3224 Pelekane Drive, Honolulu, HI 96817

This waterfront parcel comes with approved architectural plans and is permitted to build, with no DPP wait noted in the remarks. The plans call for contemporary indoor-outdoor living among existing trees, including expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and a covered lanai. The concept also includes terraced tiers where the stream tumbles, creating waterfall-style water features as depicted in the submitted design. An approved ADU above a four-car carport is included in the plans, which may support options such as a home office, studio, or guest quarters, depending on how the improvements are developed.

Access in the approved design is described as a level approach off Pelekane Drive. The parcel sits next to Nu'uanu Stream and is described as surrounded by tropical vegetation. The remarks also note a planting palette that includes monstera, Java plum, mango, Hawaiian ginger, ‘ulu, ti leaf, heliconia, and more.

For buyers and builders, the key advantage here is that the project is already cleared for permitted construction, with a defined residential layout and a separate ADU configuration reflected in the approved documents. If you’re looking for land to build a contemporary home tailored to the natural setting and stream-side environment, these plans provide a concrete starting point for construction planning.
