Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
MLS property data is unanimous: 13 of 13 listings report the building as built in 1972. No listing text suggests a different construction year or a complete rebuild, so 1972 is accepted with high confidence.
No listing explicitly states the total number of floors, but units are observed as high as the 13th floor and one unit is described as a penthouse. Using the highest observed unit floor, the building is estimated at 13 floors with moderate confidence. No contrary evidence appears in the remarks.
Across 13 listings, there are no remarks indicating how many units are in the building. Because no agent mentions a unit count, the total number of units cannot be reliably determined from the available data.
None of the listings provide an owner-occupancy percentage or qualitative description of owner vs. renter mix. Given this lack of evidence, the existing value of 55.00% is kept, but it cannot be confirmed or updated from the provided remarks.
Remarks confirm the building has two elevators, matching the current value. Multiple listings reference the elevators directly, including that there are "two new elevators" and renovations to the elevators.
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.
Listings specifically reference split AC and wall-mounted AC inside units, not a building-wide central system. With 0/13 listings checking central AC in the fee-includes field, it is very unlikely that central AC is a fee-covered utility.
Across 13 listings, none indicate cable TV is included in the association fees and no public remarks reference cable in the maintenance. This strongly suggests residents pay for their own cable service separately.
Most MLS entries (8 of 13) explicitly show common area electricity/maintenance included in the association fee. Remarks backing this with 'HOA fee covers ... common area maintenance' confirm that common areas are funded through the maintenance fees.
No MLS records indicate cooperative taxes are part of the fees, and the language used is consistent with a condominium rather than a co-op. This makes it highly unlikely that co-op taxes are included in the maintenance fee.
The combination of 0/13 MLS entries including electricity and a remark that the fee is charged 'plus electric usage' is strong direct evidence that unit electricity is not included. Residents appear responsible for their own electric bills.
There is no MLS or remarks support for gas being included in the maintenance fees. Given the building type and complete absence of any gas references, gas inclusion in fees is very unlikely.
Most MLS records (9 of 13) indicate hot water is included in the association fees, and no listings show individual water heaters that would contradict this. This pattern strongly supports hot water as a fee-covered building utility.
Neither MLS data nor public remarks suggest that internet service is bundled into the maintenance fees. This indicates residents arrange and pay for their own internet separately.
No MLS entries or remarks indicate marina access or boat slip fees are part of the association fees. The building is marketed for its rooftop pool and Waikiki location, not marina amenities, so marina fees are almost certainly not included.
Nearly all MLS records (12 of 13) show sewer included, and public remarks directly confirm sewer is part of the HOA coverage. This provides very strong evidence that sewer service is included in the maintenance fee.
MLS data overwhelmingly shows water included, and remarks clearly state that water is covered by the HOA fee. Together, this strongly confirms that water is included in the maintenance fees.
None of the listings describe any BBQ grills or outdoor cooking areas. The absence of both remarks and MLS amenity flags indicates the building likely does not provide BBQ facilities.
Across all provided remarks, there are no explicit mentions of bike storage, a bike room, or bicycle racks as a building amenity, and MLS amenities show 0/13 listings with bike storage checked. Because agents repeatedly describe key amenities (pool, storage, security, resident manager) but never reference any dedicated bike storage, it is very likely that the building does not offer a formal bike storage facility.
Listings highlight proximity to beaches and Ala Wai Canal views but do not reference any direct boating or dock facilities. Combined with MLS data, this indicates there is no boat dock amenity.
Parking and storage are mentioned, but not any car wash amenity. With no supporting MLS data, it is highly likely the building does not have car wash facilities.
The building’s amenities are consistently described as a rooftop pool, deck, resident manager, storage, and parking, with no reference to a clubhouse. MLS data likewise does not list a clubhouse amenity.
Across all public remarks, there is no mention of concierge, front desk service, or similar services. The only staff role highlighted is a resident manager, indicating the building likely does not offer concierge service.
One listing calls the building "pet-friendly," but there is no indication of a dedicated dog park or run. The absence of both textual and MLS evidence suggests no formal dog park amenity.
Multiple listings describe building amenities and staff but never mention a doorman or lobby attendant. The focus on a resident manager and electronic access systems suggests the building does not have a doorman service.
Across all provided remarks, there is no reference to a fitness center, gym, or exercise room. Combined with the MLS data showing no exercise-room amenity checked, this strongly suggests the building does not offer this feature.
