Ālia Mixed-Use Luxury Tower Set for 2026 Completion in Honolulu

Alia at 888 Ala Moana

Construction is advancing on Ālia, a $400 million mixed-use luxury condominium project located at 888 Ala Moana Boulevard in Honolulu. Developed by the Kobayashi Group, the 400-foot, 39-story high-rise is situated within the Kaiāulu ‘o Kaka‘ako master-planned community, positioned between SALT at Our Kaka‘ako and Ward Village. The development is currently on track for a 2026 completion. The building is named after the Hawaiian word for “salt bed,” paying homage to the region’s historical salt flats while contributing to the ongoing modernization of Oahu’s southern shore.

The tower will introduce 477 residential units to the Honolulu housing market, comprising a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans. The property includes 437 market-rate condominiums, which currently start at approximately $1.5 million, alongside 40 reserve housing units situated in the building’s podium. The introduction of these properties addresses the sustained demand for housing and walkable urban convenience in the rapidly growing Kaka‘ako neighborhood. However, as the 2026 completion date approaches, available inventory is already highly limited, reflecting steady interest within the local real estate market.

Architecturally, Ālia is designed with a strong emphasis on sustainability and environmental efficiency. The building’s orientation and private lanais are strategically positioned to capture the cooling flow of natural trade winds, reducing reliance on air conditioning. Furthermore, the infrastructure incorporates solar panels, electric vehicle charging stations, and an on-site greywater recycling system designed to save millions of gallons of water in landscaping irrigation.

In addition to 3,500 square feet of ground-floor commercial space designed to enhance the pedestrian experience, the development features an extensive suite of residential amenities. These include two infinity pools, a fitness center, a bowling alley, a pickleball court, and dedicated co-working spaces.

Brookfield Properties Advances Plans for Ala Moana Rental Tower

Brookfield Properties is advancing plans to develop Ala Moana Plaza, a new mixed-use, all-rental high-rise located at the intersection of Piikoi and Kona Streets in Honolulu. Situated adjacent to the Ala Moana Center, the project requires an Interim Planned Development-Transit (IPD-T) permit and a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) plan amendment to allow for increased density and a maximum building height of 400 feet. The proposed 40-story tower is designed to introduce new residential housing options directly within the urban core, positioned approximately 180 feet from the planned Ala Moana rail transit station.

The development is slated to feature 583 residential units, offering a combination of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom floor plans. According to the proposal, the building will include 459 market-rate rentals and 124 affordable rental units. The affordable residences will be price-restricted to tenants earning 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for a period of 30 years. To support the project’s transit-oriented focus, the building will sit atop a five-story podium containing 220 vehicle parking stalls and designated bicycle parking, encouraging alternative transportation for its residents. The site design also incorporates ground-floor commercial space, pedestrian infrastructure upgrades, and a monetary contribution toward local street improvements.

The Ala Moana Plaza project addresses ongoing supply constraints within Honolulu’s highly competitive real estate market. With homeownership and condominium costs remaining prohibitively high for many local residents, increasing the inventory of long-term rental units in a central location provides critical workforce housing options closer to major employment hubs. Furthermore, the development is expected to stimulate the local economy by generating new construction jobs and wages, aligning with broader municipal goals to cultivate sustainable, transit-enhanced neighborhoods across Oahu.
