HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – A major new affordable housing project has officially opened in Aiea. The Naulu Apartments, located next to Halawa View and across from Pearl Harbor, offers 302 brand-new units for low-income families earning between 30% and 60% of the area median income.

Designed by AHL and built by Nordic PCL, the 25-story tower includes studios to four-bedroom apartments featuring modern finishes, air conditioning, and ADA-accessible features. Residents also have access to a fitness center, sky lounge, study areas for keiki, and outdoor BBQ spaces.

The $168 million project is the largest Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) development in Hawaii in the last 15 years, made possible through public-private partnerships with HHFDC, Hunt Capital Partners, the City and County of Honolulu, and Bank of Hawaii.

“Our goal was to build more than housing — we wanted to create a community,” said Dave Michael, Executive Director of Pacific Development Group. “This will be a catalyst for future development in the Halawa TOD area.”

Artist Kamea Hadar painted the tallest mural in the state on the building — an ‘iwa bird soaring across the tower. He also brought in several other local artists to contribute to the building’s visual identity.

Leasing is now open. For more information, visit nauluhawaii.com.
