Are Honolulu office buildings the next big real estate investment, or a financial misstep? For years, office real estate has been treated as the unwanted sector of commercial property, but recent market data and groundbreaking zoning laws are rapidly changing the landscape in Hawaii.
In this video, Jason Wong, Principal Broker at Island Dragonfly, analyzes the latest CBRE Honolulu Office Report and explores the most critical decision facing commercial property owners today: Should you sell, hold, or reposition?
We dive deep into the newly enacted Hawaii Revised Statutes (§46-4.6 and §46-4.7) and Honolulu Ordinance 25-3, which now permit residential and multifamily uses in select commercially zoned areas. But before you declare your aging office building a luxury apartment complex, you must understand the realities of municipal zoning, building codes, and capital expenditure. An improving market does not automatically guarantee a profitable conversion.
Whether you are a local Oahu investor evaluating adaptive reuse feasibility or an international buyer looking to capitalize on Hawaii’s evolving commercial sector, this breakdown provides the expert, boots-on-the-ground insights you need. Navigating these regulatory shifts requires more than a cocktail napkin idea—it requires a robust financial and structural analysis to determine the strongest story your property can tell the next owner.
Since 2004, I have guided private equity groups and high-net-worth investors some of the most complex real estate transactions. Offering fully bilingual advisory services in English and Chinese, I connect global capital with premier local opportunities.
