The planned Atlantis resort at Ko Olina Resort &Marina will have roughly 800 hotel rooms and 524 residences, according to an announcement Thursday that adds a few details about the previously publicized project. An affiliate of developer China Oceanwide Holdings Ltd. said the project on 26 acres of beachfront land also will have an aquarium, a water park, restaurants, bars, retail boutiques, a beach club, a spa, a fitness center and event space. China Oceanwide, a Chinese company that bought the development site in September for $280 million, announced the new details in partnership with Kerzner International Holdings Ltd. Kerzner will manage the property under its Atlantis brand. The two companies did not provide any projected development cost or timetable. However, Jeff Stone, Ko Olina’s master developer, who orchestrated the land sale, previously said Atlantis Ko Olina is a roughly $1.5 billion project that could start construction in mid-2017 and be finished two years later. Steven Wang, senior vice president of China Oceanwide’s new local subsidiary, said in a statement that the project will bolster Hawaii’s already strong tourism market, increase visitor spending and add much-needed hotel rooms to the market.

The report compared resort market closings from condominiums and single-family homes on all islands with closings at Ko Olina from the fourth quarter of 2015 to the third quarter this year, examining two price ranges: more than $1 million and more than $500,000.

For both criteria, Ko Olina’s price change exceeded that of the total market.

“There has been reticence against development in Hawaii since the ’80s, so there hasn’t been zoning for resorts because people turned against it, and
