Earth just a block away.

According to the latest resale figures from the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®, O‘ahu’s housing market experienced a period of adjustment in July, with subtle shifts in sales and prices alongside notable increases in buyer activity. While year-over-year single-family home sales and prices saw modest declines, rising pending sales suggest a resilient market with growing buyer confidence.

Single-family home sales dipped 7.4% from a year ago to 249 transactions, and the median sales price softened by 5.7% to $1,075,000. The condominium market held steady in terms of sales volume, with 389 units sold, but the median price decreased 3.7% to $490,000.

Despite these figures, there are clear signs of an active and engaged market. Pending sales—a key indicator of future activity—climbed significantly in both sectors. Single-family home contracts rose 9.8%, while condo contracts increased by an even stronger 13.2% year-over-year.

This extended timeline is reflected in the median days on market, which increased to 20 days for single-family homes and 50 days for condos. This gives buyers more time to assess their options, a factor supported by the sustained increase in active listings—up 18.0% for single-family homes and 31.7% for condos compared to a year ago.

Spotlight on Key Neighborhoods and Price Points

The single-family home market’s most active segment was the $800,000 to $999,999 price range, which saw a 20.0% surge in sales and represented nearly a third of all transactions. Regionally, Hawai‘i Kai homes moved the fastest, with a median of just 8 days on market.

In the condominium sector, the $300,000 to $499,999 price range dominated, accounting for over one-third of all sales. Sales in ‘Ewa Plain, Pearl City, and Waipahu surged, with Waipahu seeing a remarkable 90.9% increase in sales activity. In contrast, the Metro region experienced a 16.2% decline in condo sales.

The report highlights a market in transition, where strategic buyers are capitalizing on increased inventory and more time to make informed decisions. For sellers, correct pricing and preparation remain crucial to attracting offers in this more competitive environment.

State officials have unanimously approved the contracts to begin the redevelopment of the Aloha Stadium site, five years after the venue’s closure. On Wednesday, the Aloha Stadium Authority gave the green light for the interim stadium manager to execute agreements with Aloha Halawa District Partners, a group that includes Stanford Carr Development and Hawaiian Dredging. This marks the formal start of the public-private project.

The state has committed $400 million to the project, with $350 million designated for construction and $50 million for project management. The developer will cover the remaining costs to build a 22,500-seat stadium, which is now projected to be completed in March 2029, a year later than originally planned.

Once finished, the new venue will serve as a multi-purpose entertainment space. Its most notable tenant will be the University of Hawaii football team, whose Rainbow Warriors have been playing at the temporary Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex at The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa since 2021.
