Koolani is a Kakaako high-rise developed by Florida-based Crescent Heights, located directly adjacent to Ward Village and separated only by a small neighborhood park. Its location provides excellent walkability to Whole Foods, Ala Moana Center, and Ala Moana Beach Park.
The building sits on a 3.5-acre parcel—large for an urban Honolulu tower—allowing for an expansive amenity deck and over 30 guest parking stalls at ground level. The third-floor lobby is positioned away from the street, creating a quieter and more private entry experience than most nearby buildings.
Koolani has four residential elevators and no separate service elevator. Building staff are known for being polite, helpful, and maintaining smooth day-to-day operations.

Koolani’s sixth-floor amenity deck includes landscaped open areas surrounding two tennis courts and six BBQ cabanas. Each BBQ station has a sink with running water. The tennis court and BBQ areas can be windy on many days, while the pool area is more protected by the building and typically experiences less wind.
The pool and hot tub sit on a slightly raised portion of the same deck, alongside the men’s and women’s locker rooms and an outdoor shower.
Behind the tennis courts is a large green lawn used for stretching, yoga, and casual play. At the far end—near Nauru Tower—is a small herb garden with individual planting beds that residents may sign up for.
The sixth floor also includes a guest suite for visiting family or friends. The third mezzanine level features a party room with a main kitchen and prep kitchen, a library, a billiards room, and a business center.

Standard Floors (7–45)
2BR: 1,151–1,518 sq ft
3BR: 1,374–1,561 sq ft
Each standard floor contains nine residences—six 2BR and three 3BR layouts. Units below the 35th floor do not have usable lanais; most feature Juliet-style railings or enclosed sliding-window areas.
Penthouse Levels (46–47)
The penthouses are two-story residences on floors 46 and 47. Upper levels connect to private rooftop terraces (approx. 363–587 sq ft).
Stacks 02–08 currently enjoy southwest-facing ocean views. After Ilima and Melia are built, these stacks will see reduced southwest ocean exposure but retain a wide corridor between Hokua and Ilima.
Stacks 01 and 09 face the mountains and city. Higher floors gain partial ocean views from guest bedrooms:
Neither stack has direct southwest ocean exposure from living areas.
Koolani stands out for its spaciousness across the amenity deck and grounds. Few Honolulu towers offer this much open space.
The wide parking structure and private third-floor lobby create a calm arrival experience. The unit mix (mostly 2BR & 3BR) creates a consistent residential feel.
The walkability is exceptional—next to Ward Village and minutes from Ala Moana Center and Beach Park.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Large 3.5-acre site with spacious amenities | Amenity finishes older than newer Ward Village towers |
| Prime location next to Ward Village | Tennis/BBQ areas can be windy |
| Almost exclusively 2BR & 3BR layouts | 02–08 stacks receive strong afternoon sun |
1. Are EV charging stations available?
Yes—three EV chargers are located on the ground level and shared with Waihonua.
2. How quiet is the building?
The 02–08 stacks are quiet because they do not face an active street. Lower floors (02–04) may hear playground activity.
01 and 09 face Waimanu Street and receive more noise.
Future rail line will run behind stack 01.
3. How does guest parking work?
Guests park in ground-level stalls, take the guest elevator, and register on the 3rd floor.
4. How does the fob system work?
Residents may access only their own floor plus parking and the 6th-floor deck.
3rd floor requires no fob.
A fob is required to exit or re-enter the amenity deck.
