Ok let me start by addressing things that this previous person made comments on…read more 1. Only idiots with self entitled attitudes would comment on racism because they think everyone is racist towards them and don't see the fact that they themselves are assholes. 2. The pool being disgusting is one of the many reasons why they went through a lot of resident managers because the others weren't pulling their weight. I challenge anyone to look at the pool now. It's absolutely stunning! 3. It's a 60+ year old building so the fact that Frank and the board are taking the time to address issues for repair to bring this old building into the 21st century is remarkable, But of course an owner would appreciate and understand this more than a renter because the value of their property is going up. 4. They have vestibules on each end of the corridors with trash bins that people dump in. Every morning the maintenance guy comes and empties it. That's the equivalent of having a trash chute. The doors closed ensure the smell doesn't go into the units. Overall Sky Tower is an amazing complex with a diverse community. Sure it's not a luxury condo, but it's a step above your average multi dwelling unit. Frank may have his faults but so does everyone else, we're not perfect, and he CARES about the building and the people in it. I wholeheartedly recommend the building to anyone who is interested in buying/renting and its amazing staff to back it up!

If you're needing a secure place to live and park, Capitol Place has both.

The condo is a very family friendly place to raise your children, and also a good place if you don't have kids. The gym with AC is really nice, and the equipment is kept clean. The kids play area is well maintained and is a safe spot for your keiki to run around. There is also an adjacent dog relief area that is serviced regularly to keep it clean.

We lived here a few years ago. We were super excited to live in such a beautiful complex. But like…read moreothers have said, we didn't notice the downside until a few months in. You do get an amazing view, but you can't open any windows; so yes, you're stuck with the AC being on 24/7. ALSO, if the power goes out, you have no other source of ventilation/cooling. As others have said, the walls are stupidly thin. We were in a unit about a nightclub/bar, I think it was called Scarlet's? Anyways, despite being over 20 floors up, we could HEAR the music, people yelling, etc. Not just that, the unit next to me, had a domestic dispute, so I heard them arguing and then one of them kicking the front door in. Our unit was also missing some vanity fixtures, and despite being there for a year, we never received them. The fire alarms kept going off, so it was impossible to tell if it was a real emergency situation or just mechanical/electrical error. The parking is also small and expensive for you (as the tenant). It's also expensive for visitors as there is no visitor parking, so my family/friends wouldn't visit often despite us being in a prime, beautiful location. We also had an issue with management and an incident that happened on property. A tenant had gotten into a confrontation with my husband in the elevator, then proceeded to vandalize his car and threaten us. PS - my child was with my husband and in the car as this person punched and hit my husband's car with a parking cone. We even had police escort us home as we were afraid that this individual would actually come after our family. Anyways, management did little to ease our worries. The most we got was that the tenant had moved out of the building, we heard he moved to the 9th island.

From the street, it's hard to get a feel for this ultra exclusive new complex. Drive up the long driveway and you honestly feel like you're at a high end outer-island resort. The lobby is two stories high, and completely lined in teak. Park Lane stretches over an amazing 7.3 acres! The most land of any condo complex on Oahu (Hokua another upper end condo nearby covers 4 acres). The complex is 8 stories high, conforming to the city height limit of 100 feet. The goal of the developers was to create a single family home feel for it's discerning clients. Many of the units have their own two car garages and pools. Amazing 122 floor plans and 23 elevators to use for the 217 units. The unit I was able to see was about 2500 sq.feet with 10 foot high ceilings and on the interior of the complex--not right on Ala Moana Boulevard. Gorgeous, unobstructed blue ocean views and very, very quiet. The lanai was huge--big enough for a bbq, fridge, seating sofa area and table and chairs. The inside was open and spacious. The model unit was furnished by a firm from San Francisco--clean lines, white and natural. So many, many luxurious appointments within and outside your unit. From the lap pool, to beautifully appointed meeting rooms, to the bar/wine fridge room for all owners, to the massage and work out rooms, and fabulous indoor theater. Currently the complex is 93% sold. About half of that to local residents and the rest to overseas buyers predominantly from Japan and other Asian countries. Amazing stone lined hallways, quiet and private. Honolulu has entered a different level of sumptuousness and lavishness with this project. And yet....with the understated elegance and laid back feel that is Hawaii. Who wouldn't want to live here?!

PROS: I really like…read morethe apartment, it is roomy, well laid out - believe it or not, the complex was designed by a young Cezar Pelli. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9sar_Pelli We got a three bedroom with a huge lanai which has been great for having friends over or just working and hanging out. I can live with the area, I work right downtown and it is super convenient. I love the maintenance guys, they are wonderful...big shout out to them they work hard and keep smiling. (Unfortunately I needed maintenance a lot, see cons). It's been a great spot for my dog and he has made many doggie friends. I love the chickens and baby chicks (feel free to move this to cons if that's not you). Most of my neighbors are very nice and I enjoy kids (kids see cons). The community is a mix of families, many I expect on section 8, students, and some professionals (like me). I really liked Jennifer who helped me with the leasing process and the folks that call when maintenance needs to come in are efficient, friendly, and I believe do their best to help. CONS: I had a plumbing issue for the first three or four months, it was disgusting, the tub would back up with gunk and hair and debris coming from the next door apartment. Finally after maintenance came about 25 times I complained loudly to management and they finally got an outside plumber to come in and fix it. Now there are small blips but mostly the plumbing is fine. If you don't like kids (or kid sounds) beware because the culture seems to be to allow kids to be up late, late, late into the night at least in the summer. I have 5 kids next door aged 2-9 and they literally kept me up until 2am many summer nights. To make it worse, kids need sleep and these kids were exhausted ALL THE TIME, so they screamed and cried...a lot. Sleep is a very important thing. Oh and yes, cockroaches! But note they will send an exterminator. I will say that worst experience so far (which may sound a bit silly) is how I have been treated by the leasing team as I decide if I will stay, go, or move to a smaller unit. I guess I had this crazy idea that they would want to keep a decent tenant paying market rate rent. But they REALLY do not seem to care. I went to the office to ask about moving to a smaller unit and was told that although I'd been living here a year and my circumstances hadn't changed, I'd still need to create a completely separate new application for the lower priced unit. Could I transfer some of my $2,575.00 security deposit to a smaller unit? Nope, AND in addition to the new application AND new deposit they also want a $500 deposit to secure a new place that I can't see. If there was any budge or anything done to make it any easier for me to stay here than go somewhere else, I'd probably have done it but there was absolutely NO effort made. But honestly, it wasn't even the policies making it just as difficult to re-rent here as to go elsewhere...but rather the attitude that made it clear to me that I didn't matter to them and that they were perfectly happy to see me go...if even one person in the office had said "we'd love to keep you" it would have made a difference.
