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.

The remarks were searched for explicit percentages such as "80% owner occupied" and descriptions such as "majority owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied." No qualifying language was found, so the owner-occupancy rate remains unknown.
The remarks were searched for phrases such as "4 elevators," "four elevators," and "multiple elevators," but none were found. Because no current elevator count is provided and the remarks contain no count, the value remains unknown.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Cable TV is included in 13/20 current MLS listings. One detailed listing explicitly confirms that "Cable TV & Internet" are included in maintenance, while the majority checkbox pattern supports this as a building-wide benefit.
Common-area electricity is listed in 10/20 current MLS records. Remarks are mixed: one says the fee covers a "portion of shared common area electric," while two state that common-area electricity is billed separately, suggesting partial or changing treatment rather than uniform inclusion.

Hot water inclusion is not supported: 0/20 listings identify HOTWAT and 16/20 identify WTRHTR. Public remarks specifically reference replaced hot water heaters, reinforcing that hot water is produced by individual units and is not included in the maintenance fee.
Internet service is included in 15/20 current MLS listings. The explicit phrase "Cable TV & Internet included in Maintenance" provides direct confirmation, while the broad MLS consistency indicates this is a building-level inclusion rather than a unit-specific service.
No analysis available
Sewer is included in 19/20 current MLS listings. No public remarks mention owners paying sewer separately or otherwise contradict the MLS data, so the evidence is uniformly strong.
Water is included in 19/20 current MLS listings. Although the public remarks do not provide a detailed explanation of water billing, the nearly uniform current MLS pattern and lack of contradictory remarks strongly support this feature.
Approximately 16 or more listings mention BBQ facilities, including 'dedicated BBQ area,' 'BBQ and gathering areas,' 'BBQ cabanas,' and 'BBQ grills.' Evidence is exceptionally strong across the listing set and confirms a shared building amenity.
No analysis available
No analysis available
One listing specifically identifies a 'car wash area,' while four additional current MLS records carry the car-wash amenity code. The feature is less frequently mentioned than the major amenities but is sufficiently supported as a building facility.

Approximately 15 listings mention an exercise facility using phrases such as 'fitness center,' 'fitness room,' 'exercise room,' or 'gym.' The feature is strongly corroborated across numerous listings and agents, although some wording may be repeated marketing copy.
No analysis available
The listing remarks provide no direct evidence of a meeting or conference room. The limited 3/20 MLS checkbox prevalence, absent corroborating descriptions, and likely copy-paste nature of amenity selections make this feature unsupported.
At least 8 current remarks mention outdoor spaces, including “covered lanai,” “private lanai,” “spacious lanai,” “116 sq. ft. lanai,” “very large wrap around lanai,” and an “amenity deck.” These references occur across multiple distinct listings and confirm that the building offers patio/deck or lanai spaces, with some units having private or oversized versions.

At least 6 listings explicitly mention recreation space, including 'BBQ and recreation areas,' 'recreation area,' 'rec area,' and 'Recreation Deck.' Combined with the 15/20 MLS presence and high historical confidence, the building clearly offers shared recreation space.
No listing clearly states 'recreation room,' 'rec room,' or 'game room.' The two MLS RECROO entries and references to a recreation deck or shared amenity spaces provide limited support, so this feature is retained with moderate confidence rather than treated as definitively documented.

Dedicated surfboard storage is directly identified in more than one public remark, including the listing describing "bike/surfboard storage" among the building amenities. This is strong repeated evidence that the facility exists.
No analysis available
No current public remark explicitly mentions a 'trash chute' or 'garbage chute.' Nevertheless, 19/20 MLS records include the amenity and the historical assessment is high; the omission is not strong negative evidence for a rarely advertised building system.

