One Waterfront Tower
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.

I searched for explicit owner-occupancy cues such as "80% owner occupied," "majority owner occupied," or "highly owner occupied." The remarks only provide a floor-specific statement and a general note that many owners have other homes, which is not enough to estimate a building-wide percentage.
I searched for direct elevator-count language such as "4 elevators," "multiple elevators," or a spelled-out count, but none was found. Several remarks reference being near the elevator or a private elevator entrance, which confirms elevator access exists, but not how many elevators the building has.
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.
Central A/C is well supported across the listings. Remarks explicitly mention “central AC,” “cool central air,” and “bldg supplies chilled water,” indicating this is a building-level feature rather than an isolated unit upgrade.
Cable TV inclusion is strongly supported by the MLS history and repeated in current remarks. At least several listings explicitly mention “maintenance fee includes basic cable” or list cable as included, which looks consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste.
Common-area electricity is strongly supported at the building level. The MLS history shows 17/20 listings with OTCOEX, and several remarks imply the fee covers building/common power or say the monthly fee includes broad utilities. This looks like consistent building-level data rather than a one-off agent entry.
No analysis available
Electricity appears in several remarks, including direct phrases such as "Electricity is included in maint. fee," "electricity conveniently included in the maintenance fee," and "monthly fee includes all utilities." The evidence is inconsistent across listings and the MLS history is only medium confidence (5/20), but the repeated explicit mentions make inclusion likely for at least some units or fee structures in the building.
Across dozens of listings, there are no explicit statements that gas service is included in owners’ maintenance fees. Gas is only mentioned in the context of amenities (fire pits, BBQ grills), and 16/20 MLS records do not mark GAS. This supports treating gas as not included in the association fees for units.
Hot water inclusion is supported by both MLS inclusions and explicit remarks. One listing states “Maintenance fee includes internet and cable tv, water, hot water, sewer,” and the absence of WTRHTR in the MLS data reinforces that building-supplied hot water is the likely setup.
Internet inclusion is consistently supported by the MLS history and remarks. Listings explicitly say “maintenance fee includes internet” and even “internet and cable tv,” which suggests this is a genuine building-wide inclusion and not a checkbox error.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is strongly corroborated. The MLS history shows 17 of 20 listings with sewer included, and current remarks directly state maintenance fee coverage for sewer, making this a highly reliable building feature.
Water inclusion is very well supported by both history and remarks. Several listings state that the fee includes water or “all utilities,” and the 17/20 MLS inclusion rate indicates this is a stable building-level amenity.
BBQ facilities are one of the most consistently documented amenities in the building. Nearly all MLS listings include BBQ in amenities, and the remarks repeatedly confirm shared grilling spaces with phrases like 'BBQ areas,' 'BBQ pavilions,' and 'BBQ cabanas.' This is strong building-level evidence.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Car wash facilities appear to be a real building amenity. Public remarks explicitly mention a 'car wash area' in multiple listings, and the MLS amenity code shows up often enough to support the feature. This is consistent rather than isolated evidence.
Clubhouse availability is supported by both MLS checks and public remarks. Multiple listings explicitly say 'clubhouse,' while others describe similar shared community space. The pattern suggests a genuine amenity rather than a stray MLS checkbox.
Concierge service is supported by explicit remarks in multiple listings, including phrases like "staffed concierge" and "concierge desk." Even though only 1/20 current MLS listings has CONCIE checked, the wording is direct and building-level, so this appears to be a real amenity rather than a copy-paste error.
Dog park support is not evident in the remarks. Despite a small MLS signal, no current listing descriptions mention a dog park or comparable pet exercise area, while many other amenities are described in detail. This is strong evidence that the feature should not be treated as confirmed.
Evidence for a doorman is weak: only 1 of 20 MLS listings includes DOORMA and there is a single remark referencing a "concierge desk," but virtually none of the many other public remarks use "doorman", "door attendant", or "lobby attendant." Historical data lacked confidence and current remarks do not support a consistent doorman/lobby-attendant service across the building, so the feature is omitted.
