Proposed Mid-Rise Building in Kakaako Will Feature Rentals for Moderate Income

Kamehameha Schools has announced a proposal with developer Gerding Edlen to create a mid-rise rental building in Kakaako for those Hawaii residents who have moderate income.  By state definition, moderate income would mean households earning up to $67,000 for a single person and up to $96,000 for a family of four.  The plan would be to have a total of 209 units in the six-story building in size configurations ranging from studios to two-bedrooms.  Rents could be as much as $1,677 per month for a studio, $1,797 per month for a one-bedroom, and $2,157 per month for a two-bedroom.

The mid-rise building is being called Keauhou Lane, and will be part of a larger project called Keauhou Place, which will also feature a 40-story condominium tower being developed by Stanford Carr.  Keauhou Place will sell a total of 450 Fee Simple units for families earning up to 140 percent of the median income, or $94,000 for a single person and $134,000 for a family of four.  Prices for these units will start in the high $300,000s.

Keauhou Lane will have to go through public hearings before being officially approved. Once approved, construction should begin in the beginning of 2015 and be completed by sometime in 2016.
