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.
I searched for an exact owner-occupancy figure or wording such as "high owner occupancy" or "majority owner occupied." The remarks do mention uses like primary residence and owner-occupant-friendly language, but that does not provide a verified occupancy percentage. Because there is no explicit evidence, the current value of 56 is kept with low confidence.
I looked for an exact elevator count such as "3 elevators" or "multiple elevators," but the public remarks only describe elevator improvements and modernization. Because there is no explicit count in the remarks, the current value of 3 is retained. The building context with 31 floors makes 3 elevators plausible, but that alone is not enough to change the value.

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.
Cable inclusion is well supported across the listing set. At least 2 remarks explicitly mention cable service being included (e.g., 'Spectrum cable/internet' and 'full digital cable package'), and the MLS data shows CABTV in 16 of 20 listings. This looks like a consistent building-level fee inclusion rather than a one-off agent typo.
Common-area electricity is not confirmed by the public remarks. The MLS data shows OTCOEX in 16/20 listings, but none of the remarks explicitly say common area electric or building power is covered, so the feature should not be treated as firmly validated from remarks alone.
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.
Hot water inclusion is strongly supported by both the MLS data and public remarks. Several listings explicitly say 'MF includes hot/cold water,' and the MLS data shows HOTWAT in 17 of 20 listings, with only one WTRHTR indicator. There is no meaningful evidence suggesting this was changed away from inclusion.
Internet inclusion is directly confirmed. One listing says the HOA fees cover 'hot and cold water, internet, and a full digital cable package,' and another references 'Spectrum cable/internet,' showing this is not just a checkbox artifact. The MLS pattern also supports the feature across the building.
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.
Sewer inclusion is very well supported. Multiple remarks explicitly mention sewer being included in the maintenance fee, and the MLS data shows SEWER in 17 of 20 listings. The consistency across listings suggests this is a stable building feature, not a copy/paste error.
Water inclusion is extremely well supported. Several listings explicitly mention 'hot/cold water' being included, and the MLS data shows WATER in 18 of 20 listings. The evidence is consistent across many remarks and strongly indicates a building-level fee inclusion.
BBQ facilities are mentioned throughout the remarks in many different wordings, including "BBQ area," "BBQ grills," and "recreation deck with BBQ area." The consistency across many listings and agents makes this feature very reliable.
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.
Car wash facilities are directly mentioned in the public remarks, including phrases like "car wash area" and "designated car wash space." While not every listing mentions it, the repeated references across multiple agents support that the amenity exists.
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.
Exercise amenities are consistently supported across the listings. Multiple remarks explicitly mention a "fitness center," "exercise room," "gym," or "fitness room," and several also note recent upgrades to the fitness room. This is strong multi-agent corroboration, not just copy-paste MLS data.
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.
There is no meaningful public-remarks evidence supporting a meeting room in the building. The listings focus on other amenities such as pool, sauna, gym, BBQ, and recreation deck, so this feature appears unsupported.
The building clearly offers patio/deck-style outdoor space. Across the provided remarks, dozens of listings mention a "recreation deck," "amenities deck," "BBQ area," and private "lanai"/"open lanai" spaces, which strongly corroborates the current MLS amenities data. This evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and is not just copy-paste checkbox data.
There is no evidence in the current public remarks that 1717 Ala Wai has a dedicated jogging or walking path. Across the listings, agents repeatedly describe pools, BBQ areas, saunas, and fitness rooms, but none mention a path/trail amenity, suggesting the MLS path_jogging value is likely incorrect.
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.
The building clearly has a shared recreation area, most commonly described as a "recreation deck" or "rec deck." Multiple listings say it was refreshed, renovated, or redone, which reinforces that this is a real shared amenity rather than a copied MLS checkbox.