Despite being a Waikiki building, none of the listings mention limousine or building-operated car service. MLS also does not indicate such a service, so this amenity can be safely ruled out.
Listings focus on residential and rooftop amenities only, without mentioning any meeting or conference space. MLS amenity checkboxes also do not indicate a meeting room exists.
At least 11 of the 13 listings mention outdoor spaces such as a "spacious lanai," "large wrap around lanai," or "massive wraparound lanai," plus a "rooftop pool and deck." These repeated references across many different listings and agents strongly confirm that the building offers patio/deck amenities.
Although the location is near beaches and parks, listings do not describe any dedicated jogging or walking path within the property. MLS amenity data confirms no jogging path is recorded for the building.
Amenities discussed are adult-oriented (rooftop pool, views, storage, parking) with no reference to children’s play structures or playgrounds. MLS also does not list a playground, indicating this feature is not present.
Across all listings, outdoor space is consistently described as lanais and a rooftop deck/pool, with no mention of any yard or enclosed ground-level outdoor area. Given the high-rise, urban nature of the building and lack of PRIYAR in MLS amenities, it is very unlikely that any units have a true private yard.
No agent remarks describe a putting green or similar golf amenity. MLS data likewise shows no putting-green amenity, so it is very likely the building does not offer one.
Several listings mention a rooftop pool and deck where residents can "relax," "soak up the sun," and enjoy panoramic city, mountain, and ocean views. This shared rooftop deck serves as a common recreation area for residents.
Agents describe unit interiors and rooftop amenities but not an indoor rec or game room. The lack of both textual and MLS evidence points to there being no dedicated recreation room.
Agents emphasize proximity to Waikiki’s restaurants and cafes rather than any in-building dining facility. The lack of on-site restaurant references and MLS flags indicates this amenity is not present.
At least eight listings describe a rooftop pool and/or rooftop deck (e.g., "residents can relax at the rooftop heated saltwater pool" and "Enjoy the rooftop deck with a pool"). This repeated, detailed wording across multiple agents confirms shared rooftop amenities for the building.
Amenities lists are fairly detailed but never include a sauna or steam facility. With zero MLS flags for a sauna, it is very likely this building does not have one.
Storage is clearly present in this building: MLS checkboxes indicate storage in 7/13 listings for amenities and 6/13 for unit features, and at least five separate remarks reference it directly (e.g., 'storage unit', 'extra storage', 'Amenities include ... storage'). These mentions span multiple units, including standard units and the penthouse, indicating building-wide availability rather than a single exclusive feature.
Public remarks reference generic storage and storage units but do not specify any surfboard-related storage facilities. Searched for terms like 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', or 'bike and surfboard storage' and found none. In the absence of explicit mentions, this building is assumed not to have dedicated surfboard storage.
Listings consistently highlight the rooftop pool and views but never mention tennis courts. With MLS also not showing tennis, it is very likely this building has no tennis court facilities.
A majority of MLS records for this building mark the trash-chute amenity, and such systems are common in similar Waikiki high-rises. The consistent MLS indication across many listings makes it likely the building has a trash chute, even if agents do not highlight it in prose.
Parking is described in detail (e.g., "2 parking stalls," "tandem parking," "secure, covered parking stall"), yet valet or valet parking is never referenced. This consistent omission, combined with unchecked MLS valet amenities, strongly indicates there is no valet service in the building.
Listings describe the building as a Waikiki condo with street access and make no reference to gates, walls, or perimeter fencing. With MLS amenities for GATED/WALFEN unchecked, it is very unlikely the property is enclosed by a wall or fence.
The only water amenity described is a rooftop heated saltwater pool; no separate spa or whirlpool is referenced. MLS amenity data supports that there is no whirlpool/hot tub feature.
Multiple listings describe a shared rooftop pool, using phrases like 'rooftop pool with panoramic views' and 'take a dip in the rooftop pool and check out the city from up high.' Combined with 12 of 13 MLS entries marking a pool-related amenity, this provides strong, building-wide evidence that residents have access to a common pool.
At least five listings explicitly describe a 'rooftop heated saltwater pool' or 'rooftop heated pool,' indicating this is a known, advertised building amenity rather than a one-off error. With 9 of 13 MLS entries also tagging a heated-pool amenity, there is strong evidence that the building’s rooftop pool is heated.
Public remarks for several different units in this building repeatedly describe the amenity as a heated saltwater rooftop pool, indicating the pool uses a saline system rather than chlorine. There are no remarks suggesting a different pool type, so the building is treated as having a saltwater pool with high confidence.
