PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Nohona Hale Affordable Rental Micro-Housing project was created in response to HCDA’s request for proposal to develop an affordable low-to moderate-income “micro unit” housing project. Encompassing 111 affordable rental micro-units (approximately 300 square-feet each), Nohona Hale is a 16-story tower set upon a two level podium which houses the lobby, living room, community spaces and management offices. The energy efficient micro-units are marketed to low-income households earning 60% and below of the AMI, and 10% of the project’s units will be set aside to specifically serve families earning 30% AMI or less.
