Welcome to Waiea
Waiea, meaning "water of life" in Hawaiian, stands as the inaugural ultra-luxury residential tower in Ward Village, completed in December 2016. Designed by renowned architect James K.M. Cheng, its distinctive glass façade, composed of over 1,200 customized pieces, evokes the fluidity of water, symbolizing Hawaii's deep connection to the ocean and honors the life-giving role of water.
Rising 36 stories, Waiea comprises 174 residences, including 10 villas, 12 penthouses, and two grand penthouses. Each unit features floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious lanais, offering panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Ala Moana Beach Park, and the Honolulu skyline. Interiors are adorned with high-end finishes, such as European cabinetry, Miele appliances, and polished-quartz composite countertops.
Residents enjoy an array of amenities, including an infinity-edge pool overlooking theocean, a state-of-the-art fitness center with a yoga studio, and resort-style locker rooms equipped with steam, sauna, and treatment rooms. The building also features a private theater, library, indoor golf simulator, and multiple dining and entertaining spaces. Its completion marked a significant milestone in Ward Village's transformation into a vibrant, walkable community, setting a new standard for luxury living in Honolulu.
