First-of-its-kind housing project in Hawaii cut down by 2 stories


A housing project that is expected to be the first of its kind in Hawaii has been downsized by a couple of floors, according to recently released public documents for the development.
Located in the Honolulu neighborhood of Kakaako, New York-based BronxPro Group’s Nohona Hale project includes 111 affordable rental micro-units in a now 14-story tower set upon a two-level podium that will encompass the lobby, living room, community spaces and management offices.
The project, which will include units that measure about 300 square feet, was once supposed to be 16 stories. It will be aimed at low-income households earning 60 percent below the area median income and 10 percent of the project’s units will be set aside for families earning 30 percent AMI or less.
Nohona Hale will be built on a 10,450-square-foot vacant lot on Cooke Street, and includes EAH Housing as part of the development team, according to the project’s final environmental assessment prepared by Wilson Okamoto Corp.
The project is expected to be the first new micro-unit development in Hawaii, and is being followed by other projects that will include micro-units including The Howard Hughes Corp.’s Aalii tower in Ward Village in Kakaako.

Nohona Hale is scheduled to start construction later this year or early next year.
