Ala Wai Mansion

All available MLS records for this building consistently show a construction year of 1971. None of the public remarks suggest a different build year or a complete reconstruction that would override this data.

Multiple remarks describe the building as Waikiki's iconic boutique building "Ala Wai Mansion" with "10 floors." Penthouse listings and references to units "one floor under the penthouse" align with the 10-story structure. No remarks suggest a different floor count.

Remarks repeatedly describe Ala Wai Mansion as a boutique building with "4 units per floor" and indicate there are only two units on the penthouse level. Given the explicitly stated 10 floors, the most consistent interpretation is about 34 total units (eight 4-unit floors below the penthouse and two penthouse units). No agent remarks give a different total unit number.

I looked for direct ownership-rate statements such as '80% owner occupied,' 'majority owner occupied,' or similar wording, but the remarks do not provide a percentage. The current value of 57% is kept because there is no remark evidence to change it.

I searched the remarks for elevator-related wording such as 'elevator,' 'lift,' or explicit counts like '2 elevators' or 'multiple elevators,' but found nothing. The current value of 1 is retained because there is no remark evidence to confirm or contradict it.

One listing notes 'Maintenance fee includes ... and even AC!', but this appears to refer to electricity usage rather than a central AC system, and other listings only reference individual split AC units. With 0/12 MLS entries marking central AC in fees, there is strong evidence the building does not provide central AC as a distinct, HOA-included utility.

Cable TV appears to be included in the building’s maintenance fee. Historical MLS data is very strong (15 of 17 listings), and current remarks repeatedly say things like “Maintenance fee includes Electricity, Water, Sewer, Cable TV” and “HOA includes electricity, cable TV, sewer, water and internet.”

There is moderate evidence that common-area electricity is included, likely via the OTCOEX association fee code. The remarks do not usually spell out “common area electricity,” but the repeated electricity-inclusive maintenance descriptions across many listings support this as a building-level inclusion.

Listings refer to 'FEE SIMPLE opportunity' and a leasehold that could convert to fee, which is inconsistent with a cooperative structure. The single MLS COOTAX checkbox is best interpreted as an error, so co-op taxes are not considered part of the maintenance fee for this building.

Electricity is clearly included in the maintenance fee. The MLS history is nearly unanimous (15 of 17), and current remarks explicitly say “Maintenance fee includes electricity” and “Electricity is included in the monthly maintenance fee.”

All explicit utility inclusions mention electricity, water, sewer, cable, and internet, but never gas. Combined with 0/12 MLS records marking gas included, this strongly indicates gas is not part of the HOA-included utilities.

The available remarks do not support hot water being included in the maintenance fee. Listings repeatedly mention water, electricity, sewer, and cable, but never hot water; the presence of WTRHTR on some records also points away from building-supplied hot water.

Multiple listings explicitly mention 'internet' or 'internet included' in HOA/maintenance fee descriptions, often listed alongside electricity, water, sewer, and cable. The consistency across different remarks supports inclusion with high confidence.

Although the building fronts the Ala Wai Canal, there is no textual evidence of dedicated marina facilities or marina fees included in maintenance costs. The single MARINA checkbox is likely a data-entry error, so marina access/fees are not treated as an association-included feature.

Sewer is included in the building’s fees. Historical MLS data is extremely consistent (16 of 17), and current remarks repeatedly include sewer in the fee breakdown alongside electricity, water, and cable.

Water is included in the maintenance fee. The historical MLS data is overwhelmingly consistent (16 of 17), and current remarks repeatedly confirm it with phrases like “Maintenance fee includes… water” and “HOA includes… water.”

There are no mentions of BBQ, grills, or outdoor cooking facilities in any remarks. With 0/12 MLS records marking BBQ, it is very likely the building has no dedicated BBQ amenity.

None of the 12 listings for this building mention any form of bicycle storage (bike room, bike racks, or bike storage) in either remarks or amenities. Given the consistent absence of this feature in current MLS data and descriptions, it is highly likely that Ala Wai Mansion does not have a dedicated bike storage amenity.

