A new condominium project on Kapiolani Boulevard, named Kuilei Place, has had its permit package approved by the Honolulu City Council. The mixed-use project will be on a 3-acre parcel on Kapiolani Boulevard, near Date Street.

As housing demand remains strong in Honolulu, the experts expect additional condominium projects to be considered for expedited approval in 2023.
