Regency 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.
If this building is important to your search, you can help prioritize it for a full audit by requesting one below. To see what a complete report looks like, check out the example full report.
Regency Tower
Building Overview
Regency Tower in Downtown-Chinatown (built 1974) with concrete construction, pool and ocean/mountain views.
About Regency Tower
Regency Tower is located in the Downtown-Chinatown neighborhood and was built in 1974. According to available records, the building is concrete construction. MLS data does not include unit count or floor plate size, so buyers should verify building size and specific unit dimensions with the listing agent or management.
Based on MLS data, Regency Tower offers a pool, BBQ area, and on-site staff including a resident manager and security guard. Units feature window air conditioning and offer views that include ocean, mountain, Diamond Head, and sunsets. Short-term rentals and pets are not allowed per the available records.
Parking is available and noted as covered and assigned, with guest parking also provided. The management company is listed as unknown in the MLS. This summary is based on MLS-derived data; buyers should confirm all amenities, rules, and fees with the listing agent or managing entity prior to making decisions.

County records and the state registration both report 42 floors, and the highest unit-number-implied floor is also 42. The MLS floor field reaches only 40 and has no penthouse listings, so it does not override the other evidence.
The county's reconciled unit count and the state's authoritative registration total both report 238 units. The county dwell sum and state's residential_units are lower, but those figures are not the preferred total-unit measures here.
Owner occupancy from AOUO registration(s) 461. Refreshed by Real_Estate_Scraper/reb_registry/propagate_owner_occupancy.py, which this lock does not block.
The remarks mention a parking stall located close to an elevator and a fourth-floor unit with stair access, but do not state a number of elevators. Searches for explicit counts such as "4 elevators," "four elevators," or "multiple elevators" found no qualifying evidence.

OTCOEX appears in 16 of 20 current MLS records, consistent with the previously high-confidence finding that common-area electricity is included in the maintenance fee. Public remarks generally describe the building's common amenities and well-maintained common areas but do not independently mention common-area electricity, so the conclusion relies primarily on consistent MLS data.

Evidence strongly supports that hot water is not included in the maintenance fee. Only 1/20 listings checks HOTWAT, while 16/20 list WTRHTR, and remarks repeatedly mention unit-level water heaters such as “newer tankless water heater” and “Rheem Tankless Electric Water Heater.”

Sewer is listed in the association fee inclusions for all 20 of 20 current listings. The explicit remark that the maintenance fee includes "water, sewer, and trash" independently confirms the feature, making the evidence strong across the building.
Water is listed in the association fee inclusions for all 20 of 20 current listings. The explicit statement that the maintenance fee includes "water, sewer, and trash" provides independent confirmation beyond checkbox data, supporting very high confidence.
BBQ facilities are explicitly mentioned in well over 17 listings, with consistent references across numerous distinct listing descriptions and agents. Repeated phrases include "BBQ area," "bbq/recreation area," "BBQ/picnic area," and "outdoor dining patio," demonstrating strong building-level evidence rather than a single copied remark.

I found no public remarks describing any car wash or vehicle wash facility for Regency Tower. The current MLS signal is extremely weak at 1/20 listings and is not supported by any listing text, so the building should not be treated as having a car wash amenity based on the available evidence.
No listings explicitly mention a clubhouse or community center. Although 1 of 20 MLS records contains the CLUHOU checkbox, the absence of any supporting remarks and the strong descriptions of other amenities suggest this isolated checkbox should not establish a building-level clubhouse feature.

Meeting-room facilities are mentioned in at least 9 of the 20 listings, including phrases such as 'a meeting room should you ever need one,' 'meeting/rec room,' and 'good size of meeting room.' These references appear across multiple listing descriptions and consistently identify the space as a shared Regency Tower amenity.
Multiple independent listings describe building-level shared outdoor spaces, including a renovated pool deck, outdoor dining patio, outdoor patio seating, recreation deck, and BBQ/picnic areas. The evidence is consistent across many remarks and aligns with the historically high-confidence designation and current MLS amenity data.

No listings explicitly mention a private yard, and 0/40+ remarks describe unit-specific yard space or yard access. References are consistently to shared/common outdoor areas such as a courtyard, BBQ/recreation area, pool deck, or outdoor patio seating, which are not private yards. This strongly suggests the current MLS amenity checkbox is inaccurate for this building.
No analysis available
At least 8 listings explicitly mention recreation amenities, including a 'recreation area,' 'recreation deck,' 'bbq/recreation area,' or 'meeting/rec room.' The feature is described across multiple listing versions and agents, supporting a shared building recreation space even though the MLS checkbox appears in only 6/20 listings.
There is solid evidence that Regency Tower has a recreation room or rec-room-style shared space. Several listings use explicit language such as 'meeting/rec room,' which strongly supports the amenity even though it appears in only a subset of remarks and MLS checkboxes.

