The first high-rise that exceeded 350ft was the Ala Moana Hotel built in 1970. The next high-rise was the Yacht Harbor Towers followed by the Hawaii Monarch Hotel and the Discovery Bay Center. This was the beginning of the construction boom in the city. At the same time business and finance also boomed. During the 1990s new residentials were built, including One Waterfront Mauka Tower, Imperial Plaza, Nauru Tower, and the Hawaiki Tower.

690 Pohukaina will be the centerpiece of a new live-work-play redevelopment in the Kaka'ako district, becoming Hawaii's tallest building at 650 feet tall. Prior to construction of the project, the city's building height limit will be raised from its current 450 feet to 650 feet. The design of the building was awarded to architecture firm Forest City Hawaii on December 13, 2012.[36] In March 2016 the project was put on hold by state regulators due to significant changes being made to the original approved plan, as well as demands by locals that the plan include an elementary school and affordable housing units. In June 2017, the scope of the development was scaled down considerably to being a pair of high-rise residential buildings (one with market rents and the second with lower income rentals) next to a new 10-story elementary school. Construction is expected to begin by the end of 2019.[37][38][39]
