Foster Tower
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 language, including percentages or phrases like 'majority owner occupied,' and found nothing. Because a current value exists, I kept 5.00 and did not change it without direct evidence.
I searched the public remarks for any explicit elevator count or wording like 'multiple elevators' and found nothing. Since a current value exists, I kept 3 and did not guess based on the 25-story building context.

Cable TV inclusion is strongly supported. Current MLS data shows CABTV in 20 of 20 listings, and remarks explicitly state "Maintenance fees include Cable TV" and "LOW MAINTENANCE INC WATER, SEWER, CABLE." The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears building-level rather than copy-paste error.
Common-area cost inclusion is supported by the current MLS record set, with 14 of 20 listings marked OTCOEX. One public remark explicitly lists "Common Area Expenses" in the maintenance fee inclusions, which reinforces the building-level pattern. This is strong evidence, though the wording suggests common expenses more than specifically electricity.

16 of 20 MLS records list hot water included and public remarks include explicit statements such as 'Maintenance fees include... Hot Water' and 'Hot Water' in the list of covered utilities. Multiple listings confirm this feature, giving strong, consistent evidence.
Internet inclusion is very strongly supported. The current MLS data shows INTSER in 19 of 20 listings, and remarks explicitly say "Maintenance fees cover water, sewer, internet, and cable." The consistency across listings suggests this is a true building-wide fee inclusion.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is confirmed at the building level. All 20 current MLS listings include SEWER, and remarks repeatedly state that maintenance fees cover "water, sewer, internet, and cable" or "WATER, SEWER." This is overwhelming evidence and shows no sign of a correction needed.
Water inclusion is strongly supported. Current MLS data shows WATER in 17 of 20 listings, and several remarks explicitly mention "water" in the fee bundle, such as "Maintenance fees cover water, sewer, internet, and cable" and "LOW MAINTENANCE INC WATER." The evidence is consistent enough to treat as a building feature.
At least one public remark explicitly lists a "BBQ area" and 4 of 20 current MLS records have the BBQ amenity checked. Historical confidence was Medium (multiple records checked previously), but mentions are sparse across remarks and could reflect agent copy/paste; overall the building likely offers BBQ facilities but evidence is moderate rather than strong.

Sparse evidence: a public remark explicitly mentions “car wash” and a few MLS checkboxes (3/20) indicate car wash facilities. Because mentions are infrequent and may reflect selective reporting, this is included as a possible building amenity with moderate confidence.

The building’s exercise amenity is strongly supported: multiple remarks mention a "renovated gym," "fitness center," "fitness room," or "exercise room." This appears repeatedly across many listings and agents, consistent with the high-confidence MLS amenity data and not just a one-off copy-paste.
No analysis available
Moderate evidence: several listings mention a meeting or meeting area (quotes include "check out the 2nd floor laundry room, library and meeting rooms!" and "versatile meeting area"). Mentions are fewer than for other amenities but consistent enough to include the feature for buyers searching for meeting space.
This feature is strongly supported across many listings, not just one agent. At least several remarks explicitly mention a 'large wrap-around patio,' 'lanai,' 'large lanai for outdoor enjoyment,' and 'enclosed lanai space,' which matches the historical MLS PATDEC/COVPAT pattern. Evidence appears consistent across multiple listings and looks building-level rather than a one-off unit feature.

There is little to no supporting evidence for a building recreation room. With only 2/20 MLS amenity flags and no matching language in the remarks, this feature looks likely to be a copy/paste or checkbox error rather than a confirmed common amenity.

Sauna is consistently confirmed across the listing remarks, with many independent descriptions of "sauna," "new sauna," and "dry sauna." The repetition across numerous listings strongly aligns with the MLS data and indicates this is a real shared building amenity.
Building storage is consistently referenced across the remarks and in prior MLS checkbox data (9/20 listings list STORAG/ADDLVSTORAG). Remarks include phrases like “storage,” “storage options,” “surf board storage,” and “bike storage,” mentioned by multiple listings/agents, indicating the building offers storage/lockers to residents.
I looked for surfboard storage, board storage, or surf storage facilities. The listings explicitly mention both private surf board storage and surf storage, confirming this amenity.
Some evidence: a public remark explicitly lists a “tennis court” (quoted phrase) and one MLS listing has the tennis amenity checked. Mentions are rare across the dataset, suggesting limited or infrequently-advertised tennis facilities, so include with moderate confidence.
Trash chute is supported by the strong MLS data and at least one explicit remark referencing a "convenient trash chute." While it is mentioned less often in remarks than the gym or sauna, the historical consistency suggests this is a genuine building feature rather than a copy-paste error.

