Queen Emma Gardens
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 owner-occupancy language such as exact percentages, "majority owner occupied," or similar descriptors, but found no relevant mentions. Since this is not stated in the public remarks, the ownership mix remains unknown.
Multiple listings directly confirm that the building has two elevators, matching the current building context. This is strong, explicit evidence from public remarks, so confidence is very high.
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.

Cable inclusion is supported by several listings across the building, including explicit phrases like "maintenance fee includes cable TV" and "Cable bill = $35.12 also billed monthly in the maintenance fee." The repeated wording across different remarks suggests this is a real building feature rather than a one-off agent typo.
Evidence points to common-area electricity being included in the maintenance fee, though not every agent describes it clearly. I found explicit remarks such as "Maintenance fees include electricity" and "common area expenses," alongside several notes that the unit electric is sub-metered, which is consistent with a building-power/common-area inclusion. Overall this looks like a real building-level feature that is sometimes copied into MLS inconsistently.
No analysis available
Most listings and remarks state unit electricity is sub‑metered and billed to owners (many explicit lines: "Electricity is sub-metered" / "billed monthly to owner"), and only a very small number claim electricity is included. MLS checkbox count (1/20) and widespread submeter notes indicate unit electricity is not included in maintenance fees for this building.
CURRENT MLS shows GAS in association_fee_includes for just 2/20 listings and there are no agent remarks mentioning 'gas included' or 'gas in HOA fees.' Given the lack of any supporting remarks and sparse MLS checkbox usage, conclude gas is not a building-level included maintenance item.
Hot water inclusion is very strongly supported by both MLS checkbox data and public remarks. Several listings explicitly list "hot water" among the included maintenance fee items, and there are no remarks suggesting unit water heaters that would contradict it.
Internet inclusion is only weakly supported. One remark references high-speed fiber optic internet and common-area WiFi for residents, but there are very few MLS inclusions and no broad pattern of explicit maintenance-fee internet language. This looks like a possible building amenity, but the evidence is not as strong as for water, sewer, cable, or hot water.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is well supported across the listings. Remarks repeatedly mention "maintenance fees include water, sewer, hot water" or similar bundles, which aligns closely with the current MLS data. This appears to be a stable building-level feature.
Water inclusion is one of the clearest features in the dataset. Numerous listings explicitly say "maintenance fees include water" or bundle it with sewer and hot water, and the MLS data strongly confirms it. This is consistent across many listings and agents.
BBQ amenities are consistently mentioned across the listings, with well over 20 remarks referencing BBQ areas, BBQ grills, BBQ stations, or barbecue/picnic areas. The evidence appears highly consistent across multiple agents and is reinforced by the current MLS pattern showing BBQ in 19 of 20 listings.

Moderate evidence: about 6–9 listings reference community gathering spaces (quotes: 'two Japanese-style tea houses', 'conference/meeting rooms', 'Cards Social Room'). While not always called a 'clubhouse', the reservable tea houses and meeting rooms function as community gathering spaces.
No analysis available
Dog-area evidence is modest but repeated: about 3 of 20 listings have the DGPRK amenity, and several remarks mention "dog walking with dog waste bins" or a "dog-friendly community." This is not as strong as BBQ or jogging-path evidence, but it is consistent enough to treat as a real building pet area amenity.
There is no meaningful remark-level evidence that the building has a doorman or lobby attendant. The only MLS signal is 1/20 listings with DOORMA, while the remarks repeatedly focus on security personnel and never mention a doorman, so this feature is best treated as absent.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Strong evidence: roughly 8–11 listings mention meeting or conference rooms with phrases like 'Conference Room/Cards Social Room' and 'meeting room'. Multiple listings explicitly list 'conference/meeting rooms' and a 'mini-library', indicating shared meeting facilities are available.
Patio/deck amenities are strongly supported across the listings. Dozens of remarks explicitly mention a lanai or balcony, including phrases such as 'enclosed lanai,' 'private lanai,' 'spacious covered lanai,' and 'balcony off the kitchen.' The evidence is consistent across many listings and multiple agents, suggesting this building offers outdoor living space in some units.
This feature is one of the most consistently documented in the building: remarks across the listings repeatedly reference walking/jogging paths, strolling paths, and jogging paths. With 20 of 20 MLS listings showing the amenity and many matching remarks, the evidence is overwhelming and consistent.

