Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending

This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.

No analysis available

Owner Occupancy
Low

I searched all public remarks for explicit owner-occupancy percentages or phrases indicating the level of owner occupancy. There are no such mentions, so the owner-occupancy percentage is unknown and cannot be inferred from the remarks.

Elevators
Low

I searched all public remarks for explicit elevator counts (e.g., '4 elevators', 'four elevators', 'multiple elevators'). Several listings reference 'the elevators' or proximity to the elevators, but none state a number. Without an explicit numeric mention, the elevator count is unknown and cannot be guessed.

Association Fee Low
$719
High

Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Association Fee High
$994
High

Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Association Fee (Penthouse)
High

Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.

Fee Includes Central AC
No

Fee Includes Cable
No

Fee Includes Common
Yes
High

Current MLS data shows 15/20 listings with OTCOEX (common area electricity) included in association_fee_includes, and there are no remarks suggesting separate billing for common-area power.

Fee Includes Hot Water
No
High

Only 2/20 MLS listings show HOTWAT in association_fee_includes, while 16/20 list WTRHTR in inclusions, indicating individual water heaters; remarks never say hot water is included in HOA fees.

Fee Includes Internet
No
High

Historical data already had high confidence that internet was billed as a separate bulk fee, not included in regular maintenance, based on multiple remarks about an extra monthly charge. Current remarks again state "Additional $50 fee for internet and cable TV," "Other Fees Monthly of additional $50.24/mo. for Cable & Internet service," and "$48 Fee is for Internet bulk service through Spectrum," confirming internet is a separate line item despite 12/20 current MLS entries checking internet in association_fee_includes.

Fee Includes Marina
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Sewer
Yes
High

18/20 current MLS listings mark SEWER in association_fee_includes, and no remarks mention separate sewer charges.

Fee Includes Water
Yes
High

18/20 MLS listings include WATER in association_fee_includes, and remarks only call out extra fees for internet/cable and Ward Village dues, not for water.

Agents describe an "amenity deck," "recreation deck," "rooftop deck," "sky deck," and multiple "sky lanais" as shared building features, and 14/20 MLS listings include PATDEC/COVPAT.

Rooftop
Yes

Storage Unit
Yes
High

Multiple units are advertised with a "separate storage unit," "large storage unit," "storage room right down the hall," and "storage lockers," and MLS shows STORAG/ADDLVSTORAG for several listings.

Surfboard Storage
Yes
High

I found numerous explicit mentions across the remarks of surfboard storage and surfboard racks as an amenity. This consistently indicates the building provides surfboard storage facilities.

Tennis Court
No

No analysis available

Trash Chute
Yes
High

17/20 MLS entries list TRACHU in amenities, and as a modern high-rise there is no mention of alternative trash handling like centralized dumpsters on each floor.

Valet
No

No analysis available

Wall Fence
No

No analysis available

Whirlpool
No

No analysis available

Pool
No
High

Confidence 90%: Only 2/20 MLS listings check a pool-related amenity, and across extensive amenity descriptions in 20+ remarks, none mention any pool, which is highly unlikely if a pool existed.

Pool Heated
No

No analysis available

Pool Salt
No
Low

I searched for terms indicating a saltwater pool and found none. The building context also indicates no pool, and remarks do not describe any pool type.

Laundry In Unit
Yes
High

Many remarks explicitly mention "in-unit washer and dryer," "NEW Washer-Dryer installed in 2025," and even a "separate laundry room" in a penthouse, with 19/20 MLS entries including WASHER/DRYER.

Community Laundry
No

No analysis available

Community Laundry Paid
No
Low

I searched the remarks for paid laundry indicators (coin-op, card-operated machines, laundry fees) and found no evidence. Listings generally note in-unit washers/dryers or no mention of community laundry payment.

Community Laundry Every Floor
No
Low

I searched the remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', or 'floor-by-floor laundry' and found none. Many units explicitly mention in-unit washer/dryer, which suggests resident laundry is typically in-unit rather than a laundry on every floor.

Parking
Yes

No analysis available

Parking Assigned
Yes
High

Remarks include phrases like "1 assigned stall," "2 Covered Side-by-Side Parking," "full sized parking stall," and purchased extra stalls, showing stalls are individually designated.

Parking Covered
Yes
High

Multiple remarks mention "covered parking," "2 Covered Side-by-Side Parking," and "covered parking stall," and 20/20 MLS entries show covered/garage-related codes.

