Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.

Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
MLS property data is unanimous (13/13 listings) that the building was built in 1969. No listing remarks contradict this or claim a different construction or completion year.
Multiple listings reference upper-floor units including a 'top-floor corner end unit' and a 'Penthouse', while MLS floor data for 13 listings goes up to the 12th floor and no higher. This strongly supports a 12-story building height.
No remarks mention the total number of units (e.g., 'XX-unit building'), and MLS summary data does not provide a reliable count. As a result, the total number of units in the building cannot be determined from the available information.
The previously recorded owner-occupancy rate of 62% is retained. Searched remarks for explicit percentages or phrases such as 'owner-occupied', 'majority owner', or similar, but found no information to refine or change the current figure.
Kept the existing value of 1 elevator from the building context. Searched remarks for terms like 'elevator', 'lifts', or specific elevator counts, but found no references that verify or dispute the current data.
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.
Public remarks discuss trade winds and breezes but never mention central air conditioning or AC included in fees. MLS data has 0/13 listings with ACCEN checked, indicating central AC is not part of the maintenance fee.
No public remarks reference cable TV being included in the fees. MLS data shows 0/13 listings with the CABTV (cable included) checkbox selected, suggesting cable is paid separately by owners.
The strongest evidence is from MLS: 7 of 17 current listings include OTCOEX, which points to common area electricity being part of the maintenance fee. Public remarks do not explicitly mention it, so this looks like a moderately supported building-level MLS pattern rather than something confirmed by agent copy.
No remarks mention co-op taxes, and the building is repeatedly described as a condo with VA approval. MLS data shows 0/13 listings with cooperative taxes included, so coop taxes are not part of the fees.
Public remarks focus on views, parking, and laundry, but never claim electricity is included. With 0/13 MLS entries checking ELECTR, electricity is almost certainly paid separately by residents.
There is no reference in remarks to gas utilities or gas stoves being covered by maintenance. MLS data has 0/13 listings with GAS selected, so gas is not included in the maintenance fee.
MLS data is the main signal here: 10 of 17 current listings include HOTWAT, while only 3 list WTRHTR in inclusions. None of the public remarks mention hot water directly, so this is supported primarily by repeated MLS checkbox data across multiple listings.
Internet inclusion appears to be an outlier: only 1 of 17 current listings marks INTSER, and the remarks are silent on internet or Wi‑Fi throughout. This looks like a likely copy/paste or checkbox error rather than a building-wide amenity.
All marketing focuses on beaches, the Ala Wai Canal, and nearby parks, without any mention of marina facilities or boat slips. With no MARINA checkmarks across 13 listings, marina-related costs are not part of the maintenance fees.
Sewer is consistently included across the entire current MLS set, with 17 of 17 listings checking SEWER. Public remarks do not mention sewer directly, but the checkbox evidence is unanimous and very strong.
Water is almost universally included in the current MLS data, with 16 of 17 listings marking WATER in association fees. The remarks are silent on this item, so the MLS pattern is the clearest evidence and appears reliable across multiple listings.
Agents highlight features like guest parking, community laundry, and surfboard/bike storage, but do not mention any BBQ or grill facilities. Together with 0/13 MLS BBQ checkboxes, this strongly indicates there is no building BBQ amenity.
At least two separate listings list 'surfboard and bike storage' as part of the building amenities, in the same context as guest parking and community laundry. Because this is clearly a shared amenity mentioned by multiple agents, bike storage is confidently included as a building feature.
Views of the Ala Wai Canal and Golf Course are mentioned without any suggestion of mooring or dock facilities. This strongly indicates the property does not have a boat dock or marina access.
Remarks describe covered and secured parking but not any washing facility. The combined lack of textual and MLS evidence indicates there is no car wash amenity.
All remarks describe this as a boutique building with basic services, not a complex with its own clubhouse. The absence in both MLS amenities and text implies there is no clubhouse.
Across many listings, the building is presented as a self-service, boutique condo with no mention of concierge or front desk services. The complete lack of concierge-related terms, despite extensive marketing language, shows that concierge service is not offered.
Listings talk about nearby parks and beaches but not any dedicated pet area on-site. Given 0/13 MLS checks, the building appears not to have a dog park.
Agents describe the property as a “boutique building” with guest parking, community laundry, and secured/gated parking but never mention a doorman or lobby attendant. In a market where such services are heavily marketed when present, their total absence in all remarks indicates there is no doorman service.
