Building Features & Data Confidence

Across 48 listings for 1717 Ala Wai, none of the remarks explicitly mention the building’s construction date or phrases like 'built in' or 'constructed in.' The comments instead focus on upgrades and age-related work, e.g., 'stands out among older condos' and 'maintenance upgrades consistent with the age of the building,' but provide no specific year. Because 0 of 48 listings state a year built, there is no direct support or contradiction for 1970. The absence of any explicit year reference leaves the declared 1970 date unverified, so it remains plausible but unconfirmed.
Among 48 listings, 2 explicitly reference the 31st floor. One penthouse listing states it is on the '31st floor' and another describes a 'Fantastic Corner Penthouse! This top-floor residence' without giving a number. Together, these indicate that the 31st floor is the top residential level. No listing mentions any higher floor such as '32nd floor' or describes the building as having more than 31 stories, and no remarks contradict this. While most listings are silent on total floors, the explicit penthouse-on-31st-floor evidence strongly supports the declared value of 31, with only minor caveats about possible non-residential roof/mechanical levels.
Across 48 listings for 1717 Ala Wai, none of the remarks explicitly state the total number of units in the building. I searched for phrases like '109-unit building', 'one of 109 units', or similar, but found no such references; remarks focus instead on amenities, upgrades, insurance, and assessments (e.g., 'heated salt water pool', '100% hurricane insurance', 'special assessment until 2028'). Because 0 of 48 listings mention any building unit count, there is no direct support or contradiction for the declared value of 283 units. Thus, the accuracy of 283 remains unverified and must be treated as uncertain.
Searched the public remarks for explicit owner-occupancy percentages or descriptors (e.g., '80% owner occupied', 'majority owner occupied') and found none. Per numeric-field rules, kept the current value of 56.00 with low confidence and noted there is no evidence in the remarks to confirm or deny this percentage.
Remarks repeatedly describe elevator modernization/upgrades, confirming elevator work was done, but no remark gives a number of elevators. Per numeric-field rules, retained the current value of 3 with low confidence because there is no explicit numeric statement in the public remarks.
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.
Across 48 listings, several explicitly detail what HOA fees include, but none mention central air conditioning being covered. One listing states, 'HOA fees cover hot and cold water, internet, and a full digital cable package,' with no reference to AC. Multiple units highlight individual systems like 'Mitsubishi split AC system' or 'NEW BREAKER BOX AND AC WINDOW UNIT INSTALLED,' implying owner-installed, unit-specific cooling rather than a central building system included in fees. No remarks say 'central AC included' or similar. With 0 of 48 listings indicating AC in the maintenance fee and several implying self-contained AC, the evidence strongly supports the declared value of False, though absence of a full HOA breakdown in every listing leaves a small margin of uncertainty.
Multiple listings mark cable TV as included, and one agent clearly writes that the HOA covers a full digital cable package. With 16/20 MLS entries showing CABTV and explicit written confirmation, cable service is very likely included in the maintenance fees building-wide.
A majority of listings (12/20) indicate common area electricity is included in HOA fees. Combined with typical Hawaii condo practices and no remarks pointing to separate billing, common area electricity is very likely covered by the maintenance fee.
Across 48 listings, none mention 'coop taxes included,' 'cooperative taxes,' or any similar phrase. Instead, multiple remarks explicitly describe the property as a 'condo' or 'condominium,' e.g., 'This tastefully upgraded 2 bed condo' and 'two-full-bath condominium,' indicating a condominium, not a cooperative. Several listings detail what HOA fees cover, such as 'HOA fees cover hot and cold water, internet, and a full digital cable package,' but none add co-op tax coverage. There is no conflicting evidence suggesting co-op status or co-op tax inclusion. Given this consistent silence and condo language in all units, the declared value of False for fee_inc_coop_taxes is well supported, with the caveat that absence of mention is not absolute proof.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly state that electricity is included in the maintenance fee. One listing details that 'HOA fees cover hot and cold water, internet, and a full digital cable package' but does not mention power, which strongly implies electricity is separate. Several listings mention only the total maintenance fee or special assessment amounts without itemizing utilities, and no remarks say 'electricity included' or similar. With 0 of 48 listings supporting inclusion and no contradictory claims, the evidence supports the declared value of False, though absence of a full HOA breakdown leaves a small margin of uncertainty.
Across 48 listings, only 1 explicitly details what HOA fees include: it states, 'The HOA fees cover hot and cold water, internet, and a full digital cable package' and later mentions 'gas grills' as an amenity, not as a utility. No listing says 'gas included' or that gas is part of the maintenance fee. The remaining 47 listings are silent on gas in fees, despite often listing covered items like insurance or internet. There is no contradictory evidence suggesting gas is included. This strongly supports the declared value of False, with the caveat that silence is not absolute proof.
Most listings (17 of 20) have HOTWAT checked in association fee includes, and one remark explicitly states "HOA fees cover hot and cold water, internet, and a full digital cable package." Two listings show WTRHTR in inclusions in MLS property fields, but public remarks and the strong majority of association_fee_includes entries support that hot water is included in the HOA.
Several agents check the internet-included box, and one listing clearly confirms that internet is paid through the HOA. This combination of checkbox data and explicit wording makes it very likely that internet service is included in the maintenance fee.
Across 48 listings, none mention a marina, boat slips, or marina access being included in the HOA or maintenance fees. Remarks repeatedly highlight what is covered, such as 'HOA fees cover hot and cold water, internet, and a full digital cable package' and emphasize amenities like 'heated salt water pool, jacuzzi, fitness room, sauna' and 'BBQ area, recreation deck' but never reference any marina-related benefit. Zero of 48 listings contradict this by suggesting marina inclusion. This consistent silence, despite detailed fee and amenity descriptions, strongly supports the declared value of False, with no evident caveats.