The canal is used as a view feature, not as a boating amenity, and agents do not mention dock access or moorings. With MARINA unchecked in all MLS entries, the building does not provide a boat dock or marina access.

Parking is described in detail while omitting any reference to a car wash facility. With CRWSH unchecked across all MLS listings, the building likely does not offer a car wash amenity.

Ala Wai Mansion is repeatedly called a boutique building with no hint of a clubhouse or community center. MLS data and remarks together strongly indicate there is no clubhouse.

The building is marketed as a boutique Waikiki property with practical features like secured parking and storage, but concierge or front desk services are never mentioned. The lack of MLS amenity flags further supports that there is no concierge service offered.

The building is clearly pet-friendly, yet no listing advertises a dedicated dog park or pet run. With DGPRK unchecked in every MLS record, a dog park is very unlikely.

Agents repeatedly highlight location, pet-friendliness, parking, and storage, but never mention a doorman or lobby attendant. Given the consistent absence of both textual references and the MLS doorman amenity, it is very likely this building does not have a doorman service.

None of the 12 unit remarks reference a gym, fitness center, or workout room. MLS amenities data (0/12 for EXEROO) supports that Ala Wai Mansion does not offer a dedicated exercise room.

Even though some units are marketed as luxury penthouses, there is no hint of limousine or building car service. The complete absence of LIMSER in MLS supports that no limo or house car service is provided.

All remarks focus on residential use and location, with nothing about business or meeting facilities. With no MLS checks for MEEROO, the building almost certainly lacks a dedicated meeting room.

At least 10 of 12 listings explicitly feature a 'wrap around lanai', 'spacious lanai', or similar outdoor lanai space, often highlighting substantial square footage (e.g., 268–290 sq ft). Multiple agents emphasize indoor/outdoor living and using the lanai for relaxing and views, confirming building units commonly have patio/deck-type lanais. This consistent cross-agent description outweighs the under-reported MLS checkbox data.

Although the location near the Ala Wai Canal offers walking opportunities, no listing describes a dedicated jogging or walking path as a building amenity. With WAJOPA unchecked in MLS, the building does not appear to have its own jogging path.

Listings target adult lifestyle conveniences rather than family play amenities, and none mention a tot lot or playground. The complete absence of PLYGRND in MLS indicates no playground on site.

All outdoor references are to lanais and wrap-around balconies, with no indication of ground-level or fenced yard areas for any unit. Given the boutique high-rise character of Ala Wai Mansion and the absence of any 'yard' language or PRIYAR flags, it is very likely the building does not offer private yard space. Buyers seeking a private yard would not find this building suitable based on available evidence.

A putting green is a highly marketable feature that would almost certainly be highlighted if present. Since no remarks or MLS entries reference it, the building does not have a putting green.

Remarks emphasize wraparound lanais and nearby Waikiki attractions rather than any on-site recreation deck or amenity space. The absence of RECARE in MLS and in remarks indicates no formal recreation area.

Unit descriptions focus on in-unit features, storage, and parking, with no mention of a rec room or game room. With RECROO unchecked in all MLS records, a shared recreation room is very unlikely.

The building is marketed as close to dining in Waikiki rather than having its own restaurant. MLS data and the consistent phrasing in remarks indicate there is no in-building restaurant.

While some units mention wraparound lanais and penthouse levels, no listing refers to common rooftop access or a roof deck. The absence of ROOFDCK in MLS supports that there is no shared rooftop amenity.

Listings do not advertise any spa-type facilities like saunas or steam rooms. Combined with 0/12 SAUNA checks in MLS, this indicates there is no sauna in the building.

Storage is strongly supported across the listing remarks and appears in both building amenities and unit features. At least 7 listings explicitly mention it, with phrases like "additional storage space located just outside the front door," "assigned storage locker," and "storage locker included." This is consistent across multiple agents and looks like real building/unit storage rather than a copy-paste anomaly.