Evidence for an indoor rec room is weak: CURRENT MLS flagged few units historically (4/20) but public remarks overwhelmingly describe a 'recreation deck' and pool area rather than an indoor 'recreation room' or game room. No consistent, explicit mentions of an indoor rec/multi-purpose room across the remarks, suggesting the indoor rec room is not a reliably advertised building amenity.
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.
Sauna is mentioned frequently, including "sauna," "dry sauna," "sauna room," and references to sauna upgrades. The breadth of matching remarks from different listings makes this a strong confirmed building feature.
Storage is strongly supported across the remarks: dozens of listings mention a 'storage locker,' 'separate storage unit,' 'additional storage,' or 'on-site storage.' The feature appears consistently across many agents and listings, so this looks like a real building amenity rather than copy-paste noise. Buyers searching for storage units/lockers should definitely see this building as offering them.
This feature is directly confirmed by the public remarks. Several listings explicitly call out surfboard storage, sometimes paired with bicycle storage, so this is well supported.
There is no supporting evidence in the current remarks for tennis courts. With only 1/20 current MLS listings checking the field and no descriptive mention from agents, this feature appears unsupported in the public listing text.
Trash chute appears supported by the MLS amenity data, but unlike the other amenities, the public remarks do not explicitly say "trash chute," "garbage chute," or "refuse chute." Because the narrative evidence is absent, confidence is lower than for the other building features.
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.
Whirlpool/hot tub/spa amenities are heavily reinforced across the listings. Many remarks explicitly say "hot tub," "jacuzzi," or "whirlpool," often alongside the pool and recreation deck. This is one of the most consistently supported amenities in the building.
The building clearly has a shared pool amenity. The pool is mentioned in a large majority of the provided remarks across many different listings and agents, often with specific details like "heated saltwater pool," "newly renovated heated saltwater pool," and "pool, jacuzzi, BBQ area." This is strong, consistent evidence that the amenity exists and is available to residents.
The pool is very likely heated. Many current listings explicitly use phrases such as "heated saltwater pool," "heated pool," and "heated salt-water pool," often alongside related amenities like jacuzzi and BBQ area. The repeated wording across multiple listings supports a shared, building-level heated pool amenity.
This feature is directly confirmed in the remarks. Multiple listings explicitly state that the building has a heated saltwater pool, which is clear evidence that the pool is salt water.
In-unit laundry is strongly confirmed for this building. Across the provided remarks, it is explicitly mentioned in many listings, with phrases like 'in-unit washer and dryer,' 'full-size washer/dryer in unit,' and 'washer and dryer in the unit,' which aligns with the current MLS data showing 20/20 listings including WASHER/DRYER. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents, not just copy-paste boilerplate.
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.
I looked for references to coin laundry, coin-op machines, card-operated laundry, quarters, or laundry fees. The remarks only mention in-unit washer/dryer, so there is no evidence that community laundry is paid.
I searched the remarks for language like 'laundry on each floor,' 'laundry room on every floor,' and similar wording. Nothing in the public remarks confirms community laundry on every floor, so this feature is not supported by the listings.
Parking is very strongly supported across the listing set. Multiple remarks mention phrases like "one parking stall," "covered parking," "secure parking," "guest parking stalls," and "parking garage," and this appears consistent across many agents rather than a one-off copy-paste.
Assigned/reserved parking is well supported by both the MLS flags and the public remarks. Several listings explicitly say "assigned parking stall," "one covered assigned parking stall," or "designated parking space," indicating this is a building feature buyers can reasonably expect in many units.
Covered parking is overwhelmingly supported by the remarks and MLS history. Multiple listings describe "covered parking," "covered assigned parking stall," and even "basement parking garage," indicating this is a shared building feature. The consistency across many remarks makes this very reliable.
I looked for deeded/owned parking language such as deeded parking, owned stall, or parking included in deed, but the listings only describe assigned, covered, or secure parking. That supports parking existing, but not that it is deeded.
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.