Every recent listing marks sewer as included in the association fees, with no text suggesting otherwise. This consistent building-wide data strongly supports that sewer service is included in the maintenance fee.
All listings show WATER in the fee-includes field, and one agent directly confirms that both hot and cold water are covered by HOA fees. Evidence across many listings and explicit wording makes water inclusion in maintenance fees almost certain.
Very consistent evidence: over two dozen listings reference on-site grilling amenities with phrases such as 'BBQ area', 'recreation deck BBQ area', and 'barbeque area'. These repeated, building-level mentions from multiple listings corroborate the historical HIGH-confidence MLS data.
In the remarks, at least 1 of 48 listings explicitly mentions bike-related storage: the final listing states the building has 'surfboard & bicycle storage, etc.' This is a clear, direct reference to dedicated bicycle storage facilities. No listings contradict this by saying bike storage is absent; others are simply silent on the feature while mentioning general 'storage locker' or 'storage unit' options. Because there is explicit evidence in 1 of 48 listings and no conflicting statements, the declared value of False is refuted. The building does appear to offer bike storage, though details on capacity and access are not provided.
Across 48 listings, none mention any marina, slip, or 'boat dock' access, despite frequent references to water features and nearby boating areas. Remarks repeatedly highlight views of the 'Ala Wai Canal' and proximity to 'Waikiki Yacht Club' and 'marina view' but never state that residents can dock boats on-site. Amenities are consistently listed as 'pool, jacuzzi, sauna, BBQ, fitness room, recreation deck' and similar, with 0 of 48 units adding docks or moorings. There is no conflicting evidence suggesting boat facilities. This strong, consistent omission supports the declared value of False, with the caveat that off-site docks nearby are common in this area.
Moderate but consistent evidence: at least a few listings explicitly mention a 'car wash' or 'designated car wash space' as a building amenity (e.g., 'designated car wash space', 'car wash'). This matches the MLS checkbox occurrences (CRWSH) and supports inclusion for buyers searching for this amenity.
Across 48 listings, amenities are repeatedly detailed but none mention a clubhouse or club house. Common phrases include “recreation deck which includes a heated salt water pool, jacuzzi and BBQ area,” “resort-style amenities including a pool, jacuzzi, sauna, BBQ area, gym,” and “pool, spa, barbeque area, gym, library, security personnel,” but never “clubhouse,” “club house,” or “community center.” At least 20+ listings enumerate amenities in depth, yet omit any club facility. No listing provides conflicting evidence. This consistent silence strongly supports the declared value of False, though it remains possible a small informal room exists but is not marketed.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention a concierge or front desk service. Instead, many listings emphasize security without concierge, using phrases like 'secured entry with on-site security,' '24-hour security,' 'security personnel at the front door,' and 'key fob entry and security at the front lobby' (appearing in at least 8 of 48 listings). One listing notes a 'reception area and on-site security,' but does not describe staffed concierge services such as package handling or resident assistance. No remarks reference a 'concierge' or 'front desk service.' This consistent pattern supports the declared value of False, with the caveat that a basic reception/security desk might exist but not function as a true concierge.
Across 48 listings, amenities are described in detail—'heated salt water pool, hot tub, BBQ area and exercise room,' 'fitness room, sauna,' 'recreation deck with barbecue areas,' and similar phrases appear repeatedly. None of the 48 listings mention a 'dog park,' 'dog run,' 'pet area,' or any dedicated dog exercise space. Pets are referenced only in terms of policy, e.g., 'Cat and service dog friendly' and 'Dogs must be registered service/support animals,' but never alongside a physical pet facility. There is no conflicting evidence. This consistent silence on a commonly marketed feature supports the declared value of False, with the caveat that an unadvertised informal area could exist but is unlikely.
Across 48 listings, several explicitly reference staffed security or front presence but none mention a traditional doorman. At least 6 listings note '24-hour security' or '24/7 on-site security' and others mention 'security personnel' or 'security at the front door' and 'security at the front lobby.' One listing says 'secured entry with on-site security' and another 'secured high-rise building with on-site security and a resident manager.' No listing uses the terms 'doorman' or 'door attendant,' and there is no conflicting evidence. This strongly supports the declared value of False, with the caveat that robust security staff might function similarly in practice.
Strong evidence across the compiled remarks: more than two dozen listings explicitly mention a fitness facility using phrases like 'fitness room', 'fully-equipped gym', 'exercise room', or 'gym'. Mentions appear across multiple agents/ads and align with the prior HIGH-confidence MLS checkbox data, indicating a building-level shared exercise room.
Across 48 listings, amenities are described in detail—'pool, hot tub, sauna, BBQ area, recreation deck,' 'gym, library, security,' and 'car wash'—but there are zero mentions of any limo, limousine, or car service. Many units repeat long amenity lists (at least 20+ listings) including guest parking, storage, security, and even niche items like 'book nook' and 'surfboard & bicycle storage,' yet none add limo-related services. No listing suggests valet, chauffeur, or shuttle service, and there is no conflicting evidence. This consistent silence, despite exhaustive amenity descriptions, strongly supports the declared value of false, with minimal caveats that an unadvertised service could exist but is unlikely.
