Punahou Tower
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.

I searched for explicit owner-occupancy figures such as "80% owner occupied," or descriptive phrases like majority/highly owner occupied. The remarks mention long-term tenants and investor appeal, but they do not provide any numeric owner-occupancy rate.
I searched for explicit elevator counts such as "4 elevators," "four elevators," or similar phrasing. The remarks only confirm that elevators exist in the building; no number is provided, so the count remains unknown.

Cable TV is included in the maintenance fee. CABTV appears in the association_fee_includes field for 12 of 14 current MLS listings, and one listing explicitly notes 'Spectrum Cable ... included in maintenance fee,' confirming it at the building level across multiple agents.
Common-area electricity appears to be included for Punahou Tower. MLS data shows OTCOEX on 9 of 15 current listings, and one remark specifically notes "372 PV panels to keep community electricity expense low," which supports shared electrical costs being handled at the building level. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and reads like a recurring building-level HOA inclusion rather than a one-off agent note.

Hot water does not appear to be included in the maintenance fee. Across 15 current listings, none include HOTWAT, and many instead list WTRHTR, which is a strong sign that water heating is unit-based rather than supplied by the HOA. The remarks consistently mention appliances like "water heater replaced" or "new water heater," reinforcing that this is handled within the unit, not as a shared building service.
Internet service is included in the maintenance fee. 12 of 14 current MLS listings show INTSER in association_fee_includes, and one public remark explicitly notes 'wi-fi included in maintenance fee,' confirming building-wide included internet.
No analysis available
Sewer is effectively covered by the HOA for this building. MLS data shows SEWER in 14 of 15 current listings, which is very strong and consistent with prior high-confidence evidence. The remarks do not contradict this and appear to be standard copy-paste building descriptions rather than source of change.
Water is included in the maintenance fees at Punahou Tower. All 15 current listings include WATER in association_fee_includes, making this the strongest of the fee-inclusion signals. The remarks are consistent across agents and show no sign of a change or exception.
Several remarks mention BBQ amenities directly, such as "BBQ and recreation areas," "covered recreation area with BBQ," "recreation area with kitchen and BBQs," and "BBQ area." This is repeated across multiple listings and strongly supports a shared building amenity.

At least a few listings explicitly note "car wash," "Car Wash," or "carwash area." While less ubiquitous than the other amenities, the repeated direct references support that the building offers a shared car wash facility.

Multiple listings describe an exercise facility, including "fitness rooms," "Fitness area," "men’s and women’s exercise room," and "exercise room." The amenity appears consistently across different agents rather than as a one-off copy-paste error.

Multiple recent listings for Punahou Tower explicitly reference lanais or patios, including 'lanai that captures beautiful mountain views,' 'private lanai,' 'open lanai,' and 'enclosed patio/lanai.' One listing also describes an 'EXTRA large, recreation area/lanai w/kitchen,' indicating a shared deck-like outdoor amenity. Combined with 7/14 MLS entries showing PATDEC/COVPAT, evidence strongly supports that units and common areas in this building offer patio/deck-style outdoor spaces.

Listings refer to a "recreation area," "recreation room with kitchen," "EXTRA large, recreation area/lanai," and "recreation area with kitchen and BBQs." The repeated language across listings suggests a common shared amenity, not a unit-specific feature.

Numerous listings mention sauna, including "sauna," "men's & women's separate gym and sauna areas," and "exercise room with sauna." The feature appears consistently across remarks from multiple agents, indicating a real shared amenity.
Storage is strongly supported across multiple recent listings for Punahou Tower. At least 6 remarks explicitly mention storage, including specific wording such as "storage locker," "a separate private storage unit," and "extra storage room," which suggests this is not just copy-paste checkbox data. This is consistent with the prior high-confidence MLS pattern showing storage in both amenities and unit features.
I searched for surfboard storage, board storage, surf storage, and similar amenity descriptions. The remarks mention bike racks and extra storage, but nothing about surfboard storage.
Listings consistently describe on-site tennis or multi-use racquet courts, using terms like 'Tennis/Pickleball court,' 'Private tennis / pickle ball court,' 'paddle tennis court striped for pickleball,' and 'one tennis court to practice.' With 9/14 MLS entries checking TENCOU, it's clear the building has at least one shared tennis/pickleball-style court available to residents. The variety of descriptions suggests real, observed amenities rather than generic boilerplate.
The MLS amenity field indicates TRACHU in 11/15 listings, which suggests a building-level trash chute system. However, the public remarks provided do not explicitly say "trash chute" or "garbage chute," so confidence is moderate rather than high.

