In 1963, Queen Emma Gardens was designed by famous Japanese architect Minou Yamasaki (designer of World Trade Center, 1973, NYC) It is an oasis of outdoor living on a large eight acre parcel of land in the midst of busy downtown Honolulu. The project consists of three residential buildings, the King, Queen and Prince Towers. The King and Queen have larger units than the Prince. All Buildings are connected to the gardens by tall and breezy open air lobbies. The gardens are well manicured and feature many mature Monkey Pod, Plumeria and Bamboo trees. Common Areas for Residents The tall open air lobby of the King tower houses the management and security office. Each building has security guards and a fob is required to enter the elevators. Outdoor amenities include two swimming pools, a playground, and a jogging path. The highlights of the gardens are two Japanese tea houses on koi ponds shaded by mature trees. The teahouses are a common amenity and can be reserved by owners for gatherings. There is plenty of parking for guests outside with least 36 guest stalls plus loading zones near the entrances. The parking structure is underground, covered by the landscaped gardens. Queen Emma Gardens -

The architect designed a few unique features into the condos. The original units have Japanese sliding shoji doors enclosing the kitchens and feature hardwood details throughout. The interiors are shaded from the sun by curved concrete awnings above the windows. Many units have large enough lanais for outdoor dining. There is no central air conditioning being pumped into the condos, but window A/C units are allowed. For those preferring fresh air, the interior hallways and entry doors are vented allowing for the steady trade winds to flow through the units. Residents are allowed two cats or a 35 lb. dog, but there is a wait list for dogs. For extra storage, they have a bike room in the garage and storage lockers available for rent or free with waiting list.