I searched for parking fee language, including monthly parking cost, stall rental, or extra parking charges, and found no explicit references. The remarks mention parking stalls and guest parking, but not a separate parking fee.
Guest parking is very well supported and mentioned across many listings. Remarks repeatedly cite "8 guest parking stalls," "ample guest parking," and "guest parking," matching the current MLS history where 16/20 listings include GUEST. The consistency across listings indicates a real shared building amenity.
Secured entry/secured parking is supported by multiple explicit remarks even though the checkbox appears inconsistent in current MLS data. Listings mention '24/7 secured entry,' 'secured building,' 'secure parking,' and 'key fob entry,' which indicates legitimate controlled access rather than a copied checkbox. The evidence is strong enough to include the feature.
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.
I looked for phrases like parking waitlist, waiting list, or join-the-waitlist for parking, but there were no such mentions. The listings instead describe assigned stalls and guest parking, with no evidence of a waitlist process.
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.
I looked for electronic access wording such as key card, fob, card reader, or secured entry. The listings repeatedly mention key fob entry and secured entry, so card/fob access is strongly supported.
Security guard service is strongly supported for 1717 Ala Wai. Across many listings, agents repeatedly describe "24-hour security," "24/7 on-site security," "security personnel," and "security at the front lobby/front door," which aligns with the existing high-confidence MLS amenity data (17/20 listings marked SECGUA).
I searched for explicit patrol language like 'security patrol,' 'roving security,' or 'patrolled building.' The remarks only mention on-site security/guards, so there is no evidence of a patrol service.
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.
Strong evidence supports split AC in this building. Multiple listings explicitly mention "dual split A/C units" and a "Mitsubishi split AC system throughout the entire apartment," showing this is not just checkbox noise. The remarks come from multiple listings/agents and align with the prior high-confidence history, so this feature should be kept.
Window AC is strongly supported for this building. Multiple current listings explicitly mention it, with several remarks saying "window AC" or "new AC Window Unit," which confirms the historical MLS inclusions data rather than a copy-paste error. Although some other listings mention split AC instead, there are enough explicit window-AC references across multiple remarks to treat this as a real building/unit feature available in some units.
Concrete construction is overwhelmingly supported by the MLS history, with 20/20 listings marked CONCRE. The public remarks do not usually state the material explicitly, but the consistency across listings strongly indicates a concrete building rather than copy-paste noise.
Double-wall construction appears in a modest share of current MLS records, but there are no public-remark phrases like 'double wall' or 'two walls' to validate it. The evidence is suggestive but not strong, so this remains a tentative building feature.
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.
Only a small minority of current MLS records indicate masonry/stucco construction, and the public remarks across many listings never explicitly mention those materials. This is weak support and could reflect checkbox drift, but there is not enough evidence to safely correct it to false.
Across the provided remarks, steel frame construction is not mentioned at all, despite one current MLS record checking STEFRA. The historical pattern strongly suggests this is likely a copy/paste or checkbox error rather than a verified feature change. Because there is no supporting remark evidence of steel frame construction, it should not be treated as a confirmed building characteristic.
A concrete slab foundation is not supported by the public remarks. Across many listings, agents describe upgrades, amenities, and views but never reference a slab foundation, and the limited 5/20 MLS support looks inconsistent with the rest of the record.
No analysis available
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 the reviewed listings, no agent remarks explicitly mention above-ground construction or related materials. Because only 4/20 MLS records carry ABOGRO and the wording appears to be generic copy-paste rather than firsthand verification, the feature is not supported by the public remarks.
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.
I searched for STR-related language such as short-term rental allowed, STR permitted, NUC, TVU, or 30-day minimum rules, but found none. With no public-remarks evidence indicating STR permission, this is treated as not supported here.
I looked for hotel rental pool references such as Hilton, Trump, Ritz, hotel-managed, or rental program language. There is no evidence of a hotel pool program in the remarks, and because STR is not indicated, this must be false.