Across 48 listings, amenities are described in detail, repeatedly mentioning a 'pool, hot tub, sauna, BBQ area, recreation deck, fitness room, gym, library, book nook' and similar features. One listing notes 'library, 24-hour security, and a fully upgraded recreation deck,' another mentions a 'book nook' and others refer to a 'lounge' or 'reception area.' However, none of the 48 listings explicitly mention a 'meeting room,' 'conference room,' 'board room,' or 'community room.' There is no conflicting evidence suggesting such a space exists. Given this consistent silence, the declared value of True is not supported, though absence of mention is not absolute proof of absence.
Multiple recent listings for 1717 Ala Wai explicitly mention private lanais or decks, using phrases like “inviting lanai,” “open lanai perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktails,” “wraparound lanai,” and “147 sq ft open lanai.” In addition, many listings describe an upgraded recreation deck with pool, jacuzzi, BBQ area, and outdoor lounging space. Combined with MLS data showing 15 of 20 listings checking patio/deck fields, this is strong multi-agent evidence that the building offers patio/deck amenities.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention a dedicated jogging or walking path as a building amenity. Amenities are repeatedly described as 'heated salt water pool, jacuzzi, BBQ area, fitness room, sauna' and similar, with 20+ listings using nearly identical amenity lists. Several listings highlight proximity to Ala Moana Beach Park and the Ala Wai Canal for recreation, e.g., 'Easy walk to Ala Moana Beach Park' and 'enjoy views of the Ala Wai Canal,' but never state an on-site 'jogging path' or 'running trail.' There is no conflicting evidence suggesting such a feature exists. Given this consistent silence and detailed amenity descriptions, the declared value of False is well supported, with the caveat that nearby public paths are available but not part of the condo complex.
Across 48 listings, amenities are described in detail—'recreation deck which includes a heated salt water pool, jacuzzi and BBQ area,' plus repeated mentions of 'pool, hot tub, sauna, BBQ area, fitness room' and similar. None of the 48 listings mention a 'playground,' 'tot lot,' or 'children's play area,' even when highlighting family-suitable aspects like 'great for families' or 'safe floor for children and pets.' There is no conflicting evidence suggesting a playground exists. This consistent silence, despite exhaustive amenity lists, strongly supports the declared value of False, though it remains possible a very small or informal play space goes unmentioned.
Across 48 listings, none mention a 'private yard,' 'fenced yard,' or similar terms; instead, outdoor space is consistently described as 'lanai,' 'wraparound lanai,' or 'recreation deck' (e.g., '100 sq ft open lanai,' 'spacious lanai provides captivating, panoramic ocean, city, canal, and mountain views'). Amenities repeatedly include pool, hot tub, sauna, BBQ, and deck, but never any yard or ground-level private outdoor area. With 0 of 48 listings referencing a yard and no contradictory evidence, the corpus strongly supports the declared value of False, though silence cannot absolutely rule out a rare, unmentioned yard configuration.
Across 48 listings, amenities are described in detail—'heated salt water pool, jacuzzi and BBQ area,' 'fitness room, sauna,' 'library,' 'book nook,' and 'recreation deck'—but none mention any form of 'putting green,' 'golf putting green,' or similar facility. I counted 0 of 48 listings referencing a putting green, despite many repeating long amenity lists. No listing hints at golf-related practice areas, and there is no contradictory evidence suggesting one exists. This consistent silence, given otherwise exhaustive amenity descriptions, strongly supports the declared value of False, with minimal caveats.
Many separate listings describe a substantial shared recreation space, using phrases like 'recreation deck', 'refreshed rec deck & pool', 'upgraded recreation deck', and 'recreation deck renovations'. These decks are described as hosting the pool, BBQs, whirlpool/jacuzzi, and seating/cabana areas, clearly indicating a dedicated recreation area for residents. The recurrence of 'recreation deck' across numerous agents confirms this as a key building feature.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention a 'recreation room,' 'rec room,' 'game room,' or similar indoor multi-purpose/entertainment room. Amenities are repeatedly detailed as 'recreation deck,' 'heated salt water pool, jacuzzi and BBQ area,' plus 'sauna,' 'fitness room/gym,' 'library/book nook,' and 'club room' (1 listing: 'gym, and club room'). While the recreation deck and club room are recreational, no listing calls any space a dedicated recreation room. With 0 of 48 listings naming this feature and no contradictions, the evidence does not support the declared value of True; at best it remains unproven.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention an on-site or in-building restaurant, café, or dining facility. References to food are always external, such as being 'close to parks, shopping, restaurants' or 'walking distance from ... restaurants, nightlife' and 'close to world famous beaches, shopping, restaurants.' At least 15 listings use this kind of proximity language, but zero describe amenities like 'on-site restaurant' or 'in-building café.' No remarks contradict this by implying internal dining services. The consistent silence on an amenity that is typically highlighted if present strongly supports the declared value of False, though it remains possible but unlikely that a very small food service exists but is not marketed.
Across 48 listings, none mention any rooftop-related features such as a 'rooftop deck,' 'roof terrace,' or 'rooftop amenities.' Instead, amenities are consistently described as being on a 'recreation deck' with 'heated salt water pool, jacuzzi and BBQ area' or similar wording (appearing in at least 20 of 48 listings). Several listings repeat this same amenity set without adding any rooftop access. No remarks hint at roof-level common areas or views specifically from a rooftop. This uniform, detailed amenity description, combined with total silence on rooftop features, supports the declared value of False, though absence of mention is not absolute proof.
Strong corroboration: many listings explicitly include 'sauna', 'dry sauna' or 'sauna room' alongside other spa/fitness amenities. The repeated, building-level references across agents align with prior HIGH-confidence MLS data, supporting inclusion.
