801 South Street, Honolulu HI
Island Living For The Budget Conscious 

801 South is made up of two towers in the heart of picturesque Honolulu. 

Both buildings are moderately new, and have been constructed within the last four years. Tower A houses 635 units, while tower B has 410. Each building is an impressive 46 stories high.

This project began as a way to meet the basic need for more affordable housing in the Honolulu area, and the developer, Downtown Capital Partners, was able to meet this need by using affordable building materials. 

After the original construction of the towers, the units were all sold to lower income locals who lived and worked in the area. Since then, many have been resold at a profit to out of state vacationers and investors, alike.

While both buildings A and B are strictly no frills, the units are new, well maintained, and in a great location. 

The low fees and great value of 801 South makes it a perfect choice for people who want to experience island life on a budget, or for smart investors looking to scoop up an entry level piece of Kakaako real estate right in the middle of Honolulu. 

801 South Floor Plans 

Floor plans in 801 South range from vary from basic 384 square foot studios to more spacious 816 square foot, 2 bedroom units. 

Each condo includes modern, quiet split air conditioners, in-unit washer and dryers, awning style bedroom windows, energy efficient fixtures and appliances, granite kitchen counter tops, marble in the bathrooms, and fresh white cabinetry throughout. 

Concrete walls are strategically placed to help reduce noise from traffic and neighbors, and the lanais on each unit, complete with glass railings, are an especially nice feature. 

801 has a secure parking structure as well as surfboard and bicycle storage.  

801 South Amenities

In order to keep maintenance fees low, 801 South has very few on-site amenities. 

• A large recreation room with a kitchen, TV, and bathrooms are available in each tower to reserve for parties and gatherings.
• Well-lit resident walkways on landscaped grounds make for safe and pleasant evenings walks if you have a dog, or just need some fresh island air.
• The parking garage has ample room for both residents and guests, and entry is only available with electronic key fobs.
• An on-site security and management team is always available for whatever needs or concerns may arise. 

In my opinion, 801 South’s most valuable amenity is its location. For those who are employed downtown, commuting to work from towers A or B is a breeze.
