History
Built in 1979, the Island Colony is a 44-story condotel located along the Ala Wai Canal, on the mauka (mountain) side of Waikiki. The majority of units are fee simple, but a handful of leasehold units remain (most with fee available for purchase).
Developed by Haseko Hawaii, a Japan-based real estate developer with a long history of projects in Hawaii. Haseko Hawaii completed its first project in Hawaii in 1973, and its portfolio incudes Ka Makana at Hoakalei, Ocean Pointe, the Courtyards at Punahou, Liliuokalani Gardens, Kona by the Sea, Pacific Monarch, 444 Nahua, in addition to other projects on the Big Island, Kauai, and Maui.
