This rendering shows the plan for the 7000 Hawaii Kai residential rental project.
Honolulu-based Avalon Development Co. LLC is set to begin construction Friday on a $165 million Hawaii Kai residential rental project that was first planned as a luxury condominium project by a South Korean developer, and has had starts and stops during the last several years.
The cost to develop the project is pegged at $108 million, but with the land cost penciled in, the total cost of it is $165 million, Christine Camp, president and CEO of Avalon, told PBN.
Originally called the Hale Ka Lae condominium, the project at 7000 Hawaii Kai Drive, which includes two 10-story buildings and a parking structure on nearly four acres of land, is now being called 7000 Hawaii Kai.
There will be a total of 269 units at both market-rate and affordable rates.
Avalon Development was contracted in December by the landowner, South Korea-based Hanwha Engineering and Construction, to develop, redesign and obtain financing for the project. The developer is holding a groundbreaking ceremony on Friday at 10:30 a.m. at the 7000 Hawaii Kai Drive site.
Rents for the affordable portion of the project will range between $1,475 per month to $2,200 per month, while rents for the market-rate units will range from $2,200 per month to $3,700 per month. The rents include maintenance fees.
The developer said that it should finish the project in about 16 months, which would mean the second quarter of 2016.
