Which to Choose?

If you have been keeping up with our page, you may have heard that there's another new project called Ohana Hale that is also new construction and features Affordable Housing.

Now how do you choose which one is the right fit for you? Do I choose The Central Ala Moana or do I choose Ohana Hale? ​

Lets Compare the both buildings and their amenities

The Central Ala Moana
  • 43 Story building with 512 Units (310 Affordable 202 Market)
  • Residential floors 2-43 
  • All affordable units have 1 parking (possibility for 2 beds to buy additional parking but may be offered to market units first)
  • Estimated Maintenance Fee: $0.62 a sq. ft.
  • Pool, Jacuzzi, and Children's pool with outdoor shower
  • BBQ Pits / Grilling Stations / Cabanas
  • Children Play area / Multi-purpose room / Fitness Area
  • Residence Bicycle Storage
  • Secured Entrance
  • Electric Vehicle Charging Stalls Available
  • Pet Friendly and Dog Play Area
  • Affordable Units Available: 
    • Studios
    • 1 Beds
    • 2 Beds
    • 3 Beds
Ohana Hale
  • 21 Story building with 180 units (108 Affordable 72 Market)
  • Residential floos 9-21 (lower floors parking)
  • All affordable units have 1 parking
  • Estimated Maintenance Fee: $0.50 a sq. ft.
  • Roof Deck
  • Community Garden
  • Trash Room on Each Floor
  • Secured Bike Storage
  • Secured Entrance
  • Recreational Area
  • Pet Friendly up to 35 pounds
  • Affordable Units Available: 
    • Studios
    • 1 Beds
Ohana Hale will have Studio and 1 bed Affordable Units. Whereas The Central Ala Moana will have Studio, 1, 2, and 3 bed Affordables.

Location | Ala Moana or Mo'ili'ili

The next biggest difference is the Location. Both are centrally located in Metro Oahu and are just a short distance from one another. One thing to keep in mind is the neighborhoods are different. The Central will be in Ala Moana whereas Ohana Hale will be in the Mo'ili'ili/McCully Area

The Central Ala Moana

Ohana Hale

Here is our personal opinion of the two. 
When comparing the two buildings you are essentially comparing apples and oranges. Both buildings will be different not only in physical location, but the level of amenities, and all the way down to the maintenance fees of the units. The obvious similarities are that they will both feature affordable housings (both with the 10 year owner occupant hold period). It just depends on what you are looking for and which neighborhood you prefer. If you are looking for a Studio or 1 bedroom you may want to try for both as you can cross shop. But if you are hoping to get a 2 bedroom or 3 bedroom then you would have to try your luck at The Central. Both are lotteries and I am pretty sure that The Central Ala Moana will definitely have more applicants.

Inside look at Samkoo's first building - Kapiolani Residence

Artist Rendering of Kapiolani Residence

The Central Ala Moana's predecessor 

When it comes to new construction, unfortunately buyers have to rely on the developer's interior rendering pictures for an idea of what the inside would look like. Some buyer's often times get worried as they feel they don't really quite know what they are buying into. 

But I'm pleased to say that Kapiolani Residence (the first building built by SamKoo, who is also developing The Central Ala Moana) has lived up to the renderings and has done an amazing job as the interiors look just like the renderings, if not better!

This month throughout October, we have had Final Walk Through Inspections for the buyers of Kapiolani Residence and below is a short video showing the interior of one of the units. They are still building the ground floor and doing interior painting and other work within the building. 

Expected completion and move in date is mid December 2018