In-unit laundry is clearly present in this building. 7 of 13 listings explicitly reference in-unit laundry using phrases such as 'in-unit washer and dryer', 'In-unit laundry adds convenience', 'washer/dryer', and 'private washer/dryer', and MLS inclusions show washer/dryer checked on 13/13 listings. Evidence from both remarks and MLS data across many units and agents strongly supports that buyers can find units here with in-unit laundry.
There is no indication of shared/community laundry facilities in either the MLS amenity checkboxes (0/13 listings) or in any of the detailed remarks, which instead consistently highlight in-unit laundry. This absence across many listings and agents, combined with the focus on in-unit washer/dryers, supports concluding that the building does not have community laundry.
Listings do not reference coin-op, card-op, or paid community laundry facilities anywhere in the building. Given the focus on in-unit laundry and lack of any fee/coin/card wording, it is likely there is no paid community laundry setup.
The remarks repeatedly reference in-unit washer/dryer but never mention any shared or community laundry rooms on each floor. Phrases like 'laundry on every floor' or 'community laundry room' are absent, so this feature is likely not present.
Every listing for this building includes at least one parking stall, with phrases like '2 parking unit', '2 PARKING STALLS' and 'one parking stall.' MLS data (13/13 with parking-related flags, none with NONE) reinforces that building units come with parking. Evidence is consistent across many different agents and units.
Remarks specifically mention '1 assigned parking stall' and other units consistently state exact stall counts such as '2 PARKING STALLS' and '2 parking spaces.' With 11/13 MLS records flagged as ASSIGN, the pattern clearly supports assigned parking in the building.
Multiple listings highlight covered parking, using phrases like 'covered parking stall' and 'secure, covered parking stall.' Combined with 6/13 MLS records showing covered/garage parking, this is strong multi-agent evidence that the building offers covered parking.
Searched for phrases like 'deeded parking', 'owned parking', 'parking included in deed', and similar, but found none. Listings consistently reference assigned, covered, tandem, or secured stalls only, so there is no explicit evidence that parking is deeded.
Across all provided listings, there are no references to EV charging or stations, and no MLS entries show EVCHRG. Given the number of independent listings and the marketing value of EV amenities, it is very likely this building does not offer EV charging.
Reviewed all remarks for terms like 'parking fee', 'monthly parking charge', 'additional parking cost', or 'parking rental' and found no references. It is unclear whether any separate monthly parking fee exists based on these remarks.
The listings discuss resident stalls in detail but never mention 'guest parking' or 'visitor parking,' and the MLS data shows no GUEST flag for any unit. This consistent absence strongly suggests the building does not provide designated guest parking.
Multiple units reference secured parking, including phrases like 'secure, covered parking stall' and '2 secured tandem parking stalls,' and building security features like FOB access are mentioned. Together with some MLS SECENT flags, this indicates the parking area has secured entry.
Remarks clearly and repeatedly use phrases like 'rare tandem parking' and '2 PARKING (tandem)' for different units, including the penthouse. With 7/13 MLS records flagged TANDEM, there is overwhelming evidence that the building provides tandem parking stalls.
Across all listings, there is detailed discussion of stall type and security but no mention of 'valet' or 'attended' parking, and the MLS data never flags VALET. This consistent omission indicates the building does not offer valet parking.
Searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list for parking', and similar language and found no mentions. Given this absence, it is moderately likely there is no formal parking waitlist system described in the public remarks.
One listing specifically describes 'FOB entry' and 'secured elevator access,' implying that elevator access is controlled by a key or fob. This strongly supports that the building has secure, restricted-access elevators.
Multiple listings explicitly mention FOB entry and secure entry, which indicates an electronic card/fob access system is in place. This matches the definition of a card/fob access security system. Given the clear language in the remarks, this is set to true with high confidence.
Across all listings, there are no references to a security guard, 24/7 security personnel, or on-site security staff. Security is instead described in terms of secure entry, FOB access, and security cameras, making it unlikely that the building offers a staffed guard service.
The remarks reference security features like FOB entry, secured elevator access, security cameras, and a resident manager, but do not mention any patrolling or roving security service. Based on this absence and no prior data, security_patrol is set to false with medium-low confidence. If a patrol service exists, it is not being advertised in these listings.
At least one listing clearly notes 'security cameras' as part of the building's security. Even though other listings don’t repeat this phrase, this explicit mention is strong evidence that the building has a video security system.
