Lanikea at Waikiki

Both MLS data (20/20 listings) and multiple remarks ('Luxury & comfortable condo built in 2005', 'Constructed in 2005', 'Built in 2005') consistently indicate the building was completed in 2005. There are no conflicting dates mentioned, giving very high confidence in 2005 as the construction year.

MLS property data for this building shows unit floors as high as 31 (with numerous high-floor and penthouse listings), and no remarks indicate floors above that level. Although one remark mentions 'only 4 residences/floor' without a total floor count, the highest observed floor number strongly suggests a 31-story building. Taken together, the evidence supports 31 floors with good confidence.

A listing description notes that there are 'only 4 residences/floor and 100 in the entire building,' providing a clear total unit count. No other remarks contradict this figure, so 100 units is adopted as the building total.

I looked for statements such as 'X% owner occupied', 'mostly owner occupants', or 'high owner-occupancy' but none were present. With no new data in the remarks contradicting it, the prior owner-occupancy value of 63% is kept, though it cannot be reconfirmed from these listings.

Listings confirm the presence of elevators but never specify how many there are. With no explicit elevator count in the remarks, the prior value of 2 elevators is kept, though a 31-story tower might typically have more, which is noted but not enough to change the number.

Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.

Remarks repeatedly note that units feature central AC but never state that air conditioning costs are included in the maintenance fee. With just 4 of 20 MLS entries checking this box and no narrative support, AC is almost certainly not an HOA‑included utility.

Most recent listings (16 of 20) explicitly check cable TV as included in the association fee. No remarks suggest separate cable billing, so it is very likely that basic cable service is included in the maintenance fees building‑wide.

This is a full‑service 2005 high‑rise with elevators, lobby, pool, spa, BBQ areas, and landscaped grounds, all of which require shared power. With half of the listings explicitly marking other common expenses, common area electricity is effectively included in the HOA dues.

All remarks describe Lanikea at Waikiki as a condominium built in 2005, and there is no mention of any co‑op structure or co‑op tax. With no MLS indication of COOTAX, cooperative taxes are not part of the maintenance fees.

Across all provided remarks, utilities included are never highlighted as a selling point, and electric service is not checked as included in any recent MLS data. This strongly indicates that individual units are billed for their own electricity outside the HOA dues.

There is no mention of gas appliances, gas lines, or gas utilities in either remarks or MLS fee‑includes fields. Given that no listing flags gas as included, gas is almost certainly not an HOA‑covered utility here.

Most listings note water heaters as unit inclusions, implying each condo generates its own hot water. With only 2 inconsistent MLS entries marking hot water as included and no remarks supporting building‑supplied hot water, the maintenance fee does not include hot water.

Half of the recent listings explicitly mark internet service as included in the association fee. Although remarks don’t spell it out, this consistent MLS coding strongly indicates that building‑wide internet is bundled in the maintenance fees.

Lanikea at Waikiki is presented purely as a luxury residential tower in central Waikiki, not a waterfront marina property. With no MLS or narrative reference to a marina, marina fees or access are not part of the HOA dues.

Nearly all listings explicitly include sewer in the association fee line items. This, combined with standard Honolulu condo practice, makes it effectively certain that sewer charges are bundled into the maintenance fee.

Every recent MLS entry for this building lists water as included in the association fee. Water is clearly a building‑level utility covered by the HOA dues.

Multiple agents describe 'BBQ area', 'beautiful BBQ park', 'gas BBQs and spacious picnic area', and 'resort style BBQ Area'. This, together with universal MLS checkbox use, confirms shared BBQ facilities at the building.

No listings (0/20) mark bike storage in the MLS amenities, and none of the many detailed remarks mention a bike room, bicycle storage, or bike racks, despite extensively listing other amenities like pool, jacuzzi, BBQ, EV charging, car wash, dog area, guest parking, and storage lockers. This consistent omission across agents and listings indicates that Lanikea at Waikiki does not provide dedicated bicycle storage as a building amenity.

Units are promoted for proximity to Waikiki Beach, Fort DeRussy Park, and urban amenities rather than boat mooring or marina facilities. The total lack of mention of docks or slips strongly supports that there is no boat dock associated with the building.

