Housing project caters to active seniors
Leihano Village in Kapolei aims to be different from earlier senior-living projects
Boomers, forget the likes of the Club Med. Brookfield Homes Hawaii and Kisco Senior Living believe the next generation of adult communities will boast wellness amenities that allow aging in place while pursuing the active lifestyles that baby boomers have made commonplace.
Brookfield and Kisco yesterday announced plans for Leihano Village, which the companies are calling Hawaii's first combined age-restricted adult and continuing-care community.
The 40-acre Kapolei development, which will cater to those 55 and above, will offer independent living and continuing-care accommodations.
The project is slated to open in 2009.

New Kapi'olani luxury condominium going up
Source: honolulu advertiser
A South Korean company has bought a vacant lot on Kapi'olani Boulevard fronting Ala Moana Center with plans to develop a luxury condominium tower, extending Honolulu's residential high-rise boom.
The 1.43-acre site at 1391 Kapi'olani Blvd. sold for $26 million. The lot was previously home to an automobile dealership and is a block 'ewa of the Nordstrom store under construction.
The property has a 250-foot building height limit and is considered fairly ideal for a residential tower. That's in part because of possible ocean views at higher floors and proximity to Ala Moana Center.

Towers of office space to fill Kapolei skyline

Get ready for the Kapolei "skyline."
Three office/retail projects under way in O'ahu's Second City could add as much as 900,000 square feet of leasable space to the region over the next few years.
Take the combined space offered by the Ke'eaumoku Sam's Club and Wal-Mart stores, about 310,000 square feet, multiply that by three, and that's just a little more than what's to be constructed in mostly office space within a one-mile radius in the heart of downtown Kapolei.
FOUR TOWERS
Avalon Development Co., developer of the Kapolei Pacific Center, has perhaps been the most aggressive in pushing its project.
The project is next to the Kapolei Library and would have four towers of up to seven stories in height with about 300,000 square feet of leasable area. The company plans to break ground this fall and have the first tower completed about a year later, said Steve Kothenbeutel, Avalon development associate.
UP TO 8 STORIES
The Kapolei City Plaza is being developed by California-based Kahl and Goveia on property next to Kapolei Pacific Center and behind Island Pacific Academy, said Brown of Hawaii Commercial Real Estate.
Two towers are envisioned — one of seven stories and the second with eight stories, including ground-floor retail, Brown said.
About 300,000 square feet of leasable space would be available in all, Brown said. At least the first building, which would take between 18 months and two years to build, would target primarily medical space, he said.
The Kapolei City Plaza would "look more like a downtown office building" with a larger, 20,000-square-foot floor plate.

Construction will start early next year in Nu'uanu on the first retirement community in the Islands geared to moderate-income seniors.
The $90 million, 171-unit facility at 15 Craigside Place is expected to open by December 2009, and is designed to serve a population whose long-term care options are limited in the Islands.
