Hawaiki 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.

About Hawaiki Tower
Hawaiki Tower is located in the Downtown–Chinatown neighborhood and was built in 1999. According to available records, the building is constructed of concrete. Size and unit-specific square footage are not provided in the MLS data.

Parking is available and noted as covered and assigned, with guest parking also indicated. Pets and short-term rentals are not allowed. The management company is listed as unknown in the MLS. This summary is based on MLS data; buyers should verify all details, policies, fees, and current conditions with the listing agent or management.

The listings do not provide any percentage or descriptive indication of how many units are owner-occupied versus rented. Because there is no direct information about owner-occupancy, this value remains unknown.
Listings confirm that the building has multiple elevators but never specify how many (e.g., '2', '3', '4'). Because the exact number is not provided anywhere in the remarks, the elevator count 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.
Multiple listings explicitly describe what the low maintenance fee includes (e.g., “includes hot water, water, internet, and basic cable” and “maintenance in Kakaako includes basic Spectrum TV Wi-Fi and hot water”) but never mention central A/C despite many units having central air. Current MLS data shows only 8 of 20 listings with ACCEN checked, while the rest do not, and remarks emphasize low fees rather than A/C being covered. Together this strongly suggests that central air conditioning is a unit feature paid separately, not included in the maintenance fees.
Across 20/20 current MLS listings, cable TV (CABTV) is marked as included in the association fee. Remarks from multiple independent listings confirm this with phrases like 'includes basic Spectrum TV Wi-Fi' and 'low maintenance fee includes ... basic cable.' Evidence is strong and consistent across agents, not just a single copy-paste source.

Most MLS entries (19/20) indicate hot water is included in HOA fees, with no evidence of individual water heaters. Multiple remarks clearly state that the 'maintenance fee includes ... hot water,' confirming that hot water is a building-provided, HOA-included utility. This is consistent across different units and agents.
Internet service is marked as included in the HOA in the majority of MLS records (15/20). Remarks reinforce this with specific references to 'basic Spectrum TV Wi-Fi' and 'maintenance fee includes ... internet,' indicating building-wide internet service bundled in the fees. This goes beyond a lobby-only amenity and is repeated across multiple listings.
No analysis available
Nearly all MLS entries (19/20) show sewer charges included in the association fee. While remarks focus more on cable, internet, and water, none indicate separate sewer billing, and descriptions of 'low' or 'reasonable' but comprehensive maintenance fees support that sewer is bundled. Evidence is strong and consistent with local condo norms.
Water is marked as HOA-included in almost all MLS records, and a detailed remark specifically notes that the 'low maintenance fee includes hot water, water, internet, and basic cable.' This explicit confirmation, combined with consistent MLS checkbox data, provides very strong building-wide evidence that water is included.
Building-wide BBQ facilities are repeatedly described, e.g., 'BBQ areas', 'BBQ grills', 'multiple barbecue areas', and 'BBQ pavilion' on the amenity deck. With 19/20 listings checking the BBQ amenity and numerous independent remarks confirming it, this is a well-established shared feature. Buyers can expect common outdoor grilling areas available to residents.

10/20 MLS listings include DGPRK, and remarks state the '3rd-floor community garden doubles as a private dog park', mention a 'dog park', a 'doggy "pet area"', and a 'dog area' on the amenity deck.

One listing clearly notes 'a meeting room' as part of the building’s resort-style amenities, and 11/20 MLS entries check the meeting-room amenity. While most remarks focus on pool and outdoor amenities, the combination of MLS data and explicit mention supports that a shared meeting/conference-type room exists. Buyers needing a community or meeting space should find this building relevant.
Confidence 90%: 13 of 18 MLS listings show PATDEC/COVPAT in amenities and remarks mention units with covered lanais.

9/20 MLS listings include PUTGRE, and many remarks list a 'putting green' among the amenities, often together with the tennis court and playground.
Multiple remarks refer to a shared 'recreation deck', 'recreation areas', and 'amenity deck' that group pool, tennis, BBQ, playground, gardens, and walking paths. With over half of MLS entries marking a recreation-area amenity and consistent textual descriptions, there is strong evidence of a dedicated common recreation/amenity deck. This deck is clearly accessible to residents beyond any single unit.