Exercise amenities are strongly confirmed across the building. Roughly 18/20 MLS listings checked EXEROO, and many public remarks independently mention 'fitness center,' 'gym,' 'exercise room,' or 'indoor and outdoor fitness areas.' The consistency across many listings suggests this is a real shared amenity, not a copy-paste error.
No analysis available
Meeting/conference space is directly referenced in the remarks, including 'conference room' and 'nicely furnished conference room.' With MLS data also showing this amenity in about half of the listings, this feature is well supported for the building.
Patio/deck access is strongly supported for One Waterfront Towers. Across many current listings, well over 20 remarks mention a lanai or outdoor deck-like space, and several also reference the building’s 'recreation deck' and 'amenity deck.' The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listing styles, so this appears to be a real shared building feature rather than copy-paste noise.

The building appears to have a shared recreation/amenity deck. Multiple listings describe a 'recreation deck,' 'amenity deck,' or 'recreation area,' which aligns with the MLS amenity codes. Evidence is consistent across different agents and listing styles.
There is credible evidence for a recreation room or equivalent shared activity space. A number of remarks reference a "game room," "rec deck," or "recreation deck," suggesting a common leisure space even if the exact label varies. Evidence is smaller than for core amenities but still supportive.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Sauna is confirmed in the building, though it is mentioned slightly less often than pool, BBQ, or tennis. Several listings explicitly call out a 'sauna' alongside the renovated amenity deck and other resort-style features, supporting it as a shared amenity.
No analysis available
I searched for surfboard storage, surf storage, board storage, or bike-and-surfboard storage references and found none. A few remarks mention bicycle storage/racks, but nothing about surfboard storage facilities.
Tennis courts are definitively present and are mentioned in nearly every set of remarks. The building is repeatedly described as having 'tennis courts' or '2 tennis courts,' often alongside pickleball, making this a clear shared amenity for buyers.
Trash chute is supported mainly by the MLS amenity data, which shows it in 17 out of 20 listings. Public remarks are mostly silent on this feature, which is common for utility amenities, so the lack of mention does not undermine it. Confidence is high based on the MLS consistency.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Whirlpool/spa amenities are clearly supported across the listings. Many remarks mention 'jacuzzi,' 'hot tub,' 'whirlpool spa,' or 'spa,' usually alongside the pool and sauna. The evidence is broad and consistent, indicating a shared building amenity.
Pool is strongly confirmed for One Waterfront Towers. Current remarks repeatedly mention a "pool" or "swimming pool" in amenity lists across many listings, often alongside the recreation deck, BBQ areas, and fitness facilities. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and reads like a building-level amenity, not a one-off copy-paste error.
Heated pool is strongly confirmed for One Waterfront Towers. Dozens of remarks explicitly state "heated pool," "heated swimming pool," or "heated saltwater pool," often with added detail about the amenity deck and spa/jacuzzi. This is consistent across many listings and multiple agents, so the feature appears firmly established.
The remarks explicitly identify the pool as a heated saltwater pool. That is direct evidence for the salt-water pool feature.
In-unit laundry is strongly supported across this building’s listing history, with well over 10 listings explicitly mentioning washer/dryer in the unit. Current remarks confirm it repeatedly using exact phrases such as "in-unit washer and dryer," "washer and dryer in the unit," and "newer washer/dryer stacked," so this does not appear to be a copy-paste checkbox error.
No analysis available
I looked for paid community laundry language such as coin-op, card-operated, quarters, coin laundry, or laundry fee references and found nothing. The remarks focus on in-unit laundry or hookups, so there is no public-remarks evidence that shared laundry requires payment.
I searched the public remarks for language like "laundry on every floor," "laundry room on each floor," or other floor-by-floor community laundry references and found none. The listings mention in-unit washer/dryer or washer/dryer hookups, but nothing about shared laundry facilities on each floor.
