All appliances in the unit were initially Samsung appliances and the only difference was that the market units have a 4 door refrigerator whereas the affordable housing units had a traditional 2 door refrigerator.

Kapiolani Residence - Views

Kapiolani Residence has 3 different view planes, Mauka/Mountain Facing, East/Diamond Head Facing, and Makai/Ocean Facing. Each side has their pros and cons but the preferred side would most likely be the Makai/Ocean facing view due to the fact that you can see the ocean once you pass the Ala Moana Shopping Center and on upper floors you can even see Diamond Head Head. The mountain facing side is a great alternative as its the "cooler" side and if you are on the upper half of the building you will pass the old Pan Am building and get great mountain views. Diamond Head is the least popular side which faces the market 3-bedrooms and the 2-bedroom A floor plan. The reason this is the less popular of the 3 options is the fact that you will lose part of your view due to new high rise condominiums coming up on the Diamond Head side of the building. One will be the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the other has yet to be finalized.
