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.
A substantial subset of listings (6/13) indicate common area electricity is included in the association fees. The remaining listings likely omit this checkbox rather than indicating a different fee structure, so common-area power is probably covered by the HOA.
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 checkbox data is mixed: 8/14 listings include HOTWAT but 2/14 listings list WTRHTR in inclusions (suggesting some units have their own water heaters). No public remarks explicitly confirm hot water is included, so evidence is moderate and may reflect agent copy/paste or a partially building-provided system.
Remarks do not mention building-provided internet or Wi-Fi, and agents consistently do not mark internet as an included fee item. With 0/13 MLS listings checking INTSER, internet is almost certainly not included in the HOA fees.
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.
All 14 current listings list SEWER as included in association fees and previous data showed high confidence. No public remarks contradict sewer being covered, so evidence is strong and consistent across multiple agent listings.
Nearly all listings (13/14) indicate water is included in the association fees, matching prior high-confidence data. No remarks dispute this, so it is very likely water is covered by the maintenance fee; the single omission appears inconsistent with the broader dataset.
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.
Several listings consistently state the building offers surfboard (and bike) storage, indicating this amenity is available.
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.
All 14 current MLS listings for this building include the trash/garbage chute amenity (14/14 TRACHU in amenities). No public remarks explicitly mention the chute, but the unanimous checkbox across multiple listings/agents indicates the building offers a trash chute; evidence is strong and likely not a copy-paste error.
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 building context indicates no pool, and the public remarks contain no references to a pool or 'salt water'/'saltwater' descriptors. No evidence was found to indicate a saltwater pool exists.
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.
All 14 MLS listings have the community laundry amenity checked and numerous remarks explicitly state shared laundry: quotes include 'community laundry', 'on-site laundry facilities', and 'coin-operated washer/dryer in the building' (several listings). Evidence is consistent across multiple agent remarks and aligns with the MLS checkbox, supporting high confidence that the building has shared laundry facilities.
Public remarks explicitly describe coin-operated laundry machines and coin-operated laundry facilities, indicating payment is required for community laundry.
Listings repeatedly reference on-site/community laundry and coin-operated machines, including a lower-level laundry. There is no language indicating laundry rooms on every floor (e.g., "laundry on each floor" or "laundry room on every floor").
Strong evidence that the building provides on-site parking: all 14 MLS records list parking features and numerous remarks state 'covered parking', 'secured parking garage', 'gated covered parking area' and 'guest parking'. Multiple agents consistently reference building parking rather than a single outlier, indicating the feature is building-wide and well-supported.
Evidence is strong that parking stalls are assigned or reserved: 12 of 14 MLS records list ASSIGN and multiple remarks across different listings say 'assigned parking', 'designated covered parking', or 'assigned, covered parking stall'. The language appears consistently used by different agents, indicating assigned/reserved stalls are a building feature.
Parking is predominantly in covered stalls or a garage. Numerous independent remarks emphasize that the included stall is covered, confirming this as a building feature.
I searched for explicit language such as 'deeded parking', 'owned parking', or 'parking included in deed'. The remarks describe covered/assigned parking and a gated parking garage, but there is no explicit statement that parking is deeded, so deeded parking cannot be 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.
Searched for terms like 'monthly parking fee', 'parking charge', 'parking rent', or dollar amounts associated with parking. The listings discuss covered/assigned parking and guest parking but do not reference any separate parking fee.
Guest parking is clearly offered on-site. Multiple agents highlight guest parking in the remarks, and MLS checkbox data supports this across a majority of listings.
Parking is behind a secured or gated entry rather than fully open. Several independent listings emphasize secured or gated garage access, confirming secure entry as a consistent building 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.
Searched for 'waitlist', 'waiting list', or instructions to join a list for parking. The remarks mention assigned and guest parking but contain no indication of a waitlist system.
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.
While listings reference secured/gated entrances and secured parking, there is no explicit language about card or fob access systems. No evidence found to confirm card-based access.
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 terms like 'security patrol', 'roving security', and 'patrol service' and found none. There is no evidence the building provides a security patrol service.
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.
All 14 of 14 current listings have the CONCRE construction checkbox selected (historically 13/13), and no public remarks contradict concrete construction. Although agents sometimes copy/paste checkboxes, the unanimity across listings and strong historical consensus provide high confidence that the building is concrete (no listings describe hollow-tile walls in remarks).
A significant minority of listings (5/13) check double wall in construction_materials, and no listings indicate single-wall or conflicting wall types. Although not unanimous, this repeated coding plus building age suggests double-wall construction is likely.
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.
Searched for explicit STR language (e.g., 'short-term rental allowed', 'vacation rental', '30-day minimum', 'NUC/TVU'). The remarks contain no indication that short-term rentals are permitted, so STR allowance is assumed not indicated in public remarks.
Searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', or hotel management references. None were found. Because STR is not indicated as allowed, hotel pool participation is not supported by the remarks.
Searched for terms like 'mandatory rental program', 'required to participate', or 'cannot opt out'. No such language appears. Additionally, STR is not shown as allowed, so a mandatory hotel pool is not supported by the public remarks.
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.
Searched for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease', 'leasehold', and specific expiration years. No leasehold or lease expiration information appears in the remarks, so the lease expiry year is unknown.
Multiple listings explicitly state the building is VA approved (e.g., "The building is VA approved."). This directly supports that VA financing is accepted for units in this building.
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.
One listing describes “breathtaking … mountain views” along with Diamond Head and Ala Wai, and another advertises “panoramic views of Mountains, Diamond Head, Ala Wai Canal, and Ala Wai Golf Course.” With 4 of 13 MLS records indicating mountain views, it is clear that some units in this building enjoy mountain vistas. Buyers seeking mountain views would reasonably consider this building.
The remarks are dominated by references to Diamond Head: “breathtaking views of Diamond Head,” “Soak in iconic Diamond Head views,” “Enjoy your stunning, FULL Diamond Head view,” and “front row view of Diamond Head.” With at least six MLS listings also checking Diamond Head, this is a signature view for the building. Many units, especially on preferred sides/floors, clearly offer strong Diamond Head vistas.
Public remarks focus on Diamond Head, mountains, canal, and golf course, but 5 of 13 MLS records list CITY views. In a mid/high-rise Waikiki building amidst dense development, some units almost certainly look out over city buildings and streets. City views are therefore a reasonable, if secondary, building feature.
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.
At least one unit is marketed with “panoramic views of Mountains, Diamond Head, Ala Wai Canal, and Ala Wai Golf Course,” directly confirming a golf course outlook. The building is located near the Ala Wai Golf Course, and the MLS data registers GOLCOU in 1 of 13 listings. Golf course views thus exist for some higher or favorably oriented units.
Multiple listings explicitly describe views of the Ala Wai Canal/Ala Wai and harbor area — common phrases include "views of Diamond Head and the Ala Wai Canal" and "front row view... Ala Wai." Current remarks consistently reference Ala Wai views across many agent entries, aligning with prior MLS MARCAN flags, so evidence is strong that the building offers marina/harbor (Ala Wai) views.
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 terms like 'fireworks', 'watch fireworks', and 'lanai fireworks' but found no references. There is no evidence the building offers a fireworks view from 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.
