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.
I searched for any explicit owner-occupancy statement, such as a percentage or wording like "majority owner occupied," and found none. Since a current value exists, it should be retained with low confidence because the remarks neither confirm nor deny it.
The public remarks consistently reference a single elevator rather than multiple elevators. This supports keeping the current value of 1. I looked for numeric elevator counts like "2 elevators" or "multiple elevators" and found none.
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 6–7 of 9 remarks explicitly state central A/C is included in the HOA fees (quotes: 'central AC', 'air conditioning included', 'run the central A/C for free'). Strong, consistent evidence across multiple listings and agents.
At least 6–7 of 9 listing remarks state HOA/maintenance covers cable TV (phrases: 'cable TV included', 'ALL utilities'). One remark contradicts with 'Cable TV is an additional $35 per month', but overall evidence across multiple agents and MLS checkbox history supports cable being included.
Most listings (around 6–7 of 9) indicate electricity/maintenance is all-inclusive; while few explicitly say 'common area electricity', the strong pattern of included electricity implies common area power is covered by fees.
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 7 of 9 remark blocks explicitly mention electricity being covered by HOA/maintenance fees (phrases: 'electricity', 'maintenance all inclusive', 'HOA fees cover ALL utilities'), showing strong, consistent evidence.
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 5–7 of 9 remarks explicitly include hot water among HOA-covered utilities ('hot water' and 'ALL utilities' mentions). No indications of in-unit water heaters in the remarks, supporting building-supplied hot water being included.
Around 6–7 of 9 listings mention internet included ('internet included', 'Spectrum internet / cable'), and MLS association fields historically mark internet service as included, indicating strong agreement across listings.
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.
At least 6 of 9 remarks reference sewer being covered ('water & sewer', 'ALL utilities'), and MLS checkbox history consistently marks sewer as included, providing clear, consistent evidence.
At least 7 of 9 remark blocks state water is covered by HOA fees (phrases: 'water', 'maintenance all inclusive', 'HOA fees cover ALL utilities'), showing strong, consistent confirmation across multiple agents and listings.
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.
I looked for surfboard-specific storage references such as surf storage or board storage and did not find any. General storage and closets are mentioned, but nothing that specifically supports surfboard storage.
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.
I found a reference to a building pool, but nothing describing it as saltwater, saline, or salt pool. I searched for salt-water terminology and did not find any confirmation.
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.
Strong evidence that the building has shared laundry: at least 4 separate listing remarks explicitly mention 'community laundry' or 'community laundry downstairs' and the MLS amenity COMLAU is checked in 8 of 9 current listings. Mentions appear across multiple agents and listings (e.g., 'in-unit washer (plus community laundry)' and 'community laundry downstairs'), supporting a high-confidence inclusion of this building-level amenity.
The remarks confirm community laundry exists, but they do not say whether it is free or paid. I searched for coin laundry, card-operated machines, quarters, or laundry fees and found nothing.
I found references to shared/community laundry, including one explicitly saying it is downstairs. I searched for phrases like laundry on each floor, floor-by-floor laundry, or laundry on every floor, but there was no such mention.
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.
Assigned parking is mentioned in multiple listings (at least 3). Remarks include explicit unit assignments: "parking space 'D' are available for Unit #1453," "one secured, covered parking stall," and "comes with 1 of only 6 covered parking stalls," indicating some units have designated/reserved stalls. Evidence is consistent across different listings and agents.
Covered parking is cited in several listings (at least 3), including phrases like "one secured, covered parking stall," "covered parking," and "1 of only 6 covered parking stalls," showing the building offers covered parking stalls. Multiple agents' remarks corroborate the feature.
I looked for explicit phrases like deeded parking, owned stall, or parking included in deed. The listings only reference secured/covered parking availability, so deeded parking is not supported by the remarks.
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.
I searched for monthly parking fees, parking rent, or any added parking cost and found nothing. The remarks discuss parking availability, but not a parking charge amount.
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.
Secured entry/gated parking is referenced in multiple listings (at least 4) with phrases such as "secured entry," "Secure gated community," "gated entry, video cameras," and mention of fob access for parking. Multiple agent remarks consistently confirm secure/gated 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.
