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 statements like '80% owner occupied' or 'majority owner occupied' and found none. Listings reference vacation rentals, 30-day minimums, and investment/second-home uses, so I keep the current owner_occupancy value of 5.00 with low confidence due to lack of explicit evidence.
I searched the public remarks for explicit counts (e.g., '4 elevators', 'three elevators') and found none. Remarks do mention 'secured key access to the elevator' but never state how many elevators the building has, so I retain the current value of 3 with low confidence.

All 20 MLS listings check CABTV in association fee fields and public remarks explicitly call out "Cable TV" being included (one remark: "Maintenance fees include Cable TV..."). Evidence is consistent across multiple agents and MLS records, indicating building-wide inclusion of cable in the maintenance fee.
14 of 20 MLS listings list common area expenses in the association fee checkboxes and at least one public remark explicitly states "Common Area Expenses" are included. Multiple agent remarks and MLS checkbox data consistently indicate common area electricity/expenses are part of the maintenance fee.

16 of 20 MLS listings mark HOTWAT and public remarks explicitly list "Hot Water" as included (one remark: "Maintenance fees include ... Hot Water"). The combination of MLS checkbox prevalence and agent remarks provides strong evidence that hot water is included in the association fee.
18 of 20 MLS listings check internet service as part of association fees and at least one public remark explicitly lists "Internet" included. MLS data and agent remarks consistently indicate building internet service is covered by the maintenance fee.
No analysis available
Every MLS listing (20/20) marks SEWER as included and public remarks explicitly reference "sewer" in maintenance coverage (e.g., "inc water, sewer, cable"). Strong, consistent evidence from MLS and agent remarks supports inclusion of sewer in the fees.
18 of 20 MLS listings show WATER checked and public remarks repeatedly state "water" is included in maintenance (one remark: "Maintenance fees include Cable TV, Hot Water, Internet, Common Area Expenses, Sewer, & Water"). The combination of MLS checkbox prevalence and agent remarks indicates water is covered by the association fee.

Strong evidence across the dataset: the MLS checkbox is set on 19/20 listings and public remarks repeatedly mention a gym/fitness center (quotes include “renovated gym,” “fitness center,” and “fitness room”). Many listings reference a renovated or newly renovated gym, indicating the building-level amenity is real and consistently reported across agents rather than a one-off mention.
No analysis available
Moderate evidence: roughly a handful of listings mention a meeting or meeting area (examples: “check out the 2nd floor laundry room, library and meeting rooms!” and “meeting room”). MLS checkbox is set on about half the listings (10/20), but mentions are less frequent and may reflect selective marketing; still, the building does offer a shared meeting/conference space.

Strong evidence: the MLS checkbox is set on 14/20 listings and numerous remarks explicitly list a sauna (e.g., “sauna,” “new sauna,” “dry sauna”), often alongside the gym and pool. Multiple agents describe it consistently, indicating a bona fide building amenity.
Building-level storage is supported by MLS checkbox data (9/20 listings show building storage in amenities; 7/20 show storage in unit features) and by multiple remarks. Remarks include phrases like "storage," "surf board storage," and "bike storage," appearing across several different listings, indicating the building offers storage/lockers for residents.
Multiple public remarks advertise surfboard/ surf storage (including private surf board storage in garage), so the building clearly provides surfboard storage facilities.
No analysis available
Reasonably strong evidence: the MLS checkbox is present on 17/20 listings and at least one public remark explicitly notes a “trash chute.” Though less prominently advertised in many listings, the high frequency of the MLS checkbox combined with explicit mentions supports inclusion of a building trash chute.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Moderate evidence: several listings call out a whirlpool/hot tub/spa (quotes include “new whirlpool,” “hot tub,” and “jacuzzi/spa”), and the MLS checkbox is present on 10/20 listings. The frequency suggests a building-level spa/whirlpool amenity that is commonly advertised but not as universally highlighted as the gym or sauna.
All 20 current MLS listings list a pool amenity and at least 15 separate public remarks explicitly mention the building pool. Key phrases include 'newly tiled pool and pool deck', 'new heated saltwater pool & whirlpool', and 'newly renovated pool and spa', indicating a shared amenity widely referenced by multiple agents rather than a single copy/paste error.
No analysis available
Several listings explicitly describe the pool as a saltwater (salt water / saltwater) pool and often as heated, providing strong evidence the building's pool is saltwater.
Evidence that some units have in-unit laundry is strong: roughly 11 listings explicitly state in-unit washer/dryer (phrases include 'Washer/dryer in the condo', 'washer and dryer are in-unit', 'inside washer and dryer', and 'fully furnished including washer/dryer'). These confirmations come from multiple agent remarks across different listings and match the MLS inclusions (11/20), indicating the building does offer units with in-unit laundry.
Building-level shared laundry is well-supported: MLS amenity checkbox lists COMLAU in 16/20 listings and several public remarks explicitly mention 'community laundry', '2nd floor laundry room', or 'community laundry area'. While some agent copy/paste is possible, consistent MLS amenity checks plus multiple remarks from different listings indicate the building provides shared laundry facilities.
Multiple remarks reference 'community laundry' or '2nd floor laundry room' but none specify payment method. I searched for 'coin', 'card', 'quarters', 'paid', 'coin-op' and related terms and found no references; therefore there is no evidence the community laundry is paid.
Listings repeatedly mention a community laundry and specifically a 2nd-floor laundry room, but do not state laundry on each floor. I searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry' and found none; evidence indicates centralized/community laundry rather than per-floor facilities.
Building-level parking is clearly available. Public remarks across the listing set repeatedly mention parking/garage access (e.g., "assigned parking stall", "secure covered parking stall", "secure garage", "included secure parking space") and MLS checkbox data shows 16 of 20 listings with parking-related features. Evidence is consistent across multiple agents and units, so include parking=true.
Assigned/reserved parking is commonly offered in this building. At least 10–12 individual public remarks explicitly state assigned or deeded stalls (examples: "assigned parking stall", "deeded parking stalls", "1 covered, assigned parking stall", "seller secured a rental parking space...paid for until the end of 2025"). Combined with MLS data (13/20 ASSIGN), the evidence across listings is strong and consistent, so include parking_assigned=true.
No analysis available
Public remarks include explicit references to deeded parking (e.g., 'two deeded parking stalls') and assigned/deeded/covered parking stalls included with units, indicating parking is deeded/owned with units.
No analysis available
Searched for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', or dollar amounts for parking. Remarks mention rental/paid parking arrangements and paid-through dates (e.g., 'paid for until the end of 2025') but do not provide a monthly fee amount.

