Searched remarks for explicit percentages (e.g., '80% owner occupied') or statements like 'mostly owner-occupied' but found none. Without any data point, the owner-occupancy rate cannot be determined.
The listings confirm that the building has at least one secured elevator, but no listing states how many elevators there are (e.g., '2 elevators', 'multiple elevators'). Without an explicit count, the exact number of elevators 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.
MLS data shows ACCEN in association_fee_includes for 6 of 13 listings, and remarks confirm a building-wide central AC system (e.g., 'Amenities include ... central AC', 'central AC unit...replaced'). While the narratives don’t explicitly say 'AC included in maintenance fee', the repeated MLS coding and common practice for similar Honolulu towers suggest the maintenance fee likely covers central AC costs. Inconsistency among agents keeps confidence moderate rather than very high.
Across 13 recent MLS listings in this building, 9 include CABTV in the association_fee_includes field. No remarks or other data points indicate that cable is billed separately, so it is very likely cable TV is included in the maintenance fees. The pattern looks building-wide rather than a one-off agent error.
8 of 13 MLS listings for this building include OTCOEX in association_fee_includes, suggesting common area electricity is part of the maintenance fee. The property operates as a full-service luxury high-rise with multiple powered common amenities, which are typically covered by HOA dues. No listing remarks contradict this, so common-area electric is very likely included.

Most recent listings (9 of 13) list HOTWAT in association_fee_includes, pointing to hot water being included in HOA dues. One listing mentions a water heater (WTRHTR), introducing some uncertainty, but there are no remarks stating that hot water is separately metered or excluded. Given the strong majority MLS coding, it is more likely than not that hot water is included in the maintenance fees building-wide.

10 of 13 MLS listings show SEWER in association_fee_includes for this building. No remarks suggest that sewer is billed separately to owners, and building type and location align with sewer typically being an HOA-covered utility. This combination provides high confidence that sewer charges are included in the maintenance fees.
Across 13 listings, 10 include WATER in the association_fee_includes data, indicating broad agent agreement that water is an HOA-covered utility. No narrative remarks mention separate water metering or charges. This consistent pattern strongly supports that water is included in the building’s maintenance fees.
At least two listings clearly advertise a 'BBQ area' and 'pool, BBQ and exercise room' as part of the building’s common amenities. This repeated, explicit mention across different agents, together with 11/13 MLS checkboxes, strongly supports that the building offers shared BBQ facilities.

At least two separate listings’ remarks explicitly mention a doorman, including one specifying a '24/7 doorman for added convenience and security.' In addition, 6 of 13 current MLS records check the doorman amenity, indicating agents consistently recognize this building service. Taken together, this supports a high-confidence conclusion that Regency at Kahala offers full-time doorman coverage.
Multiple listings explicitly mention a shared fitness facility, including phrases like 'fitness room' and 'exercise room,' and describe it alongside other building amenities such as the pool and BBQ. At least three separate remarks confirm this, aligning with 12/13 MLS checkboxes, indicating a genuine building gym/exercise room rather than a copy-paste error.

No listing remarks reference a sauna or steam room, even when agents are clearly enumerating building amenities like pool, fitness room, BBQ, and doorman. With only 1/13 MLS entries checking sauna and no textual support, the weight of evidence indicates the building does not have a sauna and that the single checkbox is likely mistaken.
Several listings for Regency at Kahala explicitly mention storage, including phrases like 'storage locker', 'dedicated storage locker', 'EXTRA STORAGE', and 'large private storage locker.' This appears across multiple differently worded remarks, suggesting confirmation from multiple agents, and aligns with MLS checkbox data (10 of 13 listings marked with storage/extra storage). Buyers can reasonably expect storage lockers/extra storage to be available in this building.
Looked for 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', or combined 'bike and surfboard storage'. Only generic storage lockers are mentioned, so dedicated surfboard storage is not evident.
No analysis available
While agent remarks do not explicitly call out a trash or garbage chute, 9 of 13 MLS listings indicate this amenity, which is typical for a building of this type and age. The strong checkbox consensus without any conflicting information supports treating trash chutes as a building feature, albeit with implied rather than explicit textual confirmation.

