Buyers should verify all information and any maintenance, association rules, or fees with the listing agent or management, as this summary is based on available MLS records.
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 explicit percentages and phrases such as "owner occupied," "majority owner occupied," and "highly owner occupied." No confirming or contradicting evidence was found in the remarks, so the current value of 47.00 is kept with low confidence.
Multiple listings mention one elevator and none mention multiple elevators or a different count. This supports the current value of 1 elevator.
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.
Very strong evidence that central A/C is included. Several remarks explicitly say 'central A/C' or 'AC included in the HOA fee,' and MLS data shows ACCEN in all 10/10 listings. This is a consistent building-level feature across listings.
Cable inclusion is strongly supported by MLS data and repeated remarks from multiple listings. At least four remarks explicitly mention cable or Spectrum cable as included, with no meaningful conflicting evidence.
The building likely includes common-area electricity, but the current remarks do not name it directly. Historical MLS data is strong (9/10 listings with OTCOEX), and the repeated 'all utilities' language supports the inclusion indirectly. Confidence is moderate because the evidence is mostly inferential.
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.
Electricity is consistently included across all current MLS records and is explicitly mentioned in at least five remarks. The evidence is strong across multiple listings and confirms the historically high-confidence conclusion.
Gas is not supported as a building-wide included utility. Several remarks list the included utilities in detail and omit gas, while only one of 11 current MLS records checks GAS; the isolated checkbox conflicts with the stronger historical and remark-based evidence.
Hot water inclusion is confirmed by all 11 current MLS records, with no WTRHTR indication. At least two remarks explicitly mention hot water as included, and several others state that all utilities are covered.
Internet is included in the maintenance fee. Several listings explicitly mention 'internet' or 'Spectrum internet / cable,' and MLS data shows INTSER in 9/10 listings. The evidence is strong and repeated across multiple remarks.
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.
Sewer is consistently included in the current MLS data and is explicitly confirmed in at least two remarks. The detailed utility lists from multiple listings support the historically high-confidence conclusion.
Water inclusion is strongly established by all 11 current MLS records and at least five explicit remarks. The repeated utility disclosures across listings confirm that water is a building-level included 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.
Storage is strongly supported across the remarks: at least 2 listings explicitly mention extra storage, including a "highly-coveted exterior storage closet (for $30/month)" and "ample storage w/multiple closets & cabinets." Given the prior high-confidence MLS signal and the detailed, repeated references, this appears to be a legitimate building amenity rather than an unchecked MLS copy-paste item.
Surfing proximity is described, but that does not establish dedicated building storage. Searches for surfboard storage, board storage, surf storage, and bike-and-surfboard storage found no mentions.
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.
The listings mention a pool in a unit-specific availability context, but provide no salt-water designation. Searches for saltwater and related terminology found no supporting evidence.
Multiple listings confirm in-unit laundry availability, including direct phrases like "in-unit washer/dryer" and "in-unit washer." Another remark says "washer/dryer can be installed in-unit w/ approval," which supports that the building allows it even when not currently installed. This is consistent across several listings and does not look like a one-off copy-paste error.
The building clearly offers shared laundry facilities, with at least 3 listings explicitly mentioning "community laundry," including one specifying it is downstairs. Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and strongly supports the historical high-confidence designation, even though some units also have in-unit laundry or hookups.
The remarks confirm community laundry but do not indicate that it requires payment. Terms associated with paid laundry were searched for and not found, so this remains low confidence.
The listings identify community laundry as being downstairs, which contradicts floor-by-floor laundry. No wording such as laundry on every floor or laundry room on each floor was found.
Parking is strongly confirmed across multiple listings and agents. Remarks reference open, secured, covered, and designated parking, including a unit with "parking space \"D\"" and another with "1 of only 6 covered parking stalls."
Assigned or reserved parking is confirmed by both MLS data and multiple current remarks. Direct language includes "secure reserved parking" and a unit-specific "parking space \"D\"" requiring a fob, indicating designated rather than merely available parking.
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.
Parking is repeatedly described as secured, covered, reserved, or available. However, there is no explicit statement that a parking stall is deeded, included in the deed, or separately owned, so deeded status is not supported.
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 discuss covered, secured, reserved, and available parking but do not identify a parking rental fee or additional monthly parking cost. The $30 monthly charge applies to an exterior storage closet, not parking.
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.
The listings describe limited or assigned parking, including one reference to only six covered stalls, but do not mention a waitlist. No evidence of a building parking waiting-list system was found.
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 explicit fob reference strongly supports card or fob-based access security. Secured and gated entry references provide additional corroboration.
