Esplanade
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.
If this building is important to your search, you can help prioritize it for a full audit by requesting one below. To see what a complete report looks like, check out the example full report.

I searched for explicit owner-occupancy figures and descriptive phrases about owner-occupied status, but found no references. Without a stated percentage or clear qualifying language, the owner-occupancy rate remains unknown.
I searched the public remarks for explicit elevator counts or references to multiple elevators, but found nothing. Since elevator information is rarely included in listing remarks and no current value was provided, the number remains unknown.
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.
Central air conditioning is repeatedly described as included or covered in the monthly fees. Several remarks say "central air conditioning... is included in the maintenance fee" and one current breakdown lists a separate central A/C charge, while MLS history still shows 12 of 20 listings with ACCEN checked. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents.
Cable TV service appears to be included in The Esplanade maintenance/association fees. The historical MLS pattern is very strong (18 of 20 listings with CABTV), and current remarks reinforce this with explicit "Basic Cable/Internet" language. This looks consistent across multiple listings rather than a copy-paste outlier.
Common-area electricity/expenses appear to be included in the fees. The MLS history is strong at 17 of 20 listings showing OTCOEX, and the building’s many shared amenities and staffed/common facilities make this plausible. While remarks do not spell out "common electric" verbatim, the pattern is consistent and high confidence.

Hot water does not appear to be included in the maintenance fee. The MLS pattern is opposite of inclusion, with only 4 of 20 listings showing HOTWAT and 13 of 20 showing WTRHTR, which strongly suggests unit-level water heating instead of building-supplied hot water. Current remarks do not provide evidence of a change.
Internet service appears to be included in the maintenance fee. The historical MLS signal is strong at 16 of 20 listings with INTSER, and current remarks explicitly mention "Basic Cable/Internet" and separate internet fee references. Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and not limited to a single agent’s wording.
Marina-related access or fees are clearly part of the Esplanade offering. Multiple remarks mention "boat slip," "boat dock," "marina access," and even a separate "Hawaii Kai Marina Fee," matching the very strong MLS pattern of MARINA in 18 of 20 listings. The evidence is highly consistent across listings and agents.
No analysis available
Water appears to be included in the maintenance fee for many Esplanade listings. The current MLS pattern shows WATER in 14 of 20 listings, which is substantial evidence even though most remarks do not mention it directly. Overall this is a building-level inclusion with strong MLS support.
BBQ/grilling facilities are clearly present and heavily reinforced by the remarks. The feature appears in numerous listings as 'BBQ areas,' 'BBQ pavilions,' '5 gas BBQ grills,' and similar phrasing, suggesting broad and consistent availability.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Car wash facilities are strongly supported by the remarks and historical data. Listings mention a 'car wash area,' 'carwash station,' and even a 'carwash w/vacuum,' which is specific and consistent.
A clubhouse/community-center style amenity is supported, though not as universally as the pool or tennis courts. The remarks are somewhat mixed, but several explicitly mention a clubhouse or similar shared room.
No analysis available
There is solid evidence for a dog-friendly park/area associated with the building. Some listings explicitly say 'dog park,' while others describe the park as a place to walk your dog, supporting the amenity.
No analysis available
Strong, repeated evidence supports an exercise room/fitness center at The Esplanade. Many listings mention 'gym,' 'fitness center,' or 'workout room,' and the amenity appears consistently across multiple agent remarks, not just MLS checkboxes.
No analysis available
A meeting/conference-style common room is well supported by the remarks. Agents repeatedly describe a 'meeting room,' 'party room,' or 'social room,' which aligns well with the MLS amenity data.
Patio/deck amenities are strongly supported by both the MLS checkbox data and the remarks. Multiple listings mention features like "covered lanai," "private lanai," "spacious lanai," "rec deck," and "patio furniture included," showing this is a building-level amenity rather than a one-off unit feature. The evidence appears consistent across many agents and listings, so this should be treated as a real building feature.
There is good evidence for walking/jogging paths associated with the property. Remarks explicitly mention 'walking and jogging paths,' 'walking path,' and marina-side strolling routes.
No analysis available
No analysis available
A putting green is clearly part of the amenity package. Multiple remarks reference 'putting green,' 'golf putting green,' or mini-golf/practice putting areas, making this strongly supported.
The building clearly offers a recreation area or equivalent amenity deck. Multiple listings reference a 'recreation deck,' 'rec area,' and 'recreation areas,' showing consistent support across agents.
There is strong evidence for a recreation room or equivalent shared gathering space. Listings reference a 'party room,' 'social room,' 'rec room,' and a clubhouse-like space with pool table/billiards, indicating a shared indoor amenity.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Sauna is consistently referenced in both MLS and remarks. The language varies between 'sauna,' 'steam room,' and 'steam/sauna rooms,' but the repeated mentions across listings make this highly reliable.
Storage is strongly supported for The Esplanade. Across the provided remarks, well over a dozen listings explicitly mention storage in multiple forms: "additional storage," "storage lockers," "extra storage," and even "4 storage lockers." This appears consistent across many agents rather than a one-off copy-paste note, so the feature should remain true.
This feature is clearly supported by multiple public remarks. The listings explicitly mention surfboard storage, surfboard lockers, and related water-sport storage options.
Tennis courts are confirmed across the listings with extremely consistent language. Remarks repeatedly mention 'tennis courts,' 'lighted tennis & pickle-ball courts,' and similar, making this one of the strongest-supported amenities.
Trash chute has minimal MLS support and no corroborating mention in the public remarks. Because the feature is rarely checked and never described by agents, it appears to be absent or an MLS data inconsistency rather than a confirmed amenity.

