Frequntly Asked Questions:
1. Is Atkinson Towers a Cooperative or a Condominium?
95%+ of the units have already been converted to Condominium, but 6 of the units are still known at Co-op, so the project is known as ″Mixed-use″ building. Unit #604 is a Condominium.
2. What about the views?
The swimming pool, the Ala Wai Canal, and there is a peek of the Ocean which can be seen from the Living and Dining areas.
The mountains, surrounding buildings and the Ala Wai Canal been seen from the outside walkway.
3. What about financing?
Credit Unions, Central Pacific Bank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and most of the Mainland Banks/Lenders won't write a mortgage on Atkinson Towers,
because it's a ″Mixed-use″ project (Coops and Condos) and the parking lot is ″Leasehold″. But, Bank of Hawaii
First Hawaiian Bank and City Bank will write a ″Portfolio″ loan at 20%-25% down for Owner Residents, and higher for Investors. The Owner
will take a look/consider Seller's: financing with 10% down, 10 years term, 5% interest rate.
4. Future?
There is a good chance, over the next 3-4 years, all the Co-op stockholders will convert to Condominium, and the building will NOT be a mixed-use project. All the financing will go back to Conventional (FHA, VA, etc.).
5. What have been the last sales in Atkinson Towers as comps?
Unit #706 at $265K; Unit #507 at $277K; Unit #1404 at $310K; Unit #807 at $320K; and Unit #306 at $348K.
6. What is included in the Maintenance Fees?
Building/flood/fire insurance, Maintenance Manager and staff, water, electric, sewage, elevator maintenance and waste/trash removable contracts, and basic TV cable. The electricity (HECO) is not included for Unit #604.
7. What about air conditioning?
It is possible to install A/C, with a split system, and/or portable window units, with AOAU approval.
8. Why are the owners selling this condo?
The Owner is about to retire from the USA Navy and wants to live on the North Shore with his new wife, and now owns a dog.