Multiple listings explicitly state the building has a pool, including phrases like 'resort-style living with a pool,' 'building also includes ... pool,' and 'Amenities include pool.' Combined with MLS data showing 13/13 listings flagged for pool-related amenities, evidence is strong and consistent across agents. Buyers can confidently expect a shared pool at this building.
No listing remarks describe the pool as heated; they only reference a generic 'pool,' despite multiple opportunities to highlight a heated feature. HEAPOO appears only in some MLS records and is not supported by any textual confirmation, suggesting data-entry inconsistency rather than a true heated pool. Given this and the local climate, it is more likely the building’s pool is unheated.
Searched for 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool', 'saline pool', or similar wording. Since the pool is mentioned without these qualifiers, there is no basis to call it a saltwater pool.
MLS inclusions indicate that all 13 of 13 recent listings have a washer/dryer, and one detailed listing description specifically mentions a "side by side Bosch washer and dryer" inside the unit. Although many agents may copy checkbox data, the explicit in-remarks confirmation supports that units in this building do offer in‑unit laundry. Buyers seeking in-unit laundry would find suitable options in this building.
No analysis available
Looked for terms such as 'coin-op', 'card laundry', 'paid laundry', or 'laundry fee'. Since none appear, there is no evidence that any community laundry (if present) is a paid/coin system.
Searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'community laundry', or 'laundry room on every floor'. No references to any shared laundry facilities, so floor-by-floor community laundry is unlikely.
No analysis available
Multiple MLS entries (11/13) flag assigned parking, and at least one agent explicitly describes a 'covered assigned parking stall in street level garage.' This pattern across many listings and clear language about an assigned stall strongly supports that parking is reserved/assigned at this building.
Several listings specifically advertise 'covered parking' and reference a garage, and 8/13 MLS records include covered/garage-related parking features. This consistent evidence across different units and agents strongly supports that the building offers covered parking stalls.
Looked for wording such as 'deeded parking', 'owned stall', or 'parking included in deed' and did not find any. Parking is therefore not confirmed as deeded and is marked as not deeded by default.
No analysis available
Reviewed all remarks for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', or similar language and found none. Any monthly parking cost is unknown from the provided information.
Guest parking is not described in the narrative remarks, but a clear majority of MLS records (8/13) have the GUEST parking feature selected. This repeated MLS indication across many listings implies that the building offers guest/visitor parking, even if agents do not highlight it in remarks.

Searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list for parking', or similar phrases and found no matches. In the absence of evidence, a parking waitlist is assumed not to exist.
No analysis available
Looked for language like 'key card access', 'fob entry', 'card reader', or 'electronic access system'. Security is noted generally, but no explicit card/fob system is described.
Multiple listings describe Regency at Kahala as a 'secure' or 'secure luxury' building with a 'secured elevator,' and one notes a 24/7 doorman for added security. Combined with 9 of 13 current MLS entries checking the security_guard amenity, this strongly suggests there is on-site security coverage. Although agents don’t use the exact phrase 'security guard' in remarks, buyers can reasonably expect staffed security at this property.
Searched for 'security patrol', 'roving security', or 'patrolled building'. None of the listings reference a patrol service, so this feature is not supported by the remarks.
No analysis available
Multiple listings clearly identify central air as a building feature, with at least three separate agents mentioning 'central AC' in their remarks and others noting new air conditioning system installations or AC work. Combined with nearly universal ACCEN/CENAC checkboxes in the MLS data, this provides strong, building-wide evidence that Regency at Kahala has central air conditioning. The consistency across many listings and remarks suggests this is a long-standing core feature, not a recent or unit-limited upgrade.

Across recent MLS entries for Regency at Kahala, 11 out of 13 listings explicitly flag concrete in the construction materials. Although public remarks do not spell out 'concrete construction,' the consistent MLS checkbox data across many listings and the building’s high-rise form strongly support that it is a concrete-constructed building.