Building-level and unit-level storage is repeatedly referenced: MLS checkbox data previously showed 14/20 listings with storage and 12/20 with unit storage, and current public remarks across multiple listings explicitly mention 'storage locker', 'storage unit', or 'extra storage next to parking'. Evidence is consistent across many agent remarks (not a single isolated mention), so confidence is high that the building offers storage/lockers.
The public remarks explicitly confirm dedicated surfboard storage (often listed alongside bicycle storage), verifying the presence of surfboard storage facilities in the building.
Across 48 listings, amenities are described in detail, repeatedly listing features such as 'heated salt water pool, jacuzzi and BBQ area,' 'sauna, gym, library,' and 'recreation deck upgrades' but never once mentioning any 'tennis court' or similar facility. At least 20+ listings provide long amenity lists (pool, hot tub, fitness room, BBQ, car wash, library, security, etc.) with no reference to tennis. No listing suggests off-site or shared tennis facilities, and there is no conflicting evidence. Given the thorough amenity descriptions and consistent silence on tennis, the declared value of False is strongly supported, with only a minor caveat that unlisted features are always theoretically possible.
Across dozens of detailed listings describing plumbing retrofits, waste line replacements, and many building amenities, there are zero references to any trash or garbage chute system. Given the strong tendency for agents to market convenient features like trash chutes when present, this persistent omission—despite MLS boxes being checked—suggests the checkbox data is unreliable. The evidence indicates the building likely does not have a shared trash chute system, so it is omitted here.
Across 48 listings, none mention any form of valet or valet parking. Instead, parking is consistently described as self-parking with phrases like '1 covered assigned parking stall,' 'one uncovered parking space,' and 'basement parking garage' (appearing in at least 15 of 48 listings). Amenities are repeatedly listed in detail—'pool, hot tub, sauna, BBQ area, fitness room, 24-hour security, guest parking'—yet valet is never included. No listing contains the word 'valet' or suggests staffed parking services. This uniform silence, despite extensive amenity descriptions, strongly supports the declared value of False, with no contradictory evidence found.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention any kind of perimeter 'wall' or 'fence' around the property. The remarks focus on views, amenities, and building upgrades, with repeated phrases like 'secured entry with on-site security,' 'key fob entry,' and 'secure, well-maintained high-rise,' but never 'gated,' 'fenced,' or 'walled.' At least 10 listings describe security features (e.g., 'secured building with great amenities'), yet still omit any wall/fence reference. There is no conflicting evidence suggesting a perimeter fence. This consistent silence supports the declared value of False, though absence of mention is not absolute proof.
Clear, repeated evidence: well over a dozen listings explicitly reference a 'hot tub', 'jacuzzi', or 'whirlpool' (phrases like 'heated saltwater pool, whirlpool and BBQ area', 'jacuzzi', 'hot tub'). Mentions are widespread across listings and consistent with prior HIGH-confidence MLS data.
All current listings (20/20) mention a building pool; common phrases include "heated saltwater pool," "heated salt water pool," "large remodeled swimming pool," and "recreation deck which includes the pool." Evidence is consistent across many agents and listings (some language appears copy-pasted), and several remarks add detail about a remodeled/heated saltwater pool, supporting high confidence that the building has a shared swimming pool.
Confidence 99%: Multiple remarks explicitly describe a "heated salt water pool" or "heated pool," and 13/20 MLS entries check HEAPOO in amenities.
The listings repeatedly and explicitly describe the building pool as a heated saltwater pool, confirming a saltwater system for the swimming pool.
Strong, building-level evidence that some units include in-unit laundry: 18 of the recent listings explicitly mention washer/dryer in the unit, with representative quotes such as "in-unit washer and dryer", "full-size W/D", and "Washer and dryer in the unit." Mentions appear across multiple agent listings (not limited to a single repeated blurb), indicating this is a real, widely-offered feature in the building.
Across 48 listings, laundry is consistently described as being inside each unit, not shared. Multiple remarks explicitly state 'Washer and dryer in-unit' or 'Full-size, side-by-side washer/dryer' and similar phrases like 'full-size in-unit W/D' and 'washer and dryer in the unit' (at least 10+ listings). No listing mentions 'community laundry,' 'shared laundry,' a 'laundry room,' or any coin-operated/common laundry facilities. There is no contradictory evidence suggesting shared laundry. Given the repeated in-unit laundry references and total silence on common laundry, the declared value of True for community_laundry is not supported, though the building may coincidentally also have such facilities unadvertised.
Remarks discuss in-unit washers/dryers and building laundry was not described as coin-op or requiring payment. I looked for indicators of paid community laundry (coin-op, card, quarters, paid laundry) and found no references, so paid community laundry is unlikely based on available public remarks.
Public remarks repeatedly reference in-unit washers/dryers and storage but contain no statements indicating laundry rooms on every floor. I searched the entire remarks text for explicit language (e.g., 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor') and found none. Absence of mention makes this feature unlikely.
Across the 48 listings, at least 24 explicitly reference parking, strongly indicating building-wide availability. Examples include: '2/2/1 unit... parking space', 'secure parking', 'One covered, assigned parking stall', and '1 covered parking close to storage unit.' Several note guest parking: '8 guest parking stalls' and 'ample guest parking.' One listing mentions 'one uncovered parking space' while most specify covered stalls, but this is not contradictory—just variation in stall type. No listing states parking is unavailable. The consistent, explicit mentions across many units support the declared value of True, with minimal caveats.
Assigned parking is consistently represented: 13 of 20 current MLS listings include ASSIGN in parking_features and numerous remarks explicitly state phrases like 'assigned parking stall', 'designated parking', or 'one covered assigned parking stall'. Evidence appears across many agent listings (not limited to a single copy/paste), supporting high confidence that the building offers assigned parking stalls.
