JLL Capital Markets facilitates sale of prime student housing asset in Honolulu amidst high demand and limited supply
CHICAGO, Oct. 3, 2024 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged the sale of Hale Mahana, a rare fee-simple student housing property serving the flagship University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu, Hawaii.
JLL worked on behalf of the seller, Greystar, to procure the buyer, a joint venture between Timberline Real Estate Ventures and an Ares Management Real Estate fund.
Conveniently located at 2615 S King St., Hale Mahana is just a short 0.18-mile walk from the University of Hawaii campus. The University of Hawaii has seen impressive enrollment growth, with a 6% increase since 2020, largely driven by their record-breaking first-year class of over 3,000 students, surpassing their previous record by 5.7%. As a result, Hale Mahana is proud to serve a student population of over 19,000 at the University of Hawaii.
Built in 2018, Hale Mahana is a 191-unit, 589-bed student housing property, offering best-in-class amenities like study rooms, a computer lab, covered parking, a fitness center, a rooftop deck with grilling stations and ground level retail including Raising Cane’s, Jersey Mike’s and many others. The complex offers one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units. Hale Mahana stands out as one of the few purpose-built student housing properties available to cater to the increasing demand at the University of Hawaii. All units are fully furnished, featuring equipped kitchens, stainless steel appliances, spacious rooms and updated bathrooms.