Across all provided remarks, agents describe parking, security, community laundry, and storage but never an exercise room or gym. With 0/13 MLS amenities indicating EXEROO and no textual references, it is very likely this building does not offer an exercise room.
Listings present this as a boutique condo with basic amenities, not a full-service luxury tower. The absence of any reference to car or limo service means this amenity does not exist.
Listings do not promote any business center or meeting room space. With no MLS or narrative support, the building likely does not offer a meeting room.
Multiple independent listings describe lanais as a regular feature of the units (e.g., 'large lanai', 'covered lanai', 'enclosed lanai'). This strongly indicates the building offers lanai/patio-style outdoor space as a standard element, not just a one-off penthouse feature.
While the neighborhood offers places to jog, listings do not describe a dedicated jogging or walking path as a building amenity. Combined with MLS data, this indicates no building jogging path.
Agents only reference nearby public recreational spaces, not a children's play area within the building. This, plus the MLS data, indicates there is no building playground.
All remarks describe a typical Waikiki condo with lanais rather than ground-level yard areas. With no references to yards and no MLS indication of private yard amenities, it is very likely the building does not offer private yard space.
Remarks reference the Ala Wai Golf Course nearby but not any practice putting green on the property. The absence in all data suggests there is no putting green.
Agents do not describe any shared recreation deck or amenity space at the building, only nearby parks and beaches. Combined with MLS data, this suggests the building lacks a formal recreation area.
The remarks focus on unit interiors and basic building services without any reference to a rec room or game room. With 0/13 MLS indications, it is likely there is no shared recreation room.
Agents emphasize nearby dining options rather than any in-building restaurant. With no MLS indication, the building does not appear to host a restaurant.
Remarks never reference a rooftop deck, rooftop terrace, or rooftop access as a shared amenity. The lack of both MLS and textual evidence supports that there is no common rooftop feature.
All marketing focuses on views, location, and basic services, with no reference to a sauna. The MLS and narrative silence indicates the building does not have a sauna.
No listings explicitly advertise building storage units or lockers, and MLS data shows 0 of 13 listings with storage/extra storage amenities checked. The lone reference to 'room for storage' appears to describe open space by a parking stall, not a dedicated storage facility, so this feature is treated as not present.
There are multiple direct mentions of surfboard storage, which is strong evidence that the building offers this amenity. The references are explicit and consistent across remarks.
Multiple listings emphasize proximity to Ala Wai Golf Course and Kapiolani Park but do not mention any on-site tennis courts. The complete absence in both MLS amenities and remarks supports that the building does not have tennis courts.
Trash chute appears to be a confirmed building amenity based on MLS data: 17 of 17 current listings include the TRACHU amenity. None of the provided public remarks explicitly mention a trash, garbage, or refuse chute, but the unanimous MLS checkbox pattern suggests this is not a copy-paste anomaly.
Parking is consistently described as assigned, covered, and in a gated garage, with guest parking but no hint of valet service. The combination of detailed parking descriptions and total absence of 'valet' language strongly indicates there is no valet service at this building.
Several listings from different agents highlight physical gating around the parking/garage: phrases include “gated covered parking area,” “A gated entry secures the covered parking stall,” and “Secured entrance into the building and parking garage.” This consistent description of gated/secured parking indicates the property has a physical gate or barrier, qualifying as perimeter wall/fence-style security for vehicle access.
Agents do not reference any spa or hot tub facility among building amenities. Together with the MLS data, this suggests there is no whirlpool amenity.
0 of 13 listings describe any kind of pool, and agents instead highlight amenities like guest parking, community laundry, and surfboard/bike storage. In a Waikiki building, a pool would almost certainly be advertised if present, so current evidence strongly indicates the building does not have a pool.
Because no pool is mentioned or indicated in MLS data, a heated pool is effectively ruled out. 0 of 13 listings refer to a heated pool or any warming feature, confirming that this amenity is not offered.
I searched for pool-related and saltwater-pool language, including "salt water pool," "saltwater pool," and similar terms, but found nothing. With no pool mentioned in the remarks and the building context showing no pool, this is best treated as false.