An agent notes that the 'fully gated compound features... EV charging, car wash space, and a dog area,' indicating a designated vehicle wash facility on site. Combined with several MLS car wash checkbox selections, this supports a shared car wash amenity.

While the building has a lobby and landscaped resort-style grounds, agents do not describe any dedicated clubhouse or community center. The consistent omission in detailed amenity lists and 0/20 MLS entries indicates there is no clubhouse facility.

While one listing mentions a 'welcoming lobby with friendly staff', none explicitly describe concierge or front-desk services, and this is not supported in any MLS amenity data. The overall evidence points to security staff but not a dedicated concierge service.

One detailed description states the property has 'a dog area' in addition to pool, spa, BBQ park, guest parking, EV charging, and car wash space. Together with select MLS entries for a dog park and repeated 'pet friendly' marketing, this supports the presence of a dedicated pet/dog area on site.

Listings consistently highlight 24-hour security but never mention a doorman or lobby attendant, which agents typically promote when present. Given the complete absence of such references and MLS omitting the doorman amenity, a staffed doorman service is very unlikely.

Across all remarks, amenities are consistently described as pool, spa/jacuzzi, BBQ areas, landscaped grounds, EV charging, dog area, and car wash, with no reference to any fitness or exercise facility. Combined with 0/20 MLS checkbox entries, this strongly indicates there is no building exercise room.

Although positioned as a luxury boutique building, marketing focuses on physical amenities (pool, spa, BBQ, security, parking) and location, not services like limousine or house car service. The complete lack of references makes it very likely no limo or courtesy car service is provided.

Descriptions focus on residential features and outdoor amenities, without any reference to community or board rooms. The absence in both MLS and remarks strongly suggests the building does not offer a shared meeting room.

At least 15 of 20 listings reference lanais or similar outdoor spaces, including phrases like “large lanai,” “93 sq.ft. lanai,” “covered lanai,” and “sheltered lanai.” Several also describe outdoor BBQ/picnic areas and landscaped grounds, indicating the building offers patio/deck-style amenities across multiple units. The consistency across many agents and units shows this is a real, building-wide feature.

Agents market walkability to nearby Waikiki attractions and outdoor spaces but do not describe any dedicated jogging or walking paths within the project itself. With 0/20 MLS entries and no textual indication, the building appears not to offer an internal jogging path.

Outdoor features are consistently described as pool, spa/jacuzzi, BBQ areas, lawns, and landscaped gardens, without any reference to play structures or children's playgrounds. This sustained omission across many listings suggests there is no playground amenity.

Across 20 listings, outdoors are described only as shared amenities—“lawn,” “green lush lawn,” “BBQ park,” and landscaped grounds—with no reference to private or fenced yards for specific units. Given the high-rise configuration and the absence of any “private yard” language, the building very likely does not offer private yard spaces. The single MLS PRIYAR flag is inconsistent with the remarks and is treated as a mistake.

Although some units have views toward the Ala Wai Golf Course, no listing claims an on-site putting green or golf facility. The total absence in both checkbox data and narrative remarks makes it very likely that the building does not have a putting green.

The building is consistently marketed as having a 'resort style BBQ Area, heated pool, Jacuzzi', 'beautiful BBQ park', 'spacious picnic area', and 'tropical-landscaped gardens' surrounding the pool. These descriptions clearly indicate a shared outdoor recreation/amenity deck area in addition to the pool itself.

Agents highlight lobby, pool/spa, BBQ areas, lawns, and parking/storage, but never mention an interior recreation or game room. With 0/20 MLS checkboxes, this strongly suggests there is no shared recreation room.

Multiple remarks highlight that the building is 'close to shops, restaurants, activities' and 'near-endless options for dining' in the surrounding area, but none state an in-building restaurant or café. This pattern strongly indicates there is no restaurant within the condominium complex.

Agents emphasize views from private lanais but attribute amenities to the 'resort-like pool and spa, BBQ, and lawn' at ground level. With 0/20 rooftop amenity checkboxes and no textual references, the building appears not to have shared rooftop amenities.

