The Revitalization of Downtown Honolulu: MODEA - A New Era of Sustainable Urban Living
Downtown Honolulu is undergoing a vibrant transformation. The iconic Davies Pacific Center, once a commercial hub, is being transformed into MODEA at 168 Queen Street, a sustainable urban living community spearheaded by Avalon Group and CEO Christine Camp. This project revitalizes a historical site with a modern, environmentally conscious twist.
Transforming the Davies Pacific Center
The Davies Pacific Center, a cornerstone of downtown Honolulu's business district, is being converted into MODEA, offering 352 fee-simple residences. This project maintains the building's historic charm while adapting it for modern urban living, with units ranging from studios to three-bedroom homes with dens.