Across 13 listings, none mention in-unit washers or dryers, while many specifically reference laundry as a shared building facility (e.g., 'coin-operated washer/dryer in the building,' 'on-site laundry facilities'). Combined with 0/13 MLS inclusions for washer/dryer, this strongly indicates that units in this building generally do not have in-unit laundry. Given the repeated emphasis on community/coin-operated laundry and the complete absence of in-unit references, this feature is marked as not present.
Community laundry is strongly supported across the building's listings: multiple remarks explicitly reference 'on-site laundry facilities,' 'community laundry is in the building,' and 'coin-operated laundry facilities.' This appears consistent across different listings and agents, so it is not just a copy-paste checkbox without remark support.
Multiple remarks clearly identify coin-operated laundry, which is direct evidence that the community laundry requires payment. This is consistent across several listings and is strong support for a true value.
I searched for phrases like laundry on each floor, laundry room on every floor, and floor-by-floor laundry, but found no direct evidence. The remarks support laundry in the building, not distribution on every floor.
Strong evidence building provides on-site parking: all 15 MLS records include parking features and many remarks state 'covered parking', 'parking stall' or 'parking garage'. Multiple agent remarks across listings consistently reference parking, so inclusion is well-supported.
Assigned parking is strongly supported across the listings. Multiple remarks explicitly mention 'assigned parking,' 'designated covered parking,' and 'your very own, covered parking spot,' which matches the historically consistent MLS pattern. This appears to be a real building feature, not just a one-off agent checkbox.
Covered parking is well documented in these remarks and aligns with the strong MLS history. Listings repeatedly describe covered stalls, a covered parking garage, and covered assigned parking, across multiple agents. Evidence is consistent and explicit.
I looked for terms like "deeded parking," "owned stall," and "parking included in deed." The remarks consistently describe assigned/covered parking instead, which does not establish deeded ownership.
There is no MLS indication or remark evidence of EV charging stations. Given multiple detailed amenity descriptions across listings, EV charging would likely be mentioned if present, so it is treated as not available.
I searched for parking fee language, monthly parking charges, parking rental costs, and dollar amounts tied to parking, but found none. The remarks only say the unit has assigned or covered parking, not whether any separate fee applies.
Guest parking is confirmed in multiple listings and supported by the historical MLS pattern. Several remarks explicitly mention guest parking availability, including 'Amenities include guest parking' and 'Guest Parking is available.' This looks like a genuine building amenity.
Secured parking/entry is strongly supported by both MLS history and current remarks. The listings repeatedly reference a secured parking garage, gated access, and secured building entrance, which suggests this is a real and persistent feature. Multiple independent remarks reinforce the same amenity.
Stalls are described as individual covered or assigned spaces, not tandem. The complete absence of tandem mentions in both MLS data and remarks indicates tandem parking is not a building feature.
Parking appears to be self-park in a secured garage, with no reference to valet services. Given the consistent omission in both checkboxes and remarks, valet parking is not offered at this building.
I looked for references to a parking waitlist or waiting list system and found none. Because there is no current positive indication and no remarks suggest a waitlist, this is treated as false.
Listings reference “Secured bldg. entrance” and “secured entrance into the building and parking garage” but never mention any elevator security such as key or fob access. Given how often security is marketed in these remarks, the lack of any elevator-specific security language indicates there is no keyed/fob elevator system.
I looked for explicit card, fob, keycard, or electronic access references. The listings only describe generic secured access, which is not enough to confirm a card-based security system.
Multiple listings describe security in terms of “secured bldg. entrance,” “secured parking garage,” and “gated entry,” but none reference a security guard or on-site security personnel. Given that agents highlight other security features, the consistent absence of any guard-related language across all remarks strongly indicates there is no staffed guard service.
I searched for "security patrol," "patrol," and related wording, but found no evidence of a patrol service. The remarks discuss secured entry and parking, not active patrols.
Remarks focus on physical security—“secured parking garage,” “secured bldg. entrance,” and “gated entry secures the covered parking stall”—without any mention of security cameras or video surveillance. The consistent omission of video-related terms across many listings, while other security is emphasized, suggests the building does not have a notable video security system.
Across all provided remarks, no listing mentions central air, HVAC, or forced air, despite central AC being a major selling point if present. Multiple listings instead highlight "cool breezes," "fresh island air," and tradewinds for comfort. Combined with 0/13 MLS checkboxes for central AC, this strongly supports that the building does not offer central air conditioning.
