New Condos in Kahala
Kahala
It’s been a while since there were new projects in the exclusive Kahala area, but developers Alexander & Baldwin recently announced the creation of new luxury condos in Kahala Beach. Sales began May 31st for these six exclusive residences, each containing two stories and located on a beachfront estate on prestigious Kahala Avenue. The design team for these high-end estates includes Albert C. Kobayashi Inc., Coastal Construction Inc., Benjamin Woo Architects and Philpotts Interiors.
Kahala by the Sea
Prices for Kahala by the Sea, as the project is known, start at $8.9 million. Kahala by the Sea consists of three two-story units, each with a private 1,000 square foot lanai and a private yard averaging 2,000 square feet. Each yard is tropically landscaped and individually gated. The units boast either three or four bedroom and 4.5 baths, and range in size from 3,442 to 3,647 square feet. Homes also feature an attached two-car garage with direct access to Kahala Avenue. Residents have access to a private pool along with a private beach entrance. Relax with family and friends outdoors in the built-in gas barbeque area with Cambrian black granite countertops and marine-grade teak wood cabinetry. The condos all sport high-end finishes and the finest appliances, as buyers should expect with homes of such style and distinction.
The Interior
As impressive as Kahala by the Sea is on the outside, the interiors are even more spectacular. Each home contains 10 foot volume ceilings, black puka lava stone in the entries and brushed and raked Portuguese limestone floors in the kitchen, living areas and bathrooms. The master suite and upstairs hallways feature white-washed French oak engineered-wood floors. The window systems are floor to ceiling with dual panes, and there is a 24-hour monitored security system. Enjoy the six-featured spa-like master bath along with the stone-lined wet room design with shower and freestanding tub. Connoisseurs will appreciate the 98-bottle wine storage area in the kitchen.
Other Amenities
Kahala by the Sea residents have access to a private fitness center and spa services at the nearby Kahala Hotel & Resort, and can take advantage of its superb dining opportunities. Also nearby is the Waialae Country Club, Oahu’s most exclusive private golf course.
A Kahala Avenue Resurgence
Kahala has always been an iconic neighborhood, its name synonymous with luxury and elegance. Alexander & Baldwin bought the property on which Kahala by the Sea will arise from Japanese billionaire Genshiro Kawamoto, who bought up 28 homes along the avenue since the turn of the millennium. Some of Kawamoto’s properties were not cared for as well as they should have been, so his homes did not look as luxurious and impressive as they were intended. Although Kahala Avenue remains one of the top addresses on Oahu, the announcement of the Kahala by the Sea project means the area should experience a true revitalization and define Hawaiian high-end properties for this century.
