HONOLULU—The Howard Hughes Corporation has reached another milestone in the transformation of Ward Village. The company has received approval from the Hawai'i Community Development Authority for Ward Village Gateway, the first residential and commercial development in Phase Two of the Ward Village Master Plan, a 60-acre master planned community located in the Kaka'ako district of Honolulu. Ward Village Gateway will include a public park and two mixed-use towers with approximately 236 total residences and 20,000 square feet of retail.

“Ward Village Gateway further cements our vision to create a world-recognized vertical master planned community offering an unrivaled urban lifestyle in the heart of Honolulu,” said David Weinreb, CEO of The Howard Hughes Corporation. “Along with the additional residences, the introduction of the park will continue to transform Ward Village into an integrated, sustainable neighborhood that provides a gathering place for all of Honolulu.”

Ward Village is located in Honolulu between the city's downtown and Waikiki. The coastal community is being meticulously curated into a vibrant neighborhood with plans for over 4,000 exceptional high-rise residences and more than one million square feet of retail and commercial space surrounded by outdoor public gathering places and pedestrian-friendly streets. The neighborhood will be anchored by the Village Green, a public park that will also serve as a multi-purpose gathering space in Honolulu where residents and visitors will convene, socialize and enjoy an array of community events.