I looked for references to a parking waitlist or parking queue and found none. Since no waitlist is mentioned anywhere in the provided remarks, it is not supported here.
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.
The remarks clearly indicate electronic access/security via secured entry and fob access. This matches card/fob access security even though the exact wording varies by listing.
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.
I searched for any mention of patrol service or roving security and found none. The building is described as secured with cameras and an on-site resident manager, but not as having security patrol.
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.
Strong evidence across listings that the building has central air: at least 4 separate listing remarks explicitly state 'central AC' or that the 'central A/C'/'A/C' is included in the HOA fee (e.g., 'central AC', 'run the central A/C for free, as it's included in the HOA fee', 'all inclusive with central ac'). MLS checkbox data (8/9) also consistently indicates ACCEN/CENAC, so the combined evidence from multiple agents and listings supports including central_ac = true with high confidence.
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.
All 9 current MLS listings for this building mark construction_materials as 'CONCRE' (previously 8 of 8), showing strong and consistent evidence of concrete construction. Public remarks do not explicitly state 'concrete' or 'reinforced concrete', but the uniform MLS checkbox reporting across multiple listings/agents supports a high-confidence conclusion that the building is concrete-constructed.
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.
The listings explicitly permit 30-day minimum or monthly rentals, which is the standard indicator that short-term/vacation rentals are disallowed. No wording suggests legal STR use.
I searched for hotel pool, hotel rental program, managed-by-hotel language, and related branding, but found nothing. Because short-term rentals are not allowed, hotel pool participation is also not supported.
I looked for mandatory pool language such as required participation, cannot opt out, or must be in a rental program, and found none. The remarks describe owner flexibility rather than any mandatory hotel pool arrangement.
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.
I searched for lease-expiry language such as lease end year, ground lease, leasehold, and renewal terms, but found none. The listing instead describes the property as fee simple, which means a land lease expiry is not applicable.
Public remarks directly mention a VA loan and potential assumption, which is strong evidence the building/unit is VA-financeable. No contradictory remarks were found.
I looked for explicit insurance language such as "fully insured," "walls-in coverage," or similar wording, and found nothing. The remarks do say HOA fees cover all utilities, but that does not indicate full building insurance coverage.
Strong evidence across listings that the building has fire sprinklers: at least 3 separate remark blocks explicitly mention "fire sprinklers" or "in-unit fire sprinklers," and MLS amenities checkboxes are set for all 9 listings. Wording is consistent across multiple agents and aligns with prior high-confidence data, indicating the feature is reliable.
I searched for phrases indicating a passed fire/life safety evaluation, such as FLSE passed, fire safety certified, or passed fire inspection, but found no such statement. The remarks do mention fire sprinklers, which is helpful for safety context, but that is not the same as a formal pass.
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.
City/cityscape-type views are implied across listings (MLS: 3 of 9 listings mark CITY). Remarks reference 'views of the Waikiki', 'urban convenience', and being 'on the outskirts of Waikiki'—suggesting some units have city/downtown sightlines. Evidence is implied rather than repeatedly explicit, so confidence is moderate.
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.
Multiple listings explicitly mention marina/harbor: phrases include 'harbor views', 'Ala Wai Harbor', 'Yacht Harbor', and 'stunning marina sunset views' (MLS: 4 of 9). The references come from different listings/agents and consistently describe boat/harbor sightlines, so evidence is strong.
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.
Sunset viewing is explicitly noted across multiple listings with phrases like 'vibrant sunsets', 'sunset views', and 'stunning marina sunset views' (MLS: 4 of 9). Multiple agents independently mention sunset/fireworks views from lanais, giving strong corroborating evidence.
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.
This is directly confirmed multiple times, including viewing the Hilton’s Friday Night Fireworks from the lanai and from the home. The wording clearly indicates fireworks are visible from units, not just nearby.

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.
Multiple remark blocks (at least 3) explicitly mention an on-site or resident manager and the MLS amenity was checked on all 9 listings. The repeated, consistent phrasing across different agent remarks supports high confidence that a resident manager is present on-site.
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.
