Remarks were reviewed for quantitative or building-level descriptions of owner occupancy, including percentages or 'mostly owner occupied' language. Only a single-floor comment appears, which is insufficient to determine an overall owner-occupancy percentage for the building.
Listings were scanned for explicit phrases such as '4 elevators', 'three elevators', or similar counts. While elevators are referenced multiple times, no remark states how many serve the building, so the elevator count remains unknown.
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.
Multiple listings explicitly state that the maintenance fee includes air conditioning, e.g. 'THE MAINTENANCE FEE INCLUDES A/C CABLE, INTERNET, SEWER, AND WATER' and 'MAINTANCE FEE INCLUDES A/C CABLE, INTERNET, SEWER AND WATER.' Other remarks note 'Central AC (bldg supplies chilled water),' confirming a central system whose operating cost is covered by the association. This is reinforced by ACCEN being checked in 11 of 20 current MLS records.
Cable TV is specifically listed as part of the maintenance fee in several listings, e.g. 'Maintenance fee includes basic cable' and 'THE MAINTENANCE FEE INCLUDES A/C CABLE, INTERNET, SEWER, AND WATER.' Together with CABTV checked in 16 of 20 current MLS entries, this strongly supports that cable service is included in the association fees. Evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listings, not just a single copy‑paste description.
At least one current listing itemizes 'Total monthly fees: Maintenance fees + "other" (Reserves) + common electric,' showing that common area electricity is a distinct association charge paid monthly. Another remark notes that the maintenance fee covers 'common area maintenance,' and MLS data widely marks OTCOEX as included. Taken together, this supports that common area electricity is paid through association fees even when listed as a separate line item.

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.
At least one comprehensive listing directly lists hot water among the items covered by the maintenance fee. The strong MLS marking for HOTWAT and absence of unit water heaters further support that hot water is provided by the building and included in the monthly fees.
Multiple listings explicitly note internet as part of the HOA, for example 'THE MAINTENANCE FEE INCLUDES A/C CABLE, INTERNET, SEWER, AND WATER' and 'MAINTANCE FEE INCLUDES A/C CABLE, INTERNET, SEWER AND WATER.' Another detailed entry states 'Maintenance fee includes internet and cable tv, water, hot water, sewer, and common area maintenance.' Consistent wording across different agents plus widespread INTSER checkboxes confirm internet is included.
No analysis available
Sewer is repeatedly listed among the utilities covered by the fees, e.g. 'THE MAINTENANCE FEE INCLUDES A/C CABLE, INTERNET, SEWER, AND WATER' and 'MAINTANCE FEE INCLUDES A/C CABLE, INTERNET, SEWER AND WATER.' Another listing notes 'Maintenance fee includes internet and cable tv, water, hot water, sewer, and common area maintenance.' This, plus near‑universal SEWER checkboxes, shows sewer charges are included in the association fees.
Water is clearly described as an included utility in multiple listings, such as 'THE MAINTENANCE FEE INCLUDES A/C CABLE, INTERNET, SEWER, AND WATER' and 'MAINTANCE FEE INCLUDES A/C CABLE, INTERNET, SEWER AND WATER.' Another remarks that 'Maintenance fee includes internet and cable tv, water, hot water, sewer, and common area maintenance.' Combined with widespread WATER checkboxes, this strongly confirms that water service is paid via the association fees.
Public remarks consistently highlight communal grilling setups such as 'BBQ cabanas', 'BBQ pavilion and open space of BBQ', and 'natural gas BBQ grills and garden'. With BBQ in nearly all MLS records and detailed descriptions of pavilions and gazebos around the pool deck, shared BBQ facilities are a well-established building amenity.

Several agents describe a specific on-site 'car wash area' among the amenities. This, along with frequent CRWSH checkboxes, strongly supports that the complex has a shared vehicle wash facility residents can use.
Multiple agents explicitly market a clubhouse/community space as part of the amenity package. Combined with about half of the MLS entries checking CLUHOU, this supports the presence of a shared clubhouse-type facility accessible to residents.

