The pool deck is a luxurious size for a loft community with just 36 dedicated units, says Realtor-Associate® Mark Berkowitz

Two years ago, Hawaii Home + Remodeling brought you the story of the Vanguard Lofts, the first adaptive-reuse* loft project to take shape in Kakaako.

Since then, the project has grown. In addition to the historic center section, which is a conversion of the old National Cash Register (NCR) Building, more units have been added to the building’s east and west wings. The long-awaited pool deck is complete, floor plans have changed and the total number of units has grown from a projected 32 to 36.

The changes are in response to consumer preference, according to U.S. Pacific Development president Chris Deuchar. “The real estate market, in general, really changed from the time we launched this project,” he says. “Originally, we had a lot of larger two-bedroom units with oversized dining rooms. We had a lot of buyers that wanted a third bedroom. They wanted the ability to have a den or a guest room.”
