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 the remarks for explicit owner-occupancy statements and found none. Per the rules, because a current value exists (5.00) and remarks do not confirm or contradict it, I retained the current value with low confidence and noted there is no corroborating evidence in the public remarks.
I searched all public remarks for explicit counts (e.g., '3 elevators', 'four elevators') and found none. There is mention of secured/key access to the elevator, but no numeric count, so I kept the current value of 3 with low confidence per rules.

All 20 current MLS listings mark Cable TV included (CABTV) and public remarks repeatedly note 'Cable TV' or 'Cable' is included. Remarks include explicit lines like 'Maintenance fees include Cable TV' and other listings stating 'maintenance fees cover... cable.' Evidence is consistent across many agents and listings.
14 of 20 MLS listings indicate common area expenses included and multiple public remarks mention 'Common Area Expenses' or 'common area' being covered by maintenance fees. The mentions appear across different listings and agents, supporting inclusion.

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.
18 of 20 MLS listings indicate internet included and public remarks repeatedly state 'Internet' or 'internet' is covered (e.g., 'Maintenance fees cover... internet'). The evidence is explicit and consistent across multiple listings.
No analysis available
All 20 current MLS listings show sewer included and public remarks frequently state 'sewer' is covered by maintenance fees. This is uniformly represented across listings and agents, giving very strong evidence.
18 of 20 MLS records indicate water included and numerous public remarks explicitly list 'water' among covered utilities. The mentions span multiple listings and agents, providing strong, consistent support.
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.

Very strong evidence across listings: multiple remarks (well over a dozen of the provided unit remarks) explicitly reference a gym/fitness center (quotes include “newly renovated gym,” “fitness center,” and “exercise room”). Historical MLS checkbox is set on 19/20 listings and current remarks consistently confirm the amenity across many agents, indicating a building-wide fitness facility.
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.
Building-level outdoor spaces are repeatedly mentioned across listings: at least nine MLS entries have PATDEC/COVPAT checked and many remarks explicitly state '113 sq. ft. lanai', 'large wrap-around patio overlooking the famous Waikiki Beach', or 'enclosed lanai'. Evidence comes from multiple distinct listings and agents rather than a single copy/paste—supporting inclusion of patio/deck as a building feature.

Strong evidence across listings: numerous remarks explicitly reference a sauna (quotes: “sauna,” “new sauna,” “dry sauna”) and the MLS checkbox is set on 14/20 listings. Multiple agents consistently list the sauna as a building amenity, indicating a building-wide sauna facility with high confidence.
MLS checkbox data indicates building storage (9 of 20 listings) and unit-level storage (6 of 20). Current remarks explicitly reference storage in multiple listings (examples: "private surf board storage", "storage, 24 hour security, bike storage", "storage for the residences", "surf storage", "storage options"). Evidence is consistent across several agent remarks and aligns with prior MLS checkbox data, so building-level storage/lockers are included with high confidence.
Several public remarks specifically reference surfboard or surf storage (including private surf board storage in the garage), confirming surfboard storage exists in the building.
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.
Convincing evidence: the MLS checkbox appears on 17/20 listings and at least one public remark explicitly states “convenient trash chute.” The combination of widespread MLS reporting and explicit remark(s) across agents supports inclusion of a building trash chute with high confidence.

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 listings reference a building pool (e.g., "heated pool", "salt water swimming pool", "newly renovated pool", "new heated saltwater pool & whirlpool"). Evidence is consistent across multiple agent remarks and appears to be confirmed by renovation notes ("newly tiled pool and pool deck", "currently in construction / Est completion"), indicating a strong building-level amenity rather than isolated copy-paste errors.
Moderately strong evidence that the building's pool is heated: at least ten separate listings' remarks explicitly reference a heated or heated saltwater pool (quotes include "heated saltwater pool", "New heated saltwater pool & whirlpool", and "heated pool (currently in construction)"). Multiple agents independently mention heating, so this is likely a building-level heated pool rather than isolated or erroneous checkbox data.
Several listings explicitly describe the swimming pool as saltwater (including 'heated saltwater pool'), providing strong evidence the building's pool is salt water.
Multiple current public remarks explicitly state in-unit laundry across several listings (at least 6 listings mention phrases like 'in-unit washer and dryer', 'Washer and dryer are in-unit', and 'including washer/dryer'). Historical MLS data also strongly supported in-unit laundry (12/20 listings). Evidence is consistent across multiple agents and confirms that some units in the building include a washer/dryer.
Strong evidence the building has shared laundry facilities: the MLS amenities flag lists COMLAU on 16 of 20 listings, and at least four public remarks explicitly mention a 'community laundry', '2nd floor laundry room', or 'community laundry area' (e.g., 'check out the 2nd floor laundry room' and 'community laundry'). Mentions appear in multiple listings and align with the MLS checkbox, indicating the feature is building-wide rather than isolated or a copy-paste error.
Searched the remarks for payment-related terms such as 'coin laundry', 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'card operated', or 'paid laundry'. While the building is described as having community laundry, there is no explicit indication that the laundry is paid.
Searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry'. The public remarks mention a community laundry and a 2nd-floor laundry room, but there is no explicit statement that laundry facilities are available on every floor.
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.
Strong evidence that the building offers assigned parking: at least 14 MLS records indicate assigned parking and numerous remarks explicitly state "assigned parking stall", "one covered, assigned parking stall", or "two assigned covered parking stalls." Mentions come from multiple agent listings (not isolated to a single posting), supporting a high-confidence building-level feature.
Multiple listings (around a dozen) explicitly mention covered parking: phrases include "assigned, secure covered parking stall", "two assigned covered parking stalls", "covered-secured parking", and references to a secured/gated garage. The consistency across many remarks and supporting MLS checkbox data provide strong evidence that covered parking is offered in the building.
Numerous listings explicitly state assigned or deeded/owned parking stalls are included with units (including phrasing 'deeded parking stalls' and 'assigned covered parking stalls'), supporting that parking is deeded.
No analysis available
Searched the remarks for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', '$/month', 'parking rental', and similar terms and found no explicit monthly parking charge. Many units are described as having an 'assigned', 'deeded', or 'included' parking stall and one remark notes the seller paid a rental parking space through 2025, so there is no consistent public listing evidence of a separate recurring parking fee to extract.
Moderate evidence for guest parking: 11/20 current MLS records include guest parking and at least 3–4 public remarks explicitly mention "guest parking" or "visitor parking" (e.g., "guest parking - rare for this prime location", "guest parking, EV charging stations..."). The evidence is present across multiple listings but less uniformly referenced than assigned parking, so confidence is moderate.