There are no references in any remarks to split systems, mini-splits, or ductless AC, and the cooling described relies on natural airflow and breezes. With 0/13 MLS listings marking split AC and no textual support, it is very likely that units in this building do not have split AC systems as a notable feature.
Only 1 of 13 listings marks window AC in the inclusions, with zero supporting mentions in the remarks (no "window AC" or "window unit" language). Several different agents describe cooling solely via tradewinds, cross-breezes, and a ceiling fan, which, together with the isolated checkbox, indicates the building is best characterized as not offering window AC as a notable feature.
Concrete construction is consistently supported across the building's MLS history: 17 of 17 current listings select CONCRE. No remarks suggest any change or contradiction, so this appears to be a stable building-level feature rather than agent copy-paste noise.
Double wall construction appears in a minority of current listings (6 of 17), but none of the public remarks explicitly confirm it with phrases like 'double wall' or 'double-wall construction.' Because the checkbox is used by some agents without corroborating remarks, this may reflect inconsistent MLS entry rather than a fully verified building feature.
Two of 14 current listings have the HOLTIL checkbox selected, but none of the public remarks mention hollow tile construction. This sparse, inconsistent MLS checkbox evidence (and lack of narrative confirmation) suggests some listings may reference hollow tile for certain units or reflect agent data variance; therefore hollow tile is included with moderate confidence.
0 out of 13 listings mark masonry/stucco, and agents instead consistently code concrete construction. With no textual mentions of stucco or masonry walls, masonry-stucco construction is very unlikely here.
There are no MLS indications (0/13) of steel frame construction, and all listings instead specify concrete. Given local construction norms for this type of building, steel frame construction is very unlikely.
The SLAB option is never checked in any of the 13 listings, and the building is consistently characterized simply as concrete. With no remarks indicating a slab-on-grade foundation, slab construction as defined in the MLS appears not to apply here.
No analysis available
0 out of 13 listings check wood frame construction, while all check concrete, and remarks describe a standard Waikiki condo tower. This combination makes wood frame construction very unlikely for this building.
Above-ground construction is rarely marked (2/13 listings) and never mentioned in the remarks, while other construction fields focus on concrete. Given the sparse, inconsistent coding, this feature is likely not a meaningful or intended descriptor for this building.
0 out of 13 listings mention brick construction, and all point to concrete instead. With no remarks hinting at brick exterior or brick-and-mortar construction, brick construction can be safely ruled out.
No listings (0/13) indicate single wall construction, and the building type and location are inconsistent with traditional single-wall structures. This makes single-wall construction effectively ruled out.
I searched for short-term rental indicators such as STR allowed, vacation rental, NUC, TVU, transient vacation unit, and related legal rental language, but found none. With no evidence of STR permission in the public remarks, this is marked false.
I looked for hotel pool language such as hotel rental program, managed by hotel, Hilton pool, or similar references and found none. Since STR is not supported from the remarks, hotel-pool participation must also be false.
I searched for phrases indicating mandatory participation in a rental pool, such as required to rent, cannot opt out, or mandatory hotel program, and found nothing. With no STR allowance or pool language, this is false.
Tenure terms such as 'fee simple' or 'FS' are never mentioned in the remarks, and the MLS tenure flags are blank for all 13 listings. Because tenure must exist but is undocumented here, we cannot determine whether any units are fee simple.
None of the listings mention leasehold terms, lease rent, or lease expiration, and the MLS tenure coding for these units is effectively empty. Therefore, it is not possible to confirm whether any units in this building are leasehold.
I searched for leasehold language such as lease expiry years, ground lease end dates, renewals, and phrases like "lease expires" or "land lease to," but found nothing. There is no public-remarks evidence to identify a lease expiry year.
Public remarks directly support VA financing approval for this building. The language is explicit and repeated across listings, so this is high confidence.
No evidence was found in the remarks about the HOA providing full or walls-in building insurance coverage. Due to this lack of information, the value is set to false by default, recognizing that the actual insurance status could be undocumented here.
Agents describing the building’s amenities repeatedly mention items like guest parking, community laundry, surfboard and bike storage, and VA approval, but never fire sprinklers. With 0/13 MLS records checking the fire-sprinkler amenity, it is very likely the building does not have a fire sprinkler system.
There is no mention of a fire/life safety evaluation or related certifications in the supplied remarks. In the absence of any evidence, this field is set to false by default, but this may simply reflect missing information rather than a failed evaluation.
