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.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.

The listings indicate mixed usage, including owner retreats, part-time residency, and short-term rentals. No numeric percentage or clear statement such as majority or highly owner occupied was found, so owner occupancy remains unknown.
The remarks contain several references to elevator proximity and keyed elevators, but none provide a count such as four or multiple elevators. The elevator count therefore remains unknown rather than being inferred from the building's height or unit count.

Central A/C is supported by 17 of 20 current MLS listings and numerous explicit remarks. Examples include “central air conditioning” and “Maintenance fee covers ALL utilities (electricity, central A/C, internet, cable TV, water, and sewer),” providing strong multi-listing confirmation.
Cable inclusion is strongly supported by 19 of 20 current MLS listings. Repeated remarks include “Maintenance Fee includes internet, cable TV, electricity, A/C, and water” and “Maintenance fee covers ALL utilities,” appearing across many listings and agents.
Common expenses are supported by 16 of 20 current MLS listings. Remarks include “Maintenance fee includes electricity, central AC, water, and common expenses” and “Maintenance fees cover water, sewer, and common expenses,” confirming the building-level inclusion.
No analysis available
Electricity is one of the strongest-supported features, appearing in 19 of 20 current MLS listings. Numerous remarks explicitly say “electricity included” or “Maintenance Fee includes internet, cable TV, electricity, A/C, and water,” with consistent wording across many listings.
No analysis available
Hot water inclusion is strongly supported by 19 of 20 current MLS listings, with no listings showing WTRHTR. Remarks explicitly state “water, hot water and sewer” and “Maintenance fee includes internet, cable TV, electricity, AC, hot water, water and sewer,” confirming building-supplied hot water.
Internet inclusion is supported by 19 of 20 current MLS listings and extensive repeated remarks. Key phrases include “Maintenance Fee includes internet,” “Wi-Fi,” and “all-inclusive maintenance fee covers ... internet,” appearing across numerous agents and listing histories.
No analysis available
Sewer has complete current MLS support at 20 of 20 listings. Remarks repeatedly state “water and sewer” or “Maintenance fees cover water, sewer, and common expenses,” providing consistent confirmation across the listing set.
Water inclusion is strongly supported by 19 of 20 current MLS listings. Repeated phrases include “Maintenance Fee includes ... water,” “all-inclusive maintenance fee covers ... water,” and “water/sewer,” with consistent confirmation across many listings.
BBQ/grilling facilities are mentioned in multiple current remarks, including explicit phrases like 'BBQ area' and 'resort amenities include ... BBQ area.' While the MLS checkbox is sparse at 2/20, the repeated wording across several listings suggests this is a real building amenity rather than a one-off agent mistake.

Concierge service is overwhelmingly supported across many listings and agents, with well over 20 explicit references. Repeated phrases include "concierge services," "concierge service," and "24-hour concierge services," confirming this is a building-level hotel amenity rather than an isolated unit claim.
No analysis available
Doorman service remains supported despite appearing in only 3/20 current MLS amenity records. At least 3 listings explicitly mention a "doorman" or "attentive doorman," and the remarks are consistent with hotel-style lobby services. This confirms the feature is available at the building level.
More than 20 current remarks mention the feature, with repeated phrases including "fitness center," "exercise room," "gym," "fitness room," and "workout room." The evidence is widespread across listings and consistent with the historical high-confidence determination, although some wording appears copied between listings.
No analysis available
At least 6 listings explicitly mention "meeting rooms," "meeting facilities," or an "activities center" with meeting functions. The repeated references across different unit listings support this as a shared building amenity rather than a copied isolated claim.
Patio/deck amenities are strongly confirmed across numerous independent listings. Key phrases include “private lanai,” “open lanai,” “lanai space,” “amenity deck,” “pool deck,” “spacious deck for sunning,” and “sundeck,” with well over 10 listings mentioning them. The evidence reflects both unit-level outdoor spaces and shared building decks, so the feature is clearly relevant to buyers.

