The Launiu's name was inspired by its unique location, serving as the west gateway entrance to Ward Village. "Launiu" in Hawaiian means coconut leaf, so the development's name gives a nod to coconut groves in Hawaii and what they provide - shade and serenity.

The tower's design is inspired by a mid-century coastal style architecture, using a bespoke material palette, and will feature stunning landscaping and sculptural hardscape elements, ample sidewalks, and public art. The development will also seamlessly integrate with the surrounding area incorporating pedestrian-oriented streetscapes. The lanais extend out in a curvy wave-like fashion giving the building a distinct shape when viewing it from afar.

Launiu's architect is Arquitectonica where interior design will be done by ODADA and the landscaping by VITA Planning & Landscape Architecture. This will be Arquitectonica's first development project in Hawaii.

Where will Launiu Ward Village be located?

Launiu at Ward Village will be developed in Land Block 5 of Pauahi neighborhood, on the ewa corner of Ward Avenue and Ala Moana Boulevard, directly next to the future Ka Lai O Kukuluaeo Park and diagonally across the street from Kalae and Ulana Ward Village. Launiu Ward Village is considered a front row condo development so it'll have clear views of the ocean and Diamond Head, however, it's not directly across the street from the beach - it's more diagonally across from Kewalo Harbor. The other front row condos in Ward Village are Kalae, Waiea, and Victoria Place - all luxury developments.
