Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.

Punahou Regency
Building Overview
Punahou Regency in Makiki-Tantalus — concrete construction with central air and on-site pool.
About Punahou Regency
Punahou Regency is located in the Makiki-Tantalus neighborhood and was built in 1980. According to available records the building is concrete construction. MLS data does not include unit size information for this property, so buyers should verify square footage and floor plans with the listing agent.
Based on MLS data, the building offers on-site amenities including a pool and a BBQ area. Air conditioning is provided via a central system.
Additional details from MLS: parking is covered and assigned, pets are allowed, and short-term rentals are not permitted. The management company is listed as unknown and no fee details are provided in the available MLS data. Buyers should confirm parking, pet rules, management, and any association fees or restrictions with the seller or managing agent.

The listings describe the units as suitable for both personal use and investment but never provide any data about how many units are owner-occupied. With no numeric or descriptive statements about owner occupancy, this value remains unknown.
The listings clearly indicate that the building has elevator access, but they always use the generic term 'elevator' without a count. Because no remark specifies the number of elevators (e.g., '2 elevators'), the exact quantity remains unknown.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.
8 of 11 recent listings mark ACCEN (air conditioning) as included in the association fee, and remarks repeatedly describe the property as a 'central air conditioned' building. Although no remarks explicitly say 'A/C included in maintenance fee', the consistency of the MLS checkbox data across many agents strongly indicates that central air is covered by the HOA fees.

9 of 11 listings report OTCOEX in association_fee_includes, indicating common area electricity is covered by the maintenance fee. Remarks don’t spell this out, but the strong MLS consensus and standard condo practice support treating common-area electric as HOA-included.

Although a majority of listings (8/11) check HOTWAT as fee-included, at least 2 listings explicitly include WTRHTR (water heater), which strongly suggests individual water heaters rather than central hot water. With no remarks stating that hot water is included in HOA fees, the WTRHTR evidence outweighs the checkbox data, so hot water is most likely not included in the maintenance fee.

Every one of the 11 MLS listings marks WATER as included in the association fee, with no remarks suggesting otherwise. This perfect consistency, plus standard condo norms, supports a very high-confidence conclusion that water is included in the maintenance fee.
At least 2 of 11 listings explicitly describe a 'BBQ area' as part of the building amenities. Phrases like 'Amenities include tennis court, whirlpool, swimming pool and BBQ area' and 'Building amenities include BBQ area, pool, tennis courts' show a common, shared BBQ facility rather than a unit-specific feature, and the wording varies across listings, suggesting multiple agents confirming the same amenity.

Across 11 listings, amenities are repeatedly described as pool, spa/hot tub, tennis court, and occasionally BBQ area, but no remarks ever mention a patio, deck, lanai, or other dedicated outdoor terrace. Only 3/11 MLS records check the patio/deck-related box, which conflicts with the remarks and suggests sporadic, likely mistaken checkbox use rather than a real, advertised patio/deck amenity. Based on this, the building is treated as not offering a distinct patio/deck feature at the building level.

Several listings describe a cluster of common amenities—pool, hot tub/spa, tennis court, and BBQ area—available 'within the comfort of your own community' and as 'Amenities include tennis court, whirlpool, swimming pool and BBQ area.' Although not labeled explicitly as a 'recreation area,' the presence of these grouped, on-site facilities strongly suggests a shared recreation/amenity deck or area serving the building.

9+ of 11 listings clearly reference a tennis court as a building amenity, using varied but consistent language such as 'invigorating tennis court,' 'On-site amenities include a pool and tennis court,' and 'Or indulge in a friendly match at the tennis court – all within the comfort of your own community.' The repetition across differently worded remarks strongly indicates a long-standing, shared tennis facility for the building.

At least 6–7 of 11 listings mention a whirlpool-equivalent amenity using terms like 'spa,' 'hot tub,' and 'whirlpool' alongside the pool and tennis court. Statements such as 'Spend lazy afternoons basking in the sun at nearby beaches or at the pool and spa' and 'This unit has ... a tennis court, pool and hot tub' indicate a common hot tub/spa accessible to residents, corroborated across multiple differently worded remarks.
Across the provided remarks, at least eight listings explicitly describe a pool as a building amenity, often alongside spa/hot tub and tennis court (e.g., 'refreshing pool, spa,' 'swimming pool, hot tub, and tennis court'). Combined with MLS data showing 11/11 listings marking a pool-related amenity, this indicates a long-standing, shared building pool rather than an agent error. The consistency and detail across different listings and timeframes provide very strong evidence that the building has a pool.

