Ka Malanai - New Condos in Kailua - Buildings 7 and 8

Today, I visited Ka Malanai with a client who put down a deposit for a new condomimum home in Kailua. Yay! Home Shoppe Hawaii is proud to say we have assisted many buyers with their purchase in this new Kailua condominium development. Ka Malanai is the first new condo building in Kailua in over 20 years. Ka Malanai is also on the VA list (VA financing is approved). The floor plans of these new Kailua condominiums are great and there are 1, 2 and 3 bedroom models from which to choose. The prices for 1 BR at Ka Malanai start in the low 600’s. 3 BR are in the upper 800 and 900’s, which is less than the median price of a single-family home in Kailua.

All Ka Malanai units feature beautiful finishes and upgrades, central air conditioning, and are single-level, with elevators in each building. No other Kailua condominium offers these features. 2 and 3 BR units also offer two deeded parking spaces. Kitchens and bathrooms are spacious and beautiful. The hallways are wide. These new Kailua condos feel more like a single-family home than a condominium. The Kailua location also cannot be beat, just a short distance from Kailua Beach and in the center of Kailua Town. They are over 75% owner-occupied, but also make a great investment.

3 BR - Living Room, Floor Plan B

Buildings 1-6 have completely sold out. There are very occasional resales in these buildings. Building 7 was released in November 2016 and Building 8 was released early this month. They are currently under construction, to be finished in July or August 2017. There is still some time to choose your own finishes. With sales of only a few months, out of these 60 new Ka Malanai units (buildings 7 and 8), only 20 remain. Hurry and act quickly, if you are interested in Ka Malanai, because these are going fast. There are still a few of each floor plan available, as of this writing.

Home Shoppe Hawaii represents BUYERS of Ka Malanai condominiums in Kailua, which is still being sold by DR Horton, the developer. The developer has on-site sales people to help you, but you will not be represented, as a client, if you go there without an agent. If you would like exclusive agent representation for this important transaction, please call Home Shoppe Hawaii LLC, Prinicipal Broker, Yvonne Ahearn at 808-721-8088. We can give you more information about which units are available, the prices, and take you on a tour of the property. ~ Aloha

Ka Malanai in Kailua - Kailua's Newest Condos for Sale

Ka Malanai is Kailua’s newest condominium complex. Actually, its the first new construction condo in Kailua in over 20 years. Ka Malanai is located in the heart of Kailua, close to shopping, dining, and other entertainment. Ka Malanai is located less than a mile from picturesque Kailua Beach. Prices are from the 500’s to $1M, for 1-3 bedroom condominium homes.

What Makes Ka Malanai great to purchase, to live or for investment? In my opinion, these are some of the great things about Ka Malanai:

  • Premier Kailua Location
  • Spacious, single-family home-like floor plans
  • Nice, higher end upgrades
  • Low mainenance fees (when you consider square footage of units)
  • All are Single-level units with elevator (and stair) access. No interior unit staircases.
  • Rents are currently very high there, much higher than the average for similar properties in other nearby buildings. Investors love this property.

 Call Yvonne Ahearn (B) 808-721-8088 to learn more and for assistance with the purchase of one of these beautiful homes.

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.
