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.

Although some remarks mention both investors and first-time homebuyers, none give any numeric or descriptive estimate of owner-occupancy. Without explicit percentages or clear statements (e.g., 'mostly owner-occupied'), the owner-occupancy rate is unknown.
There is clear evidence the building has at least one elevator, but no listing specifies the number of elevators (e.g., '2 elevators', 'four elevators'). Because the feature requires an exact count and none is given, the number of elevators remains unknown.

Multiple listings note gas appliances (e.g., “gas stove”, “gas oven”) and 15/18 MLS records mark gas as included in the association fee. A detailed maintenance-fee breakdown only carves out electricity as separately billed, which supports gas being covered by the maintenance fee.

All 18 MLS listings report sewer included in the association fee and none suggest separate sewer charges. This uniform pattern across multiple agents strongly supports that sewer is covered by the maintenance fees.
Every listing (18/18) reports water included in the HOA/maintenance fees, with no text suggesting separate water charges. The consistency across all listings and agents indicates water is reliably covered by the maintenance fee.
Multiple listings explicitly reference shared BBQ amenities, e.g., 'guest parking, bbq areas' and 'guest parking and bbq area', indicating building-level barbecue facilities. In addition, 13 of 18 MLS entries have BBQ checked, suggesting consistent agent recognition rather than a one-off error. Evidence from both remarks and MLS checkboxes supports that the building offers common BBQ areas.

Remarks were scanned for 'surfboard storage,' 'board storage,' or similar language, and there were no mentions. There is no evidence that the building offers dedicated surfboard storage.

The majority of MLS listings (14 out of 18) indicate a trash chute (TRACHU) in the amenities, and no remarks contradict this. Trash chutes are a common, often unremarked building feature, so their absence from narrative remarks is not unusual. The consistent MLS checkbox data across many listings strongly supports that the building has a trash chute system.

Searched remarks for any reference to a pool, especially 'salt water pool' or 'saltwater pool,' and found none. With no pool mentioned at all, a saltwater pool is very unlikely.
Multiple listings explicitly advertise in-unit laundry, with phrases like “in-unit washer and dryer,” “in unit washer/dryer,” and “Completely appointed with in-unit washer and dryer.” Combined with MLS checkbox data (16 of 18 listings including washer/dryer), this is strong cross-listing evidence that some units in the building offer in-unit laundry. Buyers searching for condos with in-unit laundry should consider this building.
No analysis available
Searched for references to coin-op, paid, or card-operated laundry and found none. All laundry mentions are in-unit, so there is no evidence of paid community laundry facilities.
Remarks were checked for phrases like 'laundry on each floor' or 'laundry room on every floor' and none were found. All mentions of laundry are for in-unit machines, suggesting there is likely no community laundry on every floor.

Multiple listings explicitly describe covered parking, including phrases like 'Assigned secure covered parking is accessible from either Piikoi or Liholiho streets', '2 COVERED, SECURED parking', '1 assigned covered parking stall', and 'covered parking'. Combined with 11 of 18 MLS entries using covered/garage-type codes, there is strong, multi-agent evidence that the building offers covered parking for at least some units.
While many units clearly include assigned or covered parking, there is no explicit indication that stalls are deeded/owned with the unit. I searched for phrases like 'deeded parking', 'owned stall', and 'parking included in deed' and found none, so deeded parking is assumed not present based solely on remarks.
No analysis available
The remarks describe ground lease rent and detailed maintenance fee breakdowns but say nothing about a distinct monthly parking fee. I looked for terms such as 'parking fee', 'monthly parking charge', and 'parking rental' and did not find any, so the parking fee amount is unknown.

Listings frequently discuss assigned and tandem parking, guest parking, and secured parking access, but never mention a parking waitlist system. I searched for 'parking waitlist' and similar phrases with no results, so a waitlist is assumed not in use based on current information.
No analysis available
Multiple remarks explicitly mention fob-secured or key fob entry, which is a form of card/fob access. This provides strong evidence the building uses an electronic card/fob security system.
No analysis available
Text was checked for 'security patrol,' 'roving security,' or similar phrases, and none were found. Security appears to be via gated/secured access rather than active patrols.

About half of the current MLS listings (9/18) have the ACWIUN checkbox selected, which denotes window air conditioning units. While remarks do not explicitly say 'window AC,' one listing references split ACs, showing that unit-level AC installations are present and allowed. Given multiple independent MLS entries marking window AC and no remarks contradicting it, it is reasonable to treat window AC as available in at least some units in this building.
All 18 current MLS listings for this building indicate CONCRE in the construction_materials field, suggesting consistent agent reporting across multiple units and timeframes. The building is described as a high-rise condo in Makiki, a context where reinforced concrete structures are typical. There are no remarks or user verifications contradicting concrete construction, so the evidence strongly supports that the building is constructed with concrete.

Nothing in the listings indicates that short-term or vacation rentals are legally permitted in this building, and there are no references to NUC/TVU or hotel-style operations. I searched for explicit STR terms and found none, so STRs are treated as not allowed based on the absence of any supporting evidence.
The building is marketed as a conventional residential/long-term investment condo with no tie-ins to hotel branding or rental pool programs. I searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'rental program', and hotel brand references and found none, so a hotel pool is considered not present.
There are no remarks suggesting mandatory participation in a rental or hotel pool, such as 'required to participate' or 'must be in rental program'. Given the lack of any rental pool references and the apparent non-STR nature of the building, mandatory pool participation is considered not applicable.

Numerous independent listings consistently state that the ground lease expires in 2066, including one with an exact date (April 1, 2066). Given the repeated, specific references, 2066 is taken as the lease expiry year.
The listings do not reference VA loan approval or VA-specific financing options. I searched for terms like 'VA approved', 'VA loans', and 'VA financing' and found no mentions, so VA approval is assumed not applicable based on current remarks.
All listings were reviewed for any mention of comprehensive or walls-in HOA coverage and none were present. In the absence of explicit confirmation, the building is assumed not to be fully insured by the HOA per the given guidance.

Listings were checked for phrases like 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', or 'passed fire inspection' and none were found. With no explicit evidence of a passed evaluation, this is marked as not passed by default under the provided rules.

Multiple listings explicitly mention 'city views', 'cityscape', or 'beautiful city views', and one describes 'expansive cityscape... stunning evening city lights' from the lanai. MLS checkbox data aligns with the remarks, with 11 of 18 listings tagged with CITY in the view descriptions. This consistent pattern across many units and agents indicates that the building offers units with city views.

At least one unit explicitly advertises the ability to watch fireworks from its lanai, indicating the building offers fireworks views from units. This matches the requirement for a fireworks view from the building itself.

Multiple listings explicitly mention a resident manager, including phrases like “Resident Manger on-site with regular business hours,” “Manager on site,” and “an on-site resident manager.” At least five separate remarks, plus 14/18 MLS amenity checkboxes, consistently describe this feature across different agents and unit types. Evidence strongly supports that the building has an on-site resident manager available to residents.