Listings mention general storage options such as storage lockers and extra storage on the unit floor, but none specify dedicated surfboard or board storage facilities. I searched for terms like surfboard storage, board storage, surf storage, and combined bike/surfboard storage and found no matches. Based on this absence, the building is assumed not to have dedicated surfboard storage.

No public remarks in any of the listings mention a tennis court (0 of 14). While 2 of 14 current MLS listings have TENCOU checked, historical review showed consistent omission of tennis facilities across prior remarks and the building is described as a small boutique property—evidence points to copy/paste checkbox errors rather than an actual tennis court.

Trash chute is supported by the historical MLS amenities data, with 8 of 16 listings marked TRACHU. None of the current remarks explicitly mention a trash/garbage chute, so this appears to be an MLS amenity signal rather than agent-described text, but it is still enough to treat the building as offering it.

Parking is described as 'one covered parking stall', 'assigned covered parking spot', and 'COVERED/SECURED parking', with no mention of any valet component. For a 10-story boutique building in Waikiki, valet service would be a notable amenity and is almost certainly not present given complete silence in remarks and MLS. Evidence strongly indicates there is no valet service at this property.

Remarks highlight covered/secured parking but do not indicate that the entire property is enclosed by a wall, fence, or gate. With no explicit references to a gated or fenced complex and no MLS amenity selections for GATED or WALFEN, the evidence suggests the building does not have perimeter wall/fence security as a defining feature.

In a competitive Waikiki market, a whirlpool or spa would normally be a selling point, yet it is never mentioned. With WHIRLP unchecked in all MLS records, the building almost certainly lacks a whirlpool amenity.

None of the 12 analyzed listings for this building reference a pool, lap pool, or any swimming facility in the remarks. MLS amenity fields for pool are unchecked in all cases, suggesting there is no shared pool in this building. Given how prominently agents typically advertise pools in Waikiki, this consistent absence is strong evidence that a pool is not present.

A heated pool is not mentioned in any of the 12 sets of public remarks, and the MLS amenities and pool_features fields show no indications of heating. Since the building appears not to have a pool at all, it necessarily does not have a heated pool.

The remarks were checked for terms like 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool', 'salt pool', or 'saline pool' and none were found. In the absence of any explicit reference, this building is assumed not to have a salt water pool.

Strong evidence supports in-unit laundry in this building. Multiple current remarks explicitly say "in-unit washer/dryer" or "washer and dryer," including several different listings and unit types, while historical MLS data also showed WASHER/DRYER in inclusions for nearly all recent listings. The consistency across listings makes this a high-confidence building feature available to buyers searching for in-unit laundry.

Across numerous listings, no remarks reference community/shared laundry, coin laundry, or a laundry room, even when other building amenities are described in detail. With only 1/12 MLS entries showing COMLAU against 11/12 omitting it and strong evidence of in-unit laundry instead, it is highly likely the building does not offer a separate community laundry facility.

Looked for terms such as 'coin laundry', 'card-operated laundry', 'laundry fee', or 'coin-op' and found no mentions. Since there is no evidence of paid community laundry in the remarks, this feature is set to false by default with moderate uncertainty.

Searched remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', or other shared laundry descriptions and found none. Repeated references to in-unit laundry suggest building-wide shared laundry on every floor is unlikely, but not definitively ruled out.

Multiple listings describe included parking such as 'one covered parking stall', '1 assigned parking stall', and 'one covered and secured parking space.' With every MLS record showing some form of parking and no 'NONE' entries, building parking is strongly supported across agents and listings.

Assigned parking is strongly supported across multiple remarks, with several listings stating '1 assigned parking stall' or 'assigned covered parking spot.' The evidence appears consistent across different agents and units, not just a single copied phrase, so this feature should be treated as present for the building.

Covered parking is very strongly supported for this building. Multiple recent listings explicitly mention covered or secured parking, including several references to "1 covered parking," "one covered parking stall," and "covered/secured parking," which looks consistent across different agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error.