Approximately 11 current listings support the feature, including explicit references to a "recreation area," "recreation spaces," "recreation deck," and "amenity deck." Several remarks also describe the renovated pool/amenity deck, providing consistent building-level evidence across multiple listings.
Recreation space is weakly but plausibly supported: one current MLS entry has RECROO, and several remarks reference 'recreation area,' 'activities center,' or 'meeting rooms' in the amenity set. The evidence is not as direct as for gym or restaurant, so this looks like a modest-confidence inclusion rather than a fully confirmed feature.
Well over 19 listings mention on-site restaurants, cafes, or dining facilities, with specific venues such as "Signature Steakhouse," "Pint + Jigger," "Café 410," and Starbucks repeatedly cited. The breadth and specificity of the remarks strongly confirm in-building dining.
No analysis available
More than 20 current remarks mention a sauna or related facility, with repeated phrases such as "sauna," "steam room," "dry sauna," and "dry and wet saunas." The feature is consistently described by many listings and agents, strongly confirming the historical high-confidence record.
No analysis available
I searched for surfboard storage, board storage, surf storage, and bike-and-surfboard storage. Surfing is described as a nearby activity, but no building storage facility is mentioned.
No analysis available
There is no meaningful remark-based evidence for a trash chute system in these listings. The only related language is about refuse collection or utilities, not a chute, so this appears to be absent or at least unverified in the available data.
Valet service is strongly confirmed across numerous listings, with well over 16 remarks using phrases such as “valet parking,” “valet service,” “valet services,” and “full-service hotel amenities” including valet. The repeated mentions across distinct listing descriptions and historical MLS support indicate this is a genuine building amenity rather than a single copied checkbox error.
No analysis available
There is some evidence for a whirlpool/hot tub/spa-type amenity, including one remark that explicitly says 'jacuzzi' and several others referencing a 'spa' or 'spa facilities.' However, most remarks use spa in a general sense rather than clearly confirming a hot tub/whirlpool, so confidence is moderate rather than high.
The pool is overwhelmingly confirmed: current MLS data lists pool amenities in 20/20 listings, while dozens of remarks explicitly mention a “swimming pool,” “heated pool,” “outdoor swimming pool,” “resort-style pool,” or “renovated pool deck.” References span many different listings and consistently describe it as a building or hotel amenity, not isolated copy-paste unit information.
The pool is described as heated in several current listings, including direct phrases like "heated pool" and "heated pool, gym, sauna." Combined with the prior high-confidence MLS history, this is strong evidence that the building's pool is heated.
I searched for saltwater pool, salt-water pool, salt pool, and saline pool wording. The pool is well documented, but no salt-water designation was found.
I found no remark-level evidence that units have a washer/dryer in unit. The only signal is one current MLS inclusion checkbox, which is too weak to overcome the lack of any corroborating descriptions in the remarks.
Community laundry is explicitly mentioned in at least 8 current listing remarks, with phrases including "community laundry," "community laundry area," "community laundry (6th and 13th floor)," and "laundry & valet service." The evidence spans multiple listing descriptions and aligns with the current MLS amenity checkbox appearing on 17/20 listings, so this is a strong building-level feature rather than an isolated or likely copy-pasted error.
I searched for coin laundry, coin-op, quarters, card-operated laundry, laundry fees, and paid laundry language. Community laundry is mentioned, but no payment requirement was found in the remarks.
The listings confirm community laundry facilities, but explicitly locate them on the 6th and 13th floors. This directly contradicts laundry being available on every floor.
Parking is explicitly mentioned across numerous listings from multiple agents, including “valet parking,” “self-parking garage,” “onsite paid car parking,” and “parking for daily fee.” The repeated references consistently describe paid or valet parking available to residents and guests, confirming parking at the building even though only 2 of 20 current MLS records have parking features populated.
Across the provided listings, there are 0 explicit remark mentions of assigned or reserved parking, while many listings mention only 'valet parking,' 'paid parking,' or state 'no deeded parking with unit.' The evidence points to parking being available through hotel/valet arrangements, not assigned stalls. The sparse current ASSIGN checkbox data does not override the consistent remark evidence.
Covered parking appears to be available at this building. Across many listings, agents mention 'valet parking,' 'valet services,' and one listing specifically says 'self-parking garage or valet services available,' which supports covered parking access. The MLS checkbox data is inconsistent, so this is driven more by repeated listing remarks than by the current parking feature flags.
The remarks directly deny deeded parking. Multiple listings consistently characterize parking as valet, garage, or paid parking rather than owned or included with the unit.
No analysis available
Parking is clearly charged separately in at least some listings. The remarks provide a daily rate rather than a monthly rate, so they confirm a parking fee but do not establish a monthly parking amount.
Guest/visitor parking is supported mainly by repeated references to hotel valet and paid parking, including phrases such as “valet parking,” “onsite paid car parking,” “$34.50/day parking,” and “parking for daily fee.” The evidence is consistent across many listings, though it describes hotel-managed or paid parking rather than dedicated complimentary guest spaces; only 2 of 20 current MLS records explicitly use the GUEST parking designation.