Multiple listings describe shared amenity/recreation spaces, including an explicit "recreation area with a full kitchen," along with conference rooms, social rooms, and amenity decks. While wording varies by agent, the repeated references across the set support this as a building feature rather than a one-off unit detail.
Moderately strong evidence: about 8–12 listings reference indoor recreation or social rooms and larger recreation areas (quotes include 'large recreation area', 'recreation area with a full kitchen'). Multiple listings note reservable tea houses and community gathering spaces, supporting inclusion.

Multiple listings explicitly mention building storage: phrases include "storage lockers available for rent", "three additional storage areas", "extra storage closet", and "storage units for rent". These references appear in at least 6 separate public remarks across different agent listings, which along with some MLS checkbox entries indicates the building offers storage/lockers (evidence strong and repeated across multiple agents, not merely a single copy/paste).
I looked for surfboard storage-related terms and also checked for broader storage amenity descriptions that might imply it. The remarks mention storage availability in general, but nothing specifically about surfboard storage. This feature is not confirmed from the remarks.
No analysis available
Trash chute access is directly mentioned in the remarks, including "trash chute access" and a listing noting each tower has a "trash chute." Combined with the strong MLS pattern (18 of 20 listings), this supports the feature with high confidence.
No analysis available
No analysis available
There is no meaningful remark support for a whirlpool/hot tub/spa feature, and the MLS signal is extremely limited at just 1 of 20 listings. Based on the available public remarks, this appears to be a likely MLS copy-paste error rather than a real shared amenity.
Pool access is confirmed across a very large share of the listings: dozens of remarks mention shared swimming facilities, including "two swimming pools," "kiddie pool," "wading pool," and even a "lap pool." This is strong multi-agent, multi-listing evidence and does not look like a copy-paste error; it matches the historically high MLS amenity rate (19/20 listings).
No analysis available
I looked for explicit salt-water pool language such as salt water pool, saltwater pool, or saline pool. The remarks repeatedly mention pools, kiddie pools, and wading pools, but never indicate the pool is salt water. This feature is not confirmed.
No analysis available
Community/shared laundry is strongly supported across the remarks: at least 6+ listings explicitly mention it with phrases like "community laundry," "laundry room," "laundry facilities," and "laundry rooms in each tower." Historical MLS data also shows 16 of 20 current listings with the COMLAU amenity, making this a high-confidence building feature.
I searched for payment-related laundry terms such as coin laundry, coin-op, card-operated, quarters, or laundry fee. The public remarks mention community laundry but do not specify that it is paid. Without explicit payment wording, this cannot be confirmed.
I looked for explicit wording like "laundry on every floor," "each floor," or "floor-by-floor laundry." The remarks only support laundry rooms in the towers/building, not on every floor. So this feature is not confirmed from the public remarks.
No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence supports assigned parking. Dozens of listings mention it across multiple towers and agents, with explicit phrases like '1 assigned and covered parking stall,' 'assigned covered parking stall,' 'assigned tandem parking stalls,' and 'reserved parking stall.' The consistency across remarks suggests this is a true building feature, not a copy-paste error.
There is very strong building-level evidence that Queen Emma Gardens offers covered parking. Many remarks explicitly reference '1 covered parking,' 'covered parking stall,' 'indoor garage parking,' and 'covered resident parking,' across several towers and listing agents. This is consistent and repeated enough to treat covered parking as an established building feature.
I searched for deeded parking language such as deeded, owned stall, or parking included in the deed. The listings only describe assigned or covered stalls, so deeded parking is not evidenced in the remarks.
No analysis available
I looked for parking fee, monthly parking charge, rental parking, or any extra parking cost. The remarks discuss parking availability and stall types, but I found no explicit parking fee.
Guest parking is consistently described across the listings. Numerous remarks reference 'ample guest parking,' 'plenty of guest parking for your family and friends,' and 'parking for guests,' indicating this is a genuine building amenity rather than a checkbox copy/paste issue. The MLS history also strongly supports it, with 17/20 listings marked for guest parking.
No analysis available
Tandem parking is offered for some units: although fewer listings (4/20) show TANDEM, multiple remarks specifically state 'tandem parking' or 'tandem stall' (e.g., 'Bonus 2 parking (tandem) stall', 'assigned covered tandem parking stall'), indicating tandem stalls are present for certain units.
No analysis available
I searched for parking waitlist / waiting list wording and found none. The remarks instead mention ample guest parking and assigned stalls, so there is no evidence of a waitlist system.
No analysis available
The remarks directly reference FOB entry and fob-secured elevators, which clearly indicate card/fob access security. This is strong public-remarks evidence for a security card system. Confidence is very high.
Strong, repeated evidence across the listings confirms on-site security. Multiple agents describe the building as having '24-hour security,' '24/7 security,' 'security patrol,' and 'security monitored grounds,' which matches the high-confidence MLS pattern (18/20 listings with SECGUA).
I searched for security patrol, roving security, or patrolled-building language. The remarks explicitly state 24-hour security patrol and similar wording, which strongly supports this feature. Confidence is very high.

