HONOLULU--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE: HHC) announced today that it has begun welcoming residents to Anaha®, the second residential tower to be delivered in Ward Village®, the 60-acre coastal master planned community located in the heart of Honolulu. Named “Best-Planned Community in the United States” by Architectural Digest, Ward Village includes a thoughtfully curated mix of retail and dining experiences set among dynamic public open spaces and walkable streets. The milestone was celebrated with a traditional Hawaiian blessing ceremony.
Upon completion, the community will supply over 4,500 new residences in a market where the availability of new housing continues to fall short of demand. To date, the community has contracted to sell more than 1,200 residences, including 97% of Anaha’s 317 homes.
“The completion of Anaha is another significant milestone for Ward Village as our vision for the community to become a vibrant live-work-play destination continues to come to life,” said David R. Weinreb, Chief Executive Officer of The Howard Hughes Corporation. “With its striking architecture, the building is a transformational addition to the Kaka’ako skyline and, along with Waiea®, a symbol of the level of design and quality we aspire to bring to each residence at Ward Village.”
Designed by Chicago-based Solomon Cordwell Buenz in partnership with Honolulu-based Benjamin Woo Architects, the building is home to a diverse range of stylish residences and well-appointed amenities. Residents of Anaha will be able to enjoy an ocean-view glass bottom pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, a tennis court, a beach volleyball court, a library, an auditorium style movie theater, lounge areas, barbecue cabanas, private dining rooms, a wellness center, a putting green, a dog park, and a keiki play area.
“Anaha is not only a great addition to Ward Village, but furthers the establishment of an engaging, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood that will serve the broader Oahu community,” said Todd Apo, Vice President of Community Development for The Howard Hughes Corporation. “With the dynamic mix of dining, shopping, entertainment, and cultural offerings at Ward Village, such as the first Oahu location of highly-regarded Merriman’s restaurant that will open at the base of Anaha, the neighborhood will continue to attract and serve residents and visitors alike.”
The Information Center and Residential Sales Gallery is located at the iconic IBM Building at 1240 Ala Moana Blvd. For more information, visit www.wardvillage.com.
