Floor Plans

What stands out right away is the size of these units. These are noticably larger condos than what we're used to seeing in Kakaako and Kakaako and to further expand on comfortable living space, the developer plans to offer a number of storage options to buyers. In reviewing the floor plate below; we picked up on on the Live/Work Lofts floor plans that offer a refreshing twist to condo living. These ground floor units will see the bedroom and bathroom space elevated over the open living space below for "loft" styled living + a front entry lanai. There's only 9 of these so we don't expect them to last. We'll also see a few other ground-level condos that feature grassy private courtyards. One thing for certain, units with any orientation towards Diamond Head are going to have incredible views from the floor to cieling window.
