Building Overview: Three Distinct Sections

Kuilei Place at 2599 Kapiolani Blvd is reported to consist of three interconnected building sections, each with distinct floor plan configurations:

1. The Tower (Floors 13-42): The 43-story tower on the Diamond Head side, with 21 units per floor and 7 elevators. All tower units reportedly include private lanais.

2. The Mid-Rise (Floors 2-12): The 12-story mid-rise building facing Kapiolani Blvd, with 15 to 16 units per floor and 1 elevator. Mid-rise units are reported to have no lanais.

3. Ground Floor Lofts: Nine unique work/live loft units along Kapiolani Blvd with distinctive two-level floor plans.

A 13-story parking structure with speed ramp connects the tower and mid-rise buildings, providing over 600 bicycle storage spaces in addition to vehicle parking.

Tower Floor Plans: Floors 13 Through 42

The tower portion of Kuilei Place spans floors 13 through 42 (with floor 43 reserved for penthouse-level amenities). According to developer materials, each tower floor contains 21 residences. All tower units are reported to feature private lanais.

One-Bedroom Tower Units (1BR/1BA):

Residence 19 is reported at 548 total square feet (507 interior + 41 lanai), making it the most compact option. Residence 13 offers approximately 685 square feet (640 interior + 45 lanai), while Residence 07 is similar at 686 square feet (641 interior + 45 lanai).

Two-Bedroom Tower Units (2BR/2BA):

Residences 08, 10, and 12 are each reported at 928 square feet (883 interior + 45 lanai). Residence 11 is a larger two-bedroom at 1,035 square feet (987 interior + 48 lanai). Residences 14, 16, and 18 are more compact at 747 square feet (706 interior + 41 lanai). Residence 04 offers 801 square feet (760 interior + 41 lanai).

Three-Bedroom Tower Units (3BR/2BA):

Three-bedroom units are reported to range from 1,075 to 1,122 square feet of interior space, plus lanai area. These are the largest standard tower units available.

Mid-Rise Floor Plans: Floors 2 Through 12

The mid-rise building faces Kapiolani Blvd and encompasses floors 2 through 12. According to developer materials, each mid-rise floor contains 15 to 16 units. The mid-rise offers one-bedroom and two-bedroom configurations. A key distinction is that mid-rise units are reported to have no lanais, which differentiates them from the tower units above.

The mid-rise is reported to have approximately 5 different floor plan layouts. These units may appeal to buyers who prioritize value and location, as the absence of lanai space is often reflected in pricing. The building is served by 1 elevator.

Ground Floor Loft Units

According to developer materials, the nine ground-floor loft units along Kapiolani Blvd are among the most distinctive residences in the building. These are configured as 1BR+Den/1.5BA units ranging from 1,316 to 1,318 square feet. Key features reported include 14.5-foot ceilings, a flexible two-level floor plan, oversized windows, an enclosed den, a walk-in closet, two entrances, and parking directly behind each unit. The lofts also feature Bosch appliances and a gallery-style kitchen. Market pricing for these units was reported from $1,308,800 to $1,318,800.

Interior Finishes and Features

Regardless of which floor plan buyers choose, Kuilei Place residences are reported to feature a consistent level of quality finishes designed by Philpotts Interiors. According to developer materials, standard features include luxury vinyl plank flooring, Bosch appliances, Kohler fixtures, quartz countertops, porcelain backsplashes and shower tiles, 8.5-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and split AC systems. Buyers are reportedly offered a choice of two finish palettes — a lighter color scheme or a darker option — allowing some personalization of their space.

All tower units (floors 13 through 42) are reported to include private lanais, while mid-rise units do not have lanais. This is an important consideration when comparing units and pricing across the two building sections.
