Location The Launiu Ward Village is a new residential condo tower in Honolulu that has begun sales. It will be situated on the front-row in the Ward Village neighborhood, a master-planned community within the larger Kaka’ako area. To the east of Ward Village is Ala Moana, Waikiki, and Diamond Head, giving residents of the neighborhood easy access to the Honolulu nightlife. The Launiu is being developed at the corner of Ala Moana Boulevard and Ward Avenue, across the street from the Kalae development, another new tower coming to Ward Village that just broke ground. The Launiu will be on the opposite side of Ward Ave. from Kalae's development. The entrance will lie on Auahi Street, near the lower left in the above image. Since The Launiu is on the edge of the front row, it provides a closer connection to Our Kaka'ako than many other towers in the neighborhood. Ward Village is a master-planned community in the Kaka’ako area of Honolulu, built from the ground up to be pedestrian friendly. It offers plenty of shopping, dining, and retail spaces in addition the Ward Entertainment Center, a multipurpose venue. Take a leisurely stroll in the neighborhood and you're bound to find charming cafes to visit, amazing restaurants and bars for a night out, and even high-tech co-working spaces with breathtaking views of the ocean. You can read more about the Ward Village Master Plan here . Resident Lifestyle The Launiu's lifestyle will be a mix of modern luxury blended with a unique Hawaii charm. Think calm mornings on your east-facing lanai, exceptional service from on-site staff, and amenities that'll put a lot of other towers to shame.

This tower's amenity deck is a floor above that of Kalae and Alia, the neighboring buildings, offering a higher vantage point for ocean views. The streetscapes are very pedestrian-friendly, allowing for seamless integration of towers with the surrounding area. With Ward Village being a very walkable neighborhood, you're always going to be a short walk away from the modern conveniences, with the beach a slightly more leisurely stroll away.

To the east is the Ala Moana Shopping Center , the largest open-air shopping center in the world. Not to be outshone, to the west lies SALT at Our Kakaako .
