The Vanguard Lofts are featured in September 2008 issue of Modern Luxury. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

Honolulu’s new Vanguard Lofts on Kapiolani Boulevard are the answer to city living with the amenities of a suburban condo lifestyle—and none of the bustle of Waikiki. Thirty-two 1, 2 and 3-bedroom loft apartments will span six floors, at an average of 1,500 square feet each… Another perk at Vanguard: All the kitchens are a gourmet’s dream. Top-of-the-line Thermador gas appliances run throughout, deep-set counters (“to store all table-top appliances,” Deuchar added) and a public “Sky Deck” with swimming pool, BBQ area, Jacuzzi tub, cabana and bar are available to all owners.

Construction is moving along smoothly. The 4th Floor Deck of the East End has been poured and we’re on schedule to top off the East End in early January 2009.

Loft living has been alive and well in metropolitan cities on the Mainland for years. But we might not have experienced the true essence of loft living in Honolulu—until now. A new lifestyle community is taking shape downtown. It’s an adaptive reuse project that will both convert—and add on to—a portion of the old National Cash Register (NCR) office building. When it is finished, the project will consist of 32 living units. Called the Vanguard Lofts, its creators believe it will offer something exciting and new for Honolulu.

The Vanguard Lofts were recently featured in Pacific Business News. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

“The loft apartments range from 835 square feet to 2,058 square feet, have one, two or three bedrooms and are priced from $755,000 to $2.1 million. There are 26 different floor plans among the 32 units, and 17 units have either walk-out decks or walk-up roof-top decks, which developer Chris Deuchar, president of U.S. Pacific Development LLC, likens to an “urban yard.” A skydeck features a tension-edge pool, grill area and a bar.

Interiors were designed by John Staub from Philpotts & Associates and feature exposed concrete and ceiling heights between nine and 11 feet. Heyer & Associates is handling the sales for the project.”

The Vanguard Lofts were recently featured in a few local publications, including Hawaii Business Magazine, Modern Luxury Hawaii, and The Honolulu Advertiser.

Foundations are poured, units are being framed, and the East and West Ends are beginning to rise…