Searched remarks for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', or similar. None of the listings reference a waitlist process for parking, so there is no evidence of a waitlist in public remarks.
No analysis available
Multiple public remarks explicitly reference keyed/fob/card style electronic access for building/garage/elevator, which confirms card/fob access security exists in the building.
All 20 of the current listings have the SECGUA amenity checked, and numerous public remarks explicitly mention building security (quotes include '24 hour guard service', '24/7 security', '24 hour security patrol', and '24 hr guard service'). Evidence is consistent across multiple agent listings and aligns with the MLS checkbox, so inclusion is supported with high confidence.
Numerous listings explicitly describe 24-hour guard/security and patrol service. The consistent explicit references indicate the building maintains an active security/guard patrol.

13 of 20 current MLS listings have ACWIUN checked. Public remarks explicitly state 'both spilt and window AC units' in at least one listing, and several others reference 'new AC units' or 'split AC', indicating a mix of window and split systems across units. Evidence across multiple listings and the MLS checkbox supports including window_ac for the building.
All 20 current MLS listings for this building have the construction_materials checkbox set to CONCRE, indicating concrete construction. None of the public remarks explicitly state 'concrete', 'concrete building', or 'reinforced concrete', so evidence relies on uniform MLS checkbox entries across listings; this could reflect accurate building data or repeated agent copy-paste. Confidence is moderate (0.75) because the MLS data is unanimous but lacking explicit corroborating language in remarks.

Remarks consistently state the AOAO/house rules require a 30-day minimum rental, which precludes short-term (under-30-day) rentals. Therefore short-term rentals (nightly/less-than-30-day) are not allowed per public remarks.
No public remarks reference a hotel rental pool or hotel-managed rental program. Since short-term rentals are not permitted by house rules, hotel-rental-pool participation is not applicable.
Remarks do not indicate any mandatory hotel-rental-pool participation and in fact emphasize owner use and 30-day minimum rentals. Therefore mandatory pool participation is not indicated.

Multiple remarks explicitly state the leasehold expires in April 2034 (e.g., 'Leasehold unit with lease expiring April of 2034'). Use 2034 as the lease expiry year.
Searched remarks for phrases like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans'. No listings reference VA loan approval or acceptance, so VA financing is not indicated in public remarks.
I reviewed the remarks for language indicating the HOA provides full/walls-in insurance (e.g., 'fully insured', 'walls-in coverage', 'full insurance') and found none. Because this can only be established from remarks, the feature is marked false with moderate (medium-low) confidence.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for phrases like 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', and 'passed fire inspection' and found no references. With no evidence in the public remarks, the feature is marked false with moderate (medium-low) confidence.

Well-supported: 10 of 20 current listings list OCEAN in view_descriptions and multiple remarks state 'ocean views', 'oceanfront', and 'Pacific' (e.g., 'Enjoy stunning ocean and beach views', 'oceanfront building directly across from Waikiki Beach'). Evidence is strong and consistent across many listings and agents, indicating the building offers ocean-view units.

Supported: 6 of 20 listings list CITY in view_descriptions and remarks include phrases like 'city skyline', 'wrap around city...views', and 'vibrant city life'. Multiple listings mention city/mountain/urban vistas, so the building offers city-view units.
Supported: 7 of 20 listings list COASTL in view_descriptions and remarks include 'full Waikiki coastline', 'ocean and shoreline', and 'panoramic views of the ocean and shoreline'. Multiple listings across agents reference the coastline, indicating the building offers coastline-view units.

I searched all remarks for 'fireworks', 'watch fireworks', 'view fireworks', 'lanai fireworks', etc., and found no references. There is no evidence the building offers views of Friday night (or other) fireworks from units.

15 of 20 current MLS listings list RESMAN in amenities. Several public remarks explicitly state 'resident manager' (examples: '24/7 security & resident manager', 'resident manager, and in the resort-zoned location'), and many other ads reference 24-hour security/guard service consistent with an on-site manager. The MLS checkbox majority plus direct mentions across multiple agent remarks indicate the building offers an on-site/resident manager.