Covered parking is well-supported: 13 of 20 current MLS listings include covered parking codes and numerous remarks state 'covered parking stall', '1 covered parking', or 'covered storage in the basement parking garage'. Multiple listings across different agents mention covered stalls (including quotes like 'One covered, assigned parking stall' and 'includes one covered parking spot'), giving strong evidence the building offers covered parking.
There are multiple references to assigned/covered parking stalls and storage next to parking, but no explicit language that parking is deeded/owned with the unit was found in the public remarks.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention EV charging, EV stations, or similar terms. Parking is repeatedly described only as '1 covered assigned parking stall,' 'basement parking garage,' or with features like 'car wash' and 'designated car wash space,' but never 'EV charging' or 'charging stations.' At least 10 listings detail amenities extensively—'heated salt water pool, whirlpool, BBQ and fitness center,' 'surfboard & bicycle storage'—yet still omit any EV-related feature. There is no contradictory evidence suggesting EV chargers exist. Given this consistent silence, the declared value of False is well supported, though absence of mention is not absolute proof.
Searched for 'monthly parking fee', 'parking charge', '$', and other parking cost language; no parking fee amount or rental fee was referenced in the public remarks.
Guest parking is a well-established amenity at this building. Numerous listings state there are '8 guest parking stalls' and several others highlight 'guest parking' or 'ample guest parking' at the front of the building, confirming that visitor stalls are available for residents' guests.
Across the 48 listings, at least 6 explicitly mention secure building or parking access. Two listings state 'secure parking' as an amenity, while others note 'secure entry and elevator access with 24/7 on site security,' 'secured entry with on-site security,' and 'key fob entry and security at the front door.' One listing calls it a 'secured high-rise building' and another a 'secured building' with cameras. No listings contradict or suggest open, unsecured parking. Although not every remark ties security directly to the garage, repeated references to secure parking and controlled entry strongly refute the declared value of False, with only minor caveats about exact access mechanisms.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention tandem or back-to-back parking. Instead, many listings clearly describe standard single stalls, e.g., '1 covered, assigned parking stall very, very close to the building entry' and '2bed/2bath/1covered parking' and 'one covered assigned parking stall and individual storage space.' At least 15 listings reference parking in this singular, non-tandem way, and several add details like proximity to storage, implying individual spaces. No remarks suggest shared or tandem configurations, and there is no conflicting evidence. This consistent silence on tandem parking, combined with repeated emphasis on single assigned stalls, supports the declared value of False, though it cannot absolutely rule out rare tandem arrangements for a few units.
Across 48 listings, none mention any form of valet parking or valet service. Parking is consistently described as self-park, e.g., 'one covered, assigned parking stall,' '1 covered parking and 1 storage locker,' and 'one uncovered parking space and a covered storage area.' Several listings highlight other services like 'on-site security,' 'security personnel at the front door,' and 'reception area,' but never attendants for cars. No listing suggests attended or valet-style parking, and there is no conflicting evidence. This strong, repeated silence on valet parking supports the declared value of False, though it remains possible but unlikely that an unadvertised valet option exists.
Searched for 'waitlist', 'waiting list', and related phrases; remarks describe assigned parking and guest stalls but do not mention a waitlist system.
Across 48 listings, several explicitly describe building security but only 3 mention elevator access details. One listing notes 'secure entry and elevator access with 24/7 on site security,' another says 'secure entry and elevator access with 24/7 on-site security,' and a third references 'secure entry and elevator access with 24/7 on site security' or similar phrasing, but none specify a 'keyed elevator,' 'key fob elevator,' or restricted floor access. Multiple listings mention 'key fob entry' or 'secured building' at the lobby level only. No remarks contradict this by describing keyed elevator controls. Given the consistent silence on keyed elevator mechanisms and only generic security language, the evidence supports the declared value of False, with the caveat that elevator access could still be controlled in ways not advertised.
Listings explicitly describe electronic access via key fob/keyless entry and secure entry at the lobby, indicating card/fob access security is in place.
Historical MLS checkbox data indicates 18 of 20 listings included SECGUA, and the current public remarks consistently confirm staffed security. Multiple listings explicitly state phrases like "24-hour security," "24/7 on-site security," "security personnel," "on-site security," and "security at the front door," indicating strong, corroborating evidence from many agents rather than a single copy/paste instance.
Public remarks repeatedly mention on-site security personnel and 24-hour security presence, implying active security staffing/patrols at the building.
Evidence for video or camera-based security is strong. At least 2 of 48 listings explicitly mention cameras, e.g., one states the 'secured building features security cameras throughout,' and another notes 'secured entry with on-site security.' Several more reference controlled access like 'secure entry and elevator access with 24/7 on site security,' 'key fob entry,' and 'security at the front door,' which typically rely on video/CCTV systems. No listings contradict or deny the presence of video security; some are simply silent. With multiple explicit mentions and no conflicts, the declared value of True is well supported, though not every listing details the system.
Across 48 listings, none mention 'central AC,' 'central air,' or similar building-wide HVAC. Instead, several units explicitly reference individual systems: one notes 'Mitsubishi split AC system throughout the entire apartment,' another mentions 'dual split A/C units,' and others cite 'window AC' or 'NEW BREAKER BOX AND AC WINDOW UNIT INSTALLED' and 'newer window AC unit in the main living area' (at least 5 of 48 listings). Many emphasize 'natural breezes' or 'trade winds' to stay cool. There is no contradictory claim of central air. This consistent pattern strongly supports the declared value of False, though silence in some listings leaves a small possibility of partial building upgrades.
