I searched for explicit percentages or phrases like '80% owner occupied', 'majority owner occupied', or 'highly owner occupied'. The remarks contain many references to 'high occupancy' and 'high occupancy rates', but these refer to rental/hotel occupancy, not owner-occupancy percentages. Without an explicit numeric or declarative remark, the owner_occupancy percentage is unknown and cannot be inferred.
I searched all remarks for explicit counts or phrases like '4 elevators', 'four elevators', or 'multiple elevators'. The remarks repeatedly mention proximity to and location near elevators (e.g., 'close to the elevator') but do not state a number. Per rules I will not guess a numeric value without an explicit remark.
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.
Strong evidence from MLS (15/20) and many agent remarks stating "A/C" or "central A/C" are included in the maintenance fee. Multiple listings phrase it as part of the all‑inclusive fees, supporting building‑level inclusion of central air conditioning.
Evidence is very strong: 19 of 20 MLS records flag CABTV and the listing remarks repeatedly state phrases like "Maintenance Fee includes cable TV" and "cable TV included." Multiple agents across listings consistently mention cable as part of the all‑inclusive HOA/maintenance fee, indicating building‑wide coverage rather than isolated unit claims.
Consistent building‑level evidence: MLS shows common expenses included in many records and multiple public remarks state maintenance covers "common expenses" or list Common/HAC reserve contributions, indicating common‑area expenses are bundled into the maintenance fee.
No analysis available
Very strong and consistent evidence: 20 of 20 MLS records flag electricity included and dozens of agent remarks explicitly state "electricity included" or "electricity" is part of the maintenance, demonstrating building‑wide inclusion.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: all MLS records flag hot water included and multiple public remarks explicitly list "hot water" as covered by the maintenance fee. Absence of WTRHTR in inclusions supports that hot water is supplied/covered by the association rather than by in‑unit water heaters.
Very strong evidence: 20 of 20 MLS records flag internet service included and listing remarks frequently state "internet included" or "Wi‑Fi included," showing consistent building‑level inclusion of internet in maintenance.
No analysis available
Strong building‑level evidence: MLS checkboxes and many agent remarks note sewer is part of the maintenance fee (often listed together as "water & sewer"), supporting inclusion across the building.
Strong evidence from MLS (18/20) and repeated agent remarks such as "water included" or "water & sewer" in the maintenance fee. Multiple listings across agents consistently list water as covered, indicating building‑level inclusion.
Confidence 97%: Multiple remarks list 'BBQ area' among building amenities, and at least one MLS record has BBQ checked in the amenities.

Concierge service is explicitly mentioned in dozens of current public remarks (phrases such as “concierge services,” “concierge service,” “front desk,” and “hotel concierge” appear repeatedly). Combined with prior MLS checkbox data indicating concierge on most listings, the evidence is strong and consistent across multiple agents and listings that the building offers concierge service.
No analysis available
A minority of MLS listings (3/20 checkbox DOORMA) but multiple public remarks explicitly mention 'doorman' or 'doorman & more' and many listings reference concierge/valet/lobby staff; evidence across agents supports that a doorman/lobby attendant service is offered by the building.
Strong, consistent evidence: 20 of 20 current MLS listings include the exercise-room amenity and multiple remarks explicitly state 'fitness center', 'gym', 'exercise room' and 'fitness room'. Mentions appear across many agent remarks (not isolated), confirming the building offers a shared fitness/exercise facility.
No analysis available
Sufficient evidence: CURRENT MLS 4/20 list meeting rooms and many listing remarks explicitly advertise 'meeting rooms', 'meeting facilities', or 'meeting rooms' (e.g., 'meeting rooms', 'meeting facilities, pool, gym'). Although fewer MLS checkboxes show it, multiple agent remarks across listings confirm shared meeting/ conference spaces, so include the feature.
Strong evidence across the remarks that building-level outdoor spaces exist. Dozens of listings reference outdoor amenities—phrases include "private lanai", "open lanai", "outdoor swimming pool with a spacious sun deck", "sundeck", and "amenity deck". The language is consistent across many agents and appears as genuine amenity descriptions rather than isolated copy-paste errors.

