This construction method lowers construction costs while delivering a faster construction schedule. Minimizing construction costs, the development team worked closely with the design‐assist contractor, Hawaiian Dredging Construction Company, to design and construct the high‐rise tower using the tunnel‐form construction method. On‐site recreation and open space include a public plaza spanning the Kapi‘olani Boulevard frontage and a recreation area on the top deck of the parking structure. The project includes both affordable (60%) and market‐priced (40%) for‐ sale housing units with commercial retail spaces on the ground floor. Kapi‘olani Residence consists of a 45‐story, 485‐unit multi‐family residential condominium with a 9‐story free‐standing parking structure. In working closely with the City and County of Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting and City Council members, the project respects the spirit of the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) concept and becomes part of the city’s goal of having a vibrant, dynamic, and pedestrian‐friendly neighborhood. Kapi‘olani Residence, developed by Samkoo Pacific, LLC, is the State of Hawai‘i’s first affordable high‐rise project in collaboration with Hawai‘i Housing Finance & Development Corporation (HHFDC).