While listings emphasize a jacuzzi/whirlpool and resort-style pool, none add a sauna or steam room to the list of amenities. This consistent omission in detailed amenity descriptions indicates the building does not have a sauna.

Multiple listings describe dedicated storage associated with this building, such as '2 covered standard parking stalls and storage in the secured garage', '2 standard parkings with storage for luggage and files', 'This 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit comes with 2 parking stalls and a large storage unit', and 'Storage lockers above the side-by-side parking stalls'. Combined with 13/20 MLS records checking storage/extra storage in amenities, this strongly indicates that Lanikea at Waikiki provides storage units/lockers in the secured garage for at least some units.

The remarks reference storage units, storage lockers, and storage in the secured garage, but never specify surfboard or board storage. I searched for terms like 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', and 'bike and surfboard storage' and found no direct evidence, so this feature is assumed not present.

Amenities are repeatedly outlined (pool, spa/jacuzzi, BBQ areas, lawns, dog area, car wash, EV charging), but tennis courts are never mentioned. Given the complete absence in both MLS checkboxes and remarks, the building very likely has no tennis court.

Although public remarks focus on more marketable amenities, all agents uniformly check the trash chute amenity in the MLS. Given the building's age, design, and unanimous checkbox usage, a common trash chute system is very likely present.

Listings repeatedly highlight “2 covered parking stalls,” “secured garage,” “guest parking,” and EV charging, but never refer to valet service. The combination of self-parking descriptions and the complete absence of valet terminology makes it very likely that valet is not offered in this building.

One listing calls the property a 'fully gated compound' with 'gated guest parking', and another notes 'gated entry to the building and parking', indicating a controlled, fenced/gated perimeter. MLS amenities partially reflect this, supporting that the property is enclosed by gates or walls.

Agents repeatedly describe 'heisted pool and jacuzzi', 'heated pool, whirlpool and BBQ area', and 'resort-like pool and spa, BBQ, and lawn.' These consistent references across many independent listings confirm a shared whirlpool/hot tub amenity.

Multiple listings for Lanikea at Waikiki describe on-site resort-style amenities with a shared swimming pool, spa/jacuzzi, and BBQ areas (e.g., 'features a pool and spa', 'extra-large swimming pool area'). MLS data shows 20/20 listings with pool-related amenities checked, and no remarks suggest the pool has been removed or is unit-exclusive. Evidence is strong and consistent across many different listings and agents.

Several independent remarks clearly state the building has a heated pool, including phrases like 'resort like heated pool and jacuzzi', 'Amenities include heated pool, whirlpool and BBQ area', and 'Surrounded by lush garden and large heated pool'. MLS amenities also show a heated-pool code on 7 of 20 listings, aligning with these descriptions. This repeated, explicit language provides strong evidence that the building’s common pool is heated.

I searched all remarks for terms like 'salt water pool', 'saltwater', 'saline', or 'salt pool' and found no mentions. Given that the pool is repeatedly described without reference to salt water, it's likely a standard (non-saltwater) pool, but this is not definitively confirmed.

Multiple listings explicitly describe in-unit laundry, including phrases like 'full-size stackable washer and dryer' and 'washer/dryer' within the unit. Current MLS data further shows 20/20 listings including washer/dryer in the inclusions, indicating that in-unit laundry is a standard feature in this building. Buyers seeking condos with their own laundry facilities should consider this building as offering that amenity.

Across all provided listings, there are no mentions of a shared laundry room, coin laundry, or community laundry facilities. Instead, the focus is on in-unit washer/dryer, and MLS amenities data shows 0/20 listings with community laundry checked, so this building should not be represented as having community laundry.

Searched for terms such as "coin laundry," "coin-op," "card-operated laundry," "laundry fee," or similar and none were present. Listings instead focus on in-unit laundry, with no suggestion of a paid communal laundry facility. Due to this lack of evidence, this feature is set to false with medium confidence.

Searched remarks for phrases like "laundry on each floor," "laundry room on every floor," or any shared laundry references and found none. Multiple listings highlight in-unit laundry, which makes separate community laundry on every floor unlikely. Based on this absence and the emphasis on in-unit washers/dryers, this feature is set to false with medium confidence.

