About 450 people on Saturday entered the owner-occupant “lottery” to buy a condominium at Ae’o in Ward Village.
The 466-unit mixed-use condominium tower will be built at the corner of Queen Street and Kamakee Street, and includes Hawaii’s future flagship Whole Foods Market.
KHON2 got a tour of one of the models.
The development offers studios, one, two and three-bedroom units.
Each will include partial ocean views and prices start in the low $400,000 range.
KHON2 spoke to one woman who was at the lottery for her daughter.
“She would just walk out of the condo, get her groceries go to restaurants, anything like that she would love it,” said Lindy Hashimoto.
Amenities include a lap pool with ocean views, a family area with a pool, a gym and a wellness center with steam and sauna rooms.
Construction is expected to be completed in 2018.