I searched for parking waitlist and parking waiting-list language and found none. The remarks discuss valet, self-parking, paid parking, and parking availability, but do not describe a waitlist system.
No analysis available
I searched for key card access, fob access, card reader, electronic access, and keycard entry. Other security measures are described, but no card- or fob-based access system is confirmed.
Security service is strongly and repeatedly confirmed across the listing set, with at least four explicit references to 24-hour security or on-site security guards. Key phrases include "Security guards on site" and "Building has ... 24-hour security," supported by the current 14/20 MLS amenity count and prior high confidence.
I searched for patrol-specific wording such as security patrol, roving security, patrol service, and patrolled building. Guard and 24-hour security references were found, but no patrol service was identified.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is overwhelmingly confirmed across the building. Well over 15 listings explicitly reference "central air conditioning," "central A/C," or "central AC," including statements that maintenance fees cover central A/C, electricity, internet, cable TV, and water. The evidence appears across many different listing descriptions and is consistent with the high historical confidence and current MLS inclusion data.
Across this large set of remarks, 0 listings explicitly mention split AC, mini-split, or ductless systems. Multiple agents instead say the maintenance fee includes "central A/C" or "A/C," which points away from split systems and toward building-controlled cooling. The evidence is consistent across many copy-paste style remarks, with no contrary first-hand mention of split AC.
No analysis available
Concrete construction is strongly supported by the historical record, with 20 of 20 listings coded CONCRE. Only one current remark explicitly mentions an "outer concrete wall," while most remarks focus on unit renovations and amenities rather than structural materials; there is no contrary evidence.
There is no strong evidence that the building has double-wall construction. Current remarks across the listings do not explicitly mention "double wall" or similar language, and the weak MLS checkbox presence (2/20) looks inconsistent with the broader remark set. This is best treated as not supported.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Public remarks across the reviewed listings do not support steel frame construction, and the feature is not described in the text by any agent. With only 2/20 current MLS flags and no corroborating remarks, the evidence points away from true steel-frame construction for this building.
Concrete slab foundation is not supported by the public remarks. The current MLS data shows only 1 of 20 listings coded SLAB, and none of the remarks describe a slab foundation or any equivalent foundation detail. This looks like a sparse, unconfirmed MLS entry rather than a building-wide feature.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Evidence for above-ground construction is weaker than for concrete, but it is still supported by the repeated references to the building’s tower structure and many high-floor units across listings. While only 2 of 20 MLS entries are coded ABOGRO, the remarks consistently describe upper-story tower units, which aligns with the feature being present at the building level. This looks more like an inferred building attribute than a directly stated material specification.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The listings repeatedly confirm that short-term rentals are allowed in the building. They describe nightly vacation rentals, grandfathered STR status, and flexible self-management or third-party management options.
The building clearly participates in a hotel rental pool or hotel rental program. Listings repeatedly reference Mantra or Ala Moana Hotel management and describe units currently enrolled or eligible to join.
Hotel-pool participation is not mandatory. Multiple listings explicitly allow owners to self-manage, hire another management company, use the hotel program, or personally use the unit.