Good evidence across listings: several unit remarks explicitly mention a whirlpool/hot tub/jacuzzi (examples: "new whirlpool," "jacuzzi," "newly installed hot tub"). Mentions appear in multiple listings and support inclusion of the whirlpool feature.
Pool is strongly confirmed for Foster Tower. Multiple listings across different agents describe it in detail, including "newly tiled pool and pool deck," "new heated saltwater pool," "heated pool," and "swimming pool," which makes this a well-supported shared amenity. The evidence is consistent across the remarks and aligns with the high-confidence MLS history.
The pool being heated is well supported by both historical MLS data and current public remarks. At least several listings explicitly say "heated pool," "heated saltwater pool," or "new heated saltwater pool & whirlpool," while others reference a heated pool currently under construction. The repeated wording across multiple remarks suggests this is a real building amenity rather than a checkbox-only artifact.
The remarks repeatedly and directly identify the pool as salt water/saltwater. This is strong confirmation that the building has a saltwater pool.
Strong evidence supports in-unit laundry for Foster Tower. At least 4 listings explicitly mention it, including phrases such as "washer/dryer in unit," "the convenience of an in-unit washer and dryer," and "inside washer and dryer." The mentions appear across multiple remarks, suggesting this is a real building feature rather than a copy-paste MLS error.
Strong evidence the building has shared laundry facilities: 16 of 20 MLS listings include the COMLAU amenity flag and multiple public remarks explicitly state "community laundry" or "check out the 2nd floor laundry room." Some unit remarks also note in-unit washer/dryer when present, suggesting agents consistently report both shared and in-unit laundry where applicable.
I searched for public-remark evidence that community laundry requires payment, such as coin laundry, paid laundry, or card/quarter-operated machines. Nothing in the listings explicitly indicates paid laundry, so this remains unconfirmed.
I looked for language such as laundry on each floor, laundry room on every floor, or floor-by-floor laundry. The remarks only point to a centralized/community laundry area, including a specific mention of a 2nd floor laundry room, which does not support every-floor laundry.
Building-level parking is well-supported: MLS checkbox data shows 15 of 20 listings list parking, and many public remarks explicitly mention assigned or covered stalls, guest parking, deeded stalls, secured garage access, and paid rental parking (e.g., "assigned parking stall", "two deeded parking stalls", "covered assigned parking stall", "guest parking", "secured garage"). Evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listings, indicating parking is a real building feature.
Strong building-level evidence that Foster Tower offers assigned parking. Multiple recent listings explicitly say "assigned" or "deeded" parking, and the pattern appears across several agents rather than a one-off remark. This aligns with the historical MLS data showing 14/20 listings flagged for assigned parking.
Covered parking is clearly available at Foster Tower. Multiple listings mention it directly, including “secure covered parking stall,” “two assigned covered parking stalls,” and “gated garage,” which strongly confirms the MLS checkbox data. The evidence is repeated across several listings/agents, not just a single copied remark.
I found direct language showing parking is deeded/owned with the unit, including a listing that says "two deeded parking stalls." Additional remarks also reference assigned parking, which is consistent with deeded parking.
No analysis available
I searched for parking fees, monthly parking charges, parking rental amounts, and similar language, but found no consistent recurring fee. The only price-like reference appears to be a temporary paid parking arrangement, which is not enough to establish a building parking fee.
Guest parking appears to be an available building feature at Foster Tower. At least two public remarks explicitly mention it, including one listing that says “guest parking” and another that lists “GUEST PARKING” among the amenities. Combined with the current MLS data, this is strong confirmation rather than a likely copy-paste error.
There is strong evidence that parking/building access is secured through gated, fob, or secured entry systems. Several listings explicitly mention "24 hr secured entry," "secure remote entry," and "fob key building and garage entry," which is consistent across multiple remarks. This is stronger than the checkbox rate alone and indicates genuine secured access.

I looked for terms like "parking waitlist," "waiting list," and similar phrases, but found nothing. With no public remark evidence, there is no basis to say the building has a formal parking waitlist.
No analysis available
I searched for key card, fob, card reader, and electronic access language. The public remarks clearly indicate fob/keyed entry and secured access, confirming a card/fob-based security system.
Security guard service is strongly confirmed for Foster Tower. Across the provided remarks, many listings explicitly mention "24-hour security," "24 hour security," "24/7 security," "24 hr guard," and "24 hour guard service," indicating this is a consistent building amenity rather than a one-off claim. The evidence is broad and repeated across multiple remarks, matching the historical MLS checkbox data.
The remarks directly mention patrol/guard coverage, including "24-hour security patrol" and 24-hour guard service. That is strong evidence of security patrol service for the building.

Split AC is clearly supported by the remarks across several listings. At least 3 listings explicitly mention it with phrases like "split AC," "newly installed split AC system," and "both split and window AC units," which suggests this is not just copy/paste checkbox noise. Since buyers searching for ductless mini-split cooling would care about this building, it should be included.
Window AC is supported by both the MLS history and multiple current remarks. Several listings explicitly mention AC units or window/split AC, including phrases like 'new AC units,' 'newly installed split AC system,' and 'both split and window AC units.' This appears to be consistent building/unit reporting rather than a one-off agent copy-paste, and it supports that some units in the building offer window AC.
All current MLS listings list construction_materials as CONCRE, which is very strong building-level evidence. The public remarks do not explicitly say "concrete," but they repeatedly describe Foster Tower as a secure high-rise / landmark condominium, fully consistent with concrete construction. This appears to be stable MLS data rather than agent copy-paste error.
Three of 20 MLS listings include the double-wall checkbox, but none of the public remarks mention 'double wall' or related phrasing. The limited, inconsistent checkbox usage without supporting remarks suggests this is not a verified building-wide feature.