Multiple recent listings (9/11) list washer/dryer among the inclusions, indicating that units commonly have in‑unit laundry. One agent remark notes you can do laundry "without leaving the comfort of your home," reinforcing that laundry is inside the unit rather than only in a common area. While not every remark mentions it, the consistent MLS inclusions across many listings suggest this is a standard or frequent feature in the building.

Multiple listings state that units 'come with' a specific number of stalls, including side‑by‑side and tandem arrangements, and one explicitly highlights 'your dedicated spaces', all of which point to assigned parking. With 8/11 MLS records checked as ASSIGN and consistent descriptions across different units and agents, it is highly likely that stalls in this building are assigned to individual units.
At least six listings explicitly describe covered or garage parking with phrases like 'secure parking garage' and 'secure and covered parking stall', and every MLS record flags covered/garage parking. This consistent evidence across units indicates the building provides covered/garage parking for its residential stalls.
Looked for language indicating that stalls are included with ownership versus rented, such as 'comes with', 'included', or 'owned stall'. Repeated statements that units come with specific, secure covered stalls strongly suggest the stalls transfer with the condo and function as deeded/owned parking.

Searched for phrases like 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', 'additional cost for parking', or dollar amounts attached to parking. Since no listing states that parking is rented for a monthly fee, the presence and amount of any parking fee is unknown.

Searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list for parking', or similar wording. The absence of any such mentions across many listings suggests there is likely no formal parking waitlist system.

Multiple listings explicitly describe Punahou Regency as a building with central air conditioning, including phrases like “This is a sprinklered 1980 building with central air conditioning” and “this central air conditioned 3 bedroom 2 bath condo.” In addition, 9 of 11 current MLS entries have central AC checked in unit features and inclusions, indicating a building-wide system rather than isolated units. Evidence is strong and consistent across different listings and agents, so central AC is included as a building feature.

MLS data is unanimous: 11 of 11 listings mark construction as concrete (CONCRE), indicating building-level concrete construction. Remarks about recent painting and spalling repairs further support that this is a reinforced concrete high-rise typical of 1980 Honolulu construction, with no indications of alternative primary materials.
The majority of listings (7 of 11) do not indicate double wall (DOUWAL), and public remarks focus on features like sprinklers, amenities, and concrete-related maintenance (spalling), with no mention of double-wall construction. In the context of a concrete high-rise, the few double-wall selections appear inconsistent and are best treated as agent error rather than a true building characteristic.

Most agents (9 of 11 listings) do not mark steel frame (STEFRA), and no public remarks reference steel framing despite multiple detailed descriptions of the building. Given the consistent identification as a 1980 concrete high-rise and the lack of any textual support, the building is very likely not characterized as steel-frame construction in MLS terms.

Looked for terms like 'short-term rental', 'vacation rental', 'NUC', 'TVU', 'legal STR', or explicit minimum-stay rules. With no references to STR permissions and a purely residential tone, STR is assumed not allowed, but this is not explicitly confirmed.
Searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel program', or branded hotel management (e.g., Hilton, Ritz) and found none. Given no evidence of STR permissions or hotel operations, participation in a hotel rental pool is assumed not present.
I looked for phrases such as "mandatory hotel pool", "required to participate", "must be in rental program", or similar. With no such mentions and no evidence of any hotel pool at all, mandatory participation in any rental pool can be confidently ruled out.

Searched for terms like leasehold, land lease, ground lease, and phrases such as 'lease expires' or 'lease extended to' followed by a year. None of the listings reference leasehold status or any lease expiry year, so the expiry date is unknown.
I searched for terms like "VA approved", "VA financing", and "VA loans accepted". While those exact phrases do not appear, the presence of an assumable VA loan on a unit strongly implies the building is VA-approved. Thus, VA financing is treated as available for this building.
The public remarks clearly describe the property as a 'Fully insured building,' which matches the definition of being fully insured by the HOA (walls‑in or comprehensive building coverage). This direct statement provides strong evidence that the building is fully insured. No listings contradict this claim.
No analysis available
I searched for phrases like 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', or 'passed fire inspection' and did not find any. While the presence of sprinklers suggests good fire protection, there is no direct evidence that a formal fire/life safety evaluation has been passed.

City views are repeatedly emphasized across several listings, with phrases like 'wrap-around views of the city' and 'Breathtaking panoramic views of the city skyline and Diamond Head.' MLS data further supports this, with 7 of 11 listings checking CITY in the view field and none indicating no view, suggesting city views are a common feature of this building.
No analysis available
Across all provided remarks and 11 MLS view descriptions, there are no explicit references to garden, courtyard, or landscaped views. The building is consistently described with city, Diamond Head, mountain, and partial ocean views, so it is unlikely that garden views are a defining or advertised feature here.