The remarks were searched for leasehold language, lease expiration dates, ground lease terms, and renewal dates, but no specific expiry year was found. The explicit "Fee Simple" reference indicates this unit is not presented as leasehold.
I searched for explicit VA approval, VA financing, and VA loan language throughout the remarks and found none. The financing references concern condo-hotel or seller financing, which do not establish VA approval.
The remarks discuss maintenance fees, reserves, utilities, and renovations but do not describe the HOA's insurance coverage. No explicit confirmation or denial of full building or walls-in insurance was found.
At least 6 listings explicitly mention fire sprinklers or a sprinkler system, using phrases such as “fire sprinkler system,” “Fire sprinklers have been installed,” and “Equipped with sprinkler system.” The statements appear across distinct listing remarks and strongly corroborate the historically high-confidence feature.
The listings provide evidence of installed fire sprinklers, which is not equivalent to a passed fire/life safety evaluation. No explicit statement of FLSE passage, fire-safety certification, or passed inspection was found.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.
No analysis available
Ocean views are strongly established across the building: 17/20 current listings mention OCEAN, with many detailed references such as "Pacific Ocean views," "ocean, coastline, and city views," and "panoramic ocean" vistas. The repeated descriptions across numerous units and agents confirm that ocean-view units are a legitimate building offering rather than isolated copy-paste data.
Mountain views are strongly supported at the building level, although they vary by stack and unit orientation. Numerous remarks explicitly mention “Koolau Mountains,” “mountain and city views,” “magnificent city/mountain view,” and “stunning mountain views,” confirming that buyers can find mountain-view units in the building.
Moderate-to-strong evidence that some units offer Diamond Head views: 5 of 20 listings list DIAHEA and remarks include direct phrases like "Diamond Head side" and "offering breathtaking views of the famed Diamond Head." Evidence is repeated across listings and agents, indicating Diamond Head views exist for certain units.
City views are very strongly confirmed across the building, with 13/20 current listings containing CITY-related view descriptions. Remarks repeatedly cite “Honolulu city lights,” “city skyline,” “city views,” and “ocean and city views,” indicating the feature is available in multiple units and is not limited to a single copied description.
Coastline views are clearly supported across the listings. Several remarks explicitly say "parallel to coastline," "coastline views," or "ocean coastline views," and these references appear in multiple units and across multiple agents. This is strong building-level evidence rather than an isolated statement.

Marina/harbor views are clearly present in some units, even if less common than ocean views. Multiple remarks mention 'Ala Wai Harbor,' 'Ala Wai Yacht Harbor,' 'boat harbor,' 'harbor views,' and 'panoramic marina' views. The consistency across different listings supports this as a real building feature.
Several listings reference morning/eastern exposure and phrases like "morning sun" and "east-facing", indicating that some units provide sunrise or morning views. Mentions are fewer than ocean/city references but are present across multiple listings.
Sunset views are well supported by both historical and current remarks. Multiple listings explicitly say "sunset views," "beautiful sunsets," or describe "sunset" from lanais and corner units, indicating this is a real building-level feature for some units. The repeated wording across different listings suggests broad support rather than a one-off agent claim.
No analysis available
The remarks directly confirm that a unit balcony can view Friday night Hilton fireworks. This is explicit building-level evidence of fireworks views from a unit.

No analysis available
More than 20 current listing remarks mention an “onsite property manager,” “on-site property management,” or equivalent hotel management options. Although some wording is repeated and may be copied between listings, the feature is also consistent with the building’s established full-service hotel operation and prior high-confidence evidence.
No analysis available
There is no meaningful remark evidence that this building is a cooperative. Instead, the listings consistently call it a hotel condominium/condotel, which is incompatible with a co-op designation, and only 1/20 MLS records shows COOTAX in association fee includes. This looks like a stray MLS coding artifact rather than a true cooperative building feature.
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.