No listing remarks mention central air or HVAC, and instead describe individual systems such as 'split AC' and 'wall-mounted AC' in specific units. Only 1 of 13 MLS records checks a central A/C box, which conflicts with the consistent remark pattern and strongly points to a checkbox mistake rather than a true building-wide feature. Based on this, central air conditioning is treated as not present in the building.
At least one listing’s remarks clearly advertise 'split AC', and 4 of 13 MLS entries check the split A/C inclusion code. This consistent pattern across multiple units and agents shows that some condos in the building have mini‑split systems. Buyers seeking buildings that offer split A/C options should treat this building as having that feature.
A small minority of MLS records (2 of 13) indicate window A/C via checkboxes, but no listing remarks describe window units explicitly. The narrative descriptions instead focus on split and wall-mounted systems, suggesting the window A/C entries may be inconsistent or erroneous. Because of this, window A/C is not considered a confirmed feature of the building.
Every recent listing for this building marks concrete construction in the MLS, indicating a reinforced concrete structure. The property type (elevator-served high-rise with rooftop pool) also strongly aligns with concrete construction in Waikiki. No listing remarks suggest any alternative primary structural system.
Most agents do not mark double-wall construction, and all mark concrete, suggesting the building is not considered a double-wall structure. Double-wall is mainly used to describe wood-framed houses, not reinforced-concrete Waikiki condos like this one.
No agents have marked hollow tile in the MLS, and none of the listing narratives mention hollow tile. Given the consistent concrete classification, hollow tile construction is very unlikely here.
A small minority of listings mark masonry/stucco, but the vast majority do not, and none of the remarks mention stucco or masonry walls. This pattern, combined with consistent concrete classification, indicates the building is not treated as masonry-stucco construction in practice.
Agents consistently classify the building as concrete, not steel frame, across all recent listings. Listing remarks focus on finishes and amenities but never mention steel framing, which would likely be highlighted if it were a defining construction type.
Only one listing marks slab construction, while the overwhelming majority do not, and no remarks reference slab-on-grade or similar terms. Following the guidance to disregard sparsely checked features without remark support, this building is not treated as having a notable slab-construction attribute in the MLS data.
No analysis available
No listings indicate wood frame construction, and this is a high-rise condo with features like rooftop pool and elevators, which in Waikiki are almost exclusively concrete rather than wood frame. Remarks never mention any wood frame structure or similar terms.
The above-ground construction flag appears in a small minority of MLS entries and is not supported by any narrative remarks. Given the concrete high-rise form, it is more consistent with a standard tower on a structural foundation than a raised above-ground structure.
There is no MLS or remarks evidence that the building has brick construction. In a Waikiki high-rise context, brick construction would be atypical and likely called out if present.
No MLS records or remarks indicate single-wall construction. The high-rise style, elevators, and rooftop pool are fundamentally at odds with the single-wall construction method used in older Hawaiian cottages.
I searched for terms like 'short-term rental', 'vacation rental', 'NUC', 'TVU', '30-day minimum', or any explicit statement that STR is allowed. Only long-term rental potential and general investment language are mentioned, so STR is assumed not allowed based on current remarks.
I looked for phrases such as 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel program', 'managed by [hotel brand]', or similar and found none. The building is described only as a condo with a rooftop pool (amenity), not as part of any hotel operation.
I searched for indications of required hotel program participation (e.g., 'mandatory pool', 'cannot opt out', 'must be in rental program') and found none. Since there is no sign of any hotel pool at all, mandatory participation can be safely ruled out.
None of the 13 listings mention 'fee simple' or similar language in the remarks, and the provided tenure fields are blank for both FS and LH. Because tenure is not discussed in the text, the presence of fee simple units remains unknown and is defaulted to false with low confidence.
Listing remarks do not reference leasehold status or any land lease terms, and the structured tenure data provided does not show LH on any of the 13 listings. Leasehold tenure for this building therefore cannot be confirmed and is treated as absent with low confidence.
There are no references to 'leasehold', 'ground lease', or a land lease expiration date in any of the public remarks, only to a tenant's rental lease term. This suggests the units are likely fee simple, but since land tenure is not explicitly discussed, no lease expiry year can be extracted. The value is therefore set to null due to lack of specific evidence.
The presence of existing assumable VA loans on multiple units strongly implies the building is VA-approved for financing. While the words 'VA approved' are not used explicitly, the ability to assume a VA loan requires prior VA project approval. There is no evidence in the remarks suggesting any loss or lapse of this approval.
