Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
Consistent MLS property data across 8 listings indicate the building was constructed in 1968. No public remarks mention any alternative construction year or full rebuild that would override this.
Listings in this building show units as high as the 14th floor, and no remarks indicate a higher or penthouse/top floor. Following the rule to use the highest observed floor number when no explicit story count is given, the building is treated as having 14 floors, though this should be considered an informed minimum estimate.
The only structural clue is a remark that there are "only 3 units per floor" combined with MLS data showing at least 14 floors with units, suggesting roughly 42 units. Because no agent explicitly cites a total unit count, this figure is an estimate rather than a confirmed number.
The remarks were searched for numerical owner-occupancy percentages and phrases like 'high owner occupancy' or 'mostly owner-occupied,' but none appear. With no new evidence, the existing 47% owner-occupancy figure is kept.
Listings clearly state that the building has an elevator, but none indicate how many. Given existing data of 1 elevator for this 17-story, 44-unit building and no contradictory evidence, the count of 1 elevator is retained.
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.
At least 4 listings clearly note central A/C is included in the monthly fees. All 8 MLS entries mark central AC as an included association expense. The consistency across agents and listings provides very strong evidence this is a core building feature.
At least 4 of 8 listings explicitly say the HOA/maintenance includes cable TV, and another mentions cable at a fixed monthly charge, suggesting a building-wide contracted service. MLS data (CABTV checked in 7/8 listings) aligns with the remarks. Wording is similar across multiple listings, indicating a widely understood building feature rather than a one-off error.
While no remarks explicitly say 'common area electricity,' nearly all MLS listings check the code for common/other electricity in the association fee. Given this strong MLS consensus and the building being a mid/high-rise with elevators and common areas, it's very likely common-area electric is paid from the maintenance fee.
None of the 8 listings or remarks reference cooperative ownership or co-op tax structures. All MLS records leave the co-op tax inclusion box unchecked, supporting that coop taxes are not applicable or included here.
At least 5 listings specifically mention electricity being covered by the fees, often alongside other utilities. Every MLS record shows electricity as an association-included item, so inclusion of electric service in the maintenance fee is essentially certain.
Several listings carefully list which utilities are included and omit gas every time. No MLS listing checks gas as an included item, indicating gas is not part of the building’s provided or HOA-covered utilities.
At least 3 listings clearly list hot water as one of the HOA-covered utilities. All MLS records mark hot water as included and none suggest unit-specific water heaters, confirming building-supplied hot water is part of the maintenance fee.
At least 4 listings state that internet service is part of the included utilities, some specifying Spectrum internet. Almost all current MLS records also show internet as an association-included item, giving strong evidence that internet is covered by the maintenance fee.
Although the building is across from the harbor and mentions nearby marina-related amenities, there is no indication that marina access or boat slip fees are paid through the HOA. All MLS entries leave the marina-included checkbox empty, supporting that marina costs are separate.
Multiple remarks name sewer alongside electricity, hot water, water, cable, and internet as being covered by the fees. Every MLS record confirms sewer is included, providing strong building-wide evidence.
At least 3 listings clearly list water among the included utilities, sometimes in conjunction with 'ALL utilities' language. All current MLS records also show water as included in the association fee, making this a well-established building feature.
Multiple listings describe lanais, views, and nearby beaches and parks but never mention BBQ or grill areas. With BBQ not selected in any MLS amenities and no textual mention, it is very likely the building lacks shared BBQ facilities.
Zero of eight current listings mark bike storage in building amenities, and no remarks mention a bike room, bicycle storage, or bike racks. With consistent omission across multiple agents and listings, the evidence strongly indicates the building does not provide dedicated bike storage facilities.
Proximity to the Ala Wai Boat Harbor is described as a location benefit, not as ownership of dock facilities. With MARINA unchecked in every listing, the building itself does not appear to have a boat dock or marina access as an amenity.
Parking and an optional nearby pool (via Waikiki Marina) are mentioned, but no car wash facility is described. The consistent absence of CRWSH in MLS amenities suggests the building lacks car wash services.
Across 8 listings, amenities like pet-friendliness, security, and utilities are stressed, but a clubhouse is never mentioned. With CLUHOU unchecked throughout, it is highly likely there is no clubhouse.
None of the listings reference concierge or front desk services, despite describing several other amenities and an on-site resident manager. This consistent omission, along with unchecked MLS boxes, indicates the building does not offer concierge service.