I searched for phrases like mandatory hotel pool, required participation, or no opt-out language. The remarks contain nothing suggesting a required rental pool, so 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.
I searched for leasehold terms such as lease expires, ground lease, renewed through, and specific expiry years, but found nothing. There is no public-remarks evidence to identify a lease expiry year.
Public remarks repeatedly confirm VA financing through direct VA assumable-loan language. This is strong evidence that VA loans are accepted or at least that VA-eligible financing is available for the building/unit listings.
The remarks consistently and repeatedly confirm full building insurance coverage. I found multiple explicit references to being fully insured and having 100% hurricane coverage, with some listings also mentioning flood coverage. This is strong, repeated evidence supporting a true value.
Across the provided listings, fire sprinklers are explicitly negated in 2 remarks. The key language is consistent: 'Sprinklers system not mandated to be installed' and 'powerful fire hoses on each floor,' which points away from a sprinkler system being present or marketed. The rest of the remarks do not mention sprinklers, so the evidence favors omitting this feature.
I searched the remarks for FLSE, fire/life safety evaluation pass statements, fire inspection approval, and similar compliance language. The listings do mention fire-related items like "fire-code drywall," "Smoke Detectors in Unit," and "powerful Fire Hoses on Each Floor," but those are not the same as a confirmed pass. Since no pass is explicitly stated, this is set to false with medium confidence.

Ocean views are very well supported across the listings, with 16/20 current MLS view descriptions including OCEAN and no NONE entries. Multiple remarks from different listings explicitly mention 'ocean views,' 'sweeping ocean views,' 'peek-a-boo Pacific Ocean vistas,' and 'panoramic views of the ocean,' which makes this a consistent building-level feature rather than a copy-paste anomaly.
Mountain views are clearly present in this building and are referenced across multiple current listings, not just one agent. Remarks include explicit phrases such as 'Koolau Mountains,' 'majestic mountains,' 'mountain range,' and 'mountains from your lanai,' often alongside ocean/canal/city views.
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.
City views are strongly and consistently supported across the listing remarks. Multiple units mention "city skyline," "city lights," "cityscape," and "Ala Moana skyline," often alongside canal or ocean views, indicating this is a common building feature rather than a one-off agent claim. The pattern matches the high-confidence historical MLS data and appears across many listings/agents.
Coastline views are explicitly confirmed in several listings, with 9/20 current MLS view descriptions including COASTL and no NONE entries. The remarks include direct phrases such as 'Great Canal & Coastal Views!' and 'one-of-a-kind panoramic view of the ocean, coastline, canal, cityscape and mountains,' which strongly supports this as a genuine feature for some 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.
Marina/canal views are clearly supported by the remarks and historical MLS pattern. Listings repeatedly reference "Ala Wai Canal," "canal view," "marina views," and even "yacht harbor," showing this feature is available in the building across multiple units. The evidence is consistent and widespread, not just copy-paste from a single agent.
No listings in the provided remarks explicitly mention 'sunrise', 'morning sun', or 'eastern exposure'. While many listings describe sunsets and various directional views (ocean, canal, mountains, city), there is no evidence that 'sunrise view' is a described or promoted feature in any unit.
Sunset views are clearly present, though less universal than ocean or city views, with 7/20 current MLS view descriptions including SUNSET. Multiple remarks independently call out 'sunset skies,' 'sunsets,' 'enjoy sunsets over Ala Moana and Waikiki,' and 'ocean sunsets,' supporting this as a real building feature offered by some units.
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.
I searched for direct wording such as 'fireworks view,' 'watch fireworks from the lanai,' or 'see fireworks from the unit.' The only reference was to the nearby weekly fireworks, which does not establish an actual fireworks view from the building.

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.
Strong, repeated evidence confirms this building has a resident/on-site manager. Multiple listings explicitly mention a "resident manager," "onsite manager," or "on-site manager," and the wording appears across different agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
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.
