Kahuina is being built by Kaka'ako Block C LLC, a Stanford Carr Development affiliate, on the block bounded by Auahi, Coral, Cooke and Pohukaina streets. Lamakū is the market tower: one- to three-bedroom homes, a lanai in every home, and penthouse three-bedrooms with sky lanais. Māmalu is the HHFDC affordable tower for qualified buyers. Market sales opened October 30, 2025, with the first 30 days reserved for kama'āina.

Help me choose a Kahuina towerHow the HHFDC side works
HHFDC homes come with income limits, owner-occupancy requirements and, typically, a buyback period and shared appreciation equity owed to the state if you sell or refinance within the restriction window. The process: download the info and application packets, get prequalified with a project-approved lender, upload everything to the Kahuina client portal, then email apply@mykahuina.com to time-stamp your application. Approval comes before unit selection.
If you're on the edge of the income limits, talk to a lender before you apply. We work with Hawaii Mortgage Experts and can connect you.
Amenities and street level
The 10th-floor recreation deck has a pool, spa, cabanas, fitness center, small and large club rooms with a kitchen, BBQ areas, outdoor showers and a children's play area. At street level, Kū'aimeki Market adds shops, dining and a landscaped plaza at Auahi and Cooke, with a parking garage and EV charging. Two-story live/work lofts line the base.

Questions I get about Kahuina
How many homes are at Kahuina?
Reporting at the market launch said 737 for-sale homes. Kamehameha Schools' master plan page lists 861 residential units with 60% workforce, which likely counts the whole block. I'd go by the public report for your tower.
When will Kahuina be finished?
Our Kaka'ako's master plan page said groundbreaking was anticipated in 2026. I'll confirm the current construction schedule before you commit, since it drives your closing date.
Can I use an agent on an HHFDC unit?
Often yes, but commission rules on affordable units can differ from market units. I'll confirm with the developer up front so there are no surprises.
