Imperial Plaza
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.

Searched for building-level owner-occupancy indicators (e.g., '80% owner occupied', 'high owner occupancy') and found none. Because only individual units are described as owner-occupied and no aggregate percentage is given, the owner_occupancy value remains unknown.
Remarks confirm at least two elevators serving the building (specifically the townhouse side), so 2 is recorded as the best-supported count. There may be additional elevators for other sections of the building, but no other numbers are mentioned in the remarks.
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 highlighted as a core building feature, with MLS data showing ACCEN marked on a majority (13/20) of listings. Remarks such as 'central AC included!' and comments about replacing the central A/C system support that chilled air service is provided through the building and covered by association charges rather than fully individual utility billing.
Multiple listings indicate that cable TV is handled through the association: 15/20 MLS entries have CABTV checked, and one unit details a mandatory 'Hawaiian Telcom Bulk Cable TV' line item billed with the maintenance fees. Another listing advertises 'cable tv ... included!', consistent with HOA-provided cable rather than separate owner contracts, suggesting cable service is effectively included in the monthly association charges.
A very high proportion (18/20) of listings have OTCOEX checked in association_fee_includes, consistent with common-area electricity being part of the HOA expenses. The scale of powered amenities (pools, jacuzzis, saunas, security, lighting) and mention of building solar panels strongly imply that common electric costs are paid from association funds rather than separately by individual units.

Sewer appears in association_fee_includes on 20/20 current MLS listings for this building, with no conflicting remarks. Given local norms for similar Honolulu condos and the unanimity across many separate listings, sewer charges are very likely included in the monthly maintenance fees.
Every listing (20/20) shows WATER in association_fee_includes, and remarks about a building-wide hot water system and related special assessment indicate water and hot water are centrally provided and funded via HOA fees. The consistency of MLS data plus explicit mention of a shared hot water project provide strong evidence that water is included in the maintenance fees.
Multiple agents describe the building having BBQ facilities, e.g., 'sauna, whirlpool, BBQ, recreation area', 'Amenities include 3 BBQ's and 2 Jacuzzis', and 'Building amenities include BBQ area, pool, jacuzzi'. At least 10 listings reference BBQ/BBQ areas, aligning with 20/20 MLS checks, so BBQ is a confirmed building amenity.

At least 2 listings explicitly include 'meeting room' in the amenity list, e.g., 'pool, two hot tubs, sauna, BBQ areas and meeting room' and 'utilize the meeting room and patio/deck, for both professional endeavors and social gatherings'. These repeated references confirm that the building provides a shared meeting/conference space.
Multiple listings describe substantial outdoor spaces such as '2 large lanais', 'spacious lanais', 'four large covered lanais', 'outside lanai', and 'private lanai', confirming that many units have deck/patio-type spaces. Building-level remarks repeatedly mention a 'recreation deck' with pool, hot tubs, sauna, BBQ, and one listing explicitly notes use of the 'patio/deck' for gatherings. Combined with 19/20 MLS entries checking the patio/deck amenity, the evidence strongly supports that the building offers patio/deck amenities.

At least 2 listings state 'recreation room' or 'recreational rooms' among the amenities, in addition to broader references to a 'recreation deck' or 'recreation area'. This consistent wording across different remarks supports the presence of a dedicated recreation room in the building.

More than 10 listings mention a sauna, using phrases like 'pool, jacuzzi, sauna', 'Great amenities including pool, sauna, whirlpool, BBQ', and 'Resort-like amenities on the 6th floor - sauna, pool, BBQ area and more'. The frequency and consistency across agents make the existence of a building sauna highly certain.
Multiple listings across different agents explicitly reference building storage, including “separate storage locker,” “separate storage,” “storage locker approximately 3 x 3 x 6 on the 5th floor,” and “unit include a storage locker,” confirming that lockers/closets are offered. This aligns with MLS checkbox data (storage in amenities on 12 of 20 listings and in unit features on 11 of 20), so the building is reliably understood to provide storage units/lockers for residents.
I searched for 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', or combined 'bike and surfboard storage'. Since none of the storage references specify surfboards, dedicated surfboard storage cannot be confirmed.
No analysis available
One listing’s amenity list includes 'trash chute on every floor' together with pool, whirlpool, clubhouse, BBQ, and sauna, describing building features rather than unit specifics. Coupled with most MLS entries checking this amenity, this supports the presence of a building trash chute system.