Every listing in the current MLS set indicates parking, and multiple remarks reference '2 parking stalls' or 'two parking spaces' per unit. This is consistent across different stacks and penthouses, confirming that the building provides on-site parking for residents.

Several listings explicitly refer to assigned stalls, including phrases like '2 assigned covered parking spaces' and identified stall numbers. Combined with 16/20 MLS entries marking ASSIGN, this strongly indicates that resident parking is assigned/deeded rather than unallocated.

Multiple agents describe the stalls as 'covered' and located in a 'secured garage'. With all MLS records indicating covered or garage parking, the building clearly offers covered parking for residents.

Remarks consistently mention that units come with specific parking stalls, but never describe the stalls as deeded or owned as part of the unit. Searched for phrases like 'deeded parking,' 'owned stall,' and similar wording and found no explicit evidence, so deeded parking is assumed not to be a defined feature in remarks.

One listing notes a 'fully gated compound' that includes 'EV charging, car wash space', and another says 'With EV charging station'. These explicit, detailed remarks by different agents provide strong evidence that the building has EV charging despite the unchecked MLS box.

Listings repeatedly state that parking stalls are included with the units, but there is no discussion of separate monthly parking charges. Searched for terms such as 'parking fee,' 'monthly parking,' 'rental parking,' and found no information, so the monthly parking fee status is unknown.

Several listings emphasize guest parking, including 'easy access gated guest parking', '12 guest parking spaces', and 'rare, plentiful guest parking'. The high MLS frequency plus consistent remarks across agents confirm that on-site guest parking is a key building feature.

Listings describe a 'secured garage', 'fully gated compound', and 'gated entry to the building and parking', along with 'secured guest parking'. This shows that access to the parking areas is controlled by gates or similar security measures.

Where configuration is mentioned, agents describe 'standard' and 'side-by-side' parking stalls, which contrasts with tandem layouts. With zero MLS tandem flags and no remarks suggesting tandem, it is very likely the building does not offer tandem parking stalls.

Amenities are consistently described as self-park with assigned and guest stalls, not valet service. The complete absence of any 'valet' or 'attended parking' language in remarks or MLS fields indicates the building does not provide valet parking.

Across all provided listings, parking is described as included with the units and guest parking is mentioned, but no waitlist system is described. Searched for 'parking waitlist,' 'waiting list for parking,' and similar phrases and found no evidence that a waitlist is used.

A remark notes that there are 'floor-specific elevator FOBs', which is explicit evidence of keyed/fob elevator security. Even though MLS ELEVAT is 0/20, the specific description of floor-restricted elevator access is strong proof this feature exists.

Remarks describe floor-specific elevator FOBs, which is a form of card/fob access security. This is direct evidence that the building uses an electronic access system for at least the elevators, and likely for general building entry as well.

Multiple independent remarks describe '24-hour security', 'round the clock security', and '24-7 security with gated entry to the building and parking'. Combined with 17/20 MLS entries marking security guard, this strongly supports that the building has on-site security guard service.

Listings confirm continuous security presence but never mention a patrol or roving service. In the absence of specific language about patrolled security, it's more likely that there is staffed or monitored security rather than a formal patrol service.

Across all provided remarks, there are no references to security cameras or video surveillance, even though security is otherwise heavily marketed. With MLS also consistently omitting SECSYS, it is very likely the building does not have a distinct video security system as a marketed amenity.

Multiple listings explicitly mention 'central AC' in the remarks, and most MLS checkbox data also flags central air, indicating a building-wide system. At least four different units advertised central AC by name, suggesting this is a standard building feature rather than a one-off owner upgrade. The combination of consistent remarks and widespread MLS tagging provides strong evidence that central air conditioning is offered throughout the building.

Across all the remarks, there are no references to split, mini-split, or ductless AC, while central AC is repeatedly highlighted instead. MLS data also shows 0/20 listings checking the split AC inclusion code, suggesting agents do not recognize split systems as a feature here. This consistent absence strongly indicates that split AC systems are not present in this building’s units.