Agents emphasize that the building is "Pet Friendly" but do not mention any dedicated pet run or dog park. The absence of DGPRK in MLS across all listings strongly suggests there is no on-site dog park.
Across all provided remarks, there is no mention of a doorman or lobby attendant, which would typically be prominently advertised if present. The repeated focus on a resident manager rather than staffed door service strongly indicates there is no doorman.
None of the 8 current listings mention any gym, fitness room, or exercise facility, and the EXEROO amenity is never checked in the MLS data. Agents repeatedly list other amenities but omit any reference to an exercise room, indicating the building does not offer one.
Even though some listings market the property as a strong investment and urban home, they do not mention chauffeur or car services typical of luxury towers. With LIMSER at 0/8, we can be very confident there is no limo or house car service.
Listings never mention any conference or meeting facilities, focusing instead on residential and security features. The MEEROO amenity is also absent in all 8 listings, indicating no meeting room amenity.
Multiple independent listings describe units with a 'large covered lanai', 'spacious lanai', or a specific '128 sq ft lanai'. This strongly indicates that balconies/lanai-style patio spaces are a standard feature in this building, not a one-off penthouse amenity.
The remarks talk about proximity to Ala Moana Beach Park and urban conveniences, not a dedicated jogging path within the property. With WAJOPA absent from all amenities, the building appears not to have its own jogging/walking path.
Amenities described are oriented toward adults (views, utilities included, security) with no mention of kids' play structures or playgrounds. With PLYGRND unchecked in 8/8 listings, the building almost certainly lacks a playground.
All remarks focus on lanais and views rather than any yard or enclosed ground-level outdoor space. Given the urban high-rise setting and lack of any 'yard' references, it's very likely the building offers no private yard areas.
None of the marketing language references golf or a putting green, and PUTGRE is 0/8 in amenities. This combination makes it highly likely the building does not have a putting green.
Agents describe lanais and proximity to parks and the beach, but not any on-site recreation deck or amenity deck. The consistent lack of RECARE and textual mention supports that the building does not have a designated recreation area.
The only shared interior spaces mentioned are community laundry and general building access (elevator, gated entry). With no mention of a rec room and RECROO unchecked in all listings, a recreation room is very unlikely.
Agents highlight that the building is within walking distance to world-class dining and shopping rather than hosting those services itself. The RESTAU checkbox is never used, indicating the building does not contain a restaurant amenity.
Views are described from the lanai and unit windows, not from a shared rooftop or roof deck. With ROOFDCK never selected and no textual reference, the building appears not to offer rooftop amenities.
Agents list many selling points (utilities included, central AC, security, pet friendly) but never mention a sauna. The lack of SAUNA in all MLS records strongly indicates there is no sauna amenity.
At least one listing explicitly advertises a 'highly-coveted exterior storage closet (for $30/month)', which indicates dedicated building storage beyond in-unit closets. This aligns with 5 of 8 MLS entries checking storage in amenities and 1 of 8 in unit features. While only one remark spells it out, the combination of checkbox data and detailed description supports that the building offers storage units/lockers to some residents.
The remarks were searched for terms like 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', or combined bike/surfboard storage, but none were present. References to storage appear to be general unit or exterior storage closets, not surfboard-specific. In the absence of explicit mentions, surfboard storage is assumed not to be provided by the building.
Listings focus on location near Ala Moana, views, and utilities but never mention tennis or courts. Combined with MLS data showing 0/8 listings checking TENCOU, this strongly indicates there is no tennis court amenity.
Agents repeatedly describe utilities, sprinklers, community laundry, and security features, but do not reference a trash chute, and TRACHU is 0/8 in the amenities data. This consistent omission suggests the building likely does not advertise or offer a trash chute system.
Agents consistently describe conventional parking (e.g., 'covered parking', 'parking space "D"') without any 'valet' or 'valet parking' language. This pattern strongly suggests the building does not offer valet service.
One listing calls the property a "Secure gated community," and at least two listings note a "gated entry," aligning with MLS GATED/WALFEN checkboxes on several units. This consistent language across different remarks strongly supports that the property is enclosed by a gate or fence.
One listing notes access to a neighboring Waikiki Marina pool, but not a whirlpool or spa within this building. With no WHIRLP amenity checked and no textual mention, the building itself appears not to have a whirlpool/hot tub.
None of the 8 listings advertise a building pool in the remarks or checked amenities, despite repeatedly listing other amenities like gated entry, resident manager, and community laundry. The only pool reference is to the separate 'Waikiki Marina Pool' accessible by fob, which suggests the subject building itself does not have its own pool.
