Island Design & Lifestyle | The Launiu Ward Village | Luxury Condos in Kaka’ako, Honolulu, Hawai’i

The Launiu is the newest tower to be launched at Ward Village, consisting of studio, one, two, and three bedroom offerings. Front row to the ocean (of three rows of condominiums), The Launiu is considered ultra-luxury (Ward Village condos start at entry-level luxury).

Set in the Kaka’ako area of Honolulu, Ward Village is a master planned community developed by the Howard Hughes Corporation. The completely walkable work-play-live area equates to a city within a city, vibrant with beautiful, thoughtfully designed condos plus curated retail, dining, and amenities. If the community is designed this well, one can only imagine the actual condos, amenities, and interiors!

Landscape design is by VITA Planning & Landscape Architecture, building design is by Arquitectonica, while Interior Design is by ODADA.

The amenity deck on level seven is designed with ample greenery, a resort-leisure pool, fitness-lap pool, two spa jacuzzis, a shallow ‘tide’ pool, dining cabanas, fitness room, yoga-movement studio, womens and mens locker rooms, and more. Your own wellness retreat, escape from the big city of Honolulu below, as well as place to welcome family and friends to entertain. Right at home.

Interior features include nine foot ceilings and oak engineered flooring in the main living areas, lanais (decks/patios) on Diamond Head Tower residences (facing Diamond Head :), juliette balconies on Sunset Tower residences, open planned kitchen, living, and dining areas, and floor to ceiling windows. The renderings visualize bright, feel-good spaces designed for maximizing front row ocean and Diamond Head views. In the kitchen, good design was obviously a priority with a seamless finish featuring Wolf cooktop, oven, and microwave, Sub-Zero fridge and freezer, Studio Becker cabinetry, quartzite stone island, countertops, and backsplash in natural tones.

General price ranges begin at $725,000 for studios, heading up to $4.4M for a three bedroom. Various options in pricing exist between. Estimated completion is in late 2027, and estimated HOA is $1.25/SF.
