Koolani, located at 1177 Queen Street, is a 48-story mixed-use condominium. The big, sleek lobby with dark wood and stone accents, a concierge front desk, a waterfall background, spacious waiting rooms, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and top-of-the-line amenities give it a luxury resort feel.
This condominium, built in 2006, has 370 units for tenants and 18,000 square feet of commercial space, which is used by Island Club and Spa, a private membership luxury exercise club and spa. Crescent Heights in Miami, Florida – the firm responsible for the refurbishment of the Ala Moana Hotel and several other luxurious condominiums in the United States – collaborated with JH2 Architects and Hawaiian Dredging Construction Company, Inc. to create Koolani.
Because of the condo’s location in Kakaako, you can stroll to a variety of retail, entertainment, and restaurant choices, as well as the benefit of living in a rapidly growing metropolitan setting.
You can stroll to yoga studios, fine dining restaurants, movie theaters, boutiques, and other attractions in the Kakaako area. Kolowalu Park is also right in front of the condominium, providing a great place for keiki and families to visit. On the ground floor, there is also a Biki station.
At this location, you are a ten-minute drive to Ala Moana Shopping Center, America’s biggest open-air shopping centre. Will you want to spend some time outside? At nearby Ala Moana Beach Park, you can swim, paddleboard, surf, or kayak. Restaurants such as MW Restaurant, Yamaji, Sushi ii, Nobu Honolulu, Piggy Smalls, and several more are all within walking distance or a short five-minute drive away.
Koolani has 370 resident apartments, with most floors consisting of either two or three bedrooms. There are no one-bedroom apartments or studios. Each floor has nine units, six of which are two bedrooms and three of which are three bedrooms, as well as four elevators. Units range in size from 1,151 to 1,162 square feet for two bedrooms and from 1,374 to 1,392 square feet for three bedrooms.
Among the unit’s features are:
Tennis courts, a pool, a hot tub, a putting green, and a hotel suite are all available at Koolani. Residents have discounted admission to the Island Club and Spa, which has exercise courses, sauna, steam room, locker room, massage facilities, and other amenities.
There are also barbecue pavilions, a recreation floor with a billiards area, a cinema, a big party room with a caterer’s kitchen, and a lounge room. There is also a full briefing area and a small space with independent workstations for corporate meetings. There is also 24-hour monitoring with video control and an electronic FOB for the entry and elevators.