Multiple listings from different agents describe extensive exercise facilities, including 'exercise room (indoor and outdoor)', '2-fitness rooms', 'cardio room, weight room', and 'multiple gyms'. With EXEROO checked in 16/20 current listings and detailed remarks across many years, the building clearly has substantial shared exercise rooms. This is a core resort-style amenity consistently marketed for One Waterfront Towers.
No analysis available
The building offers at least one shared meeting or conference room. Three or more independent listings describe a 'conference room' or 'conference rooms' as part of the amenities, indicating a dedicated indoor meeting space available to residents or for building use.
Across these listings, numerous unit descriptions emphasize sizable, usable lanais—often covered and explicitly measured (e.g., 130–235 sq ft)—described as spaces for dining, relaxing, and entertaining. Remarks also describe a large amenity/recreation deck with BBQ cabanas, lounge areas, and other outdoor seating, indicating shared patio/deck-style areas. Combined with 14/20 current MLS entries checking patio/covered patio, there is strong, multi-agent evidence that the building offers significant patio/deck amenities.

Listings emphasize a large shared outdoor amenity level, using phrases like 'expansive rec deck', 'recently renovated amenity deck', and 'recreation area with BBQ, cabanas, tennis courts, exercise room (indoor and outdoor)'. Multiple remarks note that the recreation deck, plumbing, and roof were recently redone. This clearly indicates a substantial shared recreation area serving the whole building.
At least one listing lists amenities as 'pool, tennis court, health club, and clubhouse', and another describes a 'game room area' alongside the pool, sauna, and BBQ. These terms match the intended recreation room / game room concept and appear in multiple agents’ descriptions. Together with MLS RECROO entries, this supports a shared recreation / clubhouse room in the building.

Multiple independent remarks list 'sauna' together with the pool, Jacuzzi, and gyms, e.g., 'spa sauna', 'sauna, exercise facilities', and 'heated pool, spa, sauna'. These references span many years and different agents. The combination of explicit textual mentions and MLS checkbox data strongly confirms a shared sauna facility in the building.
No analysis available
Searched for 'surfboard storage', 'surf storage', 'board storage', and combined 'bike and surfboard storage' language and found no references. Given the detailed amenity lists provided for this building, the lack of any surfboard-storage mention suggests this feature is not offered.
Many independent listings call out '2 tennis courts', 'tennis/pickleball courts', and '4 new tennis courts', sometimes noting lines for pickleball. Courts are repeatedly grouped with the pool and BBQ on the recreation deck, making them a major, long-standing shared amenity. Frequency and detail confirm building-level tennis facilities.
Although public remarks do not spell out 'trash chute', nearly all MLS entries continue to mark TRACHU and there is no contrary evidence or mention of alternative waste systems. Given the building’s age, height, and design, a centralized trash chute is standard infrastructure. We therefore retain trash_chute as present with high confidence.

