EXECUTIVE CENTRE apartments

The Executive Centre is located in downtown Honolulu (1088 Bishop Street), blocks from the HPU downtown campus, where students may walk to campus and access HPU facilities and various retail and dining options in the area. There will be 57 furnished apartments (studio double occupancy, standard double occupancy, and deluxe double occupancy) designated as student residences. While there is a full kitchen, students may opt-in to a Pier Nine meal plan. These apartments are available for continuing students, transfers, and graduate students. For more details, click here. 

KALO TERRACE apartments

2023-2024 AcademIc YEAR Dates

August 23, 2023 -  May 6, 2024

Kalo Terrace Student Suites (1054 Kalo Place) is located in a student friendly neighborhood, with close proximity to shops/stores, banks, post office, library, restaurants and fast food eateries. There will be 11 furnished apartments (four bedrooms, two bathrooms; double occupancy bedrooms) that houses a total of eight students per apartment.

The property location is near bus lines to the downtown campus--about 12 minutes from the Aloha Tower Marketplace. Please note that HPU will not provide a shuttle from either of these resident locations to either the downtown campus buildings or the Hawaii Loa campus; therefore, we would encourage students who plan to have most of their classes at the Hawaii Loa campus to apply for the HLC residential community. Students may catch a city bus a block away from the Kalo Terrace with a direct route to downtown where HPU’s classes are held. TheBus, as it’s known, has routes that cover all of O‘ahu, including a popular Beach Bus, and HPU students receive a free, unlimited pass to ride. 

While there is a kitchen, students may opt-in to a Pier Nine meal plan. These apartments are available for continuing students, transfers, graduate students, and visiting/exchange students. For more details, click here.