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
Although public remarks do not explicitly say “ocean view,” 1 of 13 MLS entries marks OCEAN as a view, and another marks COASTLINE, which typically implies ocean exposure. Given the building’s proximity to Waikiki Beach and the Ala Wai, it is credible that some higher or favorably oriented units enjoy ocean glimpses. This is likely a limited but real feature for certain stacks/floors.
Mountain views are clearly supported by multiple public remarks, including phrases like "Koolau Mountains," "mountain views," and "panoramic views of Mountains." This appears repeatedly across several listings rather than a one-off copy-paste error, and it aligns with the historical MLS pattern showing mountain-view coding in a substantial share of listings.
Diamond Head views are one of the most consistently advertised features in the building. Multiple listings directly state "Diamond Head view," "full Diamond Head view," or similar language, and the historical MLS data strongly corroborates this with 12 of 17 listings showing DIAHEA.
Some MLS records (CURRENT MLS: 5/16) list city views, so the building appears to offer units with city/downtown views. However, the provided public remarks do not explicitly describe "city" or "cityscape," suggesting the evidence is weaker and may reflect unit-specific views or checkbox inconsistencies. Flagged as available but with moderate confidence.
Public remarks do not explicitly say “coastline” or “shoreline,” but MLS data records COASTL for one listing. Given the building’s position near Waikiki Beach, it is plausible that certain higher or correctly oriented units look toward the shoreline beyond intervening buildings. This suggests that coastline views are available from at least a limited number of units.
Marketing copy repeatedly highlights Diamond Head, canal, golf course, mountains, and sunset, but never references “garden,” “courtyard,” or similar landscaped outlooks. MLS view fields also show 0 of 13 listings with GARDEN selected. This sustained absence suggests the building is not characterized by garden or courtyard views and that such a view is not a meaningful selling point here.
Golf course views are explicitly mentioned in several public remarks, most notably as views of the "Ala Wai Golf Course" and "panoramic views" that include the golf course. While the MLS coding is less frequent than Diamond Head, the repeated remark language is strong enough to confirm that the building offers golf course-view units.
Multiple listings explicitly advertise views of the Ala Wai Canal/harbor (CURRENT MLS: 5/16 list MARCAN) and the public remarks repeatedly mention "Ala Wai Canal" and "Ala Wai," confirming that marina/harbor/canal views are available from several units. Evidence is consistent across agent remarks and aligns with historical high confidence.
One listing explicitly touts “breathtaking sunset … views,” but none mention sunrise or morning sun, and MLS data does not record SUNRIS on any of the 13 entries. Given how heavily agents market this building’s views in other directions, the lack of any sunrise references indicates that sunrise views are not a notable or commonly available feature. It is unlikely that sunrise views are a selling point for this building.
One set of remarks advertises a “front row view of Diamond Head, providing breathtaking sunset, Diamond Head, Ala Wai and mountain views right from your living room,” clearly confirming sunset exposure from at least one unit. While no MLS entries check SUNSET, agents may simply overlook this checkbox. Textual marketing evidence is strong enough to conclude some units offer sunset views.
None of the many marketing descriptions refer to a cemetery or similar use across the street, and no agent has checked the CEMETA view field in the MLS. Given that cemetery views are typically either disclosed or specifically coded when present, this consistent absence indicates the building does not have notable cemetery views. Buyers concerned about such a view are unlikely to encounter it here.
I searched for fireworks-view language such as "fireworks view," "watch fireworks from lanai," and similar phrases. The remarks mention Diamond Head, canal, golf course, and sunset views, but nothing about fireworks from the units.

No analysis available
There are no statements of 'no pets' or pet prohibitions in any listing, and the MLS data does not flag a no-pets restriction. While no remarks explicitly promote the building as pet-friendly, the absence of any no-pet language across all listings suggests pets are allowed in some form.
Listing remarks emphasize the building’s location, parking, community laundry, and storage amenities but never refer to any resident or on-site manager. Combined with 0/13 MLS amenity checks for a resident manager, this strongly suggests the building does not have a resident manager.
Remarks emphasize residential condo living with VA-approved financing, assigned parking, and community laundry, with no references to hotel programs or nightly rentals. This pattern and the MLS data indicate the building is a conventional condominium, not a condotel.
The building is marketed and financed as a standard condominium (including VA assumable loans) with no language about co-op shares or cooperative structures. Combined with the MLS data, 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.
