50 Years of MacNaughton: A Legacy of Residential Innovation

MacNaughton's residential journey began in the 1970s with projects such as 1010 Wilder and Ainamalu, reflecting an early belief that thoughtful development could help meet Hawaiʻi's evolving housing needs while enhancing the surrounding community.


Over the decades, that vision continued to evolve alongside Honolulu itself.


As the city emerged as a world-class urban destination, MacNaughton helped redefine residential living through landmark developments including HokuaCapitol PlaceONE Ala Moana, and Park Lane Ala Moana. Each introduced new ideas in architecture, construction, and residential design while responding to the character of its location.


Hokua reimagined condominium living with expansive lanais that embraced Hawaiʻi's indoor-outdoor lifestyle, generous ceiling heights, and resort-inspired amenities. Capitol Place transformed an urban site by integrating new homes with a revitalized commercial property. ONE Ala Moana created a unique residential community connected to Ala Moana Center and overlooking Ala Moana Beach Park. Park Lane Ala Moana reimagined luxury condominium living with low-rise architecture set across seven acres of landscaped open space—earning recognition from The Outdoor Circle for its thoughtful integration of gardens and green space.


While each community reflects a different chapter in Honolulu's growth, they all share the same foundation: thoughtful planning, enduring design, quality construction, and a commitment to creating places that stand the test of time. Together, these developments have expanded Hawaiʻi's housing inventory, generated employment, strengthened the property tax base, and contributed to the ongoing evolution of Honolulu's urban neighborhoods.


Today, MacNaughton's residential portfolio reflects five decades of creating communities distinguished by quality, innovation, and a long-term commitment to Hawaiʻi.
