Building Analysis - Cove Waikiki: Building and Site Features
Cove Waikiki was developed by Waikiki Palms LP whose partners have experience with the Vangaurd Lofts in Kakaako and The Windsor condominiums that shares the same city block. Scheduled for a 2014 completion, the three residential buildings in Cove Waikiki replace a series of deteriorating apartment buildings from the 40’s and are a welcome change for the neighborhood.
The Cove Waikiki is a good description of this quiet street surrounded by tall condominium towers. Kaioo drive is a small one way loop lined with public parking. This quiet and shady location is ideal for those looking to live closer to the ground level.