I looked for language indicating deeded or owned parking such as "deeded parking," "owned stall," or "parking included in deed," and found none. The listings consistently describe parking as assigned, covered, or secured, which suggests included parking but not deeded ownership.

Across a large set of listings, no agent mentions EV charging or related infrastructure, and the EVCHRG checkbox is never used. Given how prominently such a feature is typically marketed, this strongly suggests the building does not currently offer EV charging stations.

I searched for references to parking fees, monthly parking charges, or rental costs for parking and found nothing. The remarks only describe parking as covered, assigned, or secured, with no indication of an extra monthly fee.

Listings focus on each unit’s own stall (covered, assigned, secured) and never mention guest or visitor parking. With 0/12 MLS guest codes and no textual references, it is very likely the building does not provide dedicated guest parking.

Multiple agents explicitly market 'secured parking' and 'covered and secured parking space', including a building-level note that 'not all units have secured parking.' This indicates that at least some parking in the building is behind a secure entry (e.g., gate or controlled access), even if MLS checkboxes weren’t updated.

Parking is consistently described as individual stalls or spots without any mention of tandem or back-to-back configurations. The absence of both MLS coding and textual references makes it likely that tandem parking is not a feature of this building.

Across all reviewed listings, there is no mention of valet or attended parking, and the VALET checkbox is never selected. Given how prominently valet amenities are usually advertised, this is strong evidence that the building does not offer valet parking.

I looked for phrases like "parking waitlist," "waiting list," or "join waitlist for parking" and found none. There is no public-remarks evidence that parking is managed through a waitlist.

Public remarks focus on views, lanais, parking, and interior renovations but never mention keyed or fob-controlled elevator access. Combined with the absence of the elevator security amenity in all MLS entries, this indicates the building does not offer keyed elevator security as a notable feature.

Public remarks were reviewed for terms such as key card access, fob access, card reader, electronic access, or keycard entry and none were found. While 'secured parking' is mentioned, it does not clearly indicate a building-wide card/fob access system, so this feature is assumed not present based on available information.

Across 12 listings for Ala Wai Mansion, no remarks reference a security guard, 24/7 security, or on-site security staff. The corresponding MLS amenity box (SECGUA) is unchecked in all cases, which strongly suggests the building does not offer guard service.

The remarks were checked for indications of active security patrols, including phrases like security patrol, roving security, or patrol service, and none were present. In the absence of any explicit reference to such services, this feature is assumed not to exist in the building based on current data.

There is no explicit reference to video surveillance or security cameras in any of the 12 public remarks. With the MLS security system checkbox consistently left blank, the evidence points to the building not having a formal video security system as a marketed feature.

Across 12 listings, there are zero explicit references to central air or HVAC and no MLS central AC checkmarks. Multiple remarks highlight that only a few units have approved split AC, indicating cooling is not provided by a central system. Together this strongly supports that the building does not have central AC.

Multiple listings explicitly mention split/mini-split systems: phrases include 'Stay cool year-round with split AC' and 'One of the only units with approved split AC in bedrooms,' appearing in at least 3 separate remarks. Historical MLS checkbox data (3/15) and repeated agent remarks across different listings provide strong, corroborating evidence that some units have split AC.

No public remarks explicitly reference 'window AC' or 'window unit,' but 4 of 15 current MLS inclusion checkboxes list ACWIUN and prior confidence was Medium. Because checkbox data suggests some agents report window units but remarks do not corroborate, include the feature with moderate confidence (likely some units may have window AC, though agent copy/paste cannot be ruled out).

Concrete construction is very strongly supported by the MLS record: 17 out of 17 current listings identify the building with CONCRE as the construction material. None of the public remarks suggest a different construction type, so this appears to be consistent MLS data rather than a copy-paste error.

Double‑wall construction appears on just 2 of 12 listings and is not supported or discussed in remarks, suggesting inconsistent agent use rather than a defining structural type. Given the predominately concrete characterization, the building is treated as not double‑wall construction.

Hollow tile construction is absent from all MLS construction_materials selections (0/12 with HOLTIL) and from all public remarks. With consistent concrete labeling, hollow‑tile construction is considered not present as a defining building feature.

