Kaka‘ako’s vibrant evolution continues with the introduction of Kahuina, a transformative mixed-use development from developer Standford Carr. Kahuina will be located in Block C, one of nine blocks in the Kaiāuluʻo Kaka’ako Master Plan by Kamehameha Schools. Bounded by Cooke, Auahi, Coral and Pohukaina Streets, this new development is set to be a key landmark in the Kaka'ako neighborhood.
Construction of Kahuina, which was orginally set to begin in January 2024, has been delayed, pushing back the inital June 2026 completion date. Sales have not started—sign up for updates to be notified of any updates on this project.
The name Kahuina is a nod to ka huina, which translates to "to come together, the crossroad" in Hawaiian. True to its name, Kahuina promises a diverse and inclusive community where residents and visitors can gather, work and enjoy the best of the Kaka‘ako lifestyle.
About Kahuina
Kahuina will have a total of 859 units, 60 percent of which will be designated as affordable housing, providing opportunities for local families to call Kaka‘ako home. Designed by local architecture firm Alakea Design Group, the project will consist of two towers, Tower A and Tower B.
Tower A will be 400 feet tall with 43 floors and consist of 329 market-rate units and 120 affordable units (for households earning 111% to 140% of AMI). Tower B will be shorter, at 301 feet tall and 32 floors. It will consist 276 affordable units for purchase, 123 workforce rental units (for households earning 70% to 100% AMI and one manager’s unit), as well as 12 live/work units. The ground floor of Tower B will feature 35,000 square feet of commercial and retail spaces and a landscaped plaza at the corner of Auahi and Cooke Street. Tower B will house the 9-level parking garage and the recreation deck.
A Vibrant Urban Experience
In addition to residential units, Kahuina will include more than 35,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. From local shops and cafes to essential services, this mixed-use development will create a lively streetscape that encourages walkability.
Designed with sustainability in mind, Kahuina will also feature green spaces and pedestrian-friendly pathways to seamlessly connect residents to the surrounding urban environment.
