The Quick Take: The 13th tower in the award-winning Ward Village master plan has arrived. ʻIlima isn’t just another condo; it’s a collaboration between Howard Hughes and Discovery Land Company, bringing “Private Club” service to the heart of Honolulu.
🏛️ Architecture Meets Art
Designed by the world-renowned Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA), ʻIlima moves away from the “glass box” look of typical modern towers. Instead, it draws inspiration from Honolulu’s historic architecture, featuring:
-
Precast Stone Facades: Giving the building a timeless, elegant aesthetic.
-
L-Shaped Design: Carefully oriented to maximize protected views of the Pacific Ocean and Diamond Head.
-
Spacious Estates: Focusing on expansive 2-bedroom to 6-bedroom residences meant for true “estate-style” living.
🏊 The “Mohala” Experience
The standout feature is the Mohala Owners’ Club. This isn’t just an amenity deck; it’s a lifestyle managed by Discovery Land Company (the team behind the exclusive Kūkiʻo on the Big Island).
-
81,000+ Sq. Ft. of Amenities: Including resort-style pools, a fitness hale, and a spa grotto.
-
Signature Concierge: Personalized service that handles everything from outdoor pursuits to private dining.
-
Exclusive Dining: On-site culinary experiences reserved for residents and their guests.
📍 Location: The Final Front Row
Situated at 1238 Ala Moana Blvd, ʻIlima sits directly across from Ala Moana Beach Park. It occupies one of the last remaining “front-row” parcels, ensuring that your view corridors remain some of the best in the world.
Sarah’s Take: “If you’ve been waiting for a building that combines the luxury of a 5-star resort with the soul of old Honolulu, ʻIlima is it. The partnership with Discovery Land Company is a total game-changer for Ward Village.”