Many listings describe a 'whirlpool spa', 'Jacuzzi spa', or 'heated pool with spa', often as 'heated swimming pool & whirlpool spa' or 'heated pool, jacuzzi'. These spa features are clearly part of the shared amenity deck rather than private units. Combined with strong MLS representation, the building unquestionably has a shared whirlpool / hot tub–style facility.
Multiple listings explicitly mention a building pool, often as part of “resort-style amenities,” including phrases like “heated pool,” “sparkling pool,” and “heated saltwater pool.” These references appear across many separate listings and agents, confirming a shared swimming pool as a core amenity. Combined with 20/20 MLS pool amenity flags and prior high-confidence data, the evidence for a building pool is very strong.
Multiple listings describe the pool specifically as heated, with phrases like “heated pool,” “heated swimming pool,” “heated saltwater pool,” and “newly renovated heated pool” appearing throughout the remarks. MLS data supports this with 8/20 listings checking a heated-pool amenity code. The repetition of explicit “heated pool” language across many different agents and units strongly confirms that the building’s common pool is heated.
Listings consistently mention a heated pool, and at least one explicitly calls it a 'heated saltwater pool.' This is strong direct evidence that the building's pool is saltwater.
Multiple current listings for One Waterfront Tower explicitly state in‑unit laundry, with phrases such as “washer and dryer in the unit,” “new combination washer/dryer … in the unit,” “full-size washer and dryer,” and “newer washer/dryer stacked.” One listing notes “Washer/Dryer hook ups in unit,” showing the building is plumbed for in‑unit laundry even where machines may not be present. Combined with MLS data showing 18/20 listings including washer/dryer, this provides strong, building‑wide evidence that in‑unit laundry is available in some units.
No analysis available
Searched for 'coin-op', 'coin laundry', 'card operated', 'paid laundry', 'laundry fee', and similar terms and found none. Listings only reference in-unit laundry and do not describe any paid common laundry facilities. Given this silence, paid community laundry is assumed not to exist.
Searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'community laundry' and found no mentions. Remarks emphasize in-unit laundry instead, suggesting there is no dedicated community laundry on every floor. In the absence of explicit statements, this feature is assumed not present.
No analysis available
Assigned parking is clearly established at One Waterfront Towers. At least 7 listings explicitly mention 'assigned' stalls (e.g., 'Two assigned parking stalls included,' '2 assigned parking stalls,' 'one covered, assigned parking stall'), and many others refer to specific stall counts in a way that implies designated spaces. Combined with 19/20 MLS records marking assigned parking, this is a stable, building-wide feature rather than a data entry error.
Covered parking is a standard feature at One Waterfront Towers. Numerous listings (well over 10) explicitly mention covered stalls such as '2 covered pkg stalls,' '2-covered parking,' and 'one covered, assigned, and secured parking stall,' indicating that resident parking is in covered or garage-type spaces rather than open lots.
Frequent references to 'titled' parking stalls show that parking is owned with the unit rather than rented separately. This supports parking being deeded across the building.
No analysis available
No public remarks mention a monthly parking fee, parking rent, or extra cost beyond standard maintenance/assessments. I looked specifically for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', or similar language and found none, so any fee remains unknown.
Guest parking is a well-documented amenity at this building. Many listings specifically state 'Guest parking,' 'many guest pkg,' 'ample guest parking,' or even quantify it ('24 guest parking stalls'), showing that visitors have designated on-site parking options.
Parking at One Waterfront Towers is accessed through a secured system. Multiple listings mention 'secured parking' or 'secured and covered parking stall' plus 'secured parking with cameras' and 24/7 security, indicating controlled-access entry to the parking garage.

I searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list for parking', or similar terms and found no references. Given the consistent inclusion of stalls with units and no waitlist language, it's moderately likely there is no formal parking waitlist system noted in remarks.
No analysis available
Searched for 'key card', 'keycard', 'fob', 'card access', 'electronic access', and similar language and found no mentions. While security is heavily advertised, the access method is never specified as card/fob-based. Therefore, card access cannot be confirmed and is assumed not present.
Multiple recent listings for One Waterfront Towers explicitly describe staffed, continuous security, using phrases like “24 hr security,” “24-hour security,” “24/7 security guards,” and “24/7 secured building.” In addition, 19 of 20 current MLS entries have the security guard amenity checked, and some remarks mention a security office monitoring building systems, strongly confirming the presence of on-site security personnel. Evidence is consistent across many different units and agents, indicating a building-wide, ongoing security guard service.
Continuous security and on-site security staff are highlighted across numerous listings. This level of service is characteristic of a building with active security patrols rather than just passive systems.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is clearly a building-wide feature at One Waterfront Towers. Several listings explicitly mention it (e.g., “Central AC, cable, internet…” and “Central AC (bldg supplies chilled water)” and “this…unit features central air conditioning”), and these statements come from different agents across different units. Combined with MLS checkbox data showing central A/C selected in the majority of current listings, the evidence strongly confirms this feature remains in place.

Multiple MLS records (19 of 20) list concrete (CONCRE) as a construction material for One Waterfront Towers, strongly indicating a reinforced concrete high-rise structure. Current public remarks further confirm this with phrasing like 'concrete construction for quiet and privacy.' The consistency across many listings and agents supports that the building is concrete-built rather than this being a checkbox error.

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.

Several listings describe One Waterfront Towers as “twin 45-story towers on 2.45 acres” and a “twin luxury condo towers completed in 1989,” with one unit noting “concrete construction for quiet and privacy,” all of which inherently indicate conventional above-ground high-rise construction. Although only 4 of 20 MLS entries explicitly check ABOGRO in construction_materials, no remarks mention any alternative or partially subterranean building form, so the building can be treated as above-ground construction with moderate confidence. The sparse ABOGRO checkbox usage likely reflects inconsistent agent data entry rather than differing construction types within the project.