No analysis available
Sauna facilities are explicitly mentioned in at least 20 listings, including references to an 'upgraded sauna' and 'dry sauna.' The repeated confirmation across studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom listings and across multiple agents strongly establishes this as a building amenity.
Several listings describe building amenities that include 'bike storage area', 'bike storage', and explicitly 'bicycle & other storage,' indicating dedicated common storage spaces in the building. Although the MLS checkbox for storage is rarely marked, repeated textual mentions across different listings provide strong evidence that the building offers storage rooms/lockers. This supports treating storage units/lockers as an available building amenity.
The listings reference bike storage, nearby beaches, and surfing areas but do not describe a facility for storing surfboards. Searches for surfboard storage, board storage, surf storage, and bike-and-surfboard storage found no supporting evidence.
No analysis available
There is no supporting evidence in the remarks for a trash chute system at Regency Tower. With 0/20 current MLS listings showing the feature and no explicit references like "trash chute" or "garbage chute," this feature should be treated as not present.

The pool is overwhelmingly validated across the listing set: current MLS amenity data shows POOL/CNDAP/COMAP/HEAPOO in 20 of 20 listings, and well over 20 remarks independently mention a "pool," "swimming pool," or "full-length tile Pool." Multiple agents also describe the renovated or retiled pool/deck, confirming this is a genuine building amenity rather than an unchecked or copied MLS feature.
No analysis available
Multiple listings confirm a swimming pool, including renovated, tiled, and full-length descriptions. Searches for saltwater pool, salt pool, and saline pool found no mention, so salt-water status is unsupported.
In-unit laundry is overwhelmingly supported across the current remarks, with well over 20 listing remarks explicitly mentioning the feature. Multiple agents describe washer/dryer installations or inclusions in studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, while some listings mention hookups or room for a stacked unit, indicating the building offers in-unit laundry across at least some units.
No analysis available
Listings overwhelmingly describe in-unit washers and dryers rather than shared laundry facilities. No references to coins, quarters, laundry fees, payment cards, or paid laundry were found.
The remarks consistently describe washers and dryers, hookups, or space for laundry inside individual units. Searches for laundry on every floor, laundry rooms on each floor, and shared floor-by-floor facilities found no supporting mention.
More than 20 provided remarks mention parking, including covered stalls, assigned stalls, parking spaces, and guest parking. The evidence is consistent across many listings and agents, strongly confirming that the building offers parking.
Assigned or otherwise unit-specific parking is explicitly mentioned across many listings and appears in multiple independent descriptions, not just one repeated remark. Key phrases include "assigned parking space," "1 assigned parking stall," "dedicated parking stall," and "TWO COVERED assigned parking spaces"; the evidence strongly confirms this building offers assigned parking.
Covered parking is strongly supported by both MLS data and repeated remarks from multiple listings. Descriptions explicitly reference covered stalls and spaces, including "2 covered parking spaces," "covered, full sized parking stall," and "TWO COVERED parking on 1st level," confirming the building offers covered parking.
Multiple listings state that covered or assigned parking is included with the unit or sale, including two stalls included with certain units. This consistently supports parking being owned or deeded rather than merely rented.
No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly describe assigned, covered, included, and guest parking, but do not state a monthly parking fee or additional parking charge. Searches for parking fee, parking rental, parking cost, and monthly charge found no amount.
Guest parking is consistently documented across numerous listings and agents, with repeated references to guest or visitor stalls on the ground, first, and third floors. The remarks include "ample guest parking," "guest parking available," "10 Guest Parking stalls," and "16 visitor parking stalls," providing strong building-level confirmation.

The listings describe available assigned, covered, and guest parking throughout the building. Searches for parking waitlist, parking waiting list, and joining a waitlist found no mentions, so no waitlist system is supported by the remarks.
No analysis available
Repeated public remarks directly confirm a key-fob/card-based access system. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and strongly supports this feature.
At least 20 listings explicitly mention building security or security guard/patrol service, with key phrases including "24-hour security patrol/video," "security guard on site," and "round-the-clock onsite security." The evidence is strong across many listings and uses detailed, consistent descriptions such as patrols, video surveillance, secured entry, and security personnel, corroborating the 20/20 SECGUA MLS designation rather than appearing to be an isolated copy-paste error.
The remarks repeatedly identify ongoing security patrol service, often paired with video surveillance and secured entry. This is strong, repeated direct evidence that the building has security patrol.

