Purchasing a new construction condo at Kalae Ward Village involves a specific timeline from reservation to move-in. This guide helps buyers understand each phase and prepare for their new Honolulu home in 2026.

What Is the Typical New Construction Timeline?

New construction purchases follow a different timeline than resale properties. From initial reservation to final closing, the process can span months or even years depending on the construction phase when you purchase.

What Happens During the Reservation Phase?

The reservation phase involves several key steps:

- Initial deposit to secure your preferred unit

- Review of purchase agreement and building documents

- Working with your lender for pre-approval

- Selecting upgrades and finishes if available

- Regular construction updates from the developer

What Should You Expect at Closing?

Final closing occurs when the building receives its certificate of occupancy. At this stage, you'll complete final financing, conduct your walkthrough inspection, and receive your keys. Be prepared for potential timeline adjustments based on construction progress.

How Do You Prepare for Move-In Day?

Prepare by coordinating with building management about move-in procedures, scheduling elevator reservations for moving, and arranging utility transfers. Many new buildings have specific move-in windows and requirements.
