Honolulu’s most populous bird is the ubiquitous crane. From Waikiki to Pearl City, the skyline is dotted with crane after crane. If the building boom is easing on Oahu, you can’t tell from the sky birds.
Another crane will go up on Kalakaua Avenue across from the Hawaii Convention Center and amid the glassy shadow of the Century Center. Cranes mean buildings and this one will be a 16 story residential condominium which borders on affordable.
Affordable? At $750 a square foot? These condos will come in the standard studio, one and two bedroom styles, from about 400 to just over 700 square feet. The starting price? $292,000.
That’s considered affordable at about $750 per square foot. I’m serious. That’s considered affordable.
Such affordability comes with a pool, a spa, a restaurant, and a fitness center. I’ll admit that the location is more than convenient with bus routes all over the place, and within walking distance of Ala Moana Center, the beach, and KFC. What more could a person want for $750 a square foot?
Parking?