Well over 10 listings mention whirlpool-style features such as 'pool, 2 hot tubs, sauna', 'pool, jacuzzi, sauna', and 'pool, sauna, whirlpool, BBQ, recreation area'. Although one penthouse also has a private whirlpool tub, the repeated building-level references confirm a common whirlpool/jacuzzi amenity.
Multiple independent listings explicitly describe a building pool, often as part of a recreation deck or resort-style amenities, using phrases such as 'pool, two hot tubs, sauna', 'resort-style pool', and 'beautiful swimming pool, whirlpool, clubhouse'. Combined with 19 of 20 MLS records checking pool-related amenity codes, the evidence is strong and consistent across agents and time that Imperial Plaza offers a common-area swimming pool for residents. Buyers searching for a building with a pool would clearly find that this building meets that criterion.
No analysis available
I looked for 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool', 'salt pool', or 'saline pool' in the amenity descriptions. Since the pool is only described generically, there is no evidence that it is a salt water pool.
Multiple listings explicitly state in-unit laundry, including phrases like “in-unit washer/dryer,” “full-size washer and dryer (2022),” and “in-unit full-sized washer/dryer,” as well as a floor plan calling out a separate “laundry rm.” Combined with MLS data showing 19 of 20 listings including washer/dryer in the inclusions, the evidence strongly supports that many units in Imperial Plaza have in‑unit laundry. Buyers seeking buildings that offer in‑unit washer/dryers should consider this building as it clearly supports that feature in numerous units.
No analysis available
I looked for indicators such as 'coin-op', 'coin laundry', 'card-operated laundry', or 'paid community laundry'. Since all laundry references were to private in-unit washers/dryers and no payment system was described, there is no evidence that any community laundry is paid.
I searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'community laundry on every floor', or 'laundry room on each floor'. All mentions of laundry referred to in-unit washers/dryers or a private laundry room within a unit, so there is no evidence of community laundry on every floor.
No analysis available
Several listings explicitly mention assigned stalls (e.g., “assigned parking stall,” “2 assigned covered parking stalls,” “covered, assigned parking stalls”), showing that parking is reserved to specific units. Combined with 18/20 MLS records checking the ASSIGN box, this strongly supports building-wide assigned parking. Evidence comes from multiple different units and agents, not just a single repeated description.
Many listings across different years and stacks reference covered parking directly, such as “2 secured covered parking stalls,” “2 covered parking stalls,” and “1 covered pkg.” With 18/20 MLS entries also marking covered/garage parking, there is very strong, consistent evidence that Imperial Plaza offers covered parking for its residents.
Listings consistently state that specific covered parking stalls are included with the unit and conveyed in the sale, which aligns with deeded/owned parking. While the word 'deeded' is not used, repeated inclusion language supports treating parking as deeded.
No analysis available
Remarks were reviewed for references to monthly parking charges or rental costs. An explicit statement of a $25/month fee for an additional stall indicates the building offers extra parking for that monthly amount.
Multiple independent remarks explicitly advertise guest parking, using phrases like “plenty of guest parking,” “ample guest parking,” and “guest stalls at Kawaihao Street entrance.” Together with 14/20 MLS records checking the guest parking option, this shows that the building provides on-site guest/visitor parking as a standard amenity.
Several listings specifically describe the parking as secure, such as “2 secured covered parking stalls,” “3 car secure parking,” and “secured guest parking,” implying gated or controlled-entry garage access. Combined with many MLS entries checking SECENT and consistent mentions of a secured building and 24-hour security, this supports that the parking facilities have secured entry.

Text was checked for terms like 'parking waitlist,' 'waiting list for parking,' or 'join waitlist.' None appear, so a formal waitlist system is not supported by the remarks and is assumed not present.
No analysis available
I searched for terms like 'key card access', 'fob access', 'card reader', 'keycard entry', or 'electronic access system'. While security is clearly present, the access method is never specified, so card/fob security cannot be confirmed.
Multiple listings from different agents describe Imperial Plaza as having 24-hour security and security guards, including phrases like "Bldg features 24-hour security" and "security video & guard." With 18/20 current MLS entries checking the security guard amenity and consistent language about an on-site security team across numerous remarks, there is strong evidence the building provides staffed security services.
I checked for explicit indications of patrolling such as 'security patrol', 'roving security', or 'patrolled building'. Although guards and 24-hour security are noted, there is no clear evidence of an active patrol service.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is clearly present in this building. At least 6–8 listings from different agents explicitly reference “central AC,” “central air conditioning,” or a “central a/c system,” and the MLS checkboxes (ACCEN/CENAC on 15/20 listings and ACCEN on 18/20) consistently support this. Combined, this provides strong, building-wide evidence that buyers can expect central AC in Imperial Plaza units.