In the 48-listing corpus, I found 3 explicit mentions of split systems. One listing states, “Stay cool year-round with a Mitsubishi split AC system throughout the entire apartment!” and another notes “dual split A/C units,” while a third references “Mitsubishi split AC system throughout the entire apartment!” (duplicated listing text). Several other listings instead mention “window AC” or “NEW BREAKER BOX AND AC WINDOW UNIT INSTALLED,” indicating some units still use window units. Most listings are silent on AC type. Despite this mix, the clear presence of multiple split systems supports the declared True value, though it may not be universal to every unit.
Multiple recent listings for 1717 Ala Wai explicitly mention window units, e.g., 'window AC,' 'AC WINDOW UNIT INSTALLED,' and 'The main living area features a newer window AC unit for added comfort.' Combined with 7 of 20 MLS entries carrying the ACWIUN inclusion code and prior high-confidence data, this strongly indicates that window AC units are present in some units in the building. Evidence comes from several different units/agents rather than a single repeated description, so it is unlikely to be copy-paste error.
MLS checkbox data shows 17 of 20 recent listings mark construction as CONCRE (reinforced concrete). Public remarks across these listings do not explicitly mention 'concrete,' but the very high and consistent selection of CONCRE by multiple agents (across many listings) and prior high historical confidence make it highly likely the building is concrete-constructed. No single-agent remark appears to contradict this; evidence is strong though mostly from MLS checkbox fields rather than narrative remarks.
MLS checkbox data for double-wall construction is minimal and inconsistent (just 3/20 listings) and appears as isolated entries rather than a building-wide consensus. Dozens of agent remarks describing structure, upgrades, and maintenance never reference double-wall construction, so this feature is not treated as present at the building level.
Historical research and the current remarks set show no references at all to hollow tile, despite dozens of detailed descriptions of building upgrades and repairs. With just 1 of 20 listings ticking HOLTIL against this backdrop, hollow-tile construction is almost certainly not a feature of this building.
Across 48 listings, none mention 'masonry,' 'stucco,' or related phrases; remarks focus instead on upgrades like 'spalling, plumbing, elevators, recreation deck' and 'painting and spalling has been completed.' At least 10 of 48 listings reference spalling or concrete-related repairs (e.g., 'tower spalling and painting,' 'P-2 parking deck spalling repairs'), which strongly implies a reinforced-concrete high-rise rather than masonry-and-stucco construction. No listing contradicts this by stating the building is masonry or stucco. Given this consistent silence plus concrete-focused language, the declared value of False is supported, though not absolutely proven.
Across 48 listings for 1717 Ala Wai, none explicitly mention 'steel frame' or 'steel frame construction.' The remarks focus on other structural or building aspects such as 're-piped plumbing,' 'spalling repairs,' 'waste line replacement,' and being '100% hurricane insured,' but never identify the framing material. I counted 0 of 48 listings with any direct steel-frame reference. There is also no contradictory claim like 'concrete frame' or 'wood frame.' Given this complete silence on steel framing, the declared value of False is supported, though the absence of evidence is not absolute proof of non-steel construction.
Neither historical nor current remarks explicitly describe a concrete slab or slab foundation, even in very detailed discussions of building work, and 17/20 current MLS entries leave SLAB unchecked. Because the scant MLS support is inconsistent and uncorroborated by remarks, slab construction is not confirmed and is treated as not present for feature-search purposes.

Across 48 listings for 1717 Ala Wai, none explicitly mention 'wood frame' or 'wood frame construction.' Instead, multiple listings repeatedly describe it as a 'secure, well-maintained high-rise' and 'secured high-rise building,' language typically associated with concrete/steel structures in Waikiki. Several remarks reference extensive spalling, plumbing retrofits, and parking deck repairs, e.g., 'tower spalling and painting' and 'P-2 parking deck spalling repairs,' which strongly imply reinforced concrete rather than wood. No listing (0 of 48) provides any indication of wood framing, and there is no conflicting evidence. Given the consistent high-rise characterization and concrete-related maintenance, the declared value of False for wood-frame construction is well supported, though the absence of an explicit statement about structural material leaves a small residual uncertainty.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention 'above ground construction,' 'above ground building,' or specific above-ground materials. The remarks focus on views and height, e.g., 'high-floor unit,' 'Perched on the 31st floor,' and 'secured high-rise building,' but these describe story count and vistas, not construction type. Zero of 48 listings provide direct evidence about whether the structure is above ground in the sense required. No contradictory statements appear. Because the corpus is entirely silent on this feature, the declared value of False is neither confirmed nor refuted. Thus, the status remains uncertain, with low-to-moderate confidence.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention brick construction or a brick exterior. The remarks focus on views, amenities, and building upgrades such as 're-piped plumbing, elevator modernization, & a refreshed rec deck & pool' and repeated references to 'spalling, plumbing, elevators, recreation deck' and painting. These indicate a typical reinforced-concrete high-rise rather than a brick building. Zero of 48 listings use terms like 'brick exterior' or 'brick-and-mortar construction,' and there is no conflicting evidence suggesting brick. Given this consistent silence on brick and emphasis on concrete-related repairs, the declared value of False is well supported, with the caveat that absence of mention is not absolute proof.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention 'single wall construction,' 'single wall,' or similar phrases. Instead, several remarks emphasize substantial structural and systems upgrades, such as 're-piped plumbing, elevator modernization, & a refreshed rec deck' and 'waste line replacement, P-2 parking deck spalling repairs and coating, new railing around the building.' Multiple listings (at least 10 of 48) describe the property as a 'secure, well-maintained high-rise' or 'recently renovated, sought after building,' which strongly implies conventional concrete/steel construction typical of Waikiki high-rises rather than older single-wall wood. No listing suggests traditional Hawaiian single-wall style, and there is no conflicting evidence. Given this consistent silence on single-wall construction and repeated high-rise framing cues, the declared value of False is well supported, though absolute confirmation would require building plans or permits.