The building offers a whirlpool/hot tub/spa amenity. Remarks use a variety of terms—'whirlpool,' 'jacuzzi,' 'hot tub,' and 'spa'—showing consistent support across multiple listings.
The Esplanade clearly has a building-wide swimming pool. Multiple current remarks across many listings mention it, often with detail such as "saltwater pool," "heated salt water pool," and "sparkling pool," indicating this is a shared amenity and not a one-off unit feature.
The pool is explicitly heated in numerous current listings, with multiple agents using consistent phrasing like "heated salt water pool," "heated pool," and "Olympic sized heated salt water pool." This is strong cross-listing evidence and appears to be a real building amenity rather than copy-paste noise.
This is strongly supported across the remarks, with repeated explicit references to a saltwater or heated saltwater pool. The pool type is clear and consistent in the listings.
Strong, consistent evidence that The Esplanade offers in-unit laundry. Multiple current listings explicitly mention it, including at least several with direct phrases such as "in-unit washer/dryer," "laundry closet w/ washer & dryer," "washer and dryer in unit," and "W/D." The evidence appears to be repeated across many listings and agents, not a one-off copy-paste anomaly.
No analysis available
I searched for public remarks indicating shared laundry with payment requirements, such as coin laundry or card-operated machines. The listings do not mention any community laundry fees or pay-per-use laundry.
I looked for wording such as "laundry on every floor," "laundry room on each floor," or similar floor-specific community laundry references. The public remarks mention in-unit washer/dryer and laundry centers, but nothing indicates shared laundry facilities on every floor.
Parking is consistently indicated in MLS checkbox data (20/20 listings) and corroborated in remarks: multiple units state "3 parking spaces & storage lockers in a convenient street-level garage," "2 covered parking stalls," and "one covered parking stall and ample guest parking." Evidence is strong across many agents and listings, indicating building-level parking is present.
Assigned/reserved parking is strongly and consistently supported across the listing set. Multiple remarks across different listings and agents explicitly mention assigned, deeded, or reserved stalls, often with details such as "2 assigned covered parking stalls" and "2 side-by-side covered parking stalls," indicating this is a stable building feature rather than a copy-paste error.
Covered parking is extremely well-supported for this building. Nearly every listing references covered stalls or a garage in some form, with phrases such as '2 assigned covered parking stalls,' '2 side by side covered parking stalls,' '2 covered garaged parking stalls,' and 'street-level garage.' The consistency across many remarks suggests a genuine building feature rather than copy-paste noise.
The remarks clearly indicate deeded parking, which means the parking is owned with the unit. I also saw multiple references to assigned/covered stalls and parking included with the unit, reinforcing that this building offers deeded parking.
No analysis available
The remarks provide a clear monthly fee for the covered parking stalls, and also note a separate fee for an uncovered stall. I used the covered-stall amount as the primary parking fee because it is the clearest explicit monthly parking charge mentioned.
Guest parking is supported by both current remarks and the historical MLS record. At least one listing explicitly says "ample guest parking for visitors," and the broader set continues to reference visitor-friendly parking access, suggesting this amenity is genuinely available in the building.
Secured parking/entry is mentioned in a minority of listings: MLS marks SECENT on 5/20, and remarks include phrases like "24-hour security," "covered secured parking," and "gated community." Evidence indicates secured parking/entry exists in parts of the property or is an emphasized amenity by some agents, but it is not universally described across all listings.