The building clearly has a common swimming pool. Multiple listings mention it directly, including phrases like "swimming pool," "saltwater pool," and "pool" as a listed amenity, across many different remarks and agents. The evidence is consistent and strong, not just a single copy-pasted mention.
No analysis available
This feature is directly confirmed in the listings. Multiple remarks explicitly call out a saltwater pool, which strongly supports the building having a salt water pool.
In-unit laundry is strongly supported across the remarks and matches the historical MLS pattern. Multiple listings explicitly mention "in-unit washer/dryer," "in-unit laundry," "laundry center in unit," and "interior washer/dryer," indicating this is not a one-off or copy-paste error. The evidence is consistent across many listings and agents, so this feature should remain included.
No analysis available
I looked for terms indicating paid common laundry such as coin laundry, coin-op, card-operated, or laundry fees. The remarks instead focus on in-unit laundry and never mention a paid community laundry setup.
I searched for public remarks referencing laundry on every floor, floor-by-floor laundry rooms, and similar wording. The listings only mention in-unit laundry/washer-dryer and do not describe any shared laundry rooms.
No analysis available
Assigned parking is strongly supported across many listings, with multiple agents explicitly stating a dedicated stall. Remarks consistently use phrases like "1 assigned parking stall," "one secured, covered parking stall," and "prime first floor parking stall," which aligns with the high-confidence MLS history.
Covered parking is confirmed by the MLS history and by repeated public remarks. Multiple listings describe the space as "covered," "indoor," or located in a "gated garage," showing consistent building-level availability rather than a one-off unit feature.
I searched for explicit ownership language such as "deeded parking," "owned stall," or "parking included in deed" and did not find it. The remarks only support assigned/secured parking, not deeded parking.
No analysis available
I looked for any parking cost references, including monthly parking fee, parking rental, or additional parking charge, and found none. The remarks only note parking is assigned or covered.
Guest parking appears to be a well-established amenity at this building. Several remarks explicitly mention guest parking, with some specifying "six guest parking stalls," which is strong corroboration across multiple agents.
Secured-entry parking is supported by both MLS history and current remarks. Listings mention "secured entry," "secured parking," and a "gated garage," indicating parking access is controlled and not merely open or unenclosed.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for terms like "parking waitlist," "parking waiting list," and "join waitlist for parking" and found nothing. The remarks describe available assigned/guest parking instead.
No analysis available
I searched for card/fob access terms such as key card, keycard, fob access, and electronic entry. The remarks mention secured or gated entry, but not a specific card-based security system.
Multiple listings describe Punahou Tower as a "secured entry" or "secured building" with a gated garage and access control, but none of the public remarks across these listings reference a security guard, doorman, or on-site security personnel. One agent-checked MLS box for a guard conflicts with the absence of any such mention in otherwise detailed amenity descriptions and with the statement that there is only a weekday building manager. Based on this, the building appears to have secure access but not staffed security, so security_guard is set to false.
I looked for any reference to security patrol services or roving patrols. The remarks describe secured access and a resident manager, but nothing indicates a formal patrol service.

Window AC is supported by both historical MLS data and current remarks. Across the provided listings, 2 explicitly mention it ('brand-new window AC' and '2 window AC'), while the MLS history shows ACWIUN in 8 of 15 listings. The evidence suggests some units in Punahou Tower have window air conditioning units and buyers searching for that feature would find this building relevant.
Concrete construction is supported by the MLS data across all current listings (15/15 marked CONCRE). The public remarks do not explicitly mention construction type, but there is no contradictory evidence, and the feature appears to be a stable building characteristic rather than a copy-paste anomaly.

Confidence 70%: One MLS listing includes MASSTU in construction_materials, suggesting masonry/stucco exterior elements.
No analysis available
In the current MLS set, 5 of 14 Punahou Tower listings include SLAB in the construction_materials field, and none explicitly contradict a slab foundation in the remarks. This repeated but inconsistent checkbox use suggests the building likely has a slab foundation, though the evidence is moderate rather than definitive.

I looked for evidence of short-term rental allowance such as "STR permitted," "TVU," "NUC," or vacation-rental language, and found none. In the absence of any support, this is treated as not allowed/unsupported from the public remarks.
I searched for any hotel rental pool program references and found none. Since there is no evidence that short-term rentals are allowed, hotel-pool participation must be false.
I looked for mandatory pool language like "required to participate," "cannot opt out," or similar hotel-program restrictions and found nothing. With no evidence of any hotel pool at all, mandatory participation is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for any ground lease, leasehold, or lease-expiration language such as "lease expires" or "ground lease ends" and found none. The fee simple wording indicates no lease expiry year is applicable from these remarks.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted," but found none. With no explicit evidence, the building is treated as not confirmed VA-approved.
I searched for language like fully insured, full insurance, walls-in coverage, or comprehensive building insurance. The remarks do not mention HOA insurance coverage, so there is no evidence the building is fully insured from these listings.
No analysis available
I searched for fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE, fire inspection, life safety compliance, or similar language. None of the public remarks mention a passed fire/life safety evaluation or any equivalent certification.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Mountain views are well supported for Punahou Tower. At least 4 listings explicitly mention them, including phrases such as "lanai that captures beautiful mountain views," "mountain views," "delightful mountain views," and "windows facing the mountains." This aligns with the strong historical MLS signal (8/15 MOUNTA), so confidence is very high.
Diamond Head views are not supported by the public remarks for these listings. While the MLS data shows a small number of DIAHEA entries (2/15), there are no corroborating remarks describing Diamond Head or crater views, so this appears weak and possibly copy-paste driven.
City views appear to be available in some units at Punahou Tower based on the MLS data (9/15 CITY). The public remarks do not explicitly say "city view" or "downtown view," so the evidence is more MLS-driven than remark-driven, but still reasonably supportive for a building-level feature.

I searched for explicit references to Friday night fireworks views from the building or from units. There were no mentions of fireworks viewing, only mountain views and general location details.

Resident manager is supported by both the MLS amenity data and the public remarks. One listing explicitly states "resident manager," and 8 of 15 MLS listings include RESMAN in amenities, suggesting this is a real building-level feature rather than a one-off copy-paste error. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings with no remarks contradicting it.

Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
