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.

I searched for explicit owner-occupancy statements such as a percentage, "majority owner occupied," or "highly owner occupied," but found none. The remarks reference individual owners and rentals only in isolated unit descriptions, not building-wide occupancy composition. Because there is no usable evidence, the value remains unknown.
I looked for an explicit count such as "2 elevators" or "multiple elevators" and found none. The remarks only confirm that the building has elevator service, so the current value of 1 is retained. No evidence in the remarks suggests a different number.

Across many listings for this building, agents describe maintenance fees covering items like water, sewer, and common area services, but never mention cable TV being included. With only 1/20 MLS records checking the cable box and zero textual confirmation, cable TV is very likely not part of the association fee.
Strong building-level evidence supports common area electricity/services being included in the maintenance fee. Current MLS data shows OTCOEX in 17 of 20 listings, suggesting this is a building-wide fee item rather than a one-off agent entry. Remarks do not explicitly say "common area electricity," but they consistently describe shared building amenities and services, which aligns with the MLS inclusion.

Hot water does not appear to be included in the maintenance fee. Across the listings, only 2/20 currently show HOTWAT, while 9/20 mention WTRHTR or tankless/on-demand water heaters, with remarks like "on-demand hot water heater" and "tankless water heater" repeatedly appearing. The consistency of individual water-heater language strongly suggests the building does not provide included hot water.
Internet inclusion is only moderately supported by the MLS checkbox data, with 7/20 listings indicating it. None of the remarks explicitly say internet or Wi‑Fi is included, so this looks more like sparse MLS coding than clearly repeated agent confirmation.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is effectively confirmed across the building. Current MLS data shows SEWER in 19 of 20 listings, and the remarks directly support it with an explicit phrase: "The monthly maintenance fee covers water, sewer, and common area services." The consistency across listings indicates this is not a copy-paste error.
Water inclusion is confirmed across the building. Every current listing shows WATER in association_fee_includes, and the remarks explicitly reinforce that the maintenance fee covers water. This is the strongest possible building-level evidence.
BBQ/grilling facilities are very strongly supported as a shared building amenity. Historical MLS data shows BBQ in 20/20 listings, and current remarks across many listings repeatedly mention a BBQ area or BBQ area renovations, suggesting this is not just copy-paste noise but a consistent building feature.

There is no supporting evidence in the public remarks for a car wash facility, and the feature appears in only 1/20 current MLS listings. With no corroborating description from agents or owners, this looks more like a stray MLS checkbox than a confirmed building feature.

Patio/deck amenities are strongly supported by the public remarks. Well over half of the listings mention a private lanai, balcony, or similar outdoor space, with phrases like "your own lanai," "from your very own beachfront condo," and "morning coffee on your balcony." The repeated references across many listings make this a high-confidence building feature.
Across all provided remarks, there are no mentions of an on-site jogging or walking path, only off-site 'nature trails' and hiking in the surrounding area. With just 1/20 MLS entries checking this box and no descriptive support, it is very unlikely the building offers a dedicated jogging path.

I looked for surfboard, board, or surf storage references. The remarks explicitly mention outdoor kayak/surfboard storage, which confirms the feature.
No analysis available
Trash chute is supported by both historical MLS data and current remarks. At least one current listing explicitly states the building has a "trash chute," and the historical checkbox frequency (15/20) indicates it is a common building amenity rather than an isolated unit-level note.

Across the provided remarks, there are zero explicit mentions of a pool, lap pool, plunge pool, heated pool, or resort pool. The only current evidence is a weak MLS amenity indicator in 1 of 20 listings, while the remarks focus on beach access, BBQ areas, security, and renovations instead. This pattern suggests the pool checkbox is likely inaccurate rather than a verified building feature.
No analysis available
I searched for any mention of a saltwater/salt pool, saline pool, or even a general swimming pool. There are no pool references in the remarks, and the building context already indicates there is no pool.
No analysis available
Community laundry is strongly supported for this building. Historical MLS data shows 17 of 20 listings with COMLAU checked, and current remarks explicitly mention "community laundry" and "laundry facilities," which aligns with the checkbox data. The evidence appears consistent across multiple listings rather than a one-off agent copy/paste error.
I looked for any public remarks indicating that laundry requires payment, including coin laundry, coin-op, quarters, card access, or laundry fees. The remarks reference community laundry/facilities but do not mention payment terms. With no explicit evidence of paid laundry, this is left as false with low confidence.
I searched for public remarks stating laundry is available on each floor, such as "laundry on every floor" or "floor-by-floor laundry." The listings only mention community laundry in general and upcoming laundry facilities, but nothing that confirms service on every floor. Because there is no explicit every-floor statement, this remains unconfirmed and is set to false with low confidence.
Parking is strongly confirmed across the building. The current MLS data is unanimous at 20/20 listings with parking-related features, and the remarks repeatedly mention parking stalls or assigned parking, indicating this is not just copy-paste noise.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks contain direct evidence of deeded/owned parking. The clearest match is the explicit phrase "1 deeded parking," which strongly supports deeded parking for the building/unit context.
No analysis available
I looked for language about a monthly parking fee, additional parking cost, or parking rental terms. The remarks mention parking in the context of included stalls and guest parking, but do not state any separate fee.
Guest parking is supported by both MLS checkbox data and listing remarks. At least a few listings explicitly reference guest parking, including phrasing like 'guest parking' and 'plenty of guest parking', which suggests the feature is genuinely available in the building.
Secured-entry parking/access is strongly supported by both current MLS data and recurring remarks. Multiple listings describe the building as gated or secured, and newer remarks add details such as facial and license plate recognition, making this feature highly credible.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for "parking waitlist," "waiting list," and similar wording. Nothing indicates that parking is managed through a waitlist system.
No analysis available
I looked for card, fob, keycard, or electronic access language. The remarks clearly confirm a card/fob-based security system, along with newer access controls being added.
Security guard/service is strongly supported for this building. Multiple listings explicitly mention "24-hour security," "security patrol," and related security system upgrades, and the MLS amenities data shows SECGUA in 19/20 listings. The evidence appears consistent across several agents and is not just a single copy-paste remark.
I searched for explicit references to patrol or roving security service. Multiple remarks confirm security patrol, so this feature is supported.

