803 Waimanu St. Condos, Kakaako Honolulu, Hawaii
Find similar condos for sale here- New Condos & Pentouse Guide for Honolulu
As the breadth of construction in the Kaka'ako neighborhood of Honolulu begins to take shape, one project that has managed to survive the complaints and objecting critics is the 803 Waimanu St. Condo complex now slated for completion in 2015-16. Having been whittled down substantially in size, the one time 27 story skyscraper is now a humble 7 story low-rise with Market and "workforce" housing. Pricing has not been set.
The "golden rule" responsible for the former Goliath being laid low-rise is simple. Those who have the gold make the rules. The Imperial Plaza residents next door asked HCDA to step in and "squash" the project. "Thou shalt not block the views of luxury condos with affordable housing". It's interesting that the projects involving affordable housing seem to be the projects that get canned, or have their designs suddenly changed from Fee Simple affordable housing to affordable lease housing. Hopefully, local developers will be more responsive to the needs of the local population as the Master Plan for the area evolves.

Up and Comming Kaka'ako
Kaka'ako is an up and coming neighborhood in Honolulu slated for major Urban Development over the next 20 years with a multitude of Ultra Luxury complex's going up. The struggle to keep affordable housing in the area has been an uphill battle as the median condo prices will no doubt go up as a result of developers focusing on the Luxury Market revenue and not the rising cost of living for locals and the disproportionate amount of development focused on foreign investment.