Listings emphasize central AC and never mention window or wall-mounted AC units, even in detailed renovation and feature descriptions. MLS checkbox data likewise shows no window AC inclusions across 20 listings. This consistent lack of any reference supports the conclusion that window AC units are not a feature of this building.

Every recent listing marks the building as concrete construction (20/20 MLS records), with no remarks suggesting any alternative primary structure. Descriptions as a 2005 luxury high-rise condominium are consistent with reinforced concrete construction, so this is very likely accurate rather than a copy-paste error.

A minority of listings mark double wall, but most do not, and remarks consistently portray a concrete luxury tower rather than a wood-framed double-wall structure. The scattered selections are likely agent inconsistency or copy-paste, so double-wall construction is unlikely to be a defining building characteristic.

Hollow tile construction is never mentioned, and no listing checks the hollow tile box in MLS. For a 2005 luxury high-rise, hollow tile as a primary construction type is improbable.

Most listings (12 of 20) mark masonry/stucco construction, indicating this is the commonly understood exterior system for the building. Descriptions of the architecture and lushly landscaped resort-style grounds are consistent with a stucco-clad masonry high-rise rather than another exterior type.

A substantial minority of listings (8 out of 20) mark steel frame construction, consistent with typical high-rise structural systems combining concrete and steel. While some agents may omit this checkbox, the repeated selection across multiple listings indicates it likely has a steel frame component.

A small number of listings flag slab construction, and nothing in the remarks contradicts a slab foundation. Considering standard practice for high-rise towers of this era, it is reasonably likely the building is constructed on a concrete slab foundation despite under-reporting in MLS checkboxes.

No analysis available

No listing indicates wood frame construction in the MLS data, and remarks consistently describe a modern high-rise concrete-style luxury building. Given the building type and age, wood frame construction can be confidently ruled out.

Very few agents mark the above-ground construction box, and there are no textual references to a raised or post-and-pier style structure. Given the building’s concrete high-rise form, the rare ABOGRO selections are likely checkbox noise rather than a meaningful construction descriptor.

No MLS record indicates brick construction and there are no references to brick in the public remarks. The building is described instead as a tropical/Hawaiian-themed luxury tower, making brick construction very unlikely.

No listings mark or mention single wall construction, and the building’s age and type make this construction method effectively impossible here. This feature can be confidently excluded for this property.

Remarks mention that the building 'allows 30 days rental', which by local standards means rentals must be at least 30 days. This excludes transient/vacation-style short-term rentals, so STR is not allowed. No listings reference NUCs, TVUs, or legal vacation rental use.

Because the building does not allow short-term rentals, it cannot participate in a hotel rental pool program. Listings only describe residential use and amenities, with no references to hotel operations, hotel branding, or a rental pool.

With no STR use and no hotel pool program indicated, a mandatory hotel rental pool is not possible. Listings emphasize owner/occupant lifestyle and amenities, with no language about required participation in any rental program.

Across all supplied public remarks, there are no mentions of 'fee simple' ownership or equivalent phrases, and the land_tenure summary does not show any FS flags. Because of this lack of evidence, the existence of fee simple units in this building cannot be confirmed and is treated as not established.

None of the listing remarks refer to 'leasehold', land leases, lease rent, or lease expiry dates, and the land_tenure summary does not show any LH entries. In the absence of any explicit leasehold evidence, the presence of leasehold units in this building remains unconfirmed.

Searched for phrases like 'lease expires', 'leasehold', 'land lease to', and specific years tied to lease terms, but found none. Without any explicit leasehold or expiry information, the lease expiration year is unknown.

Searched all remarks for terms like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', and 'VA loans accepted' and found none. Given multiple detailed listings, this absence suggests the building is not marketed as VA approved.

I checked all remarks for any indication of full or walls-in HOA insurance coverage and found no such references. Due to this lack of evidence, the building is assumed not confirmed as fully insured by HOA for this field.

A remark clearly notes a 'Worry Free Fire Sprinkler System Installed throughout Building,' which directly confirms sprinklers as a building feature. This is reinforced by 6 of 20 listings checking FIRSPR in the amenities, with no remarks suggesting otherwise.

