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 owner-occupancy percentages and phrases such as majority owner occupied or highly owner occupied. The remarks refer to ownership, renting, vacation homes, and investment opportunities, but do not establish the percentage of units occupied by owners.
The listings confirm that the building has elevator service, but none state whether it has one elevator or multiple elevators. No evidence confirms or contradicts the current value of 1, so it is retained with low confidence.
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.

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.
Common-area services are supported by 18/20 current MLS listings through OTCOEX. One remark explicitly says the monthly maintenance fee covers "water, sewer, and common area services," while other remarks consistently describe shared elevators, BBQ areas, security, laundry, and other building amenities.

Hot water inclusion is not supported at the building level: only 1/20 listings checks HOTWAT, while 11/20 list WTRHTR. Multiple remarks mention unit-specific "tankless water heater" or "on-demand hot water heater," strongly indicating owners provide their own hot water rather than receiving included building-supplied hot water.
Internet inclusion has direct remark support, including the phrase "internet ... included in the HOA fee" and a separate reference to "free Wi-Fi throughout the complex." Although only 6/20 current listings check INTSER and some wording may be copied, the explicit HOA statement supports inclusion.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is confirmed across all 20/20 current MLS listings. Remarks explicitly say the HOA fee includes "water, and sewer," providing confirmation beyond checkbox data.
Water inclusion is strongly confirmed across all 20 current MLS listings. Multiple remarks explicitly state that "internet, water, and sewer" are included in the HOA fee or that the maintenance fee covers water, consistent with the association-fee data across multiple listings.
At least 10 listings explicitly mention a building BBQ area or grilling facilities, with phrases including 'reservable BBQ area,' 'Traeger smoker,' 'three propane grills,' and 'outdoor kayak/surfboard storage.' The evidence is consistent across multiple listing descriptions and strongly reinforces the 20/20 current MLS amenity indication.

There is no supporting evidence in the public remarks for a car wash / auto wash amenity. The feature appears in only 2/20 current MLS listings and is not reinforced by the listing descriptions, so it should be treated as absent for the building.

Well over 20 listings mention a lanai, balcony, or similar outdoor space, including phrases such as “from your lanai,” “private lanai,” “relax on your palm-shaded lanai,” “primary bedroom with private lanai,” and “enclosed 65' lanai.” The evidence is strong across many listings and agents rather than relying only on copied MLS checkbox data, confirming that the building offers patio/deck-type outdoor amenities.
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.

No listings explicitly identify a recreation area or equivalent amenity. Although 2/20 MLS records include RECARE, the lack of corroborating remarks suggests this may be an isolated or incorrect checkbox rather than a confirmed shared building feature.

The remarks directly identify outdoor surfboard storage at the building. The listing indicates that access may require an additional fee, but the storage facility itself is clearly documented.
No analysis available
One listing explicitly mentions a 'trash chute,' while 16/20 current MLS records include TRACHU. The direct remark, combined with strong historical and current MLS support, confirms trash chute as a building amenity.

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 salt water pool, saltwater pool, salt pool, saline pool, and swimming-pool references. No supporting evidence was found, and the building context lists pool=false.
No analysis available
At least two current listings mention shared laundry facilities, including the direct phrase "This gated, beachfront building offers community laundry" and another reference to "upcoming improvements" including "laundry facilities." Combined with high historical confidence and COMLAU appearing in 18/20 listings, the evidence strongly supports community laundry as a building amenity.
I searched for coin laundry, coin-op, quarters, laundry fees, payment cards, and similar wording. Although community laundry is mentioned, the remarks do not identify any payment requirement.
I searched for references to laundry on each floor, laundry rooms on every floor, or floor-by-floor laundry. The remarks only say the building offers 'community laundry' and provide no evidence that facilities are located on every floor.
Parking is confirmed across the building by all 20 current MLS listings, with 0 listings marked NONE. At least five remarks explicitly reference parking, including open/unassigned, deeded, guest, and assigned parking, providing strong corroboration beyond checkbox data.
Assigned parking is supported for at least one unit by the explicit phrase '1 deeded parking,' along with one current MLS ASSIGN designation. Other listings mention 'open, unassigned' parking, indicating parking types vary by unit rather than disproving the existence of assigned spaces.
No analysis available
At least one listing directly confirms deeded parking with the phrase "1 deeded parking." Other listings also reference an included parking space, supporting that deeded parking is available for some units.
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for parking fees, monthly parking charges, parking rental costs, and additional parking expenses. No fee was stated, although several listings mention included, deeded, unassigned, guest, or extra-cost storage parking without identifying a recurring parking charge.
Guest parking is strongly supported by both MLS checkbox data and multiple remarks. Two listings explicitly mention 'guest parking,' including one stating there is 'plenty of guest parking'; despite some repeated listing language, the evidence is consistent across 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
The remarks were searched for “parking waitlist,” “parking waiting list,” and instructions to join a parking list. No such language was found, so there is no public-remarks evidence that the building uses a parking waitlist.
No analysis available
Multiple listings document key-fob access and newer facial and license plate recognition systems. This strongly supports an established card/fob-based access system, even though the building is transitioning to newer access technologies.
At least 7 listings explicitly mention building security, including "24-hour security," "24/7 security," "security patrol," and "new 24 hour security and onsite management." The evidence is strong across multiple remarks and is consistent with the current MLS amenity selection in 19 of 20 listings, rather than appearing to be an isolated copy-paste error.
Several listings directly describe security patrol or 24-hour security service. This is consistent with the building context showing an active security guard.

