HHMK Development, LLC, comprised of landowner and developer The Howard Hughes Corporation and a joint venture of Honolulu development firms, The MacNaughton Group and Kobayashi Group, announced Thursday the latest developments in its highly anticipated luxury residential tower to be built at Ala Moana Center.

This development, named "ONE Ala Moana," will offer an ultra-luxury lifestyle to a mix of local and international residents.

Earlier this year, HHMK Development shared its plans to evaluate development of luxury condominiums above the existing Nordstrom parking structure at Ala Moana Center, which was designed to support a residential tower.

The exclusive, boutique 23-story tower will offer 206 one, two and three bedroom condominium homes ranging from 760 to 4,100 square feet.  The ONE Ala Moana design will provide intimate, private living with no more than seven homes per floor within two attached but separate towers, each with individual elevator systems.

Each home will feature Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele appliances, German cabinetry from Studio Becker, and superior finishes.  In addition to exceptional interiors, the building will feature an exclusive service, amenity and concierge package unique to Hawaii, which will include benefits from ONE Ala Moana’s proximity to Ala Moana Center’s outstanding retail shopping, service, dining and entertainment options.

"We are seeing extensive interest among potential purchasers and anticipate rapid sales because of the unique location, high quality design and finishes and the fact that buyers could be living in their new homes within the next 24 months," said Bert Kobayashi, Sr., Kobayashi Group Founder and Senior Advisor.  "The early interest is from individual buyers and the high-end realtor community, both in and outside Hawaii, who know our reputation and dedication to exceptional quality and stand-out developments."

Both Kobayashi Group and The MacNaughton Group, individually and as partners, are known for many popular Hawaii projects, including Hokua, a luxury condo tower completed by the partners in 2006.  Both developers are pleased to partner with The Howard Hughes Corporation for the first time on ONE Ala Moana, The Howard Hughes Corporation’s first high-rise residential tower in Hawaii.

"ONE Ala Moana will offer a one-of-a-kind lifestyle experience with the best in luxury retail and restaurants at your doorstep," said David R. Weinreb, Chief Executive Officer of The Howard Hughes Corporation.  "We look forward to our continued work with our esteemed partners, The MacNaughton Group and Kobayashi Group, as we launch the sales and construction phase of ONE Ala Moana."

HHMK Development has selected a project team of local and nationally recognized firms who are dedicating their expertise to develop designer level interiors and exteriors.  Hawaii architectural firm Benjamin Woo Architects and San Francisco- and Chicago-based Solomon Cordwell Buenz are working together on an outstanding architectural design.  The architectural features will be complemented with building interiors designed by Hawaii-based Philpotts Interiors.

Prices for ONE Ala Moana luxury condominiums are expected to range from approximately $500,000 for the lower floor mauka view one-bedroom condominiums to over $9 million for penthouse suites.  Average prices for residences in this luxury building is approximately $1.6 million.
