Modea will be a contemporary mixed-use community, carved out of the former Davies Pacific Center office tower. Slated for completion in 2025, this Adaptive Reuse project by Avalon Group brings an invigorating urban oasis vibe to Honolulu’s urban core. Nestled in the heart of downtown Honolulu, helping to revialize the downtown Honolulu scene.

  • Completion in 2025
  • Studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom layouts (Only one 3 Bedroom unit)

Rising 22 stories above the corner of Merchant and Bishop Streets, the reimagined Davies Pacific Center balances a respect for the building’s nearly 50-year history with an infusion of modern tropical design. Award-winning local firm Lowney Architecture leads the building’s transformation, crafting an airy, plant-filled interior that spills out onto the surrounding streets. Expanded green spaces along Merchant and Bishop Streets create an urban refuge in the middle of the city.

At the heart of Modea is its residential component – 352 thoughtfully-designed condominiums ranging from studios to 2-bedrooms. Featuring 10′ 4″ ceilings in the living spaces and 8′ 6″ in the bedrooms, with 26 units per floor. Floor-to-ceiling windows capitalize on natural light while frameless shower enclosures and spa-inspired baths add a touch of luxury. The building’s existing office tenants will remain on several floors, while the second level becomes a resident-exclusive amenity deck.

This downtown community is designed for those who want to live, work and play in an urban setting, with amenities like a fitness center, club room, co-working space, and entertaining areas. Pet owners will appreciate the building’s dog run and outdoor pet area. Modea expands attainable housing options for downtown Honolulu. Its central location places residents steps from Chinatown’s eclectic cuisine, the arts and culture of Kakaako, and the beaches of Waikiki.

Modea’s seamless blend of modern tropical design, community-focused amenities, and downtown location creates an enticing new option for urban island living. As Honolulu continues its evolution, this gracefully reimagined tower leads the way in delivering liveable luxury to the city center.

Known fondly as O`ahu’s “second city”, Kapōlei is a growing urban hub nestled along the west side of the island. In the early evening, Kapōlei is the last place on the island to see the sun before it dips into the ocean, welcoming the night. The name Kapōlei, meaning beloved Kapō, is a reference to the Hawaiian goddess, Kapō-`ula-kina`u. Kapō in Hawaiian means “the darkness”, an important, undeniable force in the natural world.
