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 remarks were searched for owner-occupancy percentages and qualitative descriptions of occupancy. No evidence was found to confirm or deny the current value, so 62.0% is retained with low confidence.
The remarks were searched for explicit elevator references, including a numeric count and phrases such as 'multiple elevators.' No mentions were found, so the current value of 1 is retained with low confidence.
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.
Common-area electricity appears to be included in the maintenance fee in a meaningful share of current listings (9/20 show OTCOEX). The remarks do not explicitly mention common power, so this looks like MLS-driven evidence rather than agent commentary, but it is enough to indicate the building offers this inclusion for some units.
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.
Hot water is strongly supported by the current MLS set, with 13 of 20 listings showing HOTWAT. The remarks do not call it out directly, but the prevalence across multiple listings suggests this is a real building-level inclusion rather than a one-off checkbox entry.
Internet inclusion appears uncommon but present in the current MLS data, with 3 of 20 listings showing INTSER. No public remarks mention Wi‑Fi or internet, so confidence is limited, but the feature should be retained because some listings indicate it is available in the building.
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 included across the entire current MLS set, with 20 of 20 listings showing SEWER. The public remarks are silent, but the consistency of the MLS data makes this a very strong building-level feature.
Water is included in nearly every current listing, with 19 of 20 showing WATER. The remarks do not mention it directly, but the MLS pattern is strong enough to treat it as a building-level inclusion.
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.
Surfboard storage is directly and repeatedly confirmed in the public remarks. The feature is described as a building amenity alongside bike storage.
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 for Ala Wailani. The MLS data is unanimous across 20/20 listings with TRACHU checked, and none of the public remarks explicitly contradict it or suggest a change. Evidence is strong and consistent across multiple listings/agents, supporting high confidence.
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.
The public remarks contain no pool references and do not describe saltwater pool amenities. Therefore, there is no evidence supporting a salt pool.
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 from different listings explicitly mention “on-site laundry facilities,” “community laundry,” and “coin-operated laundry facilities,” indicating this is a shared building amenity rather than a one-off agent checkbox. The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears reliable, not just copy-paste noise.
Paid community laundry is directly confirmed by repeated references to coin-operated laundry. This is strong, explicit evidence that residents pay to use the shared laundry facilities.
The remarks mention community or on-site laundry, but do not specify that facilities are available on every floor. No qualifying every-floor laundry wording was found.
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/reserved parking is clearly supported across the listings, with many remarks repeating phrases like 'one covered assigned parking,' 'covered assigned parking,' and 'designated covered parking.' The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and listing versions, so this feature is highly reliable.
Covered parking is well established in the building. Multiple listings mention it directly, often in the same wording, indicating this is not a one-off or copy-paste error but a persistent building feature.
The listings consistently mention an assigned or covered parking stall, including a stall included with the unit. However, none explicitly says deeded, owned, or included in the deed, so deeded status is not confirmed.
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 the remarks for explicit parking charges and monthly or additional parking costs. No fee was found; the remarks only describe assigned or covered parking.
Guest parking is confirmed in several remarks across the dataset, including direct references to 'guest parking available' and '2 guest spots.' This is strong multi-listing evidence that the building offers guest parking.
Secured parking/entry is repeatedly confirmed in the remarks, with several listings describing a secured or gated parking garage and secured building entrance. The consistency across multiple listings strongly supports this building-level feature.
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.
The listings repeatedly describe assigned or covered parking and sometimes guest parking, but none indicates that parking is allocated through a waitlist. This supports a false value based on the available remarks.
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.
The building is described as secured, but the remarks do not identify a card or fob access system. Generic secured-entry language is insufficient to confirm this feature.
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.
The listings mention secured entrances and parking but provide no evidence of an active security patrol service. Secured access alone does not establish patrol coverage.
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 strongly supported by the MLS history, with 20 of 20 current listings showing CONCRE. None of the public remarks mention a different construction material, so this appears to be a stable building-level characteristic rather than copy-paste noise.
There is no explicit public-remarks support for double-wall construction across the listings reviewed. Because the MLS flag appears in only a minority of current records and the remarks consistently focus on views, renovations, parking, and laundry instead, this looks unverified and likely not a dependable building-level 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, vacation rental, STR, NUC, TVU, hotel rental, and minimum-stay language. No evidence authorizes STR, so it remains false with moderate confidence based on the absence of qualifying remarks.
The remarks contain no references to a hotel rental pool or participation in hotel operations. Because STR is not allowed or supported by the remarks, this feature must also be false.
I searched for mandatory rental-pool and required-participation language, but found none. Since there is no evidence of STR or a hotel rental pool, mandatory hotel-pool participation 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 language such as lease expires, land lease, ground lease ends, leasehold expiration, and lease renewal dates. No specific lease-expiry year was found, so the value remains unknown.
Multiple public remarks directly and repeatedly confirm that Ala Wailani is VA approved. The VA assumable-loan remark provides additional supporting evidence.
Multiple listings directly describe the building as fully insured or fully insurable. These repeated explicit statements provide high-confidence evidence that the building is fully insured.
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.
The remarks were searched for FLSE and related fire/life-safety language. Nothing was found, so there is no public-remarks evidence that the evaluation passed; this is treated as false with medium-low confidence.
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 strongly supported across the building. Multiple listings describe 'breathtaking panoramic views of the Koolau Mountains' and 'mountain views,' with several agents using consistent language rather than a single isolated remark. The current MLS history shows 10/20 listings with mountain-view indicators, which aligns with the remarks.
Diamond Head views are one of the building’s most consistently advertised features. The remarks repeatedly use explicit phrasing such as 'Diamond Head view,' 'stunning views of Diamond Head,' and 'FULL Diamond Head view,' which appears across many separate listings. Historical MLS data supports this strongly with 15/20 listings showing Diamond Head in the view description.
City views appear to be available in some units based on the current MLS data (11/18 CITY). The remarks are less explicit than for Diamond Head or the canal, so this is moderate-strength evidence rather than overwhelming confirmation. It still makes sense to include because buyers searching for city-view units would likely find some options in this building.
Coastline views are not explicitly supported in the current public remarks. While the MLS has a small amount of coastline coding, the repeated agent remarks emphasize Diamond Head, canal, and golf course views instead, so this appears to be weak or possibly inconsistent data for the building.
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 present in some units and are clearly supported by the remarks. Multiple listings mention the Ala Wai Golf Course directly, including phrases like 'panoramic views of ... Ala Wai Golf Course' and 'view of Diamond Head, ... and golf course.' The evidence suggests this is a genuine but less common building-level view option.
Marina/canal views are strongly supported by both MLS data and public remarks. Multiple listings explicitly reference the Ala Wai Canal and similar water-adjacent views, indicating this is a commonly marketable view type in the building.
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.
At least 2 current listing remarks mention sunset-related views or exposure, including “providing breathtaking sunset... views right from your living room” and “doorstep of golden sunsets.” The explicit unit-level description confirms the building offers sunset-view units despite inconsistent or copied MLS view fields.
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.
The listings describe Diamond Head, canal, mountain, golf course, and other views, but do not mention fireworks views. References to Waikiki attractions do not establish a fireworks view from the building.
No analysis available
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.