No listing remarks or MLS amenity fields reference a heated pool, and the building does not appear to have a pool at all. Given the complete absence of any 'heated' or similar language and no pool amenity, a heated pool is not present in this building.
No listing remarks reference a salt water, saltwater, salt, or saline pool for this building. The only pool-related comment refers to 'Waikiki Marina Pool' access, without specifying it as a saltwater facility, so the presence of a saltwater pool is unlikely based on current remarks.
Several listings explicitly note that washer/dryer installation is allowed in-unit with approval and one unit advertises an existing 'in-unit washer', while another mentions 'in-unit laundry hook-ups'. Even though only 1/8 MLS checkboxes show washer/dryer, the narrative remarks from multiple agents confirm that in-unit laundry is present or possible in at least some units. Buyers seeking buildings that offer or allow in-unit laundry would reasonably consider this building as having that option.
Multiple listings describe 'community laundry downstairs' and list 'community laundry' as a building feature, and 7/8 MLS entries have the COMLAU amenity checked. This shows consistent, building-wide availability of shared laundry facilities across different agents and units. Community laundry is a clearly established amenity for this property.
The remarks confirm community laundry but are silent about whether it is free or pay-per-use. No terms like coin-operated, card-operated, quarters, or paid laundry were found, so the payment status cannot be confirmed and is assumed false by default.
Listings clearly confirm the presence of community laundry but specify it as being "downstairs," implying a shared facility on a lower level instead of on each floor. No language such as "laundry on every floor" or "laundry room on each floor" appears in any remarks.
Multiple listings confirm parking, including mentions of a dedicated "parking space 'D'" and units that "come with 1 of only 6 covered parking stalls." 8/8 current MLS records show parking codes (OPEN/COVERED/GARAGE/etc.) and none show 'NONE', indicating the building offers parking options.
Remarks show that some units have individually designated stalls, such as "parking space 'D'" available with a fob and a unit that "comes with 1 of only 6 covered parking stalls." This, combined with 6/8 MLS entries checked as ASSIGN, strongly indicates assigned parking is available in the building.
One listing explicitly lists "covered parking" among building amenities, and another states the unit "comes with 1 of only 6 covered parking stalls." Together with 5/8 MLS entries showing covered/garage codes, this supports that the building offers covered stalls (though limited in number).
Multiple listings reference covered parking and, in one case, that a unit "comes with" a specific covered stall, suggesting that at least some stalls are owned/assigned with units. No explicit terms like "deeded" or "owned stall" are used, but the phrasing strongly implies parking is included with certain units. Based on this, the building is treated as having deeded/owned parking for at least some units.
No listing remarks mention EV charging, Tesla chargers, or stations, and the EVCHRG checkbox is absent on all available MLS records. Given this and the building’s age/profile, it is very likely the building does not offer dedicated EV charging at this time.
The remarks were checked for phrases such as "parking fee," "monthly parking charge," "additional parking cost," or "parking rental" and none were found. Without explicit mention of a separate recurring parking cost, the existence or amount of any parking fee remains unknown. Therefore this field is left as unknown (null).
Across all provided listings, there are no references to guest or visitor parking, and the GUEST feature is never selected in MLS data. This suggests the building does not provide dedicated guest parking stalls.
Listings describe the property as a "Secure gated community" with building features including "gated entry" and "video cameras," and one notes parking space 'D' requires a fob. Combined with 5/8 MLS entries flagged SECENT, this strongly supports that parking is behind secured, controlled access.
None of the listings refer to any stalls as tandem, nor do the MLS parking_features include TANDEM for this building. This strongly indicates that tandem-style parking is not a characteristic offering here.
There are no references to valet, attended parking, or similar services in any remarks, and the VALET checkbox is never marked in MLS data. Given the building’s profile and complete lack of mention, it is almost certain that valet parking is not provided.
The text was reviewed for terms like "parking waitlist," "waiting list for parking," or similar indications of a queue system. None of the listings reference any such process. In the absence of evidence, it is assumed there is no formal parking waitlist for the building.
Listings reference an elevator but never describe it as keyed, fob-access, restricted, or otherwise secure. Given that such a feature is typically highlighted and is not mentioned anywhere, the building almost certainly does not have keyed elevator security.
Listing remarks were searched for terms like key card, fob, card reader, and electronic access. While security and gated entry are mentioned, there is no clear evidence that this building itself uses a card/fob access system, so card access is marked as not present based on current information.
