Ward Village issued the following statement today regarding sales at Ae'o at 1001 Queen Street ‐ a 466‐unit mixed‐use condominium tower in Honolulu
HONOLULU (July 24, 2015) – Sales for the 234 owner occupant units at Ae'o began at 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 18. During the initial signing period from July 18 through Wednesday, July 22 more than 110 units were sold to local residents.
"The success of Ae'o in the first week has been phenomenal. We have exceeded our expectations for the start of owner‐occupant sales and have been taking back‐ups on a number of our most popular units," said Nick Vanderboom, senior vice president of development for Ward Village.
"Ae'o appeals to buyers as diverse as the island community itself – including young families from Makiki, empty nesters relocating from Waialae, and young professionals looking to live closer to where they work. These are local residents, many of whom are making a suburban‐to‐urban transition and are excited by the experience, amenities and walkable neighborhood that Ward Village will provide."
About Ward Village®
Developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation, Ward Village is a new 60-acre coastal master planned community in the heart of Honolulu located between downtown and Waikīkī in the Kakaʻako district. Ward Village includes two mixed-use residential towers – Waiea and Anaha – that are now under construction and will transform the popular shopping and dining district into a vibrant neighborhood that offers exceptional residences with incredible island and ocean views and a carefully curated mix of retail experiences set among dynamic public open spaces and walkable streets.
This growing community will include three additional developments: Ae'o at 1001 Queen Street, Gateway Towers and Ke Kilohana at 988 Halekauwila Street. Aeʻo at 1001 Queen Street is a 466-unit mixed-use condominium tower anchored by a flagship Whole Foods Market. The extraordinary first building of Gateway Towers on Ala Moana Boulevard will bring the architecture of world-renowned architect Richard Meier to the Honolulu skyline. Ke Kilohana will bring housing targeted for local residents and a 23,000 square foot Long's Drugs to the neighborhood.
The vision for Ward Village is consistent with the master plan approved by the HCDA in 2009, which allows for up to 9.3 million square feet of mixed-use development and will include over 4,000 residences and over 1 million square feet of retail space.
Ward Village is Hawaiʻi's only LEED-ND Platinum-Certified project and the largest neighborhood development in the country to receive such a prestigious certification.
