Opportunities & Considerations

Opportunities	Considerations
New construction quality – Premium appliances, finishes, and smart design by Design Partners Inc. and Philpotts Interiors .	Maintenance fees – Typically range from $700–$1,100/month depending on size and floor, potentially impacting monthly budgets (e.g., unit #3406 fee was $1,061) .
Strong amenities – The sky terrace supports a variety of wellness, social, and pet‑friendly activities.	No short‑term rentals – The residential West Tower prohibits STRs, limiting investor rental flexibility.
Views & natural light – High floors offer panoramic scenery of ocean, city, and mountains.	Traffic & noise – Being on busy Kapiolani Blvd and near commercial zones may introduce ambient traffic noise.
Walkability & convenience – Access to beach, shopping, dining within minutes on foot.	Parking constraints – Shared guest stalls are limited; residents typically purchase one or two spaces.
Investment potential – New condos sell for ~$800k–$1.5M, with strong resale and rental market.	Size limits – Units max out at two bedrooms; larger families or buyers seeking more space may find options limited.

Why Sky Ala Moana West Stands Out

Sky Ala Moana West offers the luxury and convenience of a brand‑new urban tower in one of Honolulu’s most vibrant corridors. Its modern residences, sweeping views, expansive sky deck, and unbeatable location across from premiere shopping and beach access make it ideal for professionals, downsizing retirees, and investors seeking long‑term rentals. However, buyers should be comfortable with HOA fees, smaller floor plans, and restrictions on short‑term leasing.