Parking Deeded
No
Low

I looked for explicit language indicating parking is deeded (e.g., 'deeded parking', 'owned stall'). While many listings note assigned/covered/oversized stalls and one says 'deeded storage locker', none explicitly call parking deeded. Absence of explicit deeded-parking language leads to false with medium confidence.

Parking E V
No

No analysis available

Parking Fee
Low

Searched for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', or 'additional parking cost'. The remarks list other monthly fees (internet, Ward Village fee) but do not mention a parking fee, so parking fee is unknown (null).

Parking Guest
Yes
High

Some listings explicitly state "guest parking" and "plenty of guest parking" as part of the building features.

Parking Secured Entry
Yes
High

13/20 MLS listings mark SECENT in parking_features, and remarks reference a "secure building," "secured entry," and 24/7 patrols, implying controlled access to parking areas.

Parking Tandem
No

No analysis available

Parking Valet
No

No analysis available

Parking Waitlist
No
Low

Searched remarks for 'parking waitlist' or similar. None of the listings reference a waitlist system for parking; therefore set to false with medium confidence.

Security Keyed Elevator
No

No analysis available

Security Card
No
Low

I looked for explicit references to card/fob access systems (key card, fob, card reader) and found none. While the building is described as secured, there is no explicit statement in the remarks about card/fob access.

Security Guard
Yes
High

Listings mention "24 hours security service," "24/7 privately patrolled neighborhood," and a "secure building," and 18/20 MLS entries mark SECGUA.

Security Patrol
Yes
High

Public remarks explicitly describe a privately patrolled neighborhood with roving patrols and 24-hour security service. This directly supports that the building/neighborhood has security patrols.

Security Video
No

No analysis available

Central AC
No

No analysis available

Split AC
No

No analysis available

Window AC
Yes
High

Several listings state "Each room is equipped with its own window A/C unit," "Each bedroom has … window AC," and "Each room is cooled by its own window A/C unit," and 18/20 MLS entries have ACWIUN inclusions.

Concrete
Yes
High

Confidence 90%: 17/20 MLS listings flag CONCRE in construction_materials, and the building is a recently built Honolulu high-rise consistent with concrete construction.

Double Wall
No

No analysis available

Hollow Tile
No

No analysis available

Masonry/Stucco
No

Slab
No

Above Ground
Yes
High

This is a modern high-rise tower completed in 2019, and 4/20 MLS listings explicitly mark ABOGRO (above-ground construction) in construction_materials.

Brick
No

No analysis available

Single Wall
No

No analysis available

STR Allowed
No
Low

Looked for 'short-term rental allowed', 'vacation rental', 'TVU', 'NUC', or minimum-night policies. The listings do not mention STR being allowed or a hotel/rental program; absence suggests STR is not allowed (false) with medium confidence.

STR Hotel Pool
No
Low

Searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', and hotel brand management references. None found. Because STR is not indicated as allowed, hotel-pool participation is set to false.

STR Mandatory Pool
No
Low

Looked for phrases like 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or conversely 'optional' or 'can opt out'. There is no mention of a rental pool program; per rules this must be false when STR is not indicated.

Land Tenure: Fee Simple
Yes

No analysis available

Land Tenure: Leasehold
No

No analysis available

Lease Expiry Year
Low

Searched for explicit leasehold language ('lease expires', 'land lease to', 'leasehold expiring', renewal years). The remarks include no reference to land lease or lease expiry, so the lease expiry year is unknown (null).

Financing V A
No
Low

Searched the remarks for phrases like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans accepted'. There are no references to VA loan approval or VA financing in any listing remarks, so set to false with medium confidence.

Insured Fully
Yes
High

One of the listings explicitly states the building is '100% Fully Insured for Hurricane Insurance', indicating comprehensive (walls-in) coverage provided through the association. Because the feature is explicitly mentioned in the public remarks, this is recorded as true with high confidence.

Fire Sprinklers
Yes
High

15/20 MLS listings mark FIRSPR in amenities for this 2019-built high-rise, and there is no contrary remark; such buildings are typically sprinklered by code.

Fire Life Safety Eval Pass
No
Low

I searched remarks for FLSE-related terms (e.g., 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified'). There are no references to any fire/life safety evaluation or certification in the public remarks, so there is no evidence the building has an explicitly stated FLSE pass.

Flood Zone (Current)
AE
High

Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Flood Zone (June 2026)
AE
