It is with great pride we announce that Architects Pacific, Inc. has won a NAIOP Hawaii, Kukulu Hale Award for the design of Waialae Hale. This award was presented to API Friday May 12th, at the NAIOP Kukulu Hale Awards, for the category of New Project Award-Commercial/Other 40,000 SF or Less. This four-story apartment complex was designed to fulfill the need for moderately-priced, market rentals in the UH Manoa area. Landlocked in a tight space bordered by King Street and the H-1 freeway, the Hawaii DOT did not allow for a driveway to access the site from King Street. The owner overcame this challenge by constructing a “tunnel” into an existing adjacent property, gaining access to the site and successfully completing the project under budget.
The NAIOP event was held at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel and organizers of the event very fittingly established a Hollywood like theme and atmosphere. Many thanks to NAIOP who organized a grand event for the nominees and winners.
Congratulations to all involved!