Numerous listings confirm the feature with phrases such as 'relaxing spa,' 'whirlpool spa,' 'pool and spa,' 'Jacuzzi,' and 'heated pool, whirlpool.' The repeated references across agents and strong MLS support establish a shared whirlpool/spa amenity.
The pool is strongly validated across the listings and is not merely a copied checkbox: approximately 20 listings explicitly mention a pool or related feature, often alongside detailed amenities such as a heated pool, lap pool, spa, pool deck, or resort-style facilities. This aligns with the current MLS data showing pool-related amenities in 20/20 listings and the prior high-confidence conclusion.
Multiple listings (at least 6 of 20) and several remarks explicitly reference heating: phrases include "heated pool", "large heated pool", and "heated lap-pool." The heated designation appears in multiple agents' remarks and in MLS HEAPOO checkboxes, supporting inclusion of a heated pool as a building amenity.
Multiple remarks confirm that the building has a pool, including a heated lap pool. No public remark identifies it as a saltwater or saline pool.
In-unit laundry is strongly supported across the building: 20 of 20 current listings include WASHER/DRYER in MLS inclusions, and at least 8 remarks explicitly mention in-unit or unit-specific washer/dryer equipment. Although some remarks are repeated or may be copied, the feature is also confirmed using varied phrases such as "separate walk-in laundry room," "side by side laundry," and "Stack Washer & Dryer," making the evidence strong across multiple listings.
No analysis available
The listings describe in-unit washers and dryers rather than shared laundry facilities. Nothing indicates that community laundry exists or requires payment.
The remarks repeatedly mention in-unit washers and dryers, including a separate laundry room or side-by-side laundry within units. No public remark describes community laundry facilities on every floor.
All 20 MLS records include parking features and numerous public remarks repeatedly state unit-level parking (e.g., "2 parking spaces", "Two parking stalls", "2 covered parking stall unit"). Evidence is consistent across many agent remarks and MLS checkbox data, indicating building parking is available.
Assigned parking is strongly supported by current MLS data in 16 of 20 listings and by numerous independent remarks describing unit-specific stalls. Key language includes “2 side by side parking stalls,” “2 individual parking stalls,” and “two assigned-tandem stalls,” indicating this is a building-level offering rather than an isolated or copied checkbox.
At least 6 current remarks explicitly mention covered or enclosed parking, including "covered end parking stalls," "2 covered parking stalls," "protected parking garage," and "enclosed garage." This aligns with the overwhelming MLS evidence, where 19 of 20 listings use covered/garage parking codes, indicating strong, multi-listing support rather than an isolated copy-paste entry.
The listings establish that many units have assigned parking, but assigned or covered parking does not by itself prove deeded ownership. No qualifying phrase such as "deeded parking" or "parking included in deed" was found.
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for parking fees, monthly parking charges, and additional parking costs. Although a roughly $200 monthly common-area electricity charge is mentioned, it is not identified as a parking fee, so the parking fee is unknown.
At least 17 of 20 listings identify guest parking, while multiple independent remarks describe “abundant,” “ample,” or “lots of guest parking stalls.” One listing specifically states that 23 guest stalls are available, providing especially strong support that this is a shared building amenity.
At least 13 of 20 listings identify secured entry or secured parking, with several remarks explicitly using phrases such as “secured garage,” “protected parking garage,” and “secured building and parking.” Although not every listing mentions the feature, the repeated detailed references across multiple listings strongly confirm secured parking/entry.
4 of 20 MLS records list tandem and remarks include explicit phrases like "two assigned-tandem stalls for the unit," but other listings state "side-by-side" or "non-tandem," so tandem parking exists for some units (not all), supported by multiple agent remarks.
No analysis available
The listings discuss assigned resident stalls, multiple parking spaces, and guest parking availability. They do not describe a parking waitlist system, so there is no public-remarks evidence that one exists.
No analysis available
The remarks support general building security, secured parking, security personnel, and patrol service. They do not identify a card- or fob-based access system.
Security guard/service is strongly supported across the building: at least 12 listings explicitly mention 24-hour or 24 hr security, and several provide stronger detail such as "on-site security guard," a "professional and friendly security team," and "security on patrol." The evidence appears across multiple distinct remarks and aligns with the 17/20 MLS amenity selections, rather than being unsupported checkbox copy-paste.
The remarks directly confirm patrol service with the phrase "security on patrol." Other listings also repeatedly mention 24-hour security and security personnel, reinforcing the conclusion.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is consistently supported across the building, with at least 6 current remarks explicitly mentioning “central AC,” “Central A/C,” or recent AC replacement/installation. The evidence appears across multiple listings and agents, including detailed references to a new central AC system and a 2022 AC and thermostat installation, while MLS fields show ACCEN/CENAC in 14/20 listings and ACCEN in 18/20.
3 of 20 current MLS listings list ACSPL in inclusions, suggesting some units may have split/ductless AC. However, none of the public remarks mention 'split', 'mini-split', or 'ductless', while many ads state 'central A/C' or 'central AC'; evidence is limited to a few MLS checkbox entries across different listings and appears uncertain, so further owner/manager verification is recommended.
No analysis available
Concrete construction is supported by 17 of 20 current listings through the CONCRE construction-materials field. No public remarks explicitly quote “concrete construction,” so the evidence relies primarily on consistent MLS data across many listings rather than repeated agent remarks.
None of the provided remarks mention 'double wall,' 'double-wall construction,' or two-wall construction. The DOUWAL code appears in only 4 of 20 listings, which is too sparse and inconsistent to validate the feature.
No analysis available
5 of 20 current MLS listings include the MASSTU construction code, but zero public remarks reference 'masonry' or 'stucco'. The evidence is weak and inconsistent across listings; include the feature with low confidence because some listings indicate it in MLS checkboxes despite no supporting language in agent remarks.
Zero of the provided public remarks mention “steel frame” or “steel frame construction.” The STEFRA field appears in only 5 of 20 listings, with no supporting detail from multiple agents, so the low-confidence feature is omitted as likely unverified MLS data.
Only 2 of 20 MLS listings list a concrete slab (SLAB) and public remarks make no reference to a "concrete slab" or similar foundation. The very low occurrence and lack of textual confirmation indicate slab foundation is not reliably supported by available remarks.