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.
CONCRE appears in 15 of 20 MLS listings, making concrete construction strongly supported across the listing history. Current remarks repeatedly mention completed building spalling work and exterior improvements, although they do not explicitly use the phrase 'concrete construction.'
DOUWAL is recorded in 8 of 20 listings, supporting double-wall construction through recurring MLS construction-material data. No current public remarks explicitly mention double-wall construction, so the evidence appears to rely on MLS checkbox data rather than independent agent descriptions.
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.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The listings describe the units as vacation homes, vacation spots, retreats, and investment opportunities, and one says the unit may be rented, but none explicitly confirms permitted short-term rentals, NUC, TVU, or legal vacation-rental status. No explicit prohibition such as a 30-day minimum or owner-occupant-only rule was found; based solely on the public remarks, STR permission is not established.
The remarks were searched for hotel rental-pool and hotel-operated rental language, with no matches found. Because short-term rental permission is not established, participation in a hotel rental pool must be false.
The remarks contain no indication that owners must participate in a hotel rental program. Since STR permission is not established, mandatory hotel-pool participation is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The building is identified as fee simple, so a leasehold expiry date is not applicable. No ground lease, leasehold expiration, or renewal year was found in the remarks.
The remarks were searched for VA approval and VA loan terms, including “VA approved,” “VA financing,” and “VA loans accepted.” None of these references appeared; owner financing was mentioned, but that is not VA financing.
I searched for fully insured, full insurance, comprehensive building insurance, fully covered insurance, and walls-in coverage language. None of the public remarks provide an explicit statement that the HOA fully insures the building or provides walls-in coverage.
No analysis available
I searched for fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE, fire safety certification, life-safety compliance, and passed fire inspection language. The remarks discuss building improvements, spalling work, security, and building repairs, but do not state that an FLSE or fire inspection 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 exceptionally well supported across all 20 listings, with repeated references to oceanfront living, panoramic ocean views, Pacific Ocean views, and unobstructed coastline views. The evidence appears across numerous listings and agents, not merely as an isolated checkbox or unsupported claim.
Mountain views are strongly supported by 15 of 20 current listings and by detailed remarks from multiple listings. Examples include views of the Wai'anae mountain range, Mount Lahilahi, and mountain/sunrise vistas, indicating the building offers units with mountain views even though they may not be present from every unit.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Coastline views are well supported by 15 current MLS listings and multiple detailed remarks. Examples include "expansive coastline... views," "forever views of coastline, ocean, and sunset," "scenic Waianae Coast," and "stunning coastal views," confirming that coastline-view units are available.

Sunrise evidence is limited but explicit: one listing directly advertises "mountain/sunrise views from the living room," and the MLS data contains SUNRIS in 2 of 20 listings. The feature should be included for buyers because at least some units appear to offer sunrise exposure, despite weaker prevalence than the other views.
Sunset views are strongly and repeatedly confirmed across 17 listings. Remarks include "stunning sunsets," "golden sunsets," "sunsets to watch every night of the year," and "west coast sunsets," with the consistency across listings supporting a genuine building-level feature.
No analysis available
I searched for fireworks views from units, the building, lanais, or other on-site locations. No qualifying statement was found; references to sunsets and other coastal views do not establish a fireworks view.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Two listings explicitly mention the feature, including "on-site resident manager" and "onsite management." This corroborates the strong MLS pattern of RESMAN appearing in 16/20 listings and indicates the amenity is building-wide rather than an isolated unit feature.

Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