Searched all public remarks for terms indicating a parking waitlist (e.g., 'waitlist', 'waiting list', 'join waitlist') and found none. With no public mention, we report false with medium confidence (absence in listings suggests no advertised waitlist).
No analysis available
Public remarks consistently reference fob/keyed electronic access for building/garage/elevator entry, indicating card/fob access is present.
High-confidence evidence: MLS data shows SECGUA on 20/20 listings and numerous public remarks explicitly state building security (quotes include '24-hour security', '24/7 security', and '24 hour guard service'). Mentions appear consistently across many agents/listings, supporting that Foster Tower provides on-site security/guard service.
Listings repeatedly advertise 24-hour guard/security service and security patrol; this provides strong evidence the building maintains security patrol/guard service.

MLS checkbox ACWIUN is set on 13 of 20 current listings and at least one remark explicitly notes 'both spilt and window AC units.' Several other remarks reference split or new AC units, indicating a mix of systems across units. Evidence comes from multiple listings/agents (some likely copy-pasted), but the combination of the high number of ACWIUN checkboxes and explicit remarks provides strong support that some units have window air conditioning.
All 20 current MLS records for Foster Tower list construction_materials as 'CONCRE' (20/20 listings). None of the public remarks explicitly say 'concrete' or 'reinforced concrete', but the consistent checkbox across multiple listings/agents suggests the building is concrete rather than a sporadic agent entry. Confidence is high due to unanimous MLS checkbox data despite lack of explicit phrasing in remarks.
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.

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.

Only 2 of 20 MLS listings show the above-ground construction checkbox, and none of the public remarks reference 'above ground' construction or materials. The lack of supporting language across multiple listings indicates the few checked boxes are likely inconsistent agent entries rather than a building-level feature.

Public remarks consistently state the AOAO/house rules require a 30-day minimum rental period and that the building allows minimum 30-day vacation rentals; therefore short-term (under-30-day) rentals are not allowed.
No evidence of hotel rental pool participation in the public remarks, and given short-term rentals are disallowed, hotel rental pool participation is not applicable.
No evidence that units are required to participate in any hotel or rental pool program; since STRs are not permitted under 30-day minimum rules, mandatory pool participation does not apply.

Several listings explicitly reference the leasehold expiring in April 2034 (including exact phrase 'lease expiring April of 2034'), so use 2034 as the lease expiry year with high confidence.
Searched the public remarks for phrases like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', and 'VA loans accepted' and found no references. Because the remarks do not indicate VA approval, we report false with medium confidence (absence of mention suggests not approved in public listing text).
I reviewed all public remarks for language indicating HOA walls-in or comprehensive building insurance and found none. Absent explicit mention and no current verified value, this is set to false with medium confidence.
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 searched the remarks for terms like 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE', 'fire safety certified', and 'passed fire inspection' and found no references. With no explicit statements present and no current verified value, the feature is set to false with medium confidence.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Strong evidence the building offers ocean views: current MLS data lists OCEAN in 8 of 20 listings and many remarks state phrases like 'breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean', 'overlooking iconic Waikiki Beach', and 'sweeping views of the Pacific'. These references appear across multiple agent remarks (some likely copy/pasted), indicating the building consistently advertises ocean-view units.
No analysis available
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.
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.
Strong evidence: 6 of 20 current listings mention coastline views with phrases such as 'full Waikiki coastline', 'shoreline', and 'panoramic views,' indicating the building offers coastline-view units and supporting high confidence.

Clear evidence across multiple listings: 3 of 20 current listings mention sunrise views with direct phrases like 'sunrise views over Diamond Head' and 'sunrise and ocean views,' indicating some units in the building offer sunrise exposure.
Evidence the building offers sunset views: current MLS data lists SUNSET in 5 of 20 listings and several public remarks explicitly mention 'sunsets' and 'stunning sunsets every evening.' These repeated references across listings indicate some units provide evening/western exposure and sunset views.
No analysis available
Searched for explicit phrases like 'fireworks view', 'watch fireworks from lanai', or 'see fireworks from unit'. The public remarks include many references to ocean, Diamond Head, sunset, and beach views but contain no references to fireworks views from the building.

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.
