Price per square foot is a calculation used to determine the value of a square ft. in a real estate property. This method is commonly used by real estate professionals and investors to compare the value of different condominium buildings within a neighborhood, especially for new development. 

We have compiled a list of the average price per square ft. for popular condominiums located within Ala Moana-Kakaako from most expensive to least. See where your desired condominium stacks up:

(MLS data from 7/16/18)

(These figures were based on sold prices within the last 6 months)

We can see that the top of the list is mostly comprised of very recently built luxury buildings, with the exception of Hokua, which was built in the mid 2000's. Ko'olani was suprising in value as it sits in a prime location in Ward Village - this could be due to upcoming development that may block its ocean views. 

Disclaimer: price per square foot is a good method for looking at trends within a neighborhood but not necessarily on judging the value of a piece of real estate. Often times, especially in luxury buildings, higher floor levels command a large premium compared to the lower floors and can skew an average up sharply.
