About Ilima
In the evolving landscape of Honolulu’s high-end real estate, a new residential tower will quickly redefine the skyline. Located in the heart of Ward Village, ʻIlima is the latest development by The Howard Hughes Corporation; and it represents a distinctive departure from conventional condominium living.
Rooted in timeless design and enhanced by a curated lifestyle experience from Discovery Land Company, ʻIlima simply offers more. It offers a rare opportunity to own a modern estate in the sky, complete with unobstructed views of Diamond Head, Ala Moana Beach Park, and the Pacific Ocean. Designed for permanence and prestige, ʻIlima will become the pinnacle concept of living in Kakaʻako.
ʻIlima was conceived as an architectural statement grounded in historical reference and executed with modern precision. Featuring punched windows, covered walkways, and fluid classical proportions, the design pays homage to early 20th-century Hawaiian architecture while embracing a contemporary lifestyle.
Spearheaded by the globally renowned Robert A.M. Stern Architects, the development focuses not on spectacle, but on longevity, elegance, and an enduring sense of place. As Winston Kong of Champalimaud Design notes, “ʻIlima has an understated sense of luxury and a flow that seamlessly integrates with the landscape.”

The Residences
The residences at ʻIlima are designed to feel less like condominium units and more like refined private estates. Generously proportioned layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, and expansive lanais create seamless indoor-outdoor living environments. Each residence is carefully oriented to maximize iconic views — whether of Diamond Head, the ocean, or the Koʻolau mountain range.
Interior finishes prioritize natural materials, passive ventilation, and a strong connection to the island’s environment. The result is a living space that is both elevated and intuitive.
Location
Ward Village has quickly become one of Hawaiʻi’s most dynamic and walkable urban communities. Spanning more than 60 acres, it offers tree-lined streets, green parks, coastal access, and a vibrant mix of dining, shopping, and culture.
ʻIlima is at the heart of it all located just off Ala Moana Boulevard, next to Diamond Head Plaza Park, and a short walk from Kewalo Harbor, Ala Moana Beach, and Victoria Ward Park.