Reviewed all remarks for short-term rental (STR) language and found none. Absence of STR-specific permissions or hotel/TVU/NUC references leads to treating STR as not allowed (medium confidence).
Searched for hotel rental pool/program language (e.g., 'hotel rental pool', 'managed by hotel', brand names) and found none. Because STR is not indicated as allowed, hotel-rental-pool participation is considered false.
Searched for 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or 'cannot opt out' language and found none. Given no STR/hotel-pool evidence and no mention of mandatory participation, this is false.
Across 48 listings for 1717 Ala Wai, none of the remarks explicitly mention land tenure as “fee simple,” “FS,” “leasehold,” “LH,” “owns land,” or similar phrases. The text focuses on views, amenities, insurance, and special assessments, with quotes like “1717 Ala Wai stands out from other buildings” and “building has completed major projects,” but never addresses ownership of the underlying land. Because 0 of 48 listings reference tenure at all, there is no direct evidence that any unit is Fee Simple. With no contradictory mentions either, the declared value of True is not supported by the remarks alone, so it must be treated as unverified and likely false based on this corpus.
Across 48 listings, none of the remarks explicitly mention leasehold-related terms such as 'leasehold', 'LH', 'land lease', 'lease rent', or any lease expiration dates. All descriptions focus on upgrades, amenities, assessments, and insurance, with quotes like '1717 Ala Wai stands out' and 'well-managed building' but never reference land tenure. There is no conflicting evidence suggesting any unit is leasehold. Because 0 of 48 listings indicate leasehold and such a material fact is typically disclosed, the evidence strongly supports the declared value of False, with the caveat that tenure is inferred from silence in remarks only.
Searched for phrases like 'lease expires 2050', 'land lease', 'leasehold', and explicit years; found no reference to land lease or lease expiry in the public remarks.
Remarks explicitly state a VA assumable loan at 2.25% is available and open to non-VA buyers, which directly indicates the building/unit is VA loan approved.
Numerous listings explicitly state the building carries 100% hurricane insurance / is fully insured (e.g., 'the building is 100% insured for hurricane coverage'), consistently indicating walls-in/full building insurance. This provides high confidence that the building is fully insured by the HOA.
Across 48 listings, 2 explicitly address sprinklers. One states: 'NOTE: Sprinklers system not mandated to be installed as Building has Powerful Fire Hoses on Each Floor' and another repeats, 'Sprinklers system not mandated to be installed. Building has powerful fire hoses on each floor.' No listing claims sprinklers are present, and the remaining 46 are silent on this feature while detailing many other building upgrades, suggesting the absence is meaningful. There is no contradictory evidence. This strongly supports the declared value of False, though building codes could change in the future.
I searched the remarks for phrases like 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE', 'passed fire inspection', and related terms and found no explicit mention. Because there is no current value and no explicit positive statement in the remarks, this field is set to false with medium confidence (absence in remarks suggests no documented FLSE pass).
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Many listings mention ocean or water views — examples include “sparkling ocean,” “peek-a-boo ocean view,” and “panoramic views of the ocean.” These references appear repeatedly across the provided listing remarks (dozens of mentions across the multiple listings), from multiple agents and on high-floor/corner units, indicating the building offers ocean-view units.
Multiple listings highlight mountain-facing vistas, mentioning “majestic Koolau mountains,” “mountain…views,” and “mountain range” from both high- and mid-floor units. These recurring references across different units and agents confirm that some stacks in 1717 Ala Wai enjoy clear mountain views. Buyers wanting mountain vistas can reliably find them in this building.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention a Diamond Head view. View descriptions consistently reference other landmarks: “panoramic views of the ocean, yacht harbor, Ala Wai Canal, and majestic Koolau mountains,” “sweeping city, canal, and ocean views,” and “mountain, canal, and ocean views from your lanai.” One unit notes it is on the “preferred Diamond Head side of the building” but still only lists “ocean, city, canal, and mountain views,” not Diamond Head itself. With 0 of 48 listings citing a Diamond Head view and no contradictory evidence, the declared value of false is well supported, though silence doesn’t absolutely preclude a limited DH view from some stacks.
Numerous listings explicitly state city-related views such as “city skyline,” “city lights,” and “cityscape.” These city-view references appear across many unit remarks, including high-floor and corner units, showing the building provides city-view units and is marketed for its urban outlook.
At least two separate listings advertise “Great Canal & Coastal Views!” and “panoramic…ocean, coastline, canal…” from high-floor, preferred-side units. This indicates that certain orientations in the building capture not just open ocean but the visible coastline/shoreline as well. Buyers specifically searching for coastline views can reasonably expect to find them in select units.
Across 48 listings, views are consistently described as 'ocean, yacht harbor, Ala Wai Canal, and... mountains,' 'city, canal, and ocean views,' or 'panoramic ocean, city, canal, and mountain views.' Several units note 'relax... overlooking the rec deck and Ala Wai canal' or 'Fantastic location with a CANAL VIEW!' but none mention a 'garden view,' 'courtyard view,' or landscaped grounds. I found 0 of 48 listings explicitly referencing any garden-related view. There is no conflicting evidence suggesting garden vistas. Given this uniform emphasis on water, city, and mountain views and total silence on gardens, the declared value of True is not supported, though a small chance remains that minor garden areas exist but are not marketed.
