Construction through a series of low-density, eight-story residential buildings will begin in mid-2014, with completion expected by late 2016. Located on about eight acres stretching along a quarter mile of Ala Moana Blvd., from Neiman Marcus to Piikoi St., the residences will consist of Hawaiian-style design and architecture. Units will average 2,000 square feet, from 850 square-foot one bedrooms to 6,000 square-foot fivebedroom penthouses, all with 10-foot ceilings and ocean views. Some also will feature tropical gardens, private lap and plunge pools, private garages, lanai as large as 1,100 square feet, and indoor-outdoor kitchens and private grills.