13/20 MLS listings have storage in amenities and 8/20 in unit_features; remarks reference 'two storage lockers', a 'rare storage room 8.5' x 20'', a 'HUGE lighted 160 sq ft storage room', storage cabinets above stalls, and deeded storage rooms.
Several remarks explicitly list surfboard racks or surfboard storage as building amenities. This confirms that the building provides dedicated surfboard storage facilities.
Remarks across many listings consistently note a building tennis facility, including 'a tennis court', 'tennis/pickleball court', 'pickleball & tennis courts', and 'full-size tennis court'. Combined with 19/20 listings marking the tennis-court amenity, evidence is strong this is a permanent, shared building feature. Buyers seeking tennis or pickleball amenities would consider this building suitable.
19/20 current MLS listings include TRACHU in amenities, and no remarks mention any alternative trash system such as central trash rooms only.

Amenities are repeatedly described as including 'whirlpool', 'spa', 'hot tub', or 'jacuzzi', e.g., 'heated pool, whirlpool', 'infinity-edge pool with jacuzzi', and 'pool, spa'. With 14/20 listings flagging a whirlpool amenity and strong, consistent references in remarks, this clearly indicates a shared hot-tub/whirlpool facility. Residents can expect a spa-style water feature in addition to the main pool.
Multiple listings for this building repeatedly reference a shared pool, including phrases like 'swimming pool', 'heated pool', 'heated infinity-edge pool', 'large infinity-edge swimming pool', and 'newly renovated pool'. These mentions appear across many different units and agents, confirming a common, resort-style pool amenity for the building. Historical MLS checkbox data and detailed remarks are fully aligned, so the presence of a building pool is certain.
Multiple remarks explicitly reference a 'heated infinity-edge pool', 'heated pool', 'heated saltwater Infinity pool', and a 'newly renovated, heated infinity pool'.
The on-site pool is repeatedly described as a heated saltwater infinity pool. This clearly indicates that the building uses a saltwater pool system.
Multiple listings for this building explicitly confirm in-unit laundry, mentioning a 'separate laundry room with washer/dryer,' a 'full-size washer/dryer in the unit,' and 'in-unit laundry.' Combined with current MLS data showing 20/20 listings including washer/dryer in the inclusions, the evidence is strong and consistent across different units and agents. This supports that at least some, and likely most, units in the building have in-unit laundry.
No analysis available
I looked for terms such as 'coin-op,' 'card-operated laundry,' or 'laundry fee' and found none. Since laundry is consistently described as in-unit, a paid community laundry system is unlikely.
I searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor' or 'laundry room on every floor' and found none. Multiple listings emphasize in-unit or private laundry rooms instead, so it's unlikely there are community laundry facilities on every floor.
No analysis available
Multiple current listings (at least ~8) explicitly describe assigned or deeded parking, using phrases like 'one assigned parking stall', '2 covered/assigned parking stalls', and noting deeds to specific stalls. Combined with historical MLS data where 18/20 listings flagged ASSIGN, this strongly indicates that parking in Hawaiki Tower is assigned to units. Evidence is consistent across many agents and listings, not just a single copy‑pasted remark.
Covered parking is repeatedly confirmed across many listings (10+), with language such as 'secured covered parking stalls', 'covered tandem parking stalls', 'covered parking stall in secured garage', and references to a 'secured garage' for residents. Together with 20/20 MLS records showing covered/garage parking codes, this provides very strong, building‑wide evidence that Hawaiki Tower offers covered parking.
Explicit reference to purchasing the deed to a parking stall confirms that at least some stalls are deeded. Combined with repeated mentions of assigned/owned stalls, this supports deeded parking in the building.
No analysis available
Remarks consistently describe included parking stalls with units but never mention a separate monthly parking charge. There is no explicit information on any parking fee, so the monthly parking cost remains unknown.
14/20 listings have GUEST in parking_features, and remarks mention 'Guest parking is available also', 'guest parking too', and '13 guest parking stalls are adjacent to the covered front entry'.
16/20 listings include SECENT in parking_features, and remarks reference a 'secured garage', 'gated / secured garage', and 'covered secured parking stalls'.
Confidence 90%: 2 of 18 MLS listings include TANDEM in parking_features and one remark notes '2 covered tandem parking stalls'.
No analysis available
Listings describe ample guest parking and assigned stalls but do not reference any waitlist system for parking. In the absence of any direct evidence, a building parking waitlist is considered unlikely.
No analysis available
I looked for phrases like 'key card access,' 'fob entry,' or 'card reader' and did not find any. Security is clearly present but there is no direct evidence of a card/fob access system in the remarks.
Multiple recent listings explicitly mention staffed security, including phrases like '24/7 on site security', '24-hour security staff', and 'very well-managed, 24/7 secured condominium'. Additional listings list 'security' among the amenities, and 17/20 MLS entries have the SECGUA checkbox, indicating a consistent, building-wide security guard presence across many agents and time periods.
Multiple listings describe round-the-clock on-site security staff and a 24/7 secured building. This strongly supports the presence of active security patrol or roving security services.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is strongly supported by both historical and current MLS data (ACCEN/CENAC in the vast majority of listings). Public remarks from multiple different listings explicitly note 'central A/C', 'central air conditioning', and 'central a/c', and some reference AC compressors or bedroom AC units being replaced. This consistent evidence across agents and time confirms that Hawaiki Tower has building-wide central air conditioning.