No analysis available
Assigned parking is strongly supported across the building, with many listings explicitly saying "assigned," "reserved," "titled," or "designated" stalls. Multiple agents repeat the feature in different units, suggesting it is a building-level characteristic rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
Covered parking is very well supported across the building, with many listings explicitly stating 'covered parking stall,' '2 covered parking stalls,' 'covered and secured parking,' and 'gated garage.' The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and formats, not just a single copy-paste source.
I looked for deeded, owned, titled, or included-in-title parking language. Multiple listings explicitly say the unit has titled parking stalls, which is strong evidence the parking is deeded/owned rather than rented.
No analysis available
I looked for parking fee, monthly parking charge, or parking rental language. The listings describe parking stalls as included or assigned, but no separate parking fee appears in the remarks.
Guest parking is clearly available at the building and appears in numerous remarks from different listings. The repeated wording across many agents suggests this is a real building-level amenity rather than a mistaken checkbox.
Secured parking/access is well supported by the remarks, including explicit mentions of a 'gated garage' and 'secured parking garage' along with 24/7 security references. The evidence is broad and consistent, indicating the parking area has controlled or secure entry.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for parking waitlist, parking waiting list, and join-waitlist wording. Nothing in the public remarks suggests a waitlist system for parking, so there is no evidence that one exists.
No analysis available
I searched for key card, fob access, card reader, electronic entry, and keycard language in the public remarks and found none. The building is repeatedly described as secure with 24-hour security, but that is not the same as card/fob access.
Security guard service is very strongly supported. Dozens of current listings explicitly mention '24-hour security' or '24/7 security,' and several also describe 'security guards,' 'security officers,' 'on-site security,' or a 'secure building.' The consistency across many remarks and the near-universal MLS checkbox make this a high-confidence building feature.
I looked for wording such as security patrol, roving security, patrolled building, or patrol service and found nothing in the remarks. The listings mention 24-hour security and security guards, but not patrol service.
No analysis available
Central AC is strongly supported as a building feature at One Waterfront Towers. Across the current remarks, well over a dozen listings explicitly mention "central A/C," "central air conditioning," or the building supplying chilled water, and several also note AC-related upgrades or systems. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and appears to be more than copy-paste noise, matching the prior high-confidence MLS history.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Evidence for concrete construction is very strong across the current listings: 18 of 20 listings have CONCRE checked in construction materials. Several remarks also reinforce this with explicit wording like "concrete construction for quiet and privacy" and "rebuilt from the concrete up," which aligns with a concrete-built tower rather than a copy-paste anomaly.
There is no supporting evidence in the public remarks for double wall construction. Only 4 of 20 current MLS listings show DOUWAL, while the remarks repeatedly describe concrete construction and do not mention double walls or two-wall construction anywhere. This looks like an unreliable MLS checkbox entry rather than a confirmed building feature.
No analysis available
0 of the provided listings explicitly mention masonry or stucco, while multiple remarks instead reference concrete construction, “reimagined from the concrete up,” or similar language. The lone current MLS MASSTU flag looks like a likely agent checkbox error or stale data rather than verified building information. Based on the remark set, this feature should be excluded for now.
Steel-frame construction does not appear to be a real building feature here: only 3 of 20 current listings check STEFRA, and the public remarks are silent on any steel-frame construction or recent structural change. The pattern looks more like inconsistent MLS checkbox data than a genuine building characteristic.
Confidence 90%: Only 2/20 MLS records list SLAB while 19/20 list CONCRE, and a 45-story tower in Honolulu is not a slab-on-grade style building; the few SLAB entries are likely agent miscoding.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The building is consistently described as a high-rise tower property, including phrases like 'twin 45-story towers' and '400-foot residences,' which implies above-ground construction. However, explicit mention of an 'above ground' construction feature is limited, and the MLS checkbox appears in only 4 of 20 listings, so this is weaker than the concrete evidence.
There is no reliable evidence that the building is brick-constructed. Only one listing has BRICK in MLS data, and the remarks that mention brick refer to an interior penthouse design feature ('imported, antique-style brick'), not the building structure, so this appears to be agent noise rather than a true building feature.