None of the eight listings mention a security guard or 24/7 security staff, despite multiple references to other security features like "secured entry" and an "on-site resident manager." Given the complete absence of guard-related terms in remarks and MLS checkboxes, this building is very unlikely to have security-guard service.
Remarks were checked for mentions of security patrol, roving guards, or patrolled services and none were found. In the absence of any explicit evidence, security patrol is assumed not to be provided for this building.
Two listings clearly describe building features as including "video cameras" along with gated entry and an on-site resident manager. This repeated, explicit language provides strong evidence that the building has video surveillance despite unchecked MLS boxes.
Multiple listings explicitly state the building has central AC, with phrases like 'central AC' and 'run the central A/C for free, as it's included in the HOA fee.' MLS checkbox data (7 of 8 listings) also consistently indicate central AC. Evidence is strong and consistent across different agents and remark wordings, confirming a building-wide central system.
Across all provided listings, AC is consistently described as central and included in the HOA fee, with no mention of mini-splits or ductless units. The MLS split AC checkbox is never selected (0 of 8), indicating the building is not marketed as offering split AC in its units. Evidence strongly suggests there is no building-level or typical split AC feature to advertise to buyers.
No listing mentions window or wall AC; instead, they emphasize central AC included in maintenance fees. With 0 of 8 MLS listings indicating window AC, and remarks focusing solely on central AC, it is highly likely the building does not offer or market window AC as a feature. Buyers searching for window AC–dependent buildings would not find this an appropriate match.
Concrete construction is strongly indicated by the MLS data, with 8 of 8 listings marking CONCRE. No remarks describe any non-concrete primary structure, so the evidence consistently supports a concrete building.
Three listings explicitly mark double wall construction, and none contradict it. This pattern implies that double wall construction is present in at least some parts of the building.
No listing identifies hollow tile construction, and agents only select concrete as the construction material. In the absence of any mention across multiple listings, hollow tile construction is unlikely.
Neither MLS checkboxes nor remarks indicate masonry or stucco construction. The uniform concrete designation suggests masonry/stucco is not a primary construction type here.
MLS data never lists steel frame, and every listing cites concrete construction instead. With no textual evidence of steel framing, a steel frame structure is very unlikely.
Two listings indicate slab construction and no listings indicate a different foundation type. Combined with typical construction practices for Waikiki concrete towers, this supports slab construction with moderate confidence.
No analysis available
No listings identify wood frame construction, and all instead specify concrete. Given the building type and consistent MLS data, wood frame construction can be ruled out with high confidence.
Above-ground construction is never selected in MLS data and would be unusual for this style of concrete condo tower. The evidence supports that it is not classified as above-ground construction in MLS terms.
There are no references to brick construction in MLS checkboxes or remarks. The consistent concrete designation across all listings supports excluding brick construction.
Single wall construction is never indicated and would be atypical for this type of high-rise. The MLS data and building description strongly support that it is not single-wall construction.
Public remarks repeatedly specify a 30-day minimum rental term, indicating that nightly or short-term rentals are not permitted. No listing mentions STR certificates, TVU/NUC, or hotel-style transient use. Based on this, short-term rentals are not allowed in this building.
Listings describe the property as a residential/investment condo with 30-day minimum rentals and make no reference to any hotel-run rental program or condotel operations. Given the explicit 30-day minimum and lack of hotel-program language, the building does not participate in a hotel rental pool.
There are no remarks suggesting the existence of a hotel rental pool, let alone a requirement to participate. With 30-day minimum rentals and no condotel language, there is no evidence of a mandatory hotel rental pool for this building.
One of the 8 listings clearly states it is a "fee simple" unit, and none of the remarks mention leasehold or land lease terms. Thus, the building is confirmed to have fee simple units (at least 1 of 8 listings explicitly FS, 0 of 8 explicitly LH).
No listings describe units as leasehold or reference lease rent or expiration, while at least one unit is explicitly fee simple. This pattern across multiple agents and listings makes it highly likely that the building does not offer leasehold units.
The remarks describe at least one unit as fee simple and never reference a land lease, leasehold status, or any expiration or renewal year. Because the feature only applies when land tenure is leasehold and no such lease is mentioned, there is no lease expiry year to extract. The value is therefore null, with high confidence that no lease expiry data exists in these remarks.
An assumable VA loan is explicitly mentioned for a unit in this building, which typically requires VA project approval at the time the loan was originated. While the remarks do not literally say 'VA approved building', the presence of an active VA loan strongly suggests VA eligibility. Because current project approval status is not explicitly confirmed, the confidence is moderate rather than high.