Moderate evidence the building has a recreation area: a few listings (3/20) explicitly check the recreation-area amenity, and roughly seven listings' remarks mention an 'amenity deck', 'recreation area', or 'recreation spaces' and renovations to the amenity deck in 2020. The language appears in multiple agent remarks (not limited to a single listing), so buyers can expect shared recreation amenities though the checkbox prevalence is lower than other features.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: 19 of 20 current MLS listings list a restaurant amenity and many remarks explicitly name on-site dining such as 'Signature Steakhouse', 'Cafe 410', and 'Starbucks', demonstrating multiple dining outlets available within the property.
No analysis available
Consistent evidence: 14 of 20 current MLS listings include the sauna amenity and many public remarks explicitly reference 'sauna', 'steam room', or 'sauna (dry and steam)', reported across multiple listings and agents, confirming shared sauna/steam facilities in the building.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for phrases like 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', and 'surf storage' and found none. Although the property is close to beaches, there are no remarks indicating dedicated surfboard storage facilities.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Strong evidence the building offers valet: 16 of 20 listings historically checked the VALET amenity and numerous current remarks explicitly state 'valet', 'valet parking', and 'valet services' (examples: 'valet parking', 'valet service', 'valet services'). Mentions appear across multiple agents' remarks rather than as a single copy/paste outlier, supporting a high-confidence include.

Strong, consistent evidence across listings that the building has a pool: virtually all unit remarks reference a pool or renovated pool deck (e.g., 'outdoor swimming pool with a spacious sun deck', 'revamped pool', 'newly renovated pool area'). This is corroborated by historical MLS checkbox/amenity data showing the pool amenity on all current listings.
Multiple listings explicitly mention a heated pool (MLS heated-pool amenity present on ~8 of 20 current listings and several public remarks read 'heated pool' or 'heated pool, gym, sauna'). While not every agent included the heated flag, the combination of amenity codes and repeated remark phrases across different agents provides solid evidence the building's shared pool is heated.
Many listings describe the pool (heated, renovated, sundeck) but none mention a salt-water or saline system. I searched the remarks for 'salt', 'salt water', and 'saltwater' with no matches; absence of mention means we cannot confirm a salt system.
No analysis available
Strong evidence the building has shared laundry: 19 of 20 current MLS listings include the COMLAU amenity and numerous public remarks explicitly note 'community laundry', 'conveniently on the same floor as laundry and vending machines', or 'community laundry (6th and 13th floor)'. Mentions appear across many different listings and agents rather than isolated one-off claims, supporting high confidence that the building offers shared laundry facilities.
Multiple listings reference 'community laundry' and laundry in proximity to vending machines, which strongly suggests a pay-for-use laundry room. I searched for phrases like 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'paid laundry', 'card operated' and found references to laundry and vending machines but no explicit 'coin' or 'card' wordings.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and found an explicit mention: 'community laundry (6th and 13th floor)'. That indicates community laundry exists but only on particular floors (6th and 13th), so not on every floor.
Multiple listings (dozens across the corpus) explicitly reference building parking—common phrases include "valet parking", "on-site paid car parking", and "$34.50/day parking with in and out privileges". Evidence is consistent across many agents and listings despite many MLS checkboxes marked NONE, so confidence is high that the building offers paid/valet parking.
Across dozens of recent listings, parking is described as valet or paid hotel garage parking, with no references to any reserved, assigned, or deeded stalls. Multiple agents explicitly state that units do not include deeded parking and instead use on-site paid/valet facilities, so buyers should not expect assigned parking in this building. The rare MLS checkbox entries for assigned parking are unsupported by remarks and appear to be copy‑paste or data-entry mistakes.
No analysis available
Remarks explicitly indicate units do not include deeded parking and describe paid/valet/self parking options, supporting that parking is not deeded.
No analysis available
I found explicit pricing for parking in the remarks ('$34.50/day parking with in and out privileges'). Other remarks mention 'paid car parking' and valet, but no consistent monthly fee was provided.
Multiple agent remarks across listings reference valet parking, paid hotel parking (e.g., "$34.50/day parking with in and out privileges"), and self-parking/garage options, indicating the building provides parking services for guests. While only 2/20 MLS records currently checked the guest-parking box, the repeated mentions of valet/paid parking across many listings (not a single isolated ad) provide moderate evidence that guest parking is available.

