The Plaza at Waikiki was built to be an affordable, attractive, and secure Assisted Living and Memory Care community. The Plaza at Waikiki is situated at the intersection of Kalakaua Avenue and the Ala Wai Canal, on one of the most highly visible sites in the city, and bridges the affluent Waikiki neighborhood with the developing neighborhood on the North side of the canal. The project team voluntarily adopted portions of the Waikiki design guidelines to bridge these two diverse neighborhoods together.
The eight story structure was only the second in the US to use a hybrid precast and Delta beam structural system. The structure is in the heart of Waikiki requiring above grade parking at levels 1 and 2, and the main living and amenity spaces be placed at level 3. The completed project is over 94,000 square feet, with 125 units housing 153 independent, assisted living, and memory care residents. The project opened in the fall of 2015.
