Regency at Kahala Condominium
April 7th, 2008 categories: Honolulu Condominiums
The Regency at Kahala was built in 1969 and is the only high-rise condominium on the ocean side of the freeway in Kahala. There are many desirable things about this building and here are a few that set it apart from most.
1. All of the units are some of the biggest (square footage wise) on Oahu. See the unit mix and sizes below.
Unit A 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms 1,830 square feet
Unit B 1 bedroom & 1 bathroom 1,081 sqaure feet
Unit C 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms 1,619 square feet
Unit D 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms 1,619 square feet
2. It is one of the few (2 that I can think of) buildings that have a doorman.
3. There are only four (4) units per floor. Which means you will have fewer neighbors (theoretically it should be quieter than a building with 16 units per floor) and each unit has windows on two sides
4. It is behind Kahala Mall and, therefore, walking distance to Macy’s, California Pizza Kitchen, Chili’s Restaurant, Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Barnes and Noble, an Apple Computer Store and a eight-plex movie theater. Kahala Mall will soon have a Whole Foods Market too.
5. The freeway on ramp (going to downtown or Hawaii Kai) is less than ½ mile from its driveway.
6. It is within the Kahala Elementary School district and this is one of the more desirable public schools in Honolulu.
7. Given the age of the project, many units have been remodeled and, if they have not, then you will be able to remodel your unit to your tastes.
As of this writing, there are a few units on the market with all of them asking in the $800,000’s for a 2 or 3 bedroom unit. All of them could use a good remodeling. In the last three years there have been sales in the $1,200,000 to $1,350,000 range for high floor units. See the attached market analysis for more detailed market information.
