And we are very proud of the affordable housing plan we have created. It is an innovative solution for deeply needed affordable units in Honolulu.”

The 1500 Kapiolani project will include two mixed-use towers, one at 400 feet and the other at 350 feet, connected by an iconic bridge that spans from the 35th floor of the taller tower to the rooftop of the second.
