Waiea Tower Hawaii

From the top of the mountains, all the way out into the ocean, every aspect of life in the Kingdom of Hawaii aims to be synergistic and sustainable, including its residential communities. With the goal of becoming the largest LEED for Neighbourhood Development Platinum (LEED-NP) certified community in the country, building owner Howard Hughes Corporation hired James K.M. Cheng in collaboration with Rob Iopa and WCIT Architecture to design Waiea Tower, the flagship building of what is to be Honolulu’s most distinguished neighbourhood, Ward Village.

The 60-acre coastal master planned community allows for approximately 863,998m² of mixed use development and offers numerous outdoor gathering spaces that embraces Hawaiian culture, the perfect mix of urban and eco-friendly living. To complete the construction of the 36-story tower, BMK Construction was enlisted to handle the tile and flooring installations for all of Waiea’s units and public spaces including the pool deck, level one lobby, porte cochere and four levels of penthouses.

To meet the goal of acquiring LEED certification, all LATICRETE products chosen for the construction of Waiea Tower were those that have received multiple certifications and declarations including Health Product Declarations (HPD), Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and UL GREENGUARD Gold Certifications for low chemical emissions. Products used include HYDRO BAN®, 3701 Fortified Mortar Bed, and PERMACOLOR® Grout. Read the full Project Spotlight here.
