New affordable housing for local artists coming soon to Kaka'ako.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held Sunday for Ola Ka 'Ilima Artspace Lofts.

The lofts will be on Waimanu Street, near Ward.

The $53 million building will provide 84 housing units, an outdoor courtyard, and playground.

The ground floor will be home to the PA'I Arts and Cultural Center.

Construction is expected to begin early spring.

The lofts will be ready for move-in late next year.
