​

Historical Context: Prior to The Watermark, the 4-acre site was considered for the Hawaii Convention Center. Outrigger Hotels purchased nearby condos in anticipation of redevelopment; however, the Convention Center was constructed across the Ala Wai Canal. After Outrigger divested its holdings, the site remained underutilized until acquired by Irongate Ala Wai Investors in 2005. Collaborating with esteemed architects, they envisioned The Watermark, incorporating extensive public spaces and preserving 60% of the land as open space.

​

The Watermark’s architectural design seamlessly integrates tropical woods, natural stone, and bronze elements, creating a tranquil urban sanctuary that pays homage to traditional Hawaiian aesthetics. The development has received multiple accolades, including prestigious IREM awards for Best Building Manager and Best Condo in 2013 and 2014, affirming its status as Waikiki’s premier luxury residence.
