Why ʻIlima Is One of Oahu's Most Anticipated Developments
ʻIlima Ward Village will rise 33 stories at 1238 Ala Moana Boulevard, on the block currently occupied by Ward Centre. This is the first tower in Ward Village to completely exclude studio and one-bedroom units, focusing exclusively on larger residences — two-, three-, four-, and five-bedroom homes plus penthouses. With only 148 residences and just 6 units per floor on most levels, ʻIlima offers a level of privacy and exclusivity unprecedented in Ward Village.
The project is a collaboration between Howard Hughes Holdings and Discovery Land Company, known for ultra-luxury resort communities worldwide. The building will include over 80,000 square feet of recreational amenities through the Mohala Club, along with ground-floor retail and dining.
