Completed in 2016, The Collection is a mixed residential condominium-loft-townhouse complex located in the heart of Kaka'ako. The Collection is comprised of a main 43-story condominium tower, a mid-rise 4-story building known as The Lofts, and an attached low-rise 3-story townhome complex. In total, The Collection brings 397 luxury condominiums, 54 apartments in The Lofts, and 16 townhomes to the area, as well as a large parking structure.
The project was developed by Alexander and Baldwin, a Hawai'i-based real estate company with a mission to develop, acquire, and manage commercial real estate in a way that is fulfilling to Hawai'i locals while also emphasizing sustainability, supporting employees and their work, and giving back to the community.
