The Launiu is the eleventh high‑rise in Howard Hughes Corporation’s master‑planned 60‑acre Ward Village, rising at the coveted corner of Ala Moana Boulevard and Ward Avenue in Honolulu. Scheduled for completion by 2028, the sleek 40‑story tower plus a six‑story podium will house 486 market‑rate condominium residences—ranging from studios to three‑bedroom layouts—with sizes spanning approximately 440 to 1,677 square feet. This “front‑row” development is positioned to offer sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Diamond Head, and island mountains, while its flowing façade and lanai-treated east-facing units enhance aesthetic appeal.

Residences at The Launiu exude understated elegance: ceilings soar nine feet high, floor‑to‑ceiling windows frame the landscape, and finishes include oak flooring, Studio Becker cabinetry, quartzite surfaces, and Sub‑Zero/Wolf appliances . On the seventh floor, a sprawling 70,000+ square‑foot amenity deck delivers resort‑style living with lap and leisure pools, spa hot tubs, a tide pool, multiple club rooms with kitchens, BBQ cabanas, a fitness/movement studio, guest suites, dog run, lush green lawns, and secured bike/surfboard storage.

The Launiu’s location within Ward Village situates it amid a vibrant, walkable urban neighborhood featuring parks, retail, dining, and a future Skyline rail station. Ground‑level retail spaces further enliven the streetscape, while landscape design by Vita, architecture by Arquitectonica, and interiors by ODADA help weave a contemporary island lifestyle into the development. With short‑term rentals prohibited and robust parking provisions (718 residential stalls plus guest and commercial), The Launiu is tailored for owner‑occupants seeking refined living in Honolulu’s most cohesive real‑estate community.

The Launiu Ward Village offers a thoughtfully curated mix of floorplans to accommodate a wide range of lifestyles, from efficient studios to expansive three-bedroom layouts. Studios start around 440 square feet, one-bedrooms range between 585 to 870 square feet, two-bedrooms span approximately 1,130 to 1,305 square feet, and three-bedroom residences offer up to 1,677 square feet of interior space. Many units include private lanais that seamlessly extend the living area and invite natural ventilation and ocean views. Designed with open-concept layouts, spacious kitchens, and dedicated storage, each floorplan emphasizes both form and functionality—ideal for full-time residents or second-home buyers seeking an elevated Honolulu lifestyle.
