About 1717 Ala Wai 1717 Ala Wai's location on that thoroughfare is a little different. It stands on the section below the intersection with Kalakaua Ave, keeping it on the serene side of this busy artery. The police, ambulance & fire sirens rarely find their way past that crossing and the traffic levels drop dramatically at that point as well.
Though it's not the actual ocean, there's much to love about the views of the Ala Wai Canal that most of the 1717 Ala Wai condo units have laid out before them. You can watch the outrigger teams paddling up and down the way, a touch of Hawaii that you'll always enjoy seeing. The grand architecture of the Hawaii Convention Center just across that same waterway also adds a certain stateliness to your vista. Things inside look good, too.
The building has a brand new fitness center and the common areas are currently being extensively remodeled. The improvements are intended to reflect the property's history as an upscale residence, so they are certain to be worth the time & labor once completed.