Masonry/stucco is never checked in MLS and not described in any of the remarks. The data pattern indicates the building is not characterized as masonry and stucco construction in this market/MLS context.

Only 2 of 14 current listings list steel-frame (STEFRA) while all listings consistently indicate concrete and remarks contain no reference to steel framing. The sparse, isolated STEFRA entries appear to be copy/paste or data-entry mistakes, so steel-frame construction is not supported.

Despite the likelihood of some form of concrete foundation, the specific MLS SLAB construction flag is never used for this building (0/12) and is not referenced in remarks. Following the MLS pattern, the building is treated as not having slab construction as a recorded feature.

No analysis available

Wood frame construction is never checked in MLS (0/12 with WOOFRA) and is inconsistent with a 10‑story Waikiki condo tower. With no remarks suggesting wood framing, the building is treated as non‑wood‑frame construction.

Above‑ground construction is marked in MLS for 4 out of 12 units, and never explicitly contradicted. Although not universal across listings, the repeated checkbox use suggests the building is recognized in MLS as having above‑ground construction elements.

Brick construction is never selected in MLS and is not mentioned anywhere in the remarks across 12 listings. Given the market norms and data, the building is treated as not having brick construction.

No MLS listing marks single wall, and remarks never mention it; single‑wall is generally limited to older low‑rise Hawaii homes, not concrete condo towers. This building is therefore treated as not having single‑wall construction.

I searched for STR-related terms including "short-term rental allowed," "TVU," "NUC," and similar vacation-rental language, and found none. The listings mention rental income potential and vacation-home use, but nothing that confirms short-term rentals are allowed in the building.

I looked for hotel pool or hotel-managed rental program references and found none in the remarks. Because STR permission is not established and no hotel-program language appears, this feature is not supported.

I searched for language such as "mandatory hotel pool," "must participate," or "cannot opt out" and found nothing. With no evidence of any hotel pool program in the remarks, mandatory participation is also unsupported.

One set of remarks calls a unit an "amazing FEE SIMPLE opportunity," confirming that some units in Ala Wai Mansion are fee simple. Across the provided 12 listings, at least 1 is clearly FS and 2 are clearly LH, showing a mix of tenure types in the building. Buyers can therefore find fee simple units here even though some units remain leasehold.

At least two listings clearly describe leasehold tenure, including phrases like "lease until 2050" and references to a past renegotiation where the leasehold was offered for conversion to fee simple. Among the three tenure-specified listings in these remarks, 2 are LH and 1 is FS, confirming that leasehold units (with a lease currently going to 2050) are present alongside fee simple units. This mixed-tenure profile is important for buyers evaluating long-term ownership and lease terms.

Several listings directly mention the lease expiring in 2050, which is the clearest and most recent lease-end year in the remarks. No later extension or renewal date appears in the provided text, so 2050 is used.

I searched the public remarks for explicit VA loan approval language such as "VA approved" or "VA financing" and found none. With no VA-related wording in any listing, there is no evidence this building is VA loan approved from public remarks.

I searched for insurance language such as 'fully insured,' 'full insurance,' 'walls-in coverage,' or similar HOA coverage descriptions, but found none. References to maintenance fees being inclusive do not establish full building insurance, so this remains unsupported by the remarks.

Agents do not reference fire sprinklers or fire suppression systems in any of the provided public remarks. Given the lack of mention and unchecked MLS amenity fields, there is insufficient evidence to confidently state whether a building-wide sprinkler system exists.

I looked for phrases like 'FLSE passed,' 'fire life safety evaluation passed,' 'fire safety certified,' or 'passed fire inspection,' but none appeared in the remarks. With no current verified value and no supporting language, this is treated as not evidenced in the listing remarks.

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

Several independently written listings describe ocean exposure, including 'sweeping views of Waikiki Beach' and 'breathtaking views of ... the ocean,' as well as a 'peekaboo ocean view.' Together with 2/12 MLS entries tagging OCEAN, this shows that at least some units in Ala Wai Mansion have ocean views.