I searched for phrases like 'fire life safety evaluation', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', or 'passed fire inspection' and found none. While one listing notes a 'Worry Free Fire Sprinkler System Installed throughout Building,' this does not explicitly confirm an FLSE pass, so this field is set to false by default.

Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Many units in Lanikea at Waikiki advertise ocean views, with remarks such as 'sweeping ocean and city views from every room,' 'gorgeous ocean view over the Fort DeRussy Park,' and 'wraparound views... to the ocean.' Combined with 12 of 20 MLS listings checking OCEAN, this strongly indicates that ocean-view units are a common feature in the building. Buyers seeking ocean views should consider this building.

Several listings highlight mountain aspects such as 'Beautiful views of ocean and mountain,' 'green Ko`olau Mountains,' and 'rainbows in Manoa Valley.' With 8 of 20 MLS records checking MOUNTAIN, the building clearly offers units with mountain views.

Although the public remarks rarely spell out 'Diamond Head view,' multiple MLS entries explicitly mark Diamond Head as a view. The reference to units on the 'Diamond Head(East) side' further supports that some stacks enjoy Diamond Head views, making this a reasonable building-level feature.

City and city-lights views are frequently promoted, including phrases like 'city lights' and '3 sides views of city.' With over half of MLS entries checking CITY, city views are a prominent and reliable feature for this building.

High-floor corner units are described as having 'unobstructed ocean/coastline' views, indicating a clear view of the shoreline, not just open water. Together with multiple MLS agents selecting COASTLINE, this confirms that coastline views are available in the building.

Several descriptions emphasize greenery and landscaped vistas, including views over Ft. DeRussy’s park-like grounds and the building’s own lush gardens. Even though only one MLS record checks GARDEN, the narrative evidence shows that garden/park-style views are a real feature for certain units.

At least one unit clearly overlooks the Ala Wai Golf Course, and multiple MLS entries corroborate golf course views. This indicates that golf course views are available from some units in the building.

Direct 'marina' or 'harbor' views are not emphasized in the narrative remarks, but several MLS agents have selected the marina/canal view option. Given the location near the Ala Wai Canal and repeated MLS coding, it is likely that some units enjoy canal or related marina views.

While fewer agents note sunrise specifically, there is clear mention of 'morning sunlight' plus valley/rainbow views from some stacks, consistent with an east-facing orientation. Combined with several MLS entries checking SUNRISE, some units likely offer sunrise or strong morning-sun views.

Sunset views are a recurring selling point, often paired with ocean and park vistas as well as Friday night fireworks. With several independent remarks and 5 MLS records marking SUNSET, sunset-facing units are clearly part of the building’s appeal.

All marketing materials focus on ocean, park, city, mountain, and golf course views, with no indication of a cemetery nearby or in the sightline. Given the consistent absence of cemetery references and MLS checks, it is highly unlikely that any units have cemetery views.

Multiple remarks describe views, and one explicitly includes 'beautiful sunset & fireworks by Hilton Hotel every Friday night' as part of the unit's view description. This strongly indicates that Friday night fireworks are visible from the building's units.

No analysis available

At least 4 of 20 listings clearly describe the building as pet friendly and one specifies it allows “2 Cats / Dogs or Other Household Pets,” with another noting a “dog area” on the grounds. The consistent, explicit pet-friendly language from different agents confirms that pets (cats and dogs) are allowed in this building.

Most listings (13 out of 20) indicate RESMAN in the amenities, and several remarks reference '24-hour security', 'round the clock security', and a staffed, welcoming lobby. While no remark uses the exact phrase 'resident manager', the consistent MLS flagging and descriptions strongly support the presence of an on-site manager.

The building is consistently marketed as a residential luxury condo, not as a hotel or condo-hotel, and the only rental-related reference is to a 30-day minimum. With no mention of hotel operations, rental pools, or front-desk management in any of the 20 listings, it is very unlikely that this is a condotel property.

All 20 listings describe Lanikea at Waikiki as a condominium, and none use “co-op,” “cooperative,” or share-based ownership language. Combined with the absence of any COOTAX flags in MLS data, this supports that the building is not a cooperative.
