Melia is a proposed ultra-luxury residential tower to be developed on a prime 1.8-acre Ward Village lot along Ala Moana Blvd - currently part of the Ward Centre site.
Melia and Ilima are planned as the 12th and 13th towers in Ward Village, located side-by-side and designed to harmonize architecturally. Together they will occupy adjoining blocks, forming Ward Village’s most exclusive pair of luxury developments.
Mahana Ward Village will follow as the 14th and final tower in the master-planned community.
Pricing Melia is expected to become the 2nd most expensive condo in Ward Village, surpassed only by Ilima.
The Tower Melia will be a 400-ft tower set approximately 75 ft back from Ala Moana Blvd, with 242 residences across floors 7 to 35:
79 × 1BR
98 × 2BR
62 × 3BR
3 × 4BR
Additional tower characteristics:
8 units per floor up to the 31st floor, with fewer units on upper floors.
Ceiling heights: ~10’6” on most floors; ~11’ on the 32nd & 35th floors.
L-shaped design to maximize ocean exposures.
3 residential elevators + 1 service elevator.
The Podium Melia sits atop a 5-story, 65-ft-tall podium, containing:
452 residential parking stalls (floors 2–5)
25 guest parking stalls (ground level)
Storage space for all units
60 bicycle stalls
Ground level will include ~8,000 ft² of commercial space, positioned on opposite ends of the lot along Auahi Street. There will be no commercial parking allocated.
Podium details:
Rooftop: Melia’s outdoor amenity deck
Setbacks: ~15 ft along Auahi St and Ala Moana Blvd
Expected streetscape improvements: wide sidewalks, shade trees, and enhanced landscaping
Ka Lei Park Adjacent to Melia will be Ka Lei Park, offering 36,000+ ft² of open space including:
Grass lawns
Landscaped walkways
Shaded seating areas
A children’s play area
The park will be located west of the current Ward Centre, at the corner of Kamakee Street and Ala Moana Boulevard, while the historic IBM Building sits east of Ward Centre at the corner of Queen Street and Auahi Street.
The Club & Amenities Melia owners will have access to a limited number of Mohala Club memberships, based in Ilima. This provides shared access to Ilima’s restaurants and full suite of amenities, making Melia part of an integrated ultra-luxury club ecosystem.
There have been no sales in Melia Ward Village over the past 36 months, making it impractical to create a graph for this condo. The graph above, therefore, represents all Kakaako condos.

We exclude Leasehold data from this market analysis because Leasehold properties do not compare with regular Fee Simple properties.
We use median instead of the average because it depicts more accurately a central tendency to the sample size. Example: Take 5 numbers - 3, 5, 7, 9, 21. The median is 7 (the middle number) and the average is 9 (sum of all divided by 5).
We count days on market from listing date through closing date.
