Project Background Approximately two years ago, Victoria Ward Estate Limited approached the Kobayashi Group and the MacNaughton Group, two of Hawaii's most respected development companies, with the desire to have them assist Ward in delivering residential property to Ward's property. Kobayashi and MacNaughton found the concept compelling and formed a development joint venture by the name of MK Management LLC to study the feasibility of such a project. Now, two years later, MK is prepared to enter the market with its luxury high-rise condominium project named Hokua at 1288 Ala Moana. "Hokua," meaning "crest of the wave" in Hawaiian serves to represent the point where the sea meets the sky and turns to foam as it returns to itself. The use of the address in the name signifies Hokua as Honolulu's premier residential signature address.