Evidence supports window air conditioning in at least some units in the building. The clearest public remark says the unit has an "AC unit in bedroom," and the current MLS data has ACWIUN included in 8 of 20 recent listings. Most other remarks do not mention AC, which suggests the checkbox may be inconsistently copied rather than universally described, but the available evidence is enough to include the feature.
Concrete construction is strongly supported by the MLS history for this building, with 16/20 listings marked CONCRE. The public remarks across many listings focus on oceanfront location and renovations rather than structure, but nothing indicates a different primary construction type.
No public remarks explicitly mention double-wall construction, but the MLS continues to show 8/20 listings marked for DOUWAL. Because this feature is a building-level construction attribute and the historical confidence was already high, the checkbox pattern is enough to keep it included. The remarks look heavily copy-pasted around oceanfront marketing, so the absence of mention is not strong evidence against it.
Hollow tile appears in a minority of the MLS history, with 4/20 listings tagged HOLTIL. Because the public remarks do not describe hollow tile construction and instead emphasize renovations and building upgrades, this looks like tentative MLS evidence rather than well-confirmed building documentation.
No analysis available
No analysis available
No public remarks reference a concrete slab foundation or similar wording. Because the MLS checkbox still appears on 6/20 listings, but the historical confidence was low and the remarks are silent, the evidence is weak and likely reflects copy-paste MLS data rather than verified building construction.

The remarks repeatedly describe the property as a multi-story beachfront tower with 5th-, 7th-, 9th-, and top-floor units served by elevators. That pattern supports an above-ground building classification, though the evidence is mostly implied rather than explicitly stated. This is a moderate-confidence feature rather than a direct textual confirmation.

I reviewed the remarks for explicit short-term rental indicators such as STR permitted, vacation rental allowed, NUC, TVU, or a 30-day minimum rule. None were found, so there is no public-remarks evidence that short-term rentals are allowed in this building.
I looked for hotel rental pool references such as Hilton, Trump, Ritz, or hotel-managed rental program language. None were found, and since STR is not evidenced as allowed, hotel pool participation is also false.
I searched for language indicating mandatory enrollment in a rental pool, such as "must participate" or "cannot opt out." No such language appears in the remarks, and there is no evidence of any hotel pool program.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for leasehold wording, ground lease end dates, lease extension years, and expiry language. Instead, the listings indicate fee-simple ownership, so there is no lease expiry year to extract.
I searched the remarks for VA-specific language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted," but found nothing. Based on the available public remarks, there is no evidence this building is VA-approved.
I looked for any indication that the HOA provides full or walls-in building insurance, but the remarks do not mention insurance coverage at all. The listings discuss renovations, assessments, and building upgrades instead. With no direct evidence, this remains false at low confidence.
No analysis available
I searched the public remarks for language indicating a passed fire/life safety evaluation or similar compliance status, but found nothing. Mentions of spalling work, security system upgrades, and assessments do not confirm FLSE status. With no direct evidence, this remains false at low confidence.

Ocean views are overwhelmingly supported. Across the provided remarks, virtually every listing mentions phrases like "oceanfront," "ocean views," "Pacific Ocean," "water view," or "wake to the sound of the waves," with many listings repeating similar copy. This appears to be consistent building-level marketing rather than isolated unit-specific claims.
Mountain views are well supported by both MLS history and multiple remarks. Listings reference "mountain views," "Wai'anae mountain range," "mountain and valley," and similar phrasing, including some units that pair ocean and mountain views. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and not just copy-paste noise.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Coastline views are supported by the MLS history and by several remarks using phrases like "coastal views," "coastal living," and "scenic Waianae Coast." While not every listing uses the exact word coastline, the recurring coastal/frontage language across the listings is strong evidence. This appears to be a genuine building-level view attribute.

Sunset views are repeatedly and explicitly marketed. Many listings mention "beautiful sunsets," "unforgettable sunsets," "sunset views," or "watch sunsets every night of the year," and several describe sunset viewing from the lanai or beachfront. The volume and consistency of these remarks make this a high-confidence building feature.
No analysis available
I searched for direct statements that residents can see fireworks from the building or from unit lanais/windows. The remarks focus on ocean, sunset, beach, and wildlife views, and do not mention fireworks views or watching fireworks from the property. Because there is no evidence of a view to fireworks, this is set to false with low confidence.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The evidence strongly supports a resident/on-site manager for this building. Historical MLS data shows RESMAN in 17 of 20 listings, and at least one current remark explicitly says the building has an "on-site resident manager." The consistent MLS pattern across many listings suggests this is a real building feature rather than a copy-paste error.