I searched for terms like 'parking waitlist' or 'waiting list' and found none. Absence of mention suggests no advertised waitlist, but this is not definitive.
No analysis available
Multiple remarks include 'keyed elevators for security' and other access-control related notes, which supports that the building uses some form of electronic/key card or keyed access. I searched for 'key card', 'fob', 'keyed elevators', and 'card reader' and found explicit wording.
Historical MLS checkbox data indicated security guards were present on 16 of 20 listings. In the current remarks, explicit phrasing “Security guards on site” appears in a few listings and many other remarks reference doorman/valet/keyed-elevator services that imply staffed security. Evidence is mixed — strong historical checkbox support with limited explicit current mentions, suggesting the building likely maintains security personnel.
Several listings mention security personnel/guards on site and the building context also notes security guard/resident manager presence. I searched for 'security guard', 'security patrol', and 'on site security' and found explicit mentions.
No analysis available
High historical confidence: 16 of 20 recent MLS listings included ACCEN in inclusions and 6 of 20 had ACCEN/CENAC in unit features. Current remarks across many listings repeatedly state "Maintenance Fee includes ... A/C" and a number explicitly say "central A/C" (e.g., "Maintenance fee includes electricity, central AC, water"). Evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listings and aligns with prior MLS checkbox data, so central_ac is included as true with high confidence.
No listings' public remarks mention split or mini-split systems (0/20 mention split/mini-split). Many listings state "Maintenance Fee includes ... A/C" or "central A/C," suggesting building-level central air rather than ductless units. Only 1/20 MLS checkbox inclusions list ACSPL, likely a checkbox error or isolated case; overall evidence does not support listing split_ac for the building.
No analysis available
All 20 current MLS records for the building indicate concrete construction ('CONCRE'), and historical data previously marked the building as concrete with high confidence. No public remarks contradict or describe a change to the building structure; evidence is consistent across multiple listings (likely copied by agents) and strongly supports concrete construction.
Only 1 of 20 current MLS listings lists double-wall construction and there are no remarks referencing 'double wall' or 'double-wall construction.' Given the isolated MLS checkbox and lack of supporting remarks or historical evidence, it's most likely an incorrect/ copy-paste entry and the building should not be classified as double-wall.

Only 3 of 20 current MLS listings include a steel-frame construction flag, while the vast majority list only concrete and no remarks mention steel framing. This pattern strongly suggests sporadic data-entry errors rather than a true steel-frame building, so steel frame construction is not treated as a building feature.

Historical data indicated high confidence that building residential units are above ground, and multiple public remarks repeatedly reference high-floor, top-floor and penthouse units (e.g., '30th floor', 'top floor', 'penthouse', 'high-floor'), with no remarks describing below-grade residential spaces. Although only 3/20 MLS checkboxes show 'ABOGRO', the strong historical record and consistent remarks support setting above_ground = true.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Remarks repeatedly confirm the building/units are grandfathered/legal for short-term/nightly rentals and describe flexibility to self-manage, hire onsite or 3rd-party managers; therefore STRs are allowed.
Listings consistently describe an organized hotel rental program/pool managed by Mantra (owners can join the hotel rental program), indicating the building participates in a hotel rental pool.
Remarks explicitly describe the hotel rental program as optional and note owners can self-manage or hire third-party managers, so participation in the hotel pool is not mandatory.