Checked for terms like 'short-term rental allowed', 'vacation rental', NUC/TVU, or minimum-stay rules and found none, while the tone is purely residential. This suggests short-term rentals are not allowed.
Looked for phrases such as 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel program', or brand-managed operations and found none. Combined with the lack of STR indications, the building is treated as not having a hotel rental pool.
Searched for 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required rental program', or similar compulsory language and found nothing. With no evidence of any pool at all, mandatory participation is ruled out.

Searched for phrases like 'leasehold', 'lease expires', 'ground lease', and specific expiry years but none were present. The tenure type and any lease expiry year cannot be determined from these remarks.
Reviewed all listing remarks for any mention of VA approval or VA financing and found none. In the absence of explicit statements, the building is treated as not VA-approved.
Looked for phrases like 'fully insured', 'full insurance coverage', 'walls-in coverage', and 'comprehensive building insurance' with no results. With no explicit evidence that the HOA provides full building insurance, this is marked as not confirmed present.
No analysis available
Searched for terms such as 'fire life safety evaluation', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', and 'passed fire inspection' but found none. The absence of any reference suggests this is not being advertised, so it is assumed not confirmed as passed.

Numerous listings for Regency at Kahala highlight strong ocean views, including phrases like 'Pacific Ocean,' 'view that stretches from mountain to ocean,' and 'Diamond Head, ocean, and coastline views.' MLS checkbox data (9 of 13 listings with OCEAN and none with NONE) reinforces that many units have significant ocean exposure. Buyers seeking ocean-view units would clearly find them in this building.
At least one listing specifically advertises 'Diamond Head to mountain views' and another notes a view stretching 'from mountain to ocean,' confirming mauka-facing exposures. With 9 of 13 MLS entries checking MOUNTAIN and no listings indicating 'NONE,' it is clear the building offers mountain-view units. This makes mountain views a meaningful feature for this property.
Diamond Head is repeatedly highlighted across the remarks, including 'from Koko Head to Diamond Head,' 'BEST VIEWS OF OCEAN FROM KOKO HEAD TO DIAMOND HEAD,' and similar phrases in multiple units. The MLS view field also frequently flags Diamond Head (10 of 13 listings), showing this is one of the building’s signature views. Buyers specifically seeking Diamond Head views would be well-served by this building.
Remarks mention views 'across Kahala, Diamond Head, Kaimuki,' suggesting elevated outlooks over surrounding residential and urban areas. Combined with MLS CITY view selections on several listings, this points to city/urban views being available from some stacks. While less emphasized than ocean or Diamond Head, city views are a real component of the building’s outlook options.

A narrative description for Regency at Kahala specifically calls out 'views of ocean, golf & Diamond Head,' confirming golf course vistas from certain units. MLS data with 3 of 13 listings selecting golf course views further supports this. Buyers wanting golf course scenery (e.g., Waialae CC) would find suitable units here.
No analysis available
Some MLS listings for this building specifically check SUNRISE in the view field, and the building’s orientation (including Koko Head-facing units) makes sunrise views plausible from certain stacks. Since no listings mark view as 'NONE,' and several agents independently flagged sunrise, it is likely that at least some units offer notable sunrise views. Evidence is moderate rather than explicit in the remarks, so confidence is accordingly lower.
While the marketing remarks focus more on ocean and Diamond Head, MLS data shows a subset of units flagged with SUNSET views. Given the building’s high-rise nature and multiple orientations, it is reasonable that some stacks enjoy sunset/evening light and horizon views. Because the evidence is from MLS fields rather than detailed prose, the confidence rating is moderate.
No analysis available
Searched for 'fireworks', 'Friday night fireworks', or references to watching fireworks from the lanai/unit. No such mentions were found, so a fireworks view cannot be confirmed.
No analysis available
Across current MLS listings for Regency at Kahala, 10 out of 13 units have the RESMAN amenity selected, indicating a resident/on-site manager. While the public remarks do not explicitly say “resident manager,” they highlight security, staffing, and a 24/7 doorman, which aligns with a building that maintains on-site management. The consistency of the MLS amenity data across multiple agents provides strong evidence that a resident manager is present.
