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.

I searched for explicit owner-occupancy percentages and clear building-level statements (percentages or 'majority owner occupied') and found none. Some remarks reference owner-occupied units on specific floors, but no overall percent for the building is provided, so the building-level owner-occupancy is unknown.
I searched all public remarks for explicit counts (numeric or spelled-out) and found none. Remarks reference private penthouse elevator entrances and an elevator-related assessment, but there is no clear statement of how many elevators serve the towers, so the count is 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 (12/20 per MLS) and many public remarks explicitly reference central A/C being part of building services (phrases include "Central AC" and "maintenance fee includes A/C"). The repeated, explicit mentions across different listings provide strong corroboration that central air is included in the maintenance fees.
Strong evidence across the MLS: 16 of 20 listings list CABTV in association_fee_includes and public remarks explicitly state "maintenance fee includes basic cable" and "Maintenance fee includes A/C CABLE, INTERNET, SEWER, AND WATER." The language appears repeatedly across listings (likely some agent copy/paste) but is consistent and confirms cable is included in the HOA fees.
Clear evidence across listings: 17 of 20 MLS entries list common electric as included, and public remarks explicitly state "Total monthly fees... + common electric" and describe how electricity is billed, indicating common area electric is part of HOA fees or managed through the maintenance fee structure. Multiple listings and consistent phrasing support a high-confidence inclusion.

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.
Strong and consistent evidence: 17 of 20 MLS listings list internet service in association_fee_includes and multiple public remarks explicitly state "internet included" or "maintenance fee includes ... INTERNET." The repeated explicit mentions across listings (though some copy/paste likely) confirm internet service is included in the HOA fees.
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.
20 of 20 listings include BBQ amenities with repeated phrases such as 'BBQ cabanas', 'BBQ pavilions', 'BBQ areas' and 'BBQ with cabanas' across many agent remarks, showing strong, consistent evidence that communal grilling facilities are provided.

15 of 20 listings mark car wash with multiple remarks explicitly stating 'car wash area' or 'car wash', providing moderate-to-strong evidence that the building offers a communal car wash facility.
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.

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.
16 of 20 current listings reference exercise facilities (e.g., 'fitness center', 'indoor exercise room', 'two gyms', 'outdoor fitness area'), with consistent descriptions across multiple agents and unit remarks indicating a shared building fitness amenity. Evidence is strong and corroborated by both MLS checkboxes and many independent public remarks.
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.
Majority of listings (15 of 20 in MLS data) explicitly mention private lanais or covered lanais—key phrases include 'covered lanai', 'open lanai', '130 sq ft lanai', and '235 sq ft lanai'. Evidence is consistent across multiple agent remarks and consistently describes usable outdoor space (covered patios/decks/lanais), so the building should be listed as having patio/deck amenities.

16 of 20 listings reference a shared recreation/amenity deck (phrases like 'recreation deck', 'amenity deck', 'expansive rec deck'), consistently described alongside pool, cabanas, and lounge areas, indicating a substantial common recreation area.
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.

11 of 20 listings mention a sauna (phrases like 'sauna', 'spa sauna', 'sauna with pool area') across several independent remarks, providing clear evidence the building includes a shared sauna amenity.
No analysis available
I searched comments for surf/board storage phrases and combinations (e.g., 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'bike and surfboard storage'). Listings reference bike racks/parking and other amenities but do not mention any dedicated surfboard storage.
19 of 20 listings mention tennis facilities with frequent, detailed references like '2 tennis courts', 'tennis/pickleball courts', and 'lined for pickleball', appearing across multiple agents' public remarks — strong corroboration of on-site courts.
16 of 20 MLS entries indicate a trash chute; while public remarks seldom mention 'trash chute', the consistent MLS checkbox usage across many listings and absence of contrary statements provides moderate-to-high confidence that a trash chute/refuse chute system exists in the building.
No analysis available

