Congratulations to the Ulana Ward Village Homeowners — A Community Years in the Making

With the final key pickups completed yesterday, Ulana Ward Village has officially welcomed all of its new homeowners — marking the close of an extraordinary journey and the beginning of a vibrant new chapter in Kakaʻako, one of Honolulu’s most desirable neighborhoods.

Ulana is a truly special project: 100% first-time buyers, many of whom waited years from lottery selection to move-in day. Patience has been rewarded with keys in hand, friends who are neighbors, neighbors becoming friends, and a brand-new community coming to life just in time for the holidays. We can already imagine the gatherings, barbecues, and celebrations ahead — especially in Ulana’s beautifully designed indoor-outdoor event spaces.

At ONE Pacific Realty, we are incredibly proud to have played a meaningful role in this project. Our team assisted dozens of buyers at Ulana — not only our personal clients, but also fellow agents and their buyers — by sharing guidance, insights, and exclusive vendor discounts through our trusted partners. Supporting first-time buyers goes beyond a transaction; it’s about education, access, and advocacy every step of the way.

While Ulana is now officially sold out, the opportunity doesn’t stop here. Several new affordable and below-market projects are on the horizon in Kakaʻako, each designed to serve first-time buyers who are ready — or want to be ready — when the time comes.

In this market, preparation, education, and experience matters. If you’re not currently working with a real estate professional, we encourage you to connect with ONE Pacific Realty to get on the list early and stay informed. Missing the next opportunity doesn’t have to happen.

To all the new Ulana homeowners — congratulations. We’re honored to have been part of your journey home.