No analysis available
I searched for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease to', 'leasehold expiring in' and for any 4-digit expiry year; found no such leasehold/expiry references, so the expiry year is unknown.
I searched all remarks for 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans accepted' and found none. There are references to condo-hotel financing (e.g., 'Finance Factors offers Condo Hotel Financing'), but nothing indicating VA loan approval.
I specifically searched for HOA insurance coverage language such as 'fully insured', 'full insurance', 'walls-in coverage', or 'comprehensive building insurance'. The remarks describe what maintenance fees cover (utilities, internet, cable, A/C, water, etc.) but do not state that the HOA carries walls-in or full building insurance. Therefore there is no explicit evidence; returning false with medium confidence.
Historical MLS data previously indicated sprinklers with high confidence; current public remarks across multiple listings explicitly confirm a sprinkler system (phrases include "Bldg is equipped with a fire sprinkler system," "Fire sprinklers have been installed," and "Equipped with sprinkler system"). At least several different listings from different agents mention sprinklers rather than a single copy/paste line, providing strong corroboration that the building is sprinklered.
I searched for terms such as 'FLSE passed', 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'passed fire inspection', or similar. The remarks reference that the building is 'equipped with a fire sprinkler system' and reference a 'fire escape' in one context, but there is no explicit statement that a fire/life safety evaluation was passed. With no explicit FLSE language, flagging as false with medium confidence (absence = likely not stated).
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Numerous listings explicitly mention ocean or Pacific views—phrases include 'partial Pacific Ocean views', 'sweeping ocean', 'ocean view', and 'panoramic ocean views' from lanai and living areas. Evidence appears across many independent agent remarks (not a single isolated ad) and confirms the building offers ocean-view units.
Multiple current public remarks (dozens across the listings) explicitly mention mountain or Koʻolau/mauka views—quotes include 'mountain views', 'majestic Ko'olau Mountains', and 'mauka side'. This aligns with prior high-confidence historical data indicating the building offers mountain views, and the repeated independent listing remarks suggest the feature is real and relevant to buyers.
Several listings specifically reference Diamond Head (phrases like 'peekaboo Diamond Head', 'Diamond Head side', and 'views of the famed Diamond Head'), showing that Diamond Head views are offered by some units in the building.
Many listings call out city or downtown views—examples include 'city views', 'Honolulu city views', and 'city and night views from the top-floor steakhouse'—demonstrating that city-view units exist in the building.
Numerous listings explicitly describe ocean/coastline exposures — key phrases include 'ocean view', 'partial ocean view', 'coastline', 'parallel to coastline', 'sweeping ocean views' and 'panoramic Pacific Ocean'. These mentions appear across many different listings and agents, providing strong, consistent evidence that the building offers coastline-facing units.

Multiple listings reference harbor/marina views with phrases like 'Ala Wai Boat Harbor', 'Ala Wai Harbor', 'yacht harbor', and 'marina views', indicating that some units overlook the harbor/marina areas.
Confidence 72%: Some units are described as east-facing with 'morning sun (no direct afternoon sun)' and open lanais looking toward mountains and city, implying sunrise exposure even though 'sunrise' is not named explicitly.
Several listings highlight sunsets as a selling point, including phrases like 'Preferred higher floor unit with Ocean/Sunset views', 'Enjoy ocean and sunset views', 'Views of sunsets into the blue ocean from this Corner unit!!!', and 'sun setting in the Pacific Ocean view'. These references come from different stacks and both towers, indicating that multiple west-facing units in the building capture evening sun and sunset vistas. This supports advertising the building as offering sunset-view units.
No analysis available
At least one public remark explicitly states that Friday night Hilton fireworks can be viewed from the balcony/lanai. I searched for 'fireworks', 'lanai', and 'view' and found direct mentions confirming views of the fireworks from the building.

Multiple listings reference the ability to “Hire Onsite Property MGR” and participation in a full-service hotel management program, implying a management office and staff located in the building rather than off-site services. Numerous remarks also mention concierge, valet, doorman, and hotel management benefits, consistent with an on-site building manager/management team. Combined with the RESMAN checkbox in some MLS entries, this supports treating the building as having a resident/on-site manager.
