1717 Ala Wai – renovation update, …the future looks bright
Waikiki’s classy 1717 Ala Wai residential condominium building is located along the Ala Wai Blvd towards the Ala Moana end of Waikiki and just across the Ala Wai Canal from the Hawaii Convention Center. This section of Waikiki west of Kalakaua Ave has a quiet residential feel compared to the busy heart of Waikiki. From here a short 10-min stroll will get you to either Waikiki Beach or across the bridge to Ala Moana. The 31-story tall condo tower has an L-shape foot print with a ‘single stack’ design, which allows for excellent natural cross ventilation from the open walkways, with Hawaii’s pleasant prevailing trade winds.

1717 Ala Wai - View From Far AwayAll units are either overlooking the serene Ala Wai Canal or are facing towards the ocean with modest to nice ocean and Ala Moana Park views. Completed in 1970 with 283 generous size 2 and 3 bedroom condos, the building became quickly a local favorite. Each condo features a large usable lanai that makes for great comfortable indoor – outdoor living. The building features a secure lobby and 24h security staff. No wonder it has been a popular building with a high owner occupancy ratio. Amenities include a pool, hot tub, sauna and a large sundeck.

Big milestone
1717 Ala Wai just completed one important phase of the recent extensive renovation project. Repairs have been ongoing since 2013 and now all wastewater drain lines have just been replaced. Although there is still ongoing spalling repair for several more months to come, we feel that 1717 Ala Wai has past the moment of greatest inconvenience.

Opportunity
This could be an opportunity as we see a bright future ahead. We expect that 1717 Ala Wai condo values might move up in the foreseeable future with the prospects of the imminent completion of the remaining renovation work.

1717 Ala Wai’s full splendor will soon be restored and for this classy building,…the future looks bright.
