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 language such as '80% owner occupied,' 'majority owner occupied,' or a specific percentage, but the remarks only use general phrases like 'investors or owner occupants alike.' With no numeric evidence, the current 57% owner occupancy is kept.

I searched the public remarks for elevator-related wording such as 'elevator,' 'lift,' 'multiple elevators,' and explicit counts like '4 elevators,' but found nothing. With no remark evidence to override the current value, 1 elevator is kept.

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.

Strong, repeated evidence that cable is included in the maintenance fee. Several listings directly state 'Cable TV' or 'Cable' is included, and the current MLS data also shows CABTV in the association fee inclusions for most records.

Implied inclusion of common-area electricity: 11 of 15 MLS records include OTCOEX and many remarks state 'electricity' or 'maintenance includes electricity'. Remarks do not always distinguish unit vs common power, but the repeated MLS OTCOEX entries and consistent agent remarks imply common-area electricity is covered.

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.

Very strong evidence that electricity is included. Multiple listings explicitly say 'electricity is included' or 'Maintenance fee includes Electricity,' and the MLS checkbox is filled in across almost all records, suggesting consistent building-level inclusion.

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.

Strong, consistent evidence shows sewer is included. Current remarks say 'sewer' is included in the maintenance fee, and the MLS data is nearly unanimous across listings, indicating this is a building-level feature.

Very strong evidence that water is included in the maintenance fee. Several remarks explicitly say 'water included' or 'Maintenance fee includes ... water,' and the MLS records are almost entirely consistent across listings.

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.

High-confidence evidence that some units have in-unit laundry: MLS inclusions show WASHER/DRYER in 15/15 current listings, and numerous public remarks explicitly state "in-unit washer and dryer" and "washer/dryer". This is consistently reported across multiple listings/agents rather than appearing as a single outlier, so buyers searching for in-unit laundry should consider this building.

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 well supported, with many listings explicitly describing covered or secured parking and the current MLS data showing it on nearly all listings. The repeated language across multiple remarks makes this high-confidence building-level feature.

The listings consistently describe parking as assigned, covered, or secured, which suggests included parking but not deeded ownership. I did not find any wording like deeded parking, owned stall, or parking included in the deed.

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 looked for references to parking fees, monthly parking costs, or rental charges for parking and found none. The remarks describe parking as included or assigned, but do not mention any additional parking payment.

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 searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', or similar language and found nothing. There is no public-remarks evidence of a parking 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 strongly supported by the MLS data: 16 out of 16 current listings list CONCRE as the construction material. Historical records also indicated high confidence, and nothing in the public remarks suggests a change away from concrete. This is consistent across the building rather than a one-off agent comment.

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 all remarks for short-term rental language, including STR permitted, TVU, NUC, and vacation rental references, and found none. There is no evidence from the remarks that short-term rentals are allowed.

I looked for hotel pool or hotel-managed rental program references such as Hilton pool, Ritz pool, or hotel rental program and found none. Since the remarks do not indicate STR eligibility, hotel pool participation is not supported.

I searched for language like mandatory hotel pool, required participation, or cannot opt out and found nothing. The public remarks do not indicate any rental pool program, mandatory or otherwise.

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 explicitly mention the lease term ending in 2050. No remarks indicate a later extension, so 2050 is used as the lease expiry year.

I searched the public remarks for VA loan approval language and found none. With no explicit VA-related wording, there is no evidence this building is VA approved.

I searched the remarks for wording about full building insurance or walls-in coverage, but found none. The references to maintenance fees being inclusive of electricity, water, sewer, cable, and internet are not insurance evidence, so there is no support for marking the building as fully insured.

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 indicating the building passed fire/life safety evaluation, including 'FLSE passed,' 'fire safety certified,' and 'passed fire inspection,' but there were no such mentions. Since the remarks do not confirm compliance, this remains unverified and is treated as false based on absence of evidence in the listings.

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 across many listings, with multiple remarks explicitly stating views of the mountains or Koolau Mountain Range. This appears consistently across different agents and unit types, not just copy-pasted in one listing.

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 well-documented: approximately 8 of the provided listings explicitly mention city/downtown views or 'Honolulu city lights' (quotes: 'city skyline', 'Honolulu city lights by night'). Historical MLS data also showed CITY for the vast majority of listings (14/15), and current remarks from multiple agents consistently describe city views rather than single-agent copy/paste.

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 view evidence is very strong, with many listings explicitly mentioning the Ala Wai Canal or Ala Wai views. The remarks consistently describe these views across multiple listings and agents, indicating this is a real building-level selling point rather than MLS noise.

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.
