Waikiki Condo with Diamond Head View - Newly Listed 2 Bedroom

Removed from the market in January, shortly after listing, we have just relisted this fabulous 2 bedroom 2 bath condominium home in Waikiki. At 989 square feet, this is one of the larger available floor plans of any 2 bedroom condominium in Waikiki. It also features a 110 square foot lanai. This condo is situated perfectly to capture the lovely cross-breezes from the ocean and is a great value at $509,000 FS.

See a slideshow below:

  

This Waikiki condominium is in a boutique building called Kealani. Kealani has only 4 units per floor, so all are corner units. This particular unit, #802, has both Ala Wai canal (from the dining room) and Diamond Head (from the lanai) views, and it is on the quieter and cleaner (away from Ala Wai Blvd) side of the building. Kealani has a swimming pool and both of the two elevators have been replaced within the past few years.

The spacious living area in this Honolulu condominium features maple laminate flooring. The kitchen and bathrooms are original in this 1970 building, so a new buyer may update to suit their own tastes. The master bedroom suite features two closets with mirrored doors, and is quite large. Storage is plentiful in this nicely laid out Waikiki condominium. There is also an additional storage room on the same floor as the condominium, which is shared with the 3 other owners on that floor. The parking space for this unit is also one of the best in the building. It is large, extra-long, covered, and in the secure section of the garage.

The location of the Kealani building in Waikiki is ideal, within a few blocks of Waikiki Beach, near the zoo end of Waikiki. There is plenty of shopping and great restaurants nearby. This well-kept building also has a very high owner occupancy, shows pride of ownership, and is on the VA Loan “Approved” list.

Please call Yvonne Ahearn (B) at 808-721-8088 to see this beautiful condominium today.

Kailua Condo Living

Kailua, Oahu, on the Windward side of the Island of Oahu, Hawaii, is a great place for condo living. There are many options to choose from and condominiums in Kailua are generally (with a few exceptions) more affordable- than single-family homes in Kailua.

Overall, Kailua or Kailua Town, as some call it, is one of the most desired locations to live on this Island.

Ka Malanai in Kailua Update - New Construction Condos in Kailua

Ka Malanai, the new construction condominium in Kailua, was discussed at the Windward Regional Meeting of REALTORS recently, at the Mid-Pacific Country Club.  Formerly called the Ironwoods, this development is the first new construction condominium development in Kailua in decades.

Several key personnel from D.R. Horton were in attendance to speak on the new Ka Malanai condominium development, to give updates, and to answer questions.

Of interest was the following information:

Pricing: $400-900K, for 1 to 3 bedroom units. They still have not gotten any more specific on pricing at this time.

Reservation System: Ka Malanai will use a lottery system and will offer units, by building. The lottery for Ka Malanai will be publicized in local media for at least two weeks prior to starting. And, as I understand it, if you are selected for one building and the unit type you want is no longer available, you can select another available unit in the building, but are not autmatically eligible for a unit in another building. The lotteries will be held one building at a time, as they are completed.

Completion: The buildings will be completed one at a time, starting from the North (Kailua Town) side of the Ka Malanai development and heading toward Enchanted Lake. It appears that there may be only 5 and not 6 buildings now.

Upgrades: There will be a base kitchen/appliance package available and an upgraded one, as well at Ka Malanai

Pets: Ka Malanai will be a pet-friendly building.

Floor Plans: Three floor plans have been realeased, this far.

Advice of Realtors: You can use your own real estate broker to represent your interests in your purchase Ka Malanai and they will compensate your broker, but you must register your brokers name with Ka Malanai.

If you would like more information or need assistance with your Ka Malanai purchase, please do not hesitate to email or call Home Shoppe Hawaii at 808-721-8088.

Ironwoods in Kailua - Ka Malanai Condominiums - New Construction in Kailua

 

Ground has broken for Ka Malanai, the long-awaited new condominium project in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii! This is the largest new construction condominium project in at least 20 years in Kailua. This project was previously known as The Ironwoods Kailua and is on Kailua Road in the center of Kailua Town, about 14 miles from Honolulu. Other condominiums such as Windward Passage and Gardenia Manor are nearby.  The developer of this project is well-known D.R. Horton-Schuler.

This new construction condominium development in Kailua, is situated ideally in the heart of Kailua, where residents will be able to walk to stores such as Target (coming soon), Macy’s, Whole Foods and Pier One Imports. Many restaurants and other shopping is also nearby, including the Thursday night Farmer’s Market across from Long’s Drugs. Picturesque Kailua Beach Park is less than a mile away, as well and the development is on “The Bus” line. These new Ka Malanai condominiums in Kailua are set to change the landscape of Kailua.

The new Ka Malanai condominiums in Kailua will consist of six 4-story buildings built around lovely open-air courtyards, with grass and Hawaiian plantings, which will be seen from Kailua Road. The lower level will consist of retail and business space, and living space will be above.

The residences in the Ka Malanai condo development in Kailua will be one, two and three bedrooms units. There will be mostly 2 bedroom units, with a total of 153 homes. All units in Ka Malanai in Kailua will be single level, making this development ideal for many.

When called the Ironwoods, the developers of Ka Malanai Kailua had stated that the new Kailua condo development would have minimal amenities, to keep the monthly maintenance fees down. This would probably mean no pool, tennis courts and the like. It is estimated that prices will range from somewhere in the $400K’s for one bedrooms units, to the $800Ks for larger units. Square footage will be approximately 700-1,800 square feet. Sales of Ka Malanai Kailua are targeted to begin in late 2012.
