HONOLULU, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE: HHC) today announced the opening of the Kōʻula® tower at Ward Village®, the sixth residential project to open at the acclaimed 60-acre master planned community located in the heart of Honolulu, just blocks from the Pacific Ocean. Designed by Studio Gang—the renowned architecture firm led by Jeanne Gang, who TIME Magazine named one of the world's most influential people—Kōʻula exemplifies innovative architectural design focused on community connectivity and ecological awareness. Embracing the unique qualities of Hawaiʻi's climate, vegetation, and sense of community that define Ward Village, Kōʻula seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces that allow residents to forge new connections to nature and each other.

Key Points: 
  • The name Kula, which translates to "red sugar cane," is an homage to the native plant whose twisting appearance informed Studio Gang's design for the 41-story tower.
  • "We designed Kula to connect residents with Honolulu's spectacular natural ecology," said Studio Gang Founding Partner Jeanne Gang.
  • We also designed a series of social spaces and strong links to the adjacent park to help residents meet, come together, and feel part of the larger Ward Village community.
  • New residential buildings in development or under construction include Victoria Place, Ulana Ward Village, and The Park Ward Village, which has become the fastest-selling market tower in the history of Ward Village since launching public sales in July 2021.