Mountain views are strongly supported. Current remarks mention them in multiple listings, including “surrounding mountains,” “majestic mountains,” “Koolau Mountain Range,” and “mountains, sunrise, and Honolulu city lights.” This is consistent across several agents and looks like genuine building-level view availability, not a copy-paste error.

Diamond Head is explicitly referenced in numerous remarks, including 'iconic Diamond Head' and 'sweeping views ... towards Diamond Head.' Alongside 3/12 MLS entries tagging DIAMOND HEAD, this confirms that some units offer Diamond Head views.

City views are very well documented across the listings. Remarks include “city views,” “city skyline,” “the city,” and “Honolulu city lights by night,” with multiple independent descriptions confirming the feature. The evidence is broad and consistent, so this should remain included.

Descriptions like 'sweeping views of Waikiki Beach' indicate more than just a distant ocean, implying shoreline/coastline visibility. Along with 2/12 MLS entries marking COASTLINE, this suggests that some units enjoy coastline views.

Agents consistently focus on canal, ocean, mountain, Diamond Head, and city views without any references to garden or courtyard outlooks. With no MLS entries tagging GARDEN, there is no evidence that garden views are a notable feature of this building.

Historical MLS flags for golf course were limited (2/14) and none of the current public remarks mention golf course or fairway views. Given the lack of explicit references in remarks and only a small number of historical flags, there is weak evidence the building offers golf course views.

Marina/canal-type views are strongly supported by repeated references to the Ala Wai Canal, including “beautiful Ala Wai Canal and city views,” “stunning views of the Ala Wai canal,” and “views of Ala Wai Canal.” The remarks are consistent across many listings and clearly indicate this building offers canal/marina-oriented views.

At least one agent explicitly advertises 'views of ... sunrise,' indicating an eastern exposure from some units. Together with 3/12 MLS entries tagging SUNRISE, this supports that some units in the building offer sunrise views.

While no remark literally mentions 'sunset,' several describe wide panoramas and 180-degree views, which often include evening exposure. With 3/12 MLS listings checking SUNSET, some units likely offer sunset views.

Agents repeatedly highlight many view types (canal, ocean, mountains, Diamond Head, city, sunrise) but never mention a cemetery. Given the total absence of cemetery references in remarks and MLS tags, cemetery views are very unlikely for this building.

There are detailed view descriptions but no statement that residents can watch Friday night fireworks from the units or lanais. I specifically looked for mentions of 'fireworks' or watching fireworks from the building and found none.

No analysis available

At least 6 of 12 listings clearly advertise the building as 'pet friendly' or having a 'pet-friendly policy', often in building-level descriptions rather than unit-specific exceptions. No listings contradict this or mention restrictions like 'no pets'. This consistent cross-listing language plus absence of NOPET flags supports that pets are allowed in the building.

4 of 14 recent MLS entries for this building list 'RESMAN' (resident/on-site manager) in amenities, but none of the provided public remarks mention a resident or live-in manager. The historical assessment was Low confidence and the remarks show no explicit confirmation, suggesting the amenity may be inconsistently applied by agents (possible copy/paste). Marked as present with low confidence pending direct owner/manager verification or consistent agent remarks.

Remarks focus on residential use—'call this place home', 'full-time home', 'live and work', 'ideal for investors or owner occupants'—without any reference to nightly rentals or hotel management. The absence of condotel keywords and CONDOT coding across all listings strongly indicates Ala Wai Mansion is a standard condominium, not a condotel. Buyers looking specifically for condotel operations would not find them here based on current evidence.

One listing highlights a 'FEE SIMPLE opportunity' and another discusses leasehold renegotiation, both indicating condominium-style tenure rather than share-based cooperative ownership. No agent uses 'co-op', 'cooperative', or similar language across 12 listings, which would be expected if it were a co-op. Given this and only a single COOTAX flag, the building is best classified as a condo, not a cooperative.