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.
No public remark confirms a patrol service. The security references describe access controls and cameras rather than personnel patrols.
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 the building has central air conditioning. At least 4 separate listings explicitly mention 'central A/C' or describe running the 'central A/C' as part of HOA-covered utilities, while other remarks refer to HVAC-style building-wide cooling through all-inclusive maintenance fees. The repeated wording across multiple listings suggests this is a real building feature, not just a copied checkbox.
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.
None of the 11 current listings explicitly mention window AC, window air conditioners, window units, or wall AC. One listing mentions a "portable" AC vented through a window, while several others explicitly describe building-wide central AC included in HOA fees, so evidence strongly supports excluding window_ac.
Concrete construction is marked in all 11 current listings, making the evidence strong and consistent across the building. None of the public remarks explicitly says "concrete construction" or "reinforced concrete," but no listing contradicts the MLS data.
Double-wall construction appears in 4 of 11 current MLS records, indicating the feature may apply at the building level but is not universally entered. None of the 11 public remarks mentions double-wall construction, so the evidence is checkbox-based rather than independently confirmed.
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.
Multiple listings explicitly confirm that rentals are allowed with a 30-day minimum. This supports rental/short-term-use permission under the stated minimum, although the remarks do not support rentals shorter than 30 days.
Although the listings mention proximity to the Hilton and Friday night fireworks, they do not state that the building participates in a hotel rental pool. Because STR/rental use is allowed but no hotel-pool program is identified, this feature remains false.
The listings contain no statement that owners must participate in a hotel rental program or cannot opt out. References to personal use, part-time residency, and flexible rental potential further provide no support for mandatory pool participation.
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 include the phrase "fee simple unit," which indicates ownership rather than a stated leasehold interest. No wording such as leasehold, ground lease, lease expires, or renewal through a specific year was found, so no expiry year can be extracted.
A public remark explicitly references an assumable VA loan, providing strong evidence that VA financing is available for at least this unit. The remarks do not separately state that the entire building is VA-approved, but this supports the existing high-confidence determination.
I searched for references to full insurance, fully covered insurance, comprehensive building insurance, and walls-in coverage. No such statement was found, so there is no evidence that the HOA provides full insurance.
Strong evidence across the listing set: at least 3 remarks explicitly mention fire sprinklers or sprinklered construction, and the MLS amenity appears consistently present. The wording is repeated by multiple agents rather than a single isolated mention, so this looks like a stable building feature.
I searched for explicit language such as "FLSE passed," "fire life safety evaluation passed," "passed fire inspection," or "life safety compliant." No qualifying pass statement was found; sprinkler and smoke-detector references alone do not establish an FLSE 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
Ocean views are strongly supported across the listings, with several agents explicitly describing 'ocean' or 'Pacific' views and one noting the building is 'across the street from the ocean.' This looks consistent across multiple remarks rather than a one-off copy-paste claim.
Mountain views appear in at least a few listings, including explicit 'mauka' references and a remark calling out 'ocean, mountains, boat harbor' views. The evidence is not universal, but it is consistent enough to confirm mountain-facing units exist.
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-style views are implied in several remarks, though they are less explicit than ocean/marina views. With 6/10 MLS listings marked CITY and some supporting references to Waikiki/urban surroundings, this is a reasonable include at moderate confidence.
Coastline views are less explicitly named than ocean or marina views, but the building’s direct proximity to the ocean, beaches, and harbor supports the feature. The remarks suggest broad coastal vistas rather than a single isolated claim, so this stays included with moderate-high confidence.
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.
At least 7 current remarks explicitly mention marina or harbor views, including "unobstructed views of the ... marina," "floor-to-ceiling sliders framing harbor views," "Ala Wai Harbor" views, "stunning marina sunset views," and "gorgeous ocean and Marina views." The evidence is repeated across multiple listings and agents, strongly confirming that the building offers marina/harbor-view 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.
At least 6 current remarks explicitly mention sunset-related views or experiences, including "golden sunsets," "vibrant sunsets," "Ala Wai Harbor and sunset views," and "stunning marina sunset views." Additional listings mention enjoying sunset from the lanai or Friday night fireworks, and the consistent multi-agent evidence confirms that sunset-view units are available in the building.
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 listings directly confirm Friday night fireworks views from units or lanais. This is a clear building feature rather than merely proximity to fireworks.

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 listings explicitly mention a resident or on-site manager, including phrasing like 'onsite resident manager' and 'on-site resident manager.' This is consistent across several remarks and aligns with the MLS amenity being checked, indicating a reliable building-level feature.
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.