I looked for any mention of 'short-term rental', 'vacation rental', 'NUC', 'TVU', or '30-day minimum' and found none, and the building is consistently framed as a residential condo, not a hotel-type property. Based on the absence of STR marketing and typical local regulations, short-term rentals are likely not allowed.
There is no evidence that units participate in any hotel-operated rental pool program. Combined with the lack of STR indications, this strongly supports that no hotel pool exists here.
Listings consistently suggest owners freely occupy or rent their units without obligation to join a rental pool. This makes a mandatory hotel pool program effectively ruled out.

Listings repeatedly describe the property as fee simple, not leasehold, so there is no applicable lease expiration date. I searched for phrases like 'lease expires', 'leasehold', 'land lease to', and found none.
Public remarks clearly indicate that the building is VA loan approved, with several listings offering VA assumable loans. This directly confirms VA financing eligibility for the condo project.
Multiple listings discuss strong building management, and one clearly specifies that the building is 'FULLY INSURED' including hurricane and other coverage. This direct statement supports a high-confidence conclusion that the HOA carries full building insurance (walls-in/comprehensive).
Multiple listings explicitly state that both the building and individual units have fire sprinklers, using language such as “Building and unit equipped with fire sprinklers,” “The building is … sprinklered,” and “Fire sprinkler system in unit.” MLS checkbox data (FIRSPR on 12 of 20 listings) aligns with these remarks across different agents and units. This provides strong, building-wide evidence that a fire sprinkler system is present.
All remarks were checked for explicit confirmation that the building has passed a formal fire/life safety evaluation, but none were found. Sprinkler references alone are not sufficient to infer an FLSE pass, so this is set to false in the absence of any direct evidence.

Well over 30 of the provided listings explicitly mention ocean or harbor views, including phrases like 'panoramic ocean, city, mountain and coastline views,' 'Great buy!...breathtaking ocean views from every window,' and 'ocean facing unit...sweeping views of the ocean.' Multiple high-floor, corner, and penthouse units emphasize unobstructed or panoramic ocean outlooks. Evidence is consistent across many agents and unit types, strongly confirming that this building offers ocean-view units.
More than a dozen listings call out mountains in the view mix, such as 'ocean, mountain and city views,' 'Ko’olau mountains to the glistening waters of Honolulu Harbor,' and 'expansive & stunning unobstructed views of the ocean, city and mountain from every room.' These references span both Mauka and Makai towers and various floors. The consistency across units shows the building clearly offers mountain-view residences.
No analysis available
Dozens of listings highlight city or urban vistas using phrases like 'city and ocean views,' 'city lights views,' and 'overlooking the city, cruise ships & beautiful sunset.' Many units describe broad panoramas from harbor to city skyline and downtown. This repeated emphasis across many agents confirms strong city views are a defining feature of the building.
Several listings—especially high-floor and penthouse units—explicitly mention 'ocean, mountain & coastline views,' 'ocean, coastline, sunset, and city lights views,' and 'ocean, city, mountain and coastline views.' These coastline references go beyond generic 'ocean' wording and are repeated across different units. This confirms that some residences enjoy clear views along the shoreline, so coastline views should be considered a building feature.

Several listings specifically reference sunrise-related views, including 'east sunrise mountain, Diamond Head, ocean, city and sunset views' and 'Enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets all from this residence.' While not every unit mentions sunrise, the explicit descriptions from multiple high-floor corner units confirm that the building offers sunrise-view orientations. Buyers seeking sunrise exposure would reasonably target this building.
Well over 25 listings explicitly promote sunset viewing, with language like 'unobstructed ocean sunset views,' 'gorgeous evening sunsets,' 'Fantastic Sunset views,' and 'watching the Friday night fireworks over Waikiki.' Many units highlight sunset from large lanais and floor-to-ceiling windows facing Honolulu Harbor. Sunset viewing is clearly one of the primary selling points of this property across many agents and unit types.
No analysis available
At least one unit description clearly notes watching Friday night Waikiki fireworks from the lanai. This directly supports that some units in the building enjoy fireworks views.

At least three recent listings explicitly confirm on-site building management, using phrases such as “on-site resident manager,” “team of on-site managers and security officers,” and noting a “2024 Residential Manager of the Year” award. Combined with MLS data showing 18 of 20 listings checking the resident manager amenity, the evidence strongly supports that One Waterfront Towers has an on-site resident manager. This is consistently described across different agents and time frames, indicating a stable building feature.