Nearly all current MLS listings (19/20) identify the building’s construction material as concrete, suggesting a consistent, building-wide characterization rather than agent error. In addition, penthouse descriptions specifically mention “concrete vaulted ceilings,” reinforcing that Imperial Plaza is a concrete-constructed high-rise. No remarks or data suggest any alternative primary construction type.

Remarks were examined for any indication that short-term or vacation rentals are permitted, such as nightly rental language or legal STR certificates. The absence of such language across many listings suggests short-term rentals are not allowed or not a building feature.
Searches for terms like 'hotel pool,' 'rental program managed by hotel,' or brand-managed rental operations found nothing. Combined with lack of STR marketing, this strongly indicates there is no hotel rental pool program.
Remarks were checked for phrases such as 'mandatory hotel pool,' 'required to participate,' or 'must be in rental program' and none were present. The consistent emphasis on owner use and flexibility indicates no mandatory rental pool participation.

Remarks were searched for terms such as 'lease expires,' 'land lease,' 'leasehold,' or 'ground lease ends' with an associated year. None were found, so the lease expiry year cannot be determined from the available information.
Remarks were checked for phrases like 'VA approved' or 'VA financing.' An explicit 'VA approved' statement confirms the building supports VA loans.
All provided remarks were checked for any indication of full or walls-in HOA insurance coverage and none were found. In the absence of explicit evidence, the building is assumed not to be confirmed as fully insured by the HOA.
Multiple listings explicitly reference fire sprinklers or a fire sprinkler system, such as “A fire sprinkler system has been installed for peace of mind,” “fire sprinklers and an in-unit washer/dryer,” and “10-foot high ceiling with sprinklers,” across at least 7 units. Combined with 14/20 MLS entries checking FIRSPR, this strongly supports that Imperial Plaza has a building-wide fire sprinkler system. The repetition across many units and agents suggests a real building feature, not a copy-paste error.
Searched for phrases like 'fire life safety evaluation', 'FLSE', 'passed fire inspection', or 'life safety compliant' and found none. Because only sprinklers are mentioned and not the formal evaluation, this field is set to false by default.

Multiple listings across different stacks and floor levels advertise ocean views, including phrases such as “Spectacular ocean … views from every room” and “breathtaking panoramic ocean, city and mountain views.” MLS view data (5 of 20 listings with OCEAN) along with repeated, detailed remarks from various agents confirm that at least some units in Imperial Plaza have strong ocean vistas.
Numerous unit descriptions highlight mountain scenery, including references to “mountain views,” “Koolau Mountains,” and “views of the mountains, ocean, and iconic Diamond Head.” Combined with MLS view flags, this shows that multiple units enjoy mountain vistas, so the building offers mountain-view residences.
Several independent listings, including high-floor and penthouse units, emphasize Diamond Head as a key view feature, often paired with ocean and city vistas. This repeated, specific mention in remarks across different units confirms that Imperial Plaza offers Diamond Head view units.
City and skyline views are among the most frequently cited features, with phrases like “vibrant cityscape,” “city lights at night,” and “views from every room” appearing in many ads. Together with the MLS city view entries, this shows that city views are a common and prominent feature of the building’s units.
High-floor and penthouse marketing remarks describe “stunning coastline” and “panoramic … coastline” views alongside city and mountain vistas. Even though the MLS checkbox for coastline is not commonly used, these independent, specific remarks demonstrate that Imperial Plaza offers coastline-view units.

Multiple listings mention morning or sunrise views explicitly, particularly for east-facing stacks (e.g., “enjoy the morning sunrise” and “ocean, city, and sunrise views”). This consistent language across different units supports that certain Imperial Plaza residences offer notable sunrise vistas.
Several units, including townhouse and penthouse residences, are marketed with explicit sunset and evening view language like “sunset views” and “evening sunsets and city lights.” This recurring emphasis confirms that certain sides/stacks of Imperial Plaza provide strong sunset views.
No analysis available
I checked for phrases like 'fireworks view', 'watch fireworks from your lanai', or 'see Friday night fireworks from the unit'. The remarks only describe general scenic views and never specifically mention fireworks, so a fireworks view cannot be confirmed.
No analysis available
Several listings describe a resident manager as part of the building’s amenities, with phrases like “resident manager,” “Resident manager, 24 hr security & surveillance cameras,” and similar wording in multiple units. With 17/20 MLS entries also checking RESMAN, the evidence strongly supports that Imperial Plaza has an on-site resident manager. The consistency across agents and unit types makes it very unlikely to be an MLS checkbox error.