I searched for "parking waitlist," "parking waiting list," and similar wording about joining a list for parking, but found no such references. The remarks consistently describe assigned, covered, or included stalls instead.
No analysis available
I searched for card/fob access language such as keycard entry, card readers, or electronic entry systems. The remarks mention 24-hour security and an on-site resident manager, but not a card-based access system.
Security guard service is very strongly supported for this building. Across many current remarks, multiple listings explicitly mention "24-hour security" or "24/7 security," along with related references to an on-site resident manager and an "outstanding security team." The consistency across numerous agents suggests this is a real building amenity, not just copy-paste checkbox noise.
The listings consistently describe 24-hour security and an on-site security presence. While they do not use the exact word "patrol," the repeated references to active security service support this feature.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is strongly supported across The Esplanade. Dozens of current remarks explicitly mention it, with references such as "central AC," "central air conditioning," "new central A/C," and "the central air system was replaced in 2016," appearing in multiple listings from different agents. This is consistent with the already-high MLS signal and looks like a genuine building-wide feature rather than copy-paste noise.
At least 1 listing explicitly mentions split AC: 'professionally converted to split AC through the permit process.' Most other listings mention central A/C, newer AC, or upgraded central AC, which suggests the building has mixed AC configurations rather than universally split systems. The split AC evidence appears to come from a specific renovated unit, but it is explicit and credible enough to include for buyers searching for buildings with split AC units.
No analysis available
Concrete construction appears to be a building-wide feature at The Esplanade. Current MLS data shows CONCRE in 19 of 20 listings, which is overwhelming support, and the public remarks across many units are consistent with a concrete condominium tower rather than a wood-framed building.
Double-wall construction has some MLS support, with 8 of 20 listings checked, but none of the public remarks explicitly say 'double wall' or similar. The remarks are more focused on views, layouts, and amenities, so this remains a lower-confidence building-level feature.
No analysis available
Masonry/stucco is supported by MLS checkbox data in 10 of 20 listings, but the public remarks do not explicitly describe this construction type. This looks like moderate building-level evidence rather than a remark-confirmed feature.

Above-ground construction is not supported by the public remarks, and the current MLS signal is weak and inconsistent at 7 of 20 listings. Since no listing remarks explicitly mention above-ground construction, this is best treated as a correction rather than a confirmed building feature.

No analysis available
I looked for public-remarks evidence of STR allowance, including phrases like "short-term rental allowed," "legal vacation rental," "NUC," "TVU," or hotel-style rental language, but found none. I also did not see any remarks indicating the building permits short-term rentals, so there is no evidence supporting STR allowance.
I looked for hotel rental pool, hotel-managed program, Hilton/Trump/Ritz-style pool references, or similar branded rental arrangements, but found none. Because there is no evidence that STR is allowed, this feature must be false.
I searched for language such as "mandatory hotel pool," "required to participate," "must be in rental program," or "cannot opt out," but found nothing. With no evidence of any STR/hotel rental program in the remarks, mandatory pool participation is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for leasehold language such as "lease expires," "land lease," "ground lease," "leasehold," and any 4-digit expiration year, but found nothing. There is no public-remarks evidence here to extract a lease expiry year.
Public remarks directly support VA financing approval for this building. Multiple listings mention VA-approved status, including one that says the property is VA assumable, which is strong evidence for the building overall.
This feature is strongly supported by repeated, direct statements across the listings. The remarks explicitly say the building is 'Fully insured' and '100% Insured building!', so this is a high-confidence true.
No analysis available
I looked for language indicating the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation or similar fire-safety certification, but none appeared in the remarks. With no explicit confirmation, this cannot be marked true.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Mountain views are strongly confirmed for this building. Current remarks mention them across many listings with phrases like "mountain views," "Koolau mountains," "mauka to makai breezes," and "views of mountains and lush green gardens," indicating this is not a one-off agent error.
Diamond Head views are clearly supported by multiple listings and agent remarks. Roughly a dozen remarks reference Diamond Head directly, often paired with marina or sunset views, indicating this is a genuine building-level view offering. The repeated phrasing across separate listings suggests the feature is real, not just MLS checkbox noise.

No analysis available
Several listings explicitly call out garden or landscaped views and proximity to Luna Kai Park (phrases include "garden views", "private landscaped park", "lush green gardens"), reported by different agents. This consistent, explicit reporting supports inclusion of garden views for some units.
No analysis available
Marina views are extremely well supported for The Esplanade. Current remarks across many listings explicitly reference "marina views," "marina-front," "Hawaii Kai Marina," "marina waterfront views," and "direct marina views," showing consistent building-level support from multiple agents.
No analysis available
Sunset views are consistently mentioned in the listing remarks, though less frequently than marina or mountain views. Examples include "sunset cocktails," "stunning sunset skies," "enjoy the sunset views," and "magenta sunsets," showing this is a recurring amenity for at least some units in the building.
No analysis available
I looked for direct references to fireworks views from lanais, units, or the building itself. The remarks mention marina, ocean, mountain, sunset, and Diamond Head views, but nothing about fireworks visibility from the building.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The resident manager feature is strongly supported across the listing corpus. Multiple current remarks explicitly state "an on-site resident manager" or "on-site management," and the historical MLS data shows RESMAN in 14 of 20 listings. The consistency across different agents suggests this is a real building-level amenity rather than a copy-paste error.