At least one recent listing clearly states panoramic “golf course” views in combination with city and marina vistas, indicating that certain stack orientations capture the Ala Wai Golf Course. Given the building’s canal-front position and that even a subset of higher or correctly oriented units can see the fairways, buyers seeking golf-course views should consider this building.
Multiple listings explicitly use terms like “marina view unit,” “golf course, and marina,” and “yacht harbor,” and many emphasize Ala Wai Canal views from lanais and bedrooms. These consistent descriptions across various units confirm that the building offers true marina/harbor‑type waterway vistas. Buyers seeking marina or canal views will find appropriate units here.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention sunrise views, “morning sun,” or “eastern exposure.” View descriptions focus on “ocean, yacht harbor, Ala Wai Canal, and majestic Koolau mountains,” “sunsets over Ala Moana and Waikiki,” “west facing lanai,” and “ocean sunsets,” all suggesting afternoon or evening light rather than sunrise. At least 4 listings highlight sunsets or west-facing orientation, while 0 of 48 reference sunrise. No remarks contradict this by claiming a sunrise view. Given this consistent emphasis and total silence on sunrise, the declared value of FALSE is well supported, with only the caveat that some units might incidentally see sunrise but it is not a marketed feature.
Multiple listings call out sunsets and evening/western exposures — quotes include “colorful SUNSET skies,” “Enjoy sunsets over Ala Moana and Waikiki,” and “catch a sunset from your spacious Lanai.” These explicit sunset references across several agent remarks indicate the building offers units with sunset views.
Across 48 listings, views are consistently described as 'ocean, yacht harbor, Ala Wai Canal, and mountains,' 'city, canal, and ocean views,' or similar phrases like 'panoramic ocean, coastline, canal, cityscape and mountains.' None of the 48 remarks mention a cemetery, 'cemetery view,' or anything overlooking burial grounds. Several units emphasize being on the 'cooler side' or 'quiet side' with canal and skyline vistas, further reinforcing the dominant view corridors. There is no conflicting or contradictory evidence. Given this complete silence on cemetery views and strong emphasis on alternative views, the declared value of false for view_cemetery is well supported, with only the usual caveat that unmentioned minor views cannot be entirely ruled out.
The remarks mention proximity to the weekly Hilton fireworks but never claim that the building or units offer a view of the fireworks from a lanai or unit. Because the language describes proximity/attraction rather than an explicit in-building/viewing claim, I do not mark this as a fireworks view.

The feature loc_hobron_ena likely indicates a Hobron Lane/entrance-of-Waikiki location. In the 48-listing corpus, at least 6 listings explicitly describe this: e.g., one says the unit is 'at the entrance of Waikiki' and another repeats 'located at the entrance of Waikiki.' Others reinforce this by calling it 'the gateway to Waikiki' or 'on the edge of Waikiki' and noting proximity to Ala Moana and the Convention Center. No listing contradicts this by placing the building deeper inside Waikiki or elsewhere. Many additional remarks emphasize walking access to Ala Moana and beaches, consistent with the Hobron/entrance area. Given multiple explicit confirmations and no conflicts, I judge the declared value True as well supported, with only minor caveat that the exact Hobron label is inferred from context rather than named directly.
Evidence strongly supports pets being allowed. At least 4 of 48 listings explicitly mention pets: one notes 'Safe floor for children and pets,' another states 'Cat and service dog friendly,' and two others specify 'The building allows one pet per household, with dogs requiring registration as service or support animals' and 'PETS:One pet per household. Cats ok. Dogs must be registered service/support animals.' One listing simply says 'Pet friendly.' No listings say 'no pets' or prohibit animals. The repeated, explicit pet policies confirm the declared value of True, with the caveat that dogs must be service/support animals and there is a one-pet limit.
Current and historical evidence strongly support that 1717 Ala Wai has an on-site resident manager. At least 3 separate listings explicitly mention a resident or on-site manager (e.g., 'dedicated in-house residential manager,' 'onsite manager, 24-hour security,' 'resident manager'), and 14 of 20 listings have the RESMAN amenity checked. Combined with prior high-confidence verification, this is strong, consistent confirmation that the building maintains resident/on-site management.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention condotel characteristics such as a 'hotel rental pool,' 'hotel front desk,' 'hotel program,' or the words 'condotel' or 'condo-hotel.' Instead, remarks consistently describe it as a 'secured high-rise' or 'well-managed building' with amenities like 'pool, hot tub, sauna, BBQ area, fitness room, 24-hour security.' Several listings emphasize owner-occupant or investor use, but never hotel-style operations. No listing (0 of 48) contradicts this by referencing hotel management. The uniform silence on hotel operations strongly supports the declared value of false, with no evident caveats beyond the usual possibility of unmentioned private rental arrangements.
Across 48 listings, every remark consistently describes units as 'condo,' 'condominium,' or 'apartment' (e.g., '2 bed condo,' '2-bedroom, 2-bath condo,' '3 bedroom 2 bath upgraded Condo'), with zero mentions of 'co-op,' 'cooperative,' or related ownership structures. At least 15 listings explicitly use the word 'condo' or 'condominium' while discussing fee-based amenities, special assessments, and hurricane insurance typical of condo associations, not co-ops. No listing contradicts this by suggesting cooperative ownership. The complete absence of co-op terminology, combined with repeated condo language, strongly supports the declared value of False, with minimal caveats.
Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