At least 5 current listings explicitly mention window or room air conditioning, including approved window AC units and units installed in bedrooms, living areas, or studios. The evidence appears across multiple distinct remarks and confirms the historically high-confidence feature rather than relying solely on copied MLS checkbox data.
Concrete construction is supported by 18 of 20 historical MLS listings marking CONCRE in the construction materials. No current remarks mention a construction change or contradict the established concrete-building data; the evidence is strong across the building's listing history.
Zero of the provided listings mention double-wall construction or equivalent wording. Only 5 of 20 MLS records contain the DOUWAL code, making this appear to be a sparse or inconsistent checkbox rather than a validated building feature.
Hollow tile is mentioned in only 1 of 20 MLS records, with no supporting remarks such as “hollow tile construction.” The isolated checkbox appears likely to be an unverified or copied MLS entry rather than reliable building-wide evidence.
Masonry/stucco is not supported by the public remarks and is present in only a small minority of current MLS records (2 of 20). The listing remarks repeatedly describe amenities, views, and unit upgrades, but never mention masonry or stucco construction. This looks more like inconsistent MLS data entry than a reliable building-level feature.
No analysis available
Concrete slab construction has weak support: only 3 of 20 current listings identify SLAB, and no public remarks mention a slab or solid concrete foundation. Given the previously low confidence and lack of corroborating descriptions, this is treated as a prior MLS classification error.

None of the provided remarks mention above-ground construction. With ABOGRO appearing in only 5 of 20 MLS records and no corroboration from multiple agents, the evidence is insufficient to include this feature.

No analysis available
The remarks mention investors, rentals, and consistently rented units, but these references do not establish short-term rental permission. No explicit STR authorization, NUC, TVU, vacation-rental, or similar language was found; therefore STR is treated as not supported.
The listings describe ordinary residential amenities and rental appeal but contain no reference to a hotel rental pool or hotel-managed rental program. Because short-term rental permission is not established, the hotel-pool feature must also be false.
No listing states that owners must participate in a hotel rental program or cannot opt out. Since neither STR permission nor a hotel rental pool is supported, mandatory hotel-pool participation is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks identify the property as fee simple, so a land-lease expiration does not apply. Searches for leasehold, ground lease, lease expiration, renewal, and lease expiry years found no applicable expiration date.
The remarks explicitly confirm an assumable VA mortgage and availability to buyers with existing VA eligibility. This is direct evidence supporting VA financing availability for the building.
One listing directly states that the "Building is fully insured," which is strong evidence of comprehensive HOA building insurance. Another remark states that "Hurricane insurance is covered," providing additional supporting evidence.
No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly mention security, secured entry, patrols, surveillance, and building maintenance, but none of these establish that the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation. No statements such as "FLSE passed," "fire safety certified," or "passed fire inspection" were found.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Ocean views are clearly supported across the building. At least 8-10 listings/remark versions mention them directly with phrases like "wrap around views of the ocean," "beautiful ocean & city views," and "partial ocean views." This appears to be a real building-level offering, not a one-off copy-paste error.
Mountain views are strongly established across the building, appearing in 15 of 20 current MLS listings. Remarks repeatedly cite "mountain views," "Mauka and Manoa Valley views," and views of the mountains and ridgeline, indicating broad confirmation beyond simple copied checkbox data.
Diamond Head views are a confirmed offering for select units, with 5 of 20 current listings marked DIAHEA. Multiple remarks specifically state "stunning and unobstructed view of Leahi," "breathtaking views of Diamond Head," and panoramic Diamond Head views.
City views are exceptionally well established, appearing in 18 of 20 current MLS listings. Remarks repeatedly reference "city views," "city vistas," "Waikiki skyline," "city lights," and panoramic views over the city, providing strong multi-listing confirmation.
Coastline views are included because at least 1 of 20 current listings is marked COASTL, and many remarks describe ocean views from Regency Tower. Examples include "beautiful ocean & city views of Waikiki," "distant ocean views," and "partial ocean views," although the coastline-specific evidence is less frequent than the mountain or city evidence.
No analysis available
Golf course views are confirmed as an offering for some Regency Tower units, appearing in 6 of 20 current MLS listings. Remarks cite "the greens of Ala Wai Golf Course," "lush golf course" views, and sweeping golf course panoramas, showing the feature is not solely checkbox-based.
No analysis available
Sunrise views are a legitimate feature for select units, appearing in 4 of 20 current MLS listings. Remarks explicitly state "peaceful hues of the mountain and sunrises" and "unobstructed sunrise views" showcasing Diamond Head, Waikiki, and the ocean.
Sunset views are supported by explicit remark language, most notably "the peaceful hues of the mountain and sunsets." The evidence is less frequent than mountain or city views, but it appears in more than one remark version and is consistent with the building's high-floor exposure. This should be treated as a real but less commonly advertised feature.
No evidence the building offers cemetery views: none of the provided listing remarks or the current MLS view_descriptions mention cemetery views (0/20). Listings consistently describe ocean, mountain, Diamond Head, valley and city views, but never a cemetery, so the feature is not present.
The remarks mention ocean, city, mountain, Diamond Head, golf course, sunrise, and sunset views. No listing specifically describes viewing Friday night fireworks from a unit, lanai, or the building.

At least 20 listings mention on-site management, including phrases such as "Resident Manager," "on-site Resident Manager," "resident manager," and "site manager." The feature is confirmed across many distinct listing remarks and is consistent with the 14/20 current MLS amenity records, so it does not appear to be a copy-paste error.
