Typical Tower Floor Plan

The Central Ala Moana will typically have 13 units per floor. On the higher floors some of units combine to make larger units. The typical level consists of:
  • 3 Studios (grey),
  • 4 One-bedrooms (orange),
  • 5 Two-bedrooms (blue), and
  • 1 Three-bedroom (green).
​There will also be 5 high speed elevators to service the building. On the higher floors the Makai/Ocean facing studios combine with the adjacent unit to become a larger unit. All units will come with at least 1 parking stall. The studios, 1-bedrooms, and 2-bedrooms will have 1 parking stall. Two bedroom units will have the option to purchase a 2nd parking stall (price TBD). 3-bedroom units will come with 2 parking stalls. The Central Ala Moana will have 10 stories of parking and will have approximately 26 guest stalls along with 9 planned commercial retail units on the ground floor of the building. 

Mountain and Ocean Views

The Central Ala Moana will have a mix of Mountain and Ocean view units. The Ocean side will definitely be the more costly of the two sides but will boast incredible Ocean Views overlooking Magic Island, Ala Wai Boat Harbor, and Ala Moana Beach. This side will most likely be the more popular of the two because the only thing in front is Park Lane and Ala Moana Shopping Center and there is less of a chance that something will be built in front of you. 

Amenities

The Central Ala Moana will be a higher grade building compared to their first project Kapiolani Residence. The Central Ala Moana will have the following amenities: 
  • Pool and Jacuzzi
  • Outdoor Shower
  • Children's pool
  • BBQ Pits
  • Grilling Stations
  • Cabanas
  • Children Play area
  • Multi-purpose room
  • Fitness Area
  • Dog Play Area
  • Residence Bicycle Storage
  • Electric Vehicle Charging Stalls Available

Affordable Housing Income Limits

There will be 310 affordable housing units in The Central Ala Moana. This building will be a little different from it's predecessor Kapiolani Residence. This time around buyers will be allowed to make up to 140% of the 2018 area median income (Kapiolani Residence was up to 120%). Per HHFDC the area median income will be classified by family size and you may use the table below see which bracket you fall under. The important thing to remember is that you NEED to be within the 80% to 140% AMI range.

1. Sign up to receive updates on when the Application Packet will be released
2. Fill out the Application Packet and meet with a Lender for pre-qualification
3. Return the completed packet to the Sales Center
4. HHFDC First Review – Review of applications to determine eligibility
5. Public Drawing
6. HHFDC Second Review – Assignment of Property Selection Number (PSN)
7. Unit Selection & Contract Signing

Affordable Housing is for buyers earning 140% and below of the Area Median Income.

The HHFDC will determine eligibility based on the information you provide in your Application Packet, including the following:
1. US Citizen or permanent resident alien
2. At least 18 years of age
3. Resident of the State of Hawaii who currently resides in the State of Hawaii
4. Shall physically reside in the unit purchased
5. Does not own a majority interest (more than 50%) in a fee simple or leasehold property anywhere in the world
6. Has sufficient gross income to qualify for the loan to finance the purchase

The buyer will need to provide $500 at contract signing and the remainder of 5% minus the $500 after 30 days.

The owner is required to be an owner occupant for 10 years. The buyback program gives the HHFDC the first option to purchase the property in the event of a sale or transfer during the first 10 years of ownership. Owner occupancy is a requirement during this period. The restriction automatically terminates at the end of 10 years from the recording date.

SAE is Shared Appreciation Equity. This is the sharing of the property’s net appreciation with the HHFDC in exchange for the buyer’s opportunity to purchase at below market prices. The SAE percentage is calculated prior to closing and once determined, does not change.

The SAE must be paid when the property is sold, transferred or rented. Owners also have the option of paying it off at any timeafter closing.

The HHFDC will require documentation to support the buyer’s application. Some examples are: current year tax returns, W-2, 2 months of paystubs, and a letter of pre-qualification from a Lender. Lenders will have different requirements to determine loan pre-qualification.

The formula is: Original Fair Market Value (determined by appraisal prior to closing), minus Original Purchase Price, divided by Original Fair Market Value, and rounded to the nearest one percent.

Yes, you may select from any available unit that you are eligible (determined by HHFDC) and qualified (as determined by Lender)to purchase.
