​History

​Built in 1979, the Island Colony ​is a 44-story condotel located along the Ala Wai Canal, on the mauka (mountain) side of Waikiki. The majority of units are fee simple, but a handful of leasehold units remain (most with fee available for purchase). ​

Developed by Haseko Hawaii, a Japan-based real estate developer with a long history of projects in Hawaii. ​​Haseko Hawaii completed its first project in Hawaii in 1973, and its portfolio incudes Ka Makana at Hoakalei, ​Ocean Pointe, the Courtyards at Punahou, Liliuokalani Gardens, Kona by the Sea, Pacific Monarch, 444 Nahua, ​in addition to other projects on the Big Island, Kauai, and Maui.
