OVERVIEW

Waikiki Gateway "Covered Land" Play: 46,580 SF Buildable Density with Holding Income ($167/BSF) Executive Summary: NY Avenue Resource Corp is pleased to present 1694 Kalakaua Avenue, a high-density development site located at the "Gateway to Waikiki" in Honolulu, HI. This unique offering combines an income-producing retail asset (1948 construction) with massive vertical potential. Through an approved "Joint Development" calculation combining the BMX-3 commercial frontage with the adjacent A-2 parcel, the site unlocks 46,580 SF of buildable density. The property is offered with a "Mostly Approvable" architectural concept for a 135-foot, 10-story mixed-use tower comprising 40 residential units, street-level retail, and a market-leading parking ratio. Priced at $7,800,000, this asset trades at roughly $167 per Buildable Square Foot—well below the $200+ institutional benchmark for entitled land in the Kapiolani corridor. With a current 3.7% Cap Rate from existing tenants, this is a textbook "Covered Land Play" ideal for 1031 Exchange buyers or developers seeking to mitigate carrying costs during the entitlement phase. Investment Highlights massive Density Bonus: Joint development of BMX-3 and A-2 lots allows for 46,580 SF of total floor area (FAR), significantly higher than standard standalone lots. Income-Producing Asset: Currently 100% leased to retail tenants generating ~$288,657 in Net Operating Income (NOI), covering property taxes and carry costs while you permit. Shovel-Ready Concept: Sale includes architectural massing and schematic designs for a high-efficiency tower:40 Residential Units (30 One-Bed / 10 Two-Bed).4,870 SF Ground Floor Commercial.31 Assigned Parking Stalls (Rare 0.77 ratio for urban Honolulu). Arbitrage Opportunity: Current design utilizes only ~48% of the allowable envelope. Significant upside exists to increase density for a hotel-condo or micro-unit project. Prime Location: High-visibility frontage on Kalakaua Avenue (34,000+ VPD), the primary artery connecting the Hawaii Convention Center and Ala Moana Center to Waikiki.
