The Neighborhood
Kalae will be located across the street from its upcoming sibling condominium The Park at Ward Village as well as Victoria Ward Park. Just down Auahi Street is the Ward Entertainment Center, which hosts a popular Consolidated Theatres Ward location perfect for catching the latest box office entries. This center is also home to various restaurants and chains, including Buca di Beppo and Dave & Buster's. A bit further down on Auahi Street is the Ward Centre Shopping Mall, which features various restaurants and shops, such as Kamitoku Ramen, Genki Sushi, Logos Bookstore, Taqueria El Gallo Rosa, and Diamond Head Chocolate Company. For children, there's also Kids City Adventure, which occupies what used to be Bed Bath & Beyond. More shopping can be found across Auahi Street at the Ward Village Shopping Mall, which hosts stores such as Nordstrom Rack, T.J. Maxx, La Muse, and Salvage Public.
For grocery and dining needs, Kalae residents will be nearby the largest Whole Foods Market in the state. This multi-level store is located just an 8-minute walk (or a 2-minute drive) away directly underneath Kalae's sibling building Ae'o- This means that residents will have high-speed access to a store whenever necessary. This Whole Foods Market even features restaurants, no-contact food delivery, and curbside pickup for grocery orders.
Some of the neighborhood's most popular amenities will also be within a short walking or driving distance of Kalae, with Kewalo Harbor and Ala Moana Beach Park being just across Ala Moana Boulevard. In fact, the upcoming Ala Moana Pedestrian Bridge will connect Kalae directly to Kewalo Harbor and the Ala Moana Beach Park area, making traveling to these neighborhood gems incredibly simple. The Ala Moana Center is also close by, sitting only a 4-minute drive or a 15-minute walk from Kalae's development site.