No analysis available
Only 2 of 20 current MLS listings show STEFRA in construction_materials and none of the public remarks mention 'steel frame' or similar. Given the sparse checkbox presence and lack of corroborating remarks, this appears to be isolated checkbox entries rather than a building-wide steel-frame construction.

A minority of current MLS listings (4/20) indicate above-ground construction, and historical data previously supported the feature. The public remarks across many listings do not explicitly mention 'above ground' construction, so this appears to be MLS-supported but not remark-confirmed.
Only 1 of 20 current MLS records shows BRICK in construction_materials and none of the public remarks mention 'brick' or 'brick-and-mortar' construction. This single checkbox entry appears to be an outlier or copy/paste error by an agent, so the building should not be reported as brick construction.
No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly show that short-term rentals are allowed on a 30-day minimum basis. That means STRs are permitted under house rules, though not on a nightly/weekly hotel-style basis.
I searched for hotel pool language such as hotel rental pool, managed by hotel, or brand-specific pool programs and found none. The remarks instead focus on standard 30-day rentals, so there is no evidence of a hotel rental pool.
I looked for language indicating a required rental pool or mandatory participation, but found none. The remarks emphasize owner flexibility and 30-day rental rules, which are inconsistent with a mandatory hotel pool program.

The leasehold expiration year is clearly identified as 2034 in multiple remarks. This is strong and consistent evidence, so the lease expiry should be recorded as 2034.
I searched the public remarks for VA-related language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted" and found none. The only financing mention is portfolio financing through a bank, which is not evidence of VA eligibility.
I searched the remarks for HOA insurance language such as 'fully insured,' 'full insurance,' 'walls-in coverage,' or similar wording and found none. There is no public-remark evidence to mark the building as fully insured.
No listings' public remarks (0 of ~30 provided) mention 'fire sprinkler', 'sprinkler system', or 'fire suppression'. The CURRENT MLS data shows FIRSPR checked in only 1/20 listings, and there is no historical confidence to support the feature—most agent remarks list many amenities but never sprinklers, suggesting the single checkbox is likely an isolated entry rather than building-wide equipment.
I looked for phrases indicating a passed fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE, fire safety certification, or a passed fire inspection. The remarks mention security, guards, and a well-maintained building, but nothing that directly confirms this feature.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Ocean views are very strongly supported across the listing set. Multiple remarks explicitly mention 'stunning ocean views,' 'breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean,' and 'oceanfront building directly across from Waikiki Beach.' This appears consistent across many agents/listings rather than a one-off copy-paste issue.
Moderate evidence: 6 of 20 current listings mention mountain/ Diamond Head-type views and several remarks explicitly state "mountain" or "Diamond Head" (e.g., "sunrise views over Diamond Head", "mountain and city views"). Evidence is consistent across multiple listings but not ubiquitous, indicating some units offer mountain views.
Moderate-to-strong evidence: 3 of 20 current listings mention Diamond Head with explicit phrases such as 'Enjoy ocean and diamond head views' and 'Sunrise views over Diamond Head.' Multiple remarks from different listings support inclusion of Diamond Head views for the building.
City views are supported by both MLS data and remarks. Several listings describe 'city skyline' and 'wrap around city' views, indicating this is a real building-level offering for some units. The evidence is consistent enough to include.
Coastline views are well supported across the building. Multiple listings describe 'Diamond Head coastline,' 'full Waikiki coastline,' and 'ocean and shoreline' views, which is consistent with the current MLS data. The feature appears genuine and broadly advertised.

Sunrise views are supported by a meaningful subset of listings. Public remarks include explicit references to 'sunrise views over Diamond Head' and a 'Sunrise facing side of building,' which aligns with the MLS view descriptions. This suggests some units have true eastern/sunrise exposure.
Sunset views are strongly supported. The remarks repeatedly reference sunsets, including 'unforgettable sunsets' and 'stunning sunsets every evening,' and the MLS data shows SUNSET in most listings. This is strong evidence of a building feature available in many units.
No analysis available
I looked for direct statements like fireworks view, watch fireworks from the lanai, or see fireworks from unit. The remarks emphasize ocean, beach, sunset, and Diamond Head views, but do not explicitly mention fireworks views from the building.

Evidence strongly supports a resident manager at Foster Tower. Historical MLS checkbox data was high-confidence (14/20 listings with RESMAN), and current remarks explicitly mention "resident manager" in multiple listings, confirming the amenity rather than suggesting a copied checkbox error. This appears to be a consistent building-level feature across the listings reviewed.