No provided listing describes the building as above-ground or discusses above-ground construction materials. ABOGRO appears in just 1 of 20 listings, with no corroborating remarks, so the feature is not supported.

The remarks were searched for short-term-rental permissions and related terms, as well as restrictions such as a 30-day minimum or owner-occupant-only use. None were found; under the no-evidence rule, STR is treated as false with medium-low confidence.
The listings contain no evidence of participation in a hotel rental pool or hotel-operated rental program. Because short-term rental permission is not established, the prerequisite for this feature is not met.
The remarks do not mention required participation in a hotel or rental pool. Since STR permission is not established, mandatory pool participation must also be false.

No analysis available
The remarks were searched for leasehold terminology, ground-lease references, expiration years, and renewal statements. No specific lease-expiry year was provided, so the value remains unknown.
Multiple listings confirm that VA financing is available to qualified buyers in the building through assumable VA loans. This is strong, repeated public-remarks evidence that the building supports VA financing.
Full HOA building insurance is directly confirmed in a public remark. This explicit statement strongly supports that the building is fully insured, including walls-in coverage, with very high confidence.
At least 2 listings explicitly mention the feature, using the phrases "fire sprinklers" and "property with sprinklers." Combined with FIRSPR appearing in 12/20 current listings and strong historical confidence, the evidence supports that the building has fire sprinklers.
The remarks were searched for FLSE passage, fire/life safety evaluation, fire safety certification, life-safety compliance, and passed fire inspection. No such statement was found; references to fire sprinklers do not establish that an FLSE was passed.
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 consistently documented across multiple listings from different agents. Key phrases include "expansive ocean... views," "sweeping ocean, city, and mountain views," "breathtaking ocean views," and "ocean harbor and city views," indicating the building offers ocean-view units.
Mountain views are strongly supported across many listings and agents. Remarks repeatedly mention "mountain views," "partial mountain," "sweeping ocean to mountain views," and "panoramic Mauka to Makai views," confirming this is a building-level offering.
No analysis available
City views are explicitly mentioned in at least 18 of 20 listings, with multiple agents describing "city views," "skyline views," "city lights," and panoramic Honolulu views. The evidence is strong and consistent across numerous listings rather than relying solely on copied MLS checkbox data.
Although the MLS coastline checkbox is uncommon, many current remarks explicitly mention ocean or harbor views, including "breathtaking ocean, city and mountain views" and "panoramic ocean, harbor, mountain, and city views." The repeated descriptions across numerous units and multiple listing narratives indicate the building offers coastline-related view units, despite limited standardized MLS coding.

Sunset views are less common than ocean, mountain, or city views but are explicitly documented in multiple listings. The remarks reference "sunset moments," "stunning" sunsets, and direct sunset exposure, supporting inclusion for buyers seeking units with this view.
No listings (CURRENT MLS: 0/20) or public remarks mention cemetery or overlooks cemetery; phrases like "cemetery view" do not appear. Given the complete lack of references across multiple listings, there is high confidence the building does not offer cemetery views.
The remarks mention ocean, harbor, mountain, city, skyline, sunset, and other views from units and lanais. They do not specifically state that fireworks can be viewed from the building or its units.
No analysis available
At least 2 listings explicitly mention on-site management, including "dedicated on-site manager" and "resident manager." The feature is strongly supported across current MLS data, with RESMAN checked in 19/20 listings, in addition to the prior high-confidence evidence.
