About 202 Merchant St #2A
Live in a piece of Honolulu history. Unit #2A at 202 Merchant Street is a 987 sq ft, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence within the historic Joseph W. Podmore Building — a two-story cut-stone structure built from native Hawaiian blue-gray basalt, listed on the Hawai'i State Register of Historic Places, and one of only approximately ten surviving cut-stone buildings unique to Hawai'i. Inside, soaring high ceilings amplify the building's grand character, creating an airy, loft-like atmosphere that simply can't be replicated in new construction. As a mixed-use building, Unit #2A offers the flexibility of a true live-work space — whether you're a creative professional, entrepreneur, or remote worker looking to blend home and business in one inspired setting. One covered parking stall is included. Steps from the financial district, Chinatown, waterfront dining, and major transit, everything Honolulu has to offer is right outside your door. A truly one-of-a-kind live-work home in the heart of the city.