14 of 20 listings mention whirlpool/Jacuzzi/hot tub (quotes: 'Jacuzzi spa', 'heated pool & whirlpool spa', 'hot tub'), with consistent independent mentions across listings supporting a shared whirlpool/spa amenity.
Strong building-level evidence for a pool: multiple unit listings repeatedly mention a pool/swimming pool (present in amenity lists and public remarks). The pool is described across many agents' remarks as a shared, resort-style amenity (tennis, BBQ, fitness, pool) indicating broad consensus rather than an isolated copy/paste.
Multiple listings explicitly state the pool is heated — common quotations include “heated pool,” “heated swimming pool,” “heated saltwater pool,” and “newly renovated heated pool.” This explicit, repeated language from numerous agents provides strong, building-level confirmation that the pool is heated.
Listings explicitly refer to a 'heated saltwater pool' in at least one remark and consistently mention a heated pool across many listings, supporting that the 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
I scanned all remarks for terms indicating paid community laundry (coin-op, card-operated, quarters, laundry fee). The listings instead reference in-unit washers/dryers and washer/dryer hookups; there is no explicit statement that any community laundry exists or requires payment.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry'. Listings repeatedly reference in-unit washer/dryer or washer/dryer hookups but do not state there are community laundry facilities on every floor.
No analysis available
Strong evidence that the building provides assigned parking: historical MLS data indicated 18/20 listings had ASSIGN, and multiple current remarks explicitly state 'assigned parking stalls', 'two assigned parking stalls', 'titled parking stalls', or 'one assigned covered parking stall' (appearing across many unit remarks). Mentions come from different agents and listings rather than a single copy/paste, supporting high confidence.
Strong evidence that the building offers covered parking: historical MLS data indicated 19/20 listings had covered parking flags, and many current public remarks explicitly refer to 'covered parking stalls', '2 covered stalls', or 'covered and secured parking' across multiple listings and agents, indicating covered parking is a standard building feature.
Multiple listings explicitly state parking stalls are titled/assigned with the unit, supporting that parking is deeded/owned rather than rented.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for phrases like "parking fee", "monthly parking", "parking rental" and similar terms and found no explicit monthly parking charge. Multiple listings explicitly state covered/assigned parking stalls are included, but none state a separate monthly parking fee amount.
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 the remarks for "parking waitlist", "waiting list for parking", and similar phrases; none were found. Given the many references to assigned/covered parking stalls and guest parking and no mention of a waitlist, it's likely there is no building-level parking waitlist mentioned in these public remarks.
No analysis available
I searched for terms like 'key card access', 'fob access', and 'card reader'. While the remarks frequently mention 24/7 security, security guards, secured parking, and cameras, there is no explicit indication of a card/fob electronic access system in the public remarks.
Strong, consistent evidence across listings: ~19 of 20 listings reference building security with phrases such as "24/7 security", "24-hour security", "24 hr security", and "security guards" (e.g., "24/7 secured building", "24-hour security", "security guards"). This matches prior MLS checkbox data (19/20) and appears in multiple agents' remarks, indicating a building-level staffed security presence.
Numerous listings mention 24/7 security, security guards/officers, and on-site security/resident manager, indicating active security patrol/service in the building.
No analysis available
Central air is a building feature: 14/20 current listings check central AC (ACCEN/CENAC) and 17/20 include ACCEN in inclusions, consistent with prior high confidence. Numerous agent remarks explicitly mention "central A/C" or similar (e.g., "Central AC (bldg supplies chilled water)", "central A/C"), indicating strong, corroborated evidence across multiple listings rather than isolated copy/paste.

Strong evidence that the building is concrete: 18 of 20 current listings show CONCRE in construction_materials and prior data showed 19 of 20. Public remarks repeatedly reference concrete (quotes include "concrete construction for quiet and privacy" and "rebuilt from the concrete up"), and the building completion dates (1989–1990) are consistent with reinforced concrete high-rises. This evidence is robust across many agent listings rather than isolated copy‑paste.

Steel-frame construction is unlikely: only 2 of 20 current listings have STEFRA checked and there are no public remarks mentioning "steel frame" or similar. Given the strong, consistent evidence for concrete construction across most listings and the lack of any descriptive remarks supporting steel framing, the STEFRA entries appear to be erroneous copy‑paste rather than a legitimate building feature.
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 searched for terms including "short-term rental", "vacation rental", "NUC", "TVU", and "30-day minimum" and found no explicit statements permitting STRs. Several ads reference long-term rental income or investor use but provide no evidence that short-term/vacation rentals are permitted; therefore STR allowed is marked false with medium confidence.
Because there is no evidence STRs or hotel rental programs exist and STR is not indicated, there is no sign of a hotel rental pool participation.
No listings state a mandatory rental-pool requirement; combined with lack of STR evidence, mandatory hotel pool is unsupported.

Building is described as fee simple throughout the remarks, so lease expiry is not applicable. I searched for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease', or specific expiration years and found none.
Public remarks repeatedly reference VA-assumable financing and VA loan approval for the building/units, clearly indicating VA financing is available/approved.
The public remarks explicitly state the building is fully insured for hurricane and other insurance, which directly matches the 'insured_fully' definition (walls-in/full insurance). This explicit language supports a high-confidence true value.
High-confidence evidence across multiple listings confirms sprinklers: at least several agent remarks explicitly state "Building and unit equipped with fire sprinklers," "sprinklered," and "sprinklers inside of unit." Historical MLS checkbox data (12/20) also indicated FIRSPR; current remarks consistently reference the feature rather than appearing as a single copy/paste error, so include fire_sprinklers=true.
I looked for explicit FLSE or equivalent certification language and found none. While multiple listings note fire sprinklers and fire-safety-related features, there is no explicit remark stating the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation, so FLSE pass is not confirmed.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Strong evidence across the remarks: dozens of listings explicitly mention ocean or harbor views (quotes include "ocean facing unit", "sweeping ocean...", and "panoramic ocean view"). Evidence appears across multiple agents and unit descriptions, consistent with historical high confidence that the building offers ocean-view units.
Multiple listings explicitly cite mountain or mauka views (phrases include "mountain views", "Ko'olau mountains", and "mauka to makai"). The recurrence across many unit remarks from different listings supports high confidence that the building offers mountain-view units.
No analysis available
Numerous listings mention city or downtown views (quotes include "downtown skyline", "city lights", and "overlooking the city"). Consistent, repeated agent remarks indicate the building offers units with city views.
Multiple listings explicitly mention "coastline" or "coastline views" (examples: "ocean, coastline, sunset, and city", "coastline views"). These repeated mentions across listings indicate the building offers coastline-view units.

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.
Many listings explicitly highlight sunset viewing (phrases such as "sunset views", "unobstructed ocean sunset views", and "gorgeous evening sunsets"). The repetition across numerous listings supports high confidence that the building offers sunset views.
No analysis available
Multiple unit descriptions explicitly note the ability to watch Friday night Waikiki fireworks from the lanai/units, supporting that the building offers fireworks views from units.

Strong, consistent evidence across many listings supports an on-site/resident manager: multiple remarks state "on-site resident manager," "on-site mgr.," or that the building is "managed by an excellent team of on-site managers and security officers." Given prior MLS prevalence (18/20) and repeated agent remarks, include resident_manager=true.