Remarks describe what the HOA fee covers but do not state that the building has full or walls-in insurance coverage. Without explicit wording about comprehensive or walls-in insurance, this is assumed false by default, but the actual insurance scope is unknown from these remarks.
Across all 13 listings, neither the MLS amenities nor the public remarks mention fire sprinklers. This consistent absence strongly suggests that a building-wide fire sprinkler system is not present.
Listings frequently describe amenities and building work but never reference any fire/life safety evaluation or passing a related inspection. In the absence of explicit confirmation, this is set to false by default, though the true status remains uncertain.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.
No analysis available
Several listings describe clear ocean vistas from units and the rooftop, e.g., 'stunning ocean views', 'ocean peeks', and 'view from the ocean and Fort Derussy'. The rooftop pool/deck is repeatedly marketed as having ocean views, and 5 of 13 MLS records also check OCEAN, indicating this is a consistent building feature rather than an agent error.
Units and the rooftop deck are repeatedly advertised with mountain views: 'Ko'olau mountains', 'green mountain & Ala Wai views', and 'sunset, ocean, mountain, and city views'. With 6 of 13 MLS listings checking MOUNTA, mountain views clearly exist in this building.
Across many listings, agents detail a wide range of views (ocean, Fort DeRussy, Ala Wai canal, Tantalus, St. Louis Heights) but never mention Diamond Head. Combined with 0 of 13 MLS records checking DIAHEA, there is strong evidence that Diamond Head views are not a notable building feature.
City views are emphasized from both units and the rooftop, e.g., 'breathtaking views of the city' and 'check out the city from up high'. The penthouse and rooftop deck are also described as having city views, and 6 of 13 MLS view fields include CITY, confirming this as a reliable feature.
Even in highly detailed view descriptions such as '270 degree view from the ocean and Fort Derussy to Tantalus', agents stop at 'ocean views' and do not claim specific coastline/shoreline vistas. With only one MLS checkbox for COASTL and no textual corroboration, coastline view is likely not a consistent selling point.
Agents highlight 'palm trees' and Fort DeRussy Park, but not in the sense of a dedicated garden or courtyard view. Given the lack of any explicit garden-view language and zero MLS checks for GARDEN, this is not treated as a distinct garden-view building feature.
Although the building is near Ala Wai Golf Course and that course is mentioned as a nearby amenity, none of the many detailed view descriptions mention a golf course or fairways. With 12 of 13 MLS listings not checking GOLCOU and no textual support, golf course views are unlikely to be a meaningful building feature.
At least two listings specify views of the Ala Wai canal, e.g., 'Ko'olau mountains and Ala Wai canal to your right' and 'green mountain & Ala Wai views'. Since canal views are treated as marina views and several MLS records also check MARCAN, the building clearly offers marina/canal-view units.
A 7th-floor unit is marketed with direct 'breathtaking views of the ... sunrise', indicating eastern exposure in at least some stacks. Together with several MLS records checking SUNRIS, this supports sunrise views as a real, if stack-dependent, feature.
Both a unit and the rooftop deck are explicitly described as having sunset views, and Friday night Hilton fireworks are repeatedly marketed as visible from the building. With 5 of 13 MLS listings also checking SUNSET, sunset views are a well-established feature.
Across numerous listings covering many orientations and high-floor units, no agent mentions a cemetery in the view description. Combined with zero MLS records checking a cemetery view, this feature can be confidently excluded.
Multiple listings clearly describe being able to watch the Friday night Hilton fireworks directly from the units and lanais. This is direct evidence that the building offers fireworks views from the residential units. No remarks contradict this.
No analysis available
A listing states clearly that this is a "pet-friendly building," which directly confirms pets are allowed. No remarks or MLS restrictions contradict this, so the evidence supports that pets are permitted, possibly with standard building rules.
Several listings explicitly state that the building has a resident/on-site manager, and the RESMAN amenity is checked on the majority of units (10 of 13). This consistent description across different listings provides very strong evidence of an on-site resident manager.
Remarks focus on residential and long-term use (e.g., "ideal investment" with "long term rental potential," "first time home buyers") and do not reference nightly rentals or hotel programs. The absence of any condotel language across many listings and in MLS strongly indicates this is not a condotel building.
All descriptions treat the property as a standard fee-simple condo with HOA fees, not a share-based cooperative. The complete lack of co-op terminology in remarks and MLS data makes it very likely this is not a cooperative building.
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.