Listings were reviewed for any mention of comprehensive or walls-in HOA insurance coverage and none were found. In the absence of explicit statements about full building insurance, this is marked as not fully insured by HOA.
Several independent listings highlight fire sprinklers as a key safety feature, with wording such as "building features fire sprinklers" and "in-unit fire sprinklers." Combined with FIRSPR checked in 8/8 MLS records, this confirms a building fire sprinkler system with very high confidence.
The text was checked for phrases like 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', or 'passed fire inspection' and none were found. While sprinklers are present, there is no explicit evidence that a formal fire/life safety evaluation has been passed.
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
At least two remarks mention direct 'ocean' views (e.g., 'gorgeous views of the ocean'), and one listing notes being across the street from the ocean on Ala Moana Blvd. Combined with 5/8 MLS records checking OCEAN and none indicating 'NONE', this strongly supports that some units in the building have ocean views.
Remarks reference 'gorgeous views of the ... mountains' and 'green mauka views from the front door,' indicating mountain-facing exposures in the building. With 2/8 MLS entries also checking MOUNTAIN and no entries marked as 'NONE', it's clear that some units enjoy mountain views.
Across all provided remarks, views are described in terms of ocean, marina/harbor, mountains, city, sunrise/sunset, and fireworks, with no mention of Diamond Head. Given the consistent omission and 0/8 MLS entries marking Diamond Head, it's very likely the building does not offer notable Diamond Head views.
One listing describes enjoying 'views of the Waikiki,' implying a cityscape/urban skyline view. Together with 3/8 MLS records checking CITY, this supports that some units have city views.
Remarks place the building directly across from the ocean and Ala Wai/Yacht Harbor, and multiple listings emphasize expansive ocean/marina vistas from higher floors. Although 'coastline' isn't named in the remarks, 2/8 MLS records check COASTLINE, suggesting some units see the shoreline/coastline distinctly.
Listings emphasize ocean, marina, mountain, and city views, and do not describe any notable garden or courtyard outlooks. With 0/8 MLS records checking GARDEN, garden views appear not to be a defining feature of this building.
All described views focus on ocean, marina/harbor, mountains, city/Waikiki, sunrise/sunset, and fireworks, with no reference to any golf course. Combined with 0/8 MLS records checking GOLF COURSE, it's very likely the building does not offer golf course views.
Several listings highlight 'Ala Wai Harbor and sunset views,' 'stunning marina sunset views,' 'Gorgeous ocean and Marina views,' and lanais 'across from Ala Wai Boat Harbor.' With 4/8 MLS entries marking MARINA/CANAL and none indicating no view, marina/harbor views are a prominent feature of some units.
One remark notes a 'large covered lanai to enjoy the sunrise or sunset,' indicating some units have an aspect suitable for morning sun/sunrise views. This, combined with 2/8 MLS records tagging SUNRISE, supports including sunrise views as available in the building.
Listings mention 'sunset views,' 'stunning marina sunset views,' and watching Hilton's Friday Night Fireworks from the lanai, all signaling strong sunset/west-facing exposures. With 4/8 MLS records explicitly marking SUNSET, sunset views are clearly a key feature for some units.
Across all eight sets of remarks, no agent references a cemetery or similar view, despite extensive descriptions of other outlooks. Given the urban beachfront/harbor context and 0/8 MLS entries for CEMETERY, it's highly likely there are no notable cemetery views from this building.
Multiple remarks clearly state that residents can watch Friday night fireworks directly from the units and lanais. This directly satisfies the requirement for a fireworks view from the building. Given multiple consistent references, this is marked true with high confidence.
No analysis available
At least four separate listings highlight that the building is 'Pet Friendly' or 'pet-friendly', and no remarks contradict this. This repeated emphasis by multiple agents indicates that pets are allowed in the building.
Public remarks state that building amenities include an "onsite resident manager" or "on-site resident manager," and this is consistently reflected in the MLS amenities. The repeated mention across multiple listings confirms the presence of an on-site resident manager.
The remarks frame the building as a residential condo allowing 30-day minimum rentals, not nightly hotel-style stays. In the absence of any 'condotel' or hotel-program language, it is very likely not operated as a condotel.
The building is described as fee simple and marketed like a standard condominium, with no references to shares, co-op boards, or cooperative ownership. This strongly supports that it is not a co-op.
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.
