Our Story
175+ Years of History
Born in 1846 on the island of O‘ahu, Victoria Ward wasa champion of Hawai‘i. She embraced Mālama ‘Āina, theHawaiian tradition of restoring and cultivating the land,and envisioned her sprawling 100-acre estate as a natural
sanctuary where the community could celebrate the culture
and the beauty of her beloved homeland.

The lands that were once a peaceful sanctuary between the two
growing population centers of Downtown Honolulu and Waikīkī, have
evolved into Ward Village, a flourishing gathering place that’s forward
thinking and community-focused. By about one block per year, these60 acres of Honolulu’s oceanfront land have transformed into a designforward neighborhood for all.
Our team is dedicated to nurturing the sustainable developmentof this land and honoring its distinct history. Thus, Ward Village targets
responsible development, greener buildings, and resilient infrastructure.
On top of building distinct residential condominiums using the world’s
leading architects—including market homes and reserved housingfor Hawai‘i residents—Ward Village also offers a variety of community
enhancements.
Here, residents, the larger community, and visitors alike can experience
the unique retail offerings, public art displays, and more than 150,000
square feet of green space. Plus, there are over 2,600 public parking stalls
and 116,000 square feet of services. Through residential and commercial
development, we are proudly supporting local job and business creation.

Sustainable Initiatives
Ward Village honors the beauty and value of this ocean-front community, and monitoring
resilience for the future.
Ward Village was one of only two U.S. properties profiled in World Green Building Council’s November 2022 report,“Beyond the Business Case: Why You Can’t Afford Not to Invest in a Sustainable Built Environment.” This global reporthighlighted the community’s LEED ND Platinum certification achieved through thoughtful design.
While honoring the distinct history of the land, Ward Village integrates striking architecture, culture and arts, and publicgreen spaces. Throughout its development, Ward Village has preserved key features of the natural environment,
incorporating them into a smart, resilient design that conserves resources and incorporates climate resiliency.
To further enhance the neighborhood and make a positive impact on the surrounding environment, we’ve added native,
culturally-inspired landscaping within Ward Village’s parks, which help reduce water usage and support the restorationof more native plants. These green spaces and tree canopies were virtually nonexistent during previous periods ofindustrial land use, and now create shade, encourage bike riding and walking, lessen hardscape overheating, and reduce
the overall temperature of the neighborhood.

SUSTAINABLE SPOTLIGHT

Thoughtful Designat Kō‘ula
Ward Village’s sixth residential tower,
Kō‘ula is just one example of how we areprioritizing sustainable development.
Sustainability in design and build was a priority at
Kō‘ula, and since its opening, there have been significant
savings on energy, water consumption, and costs.
Thanks to low-flow plumbing fixtures, water-efficientmechanical equipment, and low-irrigation landscaping,residents and tenants spend 25.2% less on energy
compared to similar buildings, and use 35% less water
than baseline national standards.
The 41-story tower pays tribute to the native plant of
which it’s named after—red sugar cane—whose twisting
appearance informed the design of its exterior. To
create the distinctive, wave-like appearance of thebuilding’s facade, famed architect and Urban Land
Institute Laureate Jeanne Gang and her company Studio
Gang, designed an innovative structural system that
produced column-free interiors with flexible layouts.
This unique design feature allows each residence toangle toward the coastline and capture idyllic views inevery direction. In addition, the design provides supportand self-shading, keeping temperatures comfortablefor each residence’s private lānai and improving
environmental performance.
Kō‘ula has been a great success, and is anotherrepresentation of how Ward Village is moving
forward on the master plan to design a collectionof residences with a walkable urban core and acommunity gathering place.

SUSTAINABLE SPOTLIGHT

Biodiversity
As stewards of this land, we support the health of its
flora and fauna to provide beautiful outdoor spaces
for the enjoyment of our community members and toprotect the environment.

With an unwavering responsibility to the natural world,
our planning and development efforts at Ward Village
include amenities for our residents and the community
at large, including parks, dedicated bike paths, wide
tree-lined sidewalks, and more.

To further demonstrate our commitment to green
space and to the planet, we introduced ‘ohana planting
at Ward Village, a multi-species agroforestry planting
system that is based on the traditional Pacific Island
practice. The result of this practice—grouping street
trees in plant families or ‘ohana groups—provides
visual and experiential interest, increases biodiversity,and showcases a lush, more natural habitat within thecommunity. ‘Ohana planting also assists with stormwater
uptake and provides a comfortable, shaded refuge.
