Pacrep LLC plans to build a 34-story, 459-unit condominium-hotel tower called 2121 Kuhio Tower in Waikiki. At 350 feet tall, it would be the first new hotel built in Waikiki in over 3 years. The $275 million project aims to meet growing demand from record numbers of tourists. Some local residents have expressed concerns that the tower would block ocean views from nearby condo buildings. The developer believes the tower's design maximizes public views and adds attractive to the Waikiki skyline. The project will create jobs and tax revenue for Hawaii if approved.