Current MLS data for 20/20 listings codes construction_materials as CONCRE, matching prior high-confidence data for this 1999 high-rise tower. No listings mention any other primary structural material, and nothing in the remarks suggests a different construction type or a subsequent rebuild. Together this strongly supports that the building is of concrete construction.

An explicit 180-day minimum rental term indicates that short-term or vacation rentals are not permitted. No remarks suggest legal STR operations, reinforcing that STR is not allowed in this building.
The building is consistently described as a residential/luxury condominium with standard resort-style amenities, not as part of a hotel. With no evidence of a hotel rental program and STR disallowed, participation in a hotel pool is effectively ruled out.
Many remarks highlight suitability as a home, second home, or investment with no obligation to join any rental program. Given the absence of a hotel pool and STR prohibition, any mandatory rental pool is effectively impossible.

All listings describe the building, location, and amenities without any reference to a land or ground lease or expiry date. This strongly suggests fee simple, but without an explicit statement, the lease expiry year remains unknown.
Multiple remarks, including an explicit VA loan assumption, confirm that VA financing is available in this building. This reinforces prior building data that VA loans are accepted.
None of the remarks state that the building is fully insured or that the HOA provides walls-in or comprehensive building insurance. Without explicit wording about full insurance coverage, we treat this as not confirmed in the remarks.
15/20 listings include FIRSPR in amenities and there are no remarks suggesting the absence of sprinklers in this 1999 high-rise.
Across all listings there are no references to a fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE, or passing any formal fire/life safety inspection. In the absence of explicit statements, we assume this certification is not documented in the remarks.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

At least 20 separate listings in this batch explicitly reference ocean or Pacific Ocean views (e.g., 'Stunning ocean and city views from every room', 'expansive views of Diamond Head and the Pacific Ocean', 'breathtaking Pacific Ocean views from every room'). These mentions span multiple stacks and floor levels, confirming that numerous units in Hawaiki Tower offer ocean-view exposure even if the MLS checkbox fields are not being used.
Remarks frequently reference 'mountain views', 'Ko'olau Mountains', 'Koolau slopes', 'mountain and ocean views', and 'sunrises' over the mountains from specific stacks.
No analysis available
At least 10 listings explicitly mention city or skyline views, including phrases like 'spectacular ocean & city views from every room', 'wide ocean, city, and Koolau views', and 'breathtaking views of the ocean, Diamond Head, city skyline, and Friday night fireworks'. These repeated, agent-authored descriptions across different units confirm that Hawaiki Tower offers units with strong city/urban views.
At least two listings describe 'sweeping 270-degree vistas from the coastline to the Ko‘olau Mountains' and 'a view of Magic Island to the coastline on Ala Moana Park'.
Listings highlight 'landscaped indoor and outdoor gardens', a 'community garden', 'garden area', and an amenity deck with green spaces, implying some units face or overlook these landscaped areas even though 'garden view' is not named explicitly.

At least 5 listings specifically reference sunrise or morning sun exposure, such as 'enjoy ... from sunrise to sunset', 'Feeling sunrise with a view of Magic Island', and 'stunning morning sunrises' from high-floor corner units. These consistent mentions across different units indicate that parts of the building have strong eastern/morning-sun orientations, so buyers seeking sunrise views would find relevant options here.
Listings note 'Enjoy the beauty and splendor of Honolulu from sunrise to sunset', 'sunsets over Diamond Head', and high-floor west-facing views over Magic Island and Ala Moana Beach Park.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly say residents can watch Friday night or Waikiki fireworks from the units. This confirms that the building offers fireworks views from at least some residences.

Multiple listings describe the building as having an on-site/resident manager, including phrases like 'on-site manager' and 'helpful professional staff, security, and Resident Manager.' In addition, 14 of 20 current MLS entries check the resident manager amenity, suggesting consistent recognition of this feature across agents. Together these sources provide strong evidence that Hawaiki Tower has an on-site resident manager.