No analysis available
I searched for STR permitted, legal vacation rental, NUC/TVU, and hotel-rental language. The remarks do not provide any evidence that short-term rentals are allowed, so this is treated as not allowed based on absence of support in the listings.
I looked for hotel rental pool, managed by hotel, Hilton/Trump/Ritz pool, and related program references. None appear in the remarks, and there is no basis to mark a hotel pool arrangement as present.
I searched for mandatory participation wording such as required to rent, cannot opt out, or must be in a rental program. The remarks do not show any such arrangement, so this is marked false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for leasehold language such as lease expires, ground lease ends, renewed through, or a specific expiration year. Nothing in the remarks indicates a lease expiry year, and the listings point instead to fee simple ownership.
The public remarks repeatedly and explicitly confirm VA financing. This is strong evidence from more than one listing, so the building should be treated as VA loan approved based on the remarks.
This is directly supported by the public remarks and matches the full building insurance / walls-in coverage definition. The language is explicit and unambiguous, so confidence is very high.
Fire sprinklers are strongly supported for this building. At least 2 listings explicitly mention 'Building and unit equipped with fire sprinklers' or 'sprinklered,' which confirms the MLS amenity rather than a copy-paste checkbox error. This aligns with the already high-confidence historical data, so the feature should remain true.
I looked for phrases like FLSE passed, fire safety certified, life safety compliant, or passed fire inspection. The remarks only mention fire sprinklers/sprinklered units, which is not the same as a documented FLSE pass, so there is no evidence to mark this feature true.
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 firmly established for One Waterfront Tower. Dozens of remarks mention phrases like “Pacific Ocean,” “ocean views,” “harbor views,” and “makai,” with multiple listings describing panoramic or unobstructed ocean-facing vistas from lanais and floor-to-ceiling windows. The evidence is consistent across many agents and does not look like a copy-paste anomaly.
Mountain views are clearly offered in some units at this building. Multiple listings describe “mountain views,” “Ko’olau mountains,” “mauka,” and “mauka to makai,” often alongside ocean and city views, indicating a real building-level view option rather than a mistaken checkbox. The remarks are repeated across several listings and agents, supporting high confidence.
No analysis available
City views are strongly supported across One Waterfront Towers. Multiple listings explicitly mention "city views," "Honolulu skyline," "downtown," "urban views," and "city lights," suggesting this is a common building-level offering rather than a one-off unit feature. The pattern is consistent across many agents and does not look like a copy-paste mistake.
Coastline views are supported by both historical MLS data and current remarks. Several listings explicitly mention 'coastline views,' 'shoreline,' or 'coastal' views alongside ocean and sunset views. This appears to be a legitimate building-level view option available in some units.
Garden views appear to be available in some units at One Waterfront Towers, but they are not as common as city views. A few listings directly reference "garden view" or "tree top and garden view," while other remarks mention garden areas as amenities rather than views, so this is supported but more limited and likely unit-specific.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Sunrise views are present in a minority of listings but are explicitly confirmed in the current remarks. Several descriptions mention 'sunrise-to-sunset views' and 'east sunrise mountain,' which supports the feature as available in some units. Evidence is moderate to strong, but less consistent than ocean or sunset views.
Sunset views are one of the most consistently advertised features in the building. Listings commonly use phrases like “spectacular sunset vistas,” “beautiful sunsets,” and “enjoy the sunset from the lanai,” suggesting this is a stable and widely marketed amenity across multiple agents.
No analysis available
This feature is directly supported by explicit remarks stating residents can watch Friday night fireworks from the unit/lanai. The language is clear that the view is from the building, not merely nearby.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Resident manager presence is very strongly supported across the listings. Multiple remarks explicitly mention an 'on-site resident manager' or equivalent on-site management language, including one listing noting the building received '2024 Residential Manager of the Year.' The repeated references across listings suggest this is a real building-level feature, not just an MLS checkbox artifact.