This feature is supported by many listings and appears repeatedly in public remarks across different units. At least several remarks explicitly say "window AC," "newer window AC," or mention a bedroom AC unit, which confirms the building offers units with window-style air conditioning. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and does not look like a one-off copy-paste anomaly.
Concrete construction is strongly supported by the MLS data and the building’s long-running description as a major multi-tower Honolulu project. Across the remarks, there is no contradiction to concrete construction, and the high MLS frequency suggests this is a stable building-level feature.
Double-wall construction is not mentioned in the public remarks, even though some MLS entries check the box. The pattern looks more like unchecked agent data entry than verified building information, so the feature is not confirmed by the remarks.
Hollow tile construction is not evidenced in the public remarks and is effectively absent from the listing descriptions. The single MLS checkbox does not overcome the broad silence across the remarks.
No analysis available
Steel frame construction is not supported by the public remarks, and only 1 of 20 current listings has the checkbox marked. The evidence looks like a one-off MLS data point or copy/paste error rather than a true building feature.
MLS data shows slab checked in 3 of 20 listings, but none of the public remarks mention 'concrete slab' or similar. With sparse MLS checks and no supporting remarks, there is insufficient evidence to assert the building is generally on a concrete slab foundation.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Above-ground construction/site development is strongly supported by the long-standing building description and the repeated references to extensive landscaped grounds, amenities, and tower structures. While only a small number of MLS listings currently check the box, the remarks consistently reinforce that this is an above-ground multi-building complex rather than a below-grade or subterranean-style building.
Brick construction is not supported by the public remarks and appears only once in the MLS data. The absence of any brick-related language across many listings suggests this is likely a copy/paste or checkbox error rather than a true building characteristic.
No analysis available
I searched for short-term rental indicators such as STR, vacation rental, TVU, NUC, or legal short-term rental language, and also looked for clues like 30-day minimum or owner-occupant-only restrictions. I found no evidence that STR is allowed, so this is treated as false.
I looked for hotel pool references such as hotel rental pool, Hilton/Trump/Ritz pool, or hotel-managed operations. None were found in the public remarks, and there is no basis to mark this true.
I searched for wording like mandatory hotel pool, required participation, cannot opt out, or must rent through a program. There were no such mentions, so mandatory pool participation is not supported by the remarks.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for ground lease, leasehold, lease expiry, renewal, and expiration-year language. The remarks instead identify the project as fee simple, which means no land lease expiration applies.
The public remarks directly state that the building is VA approved, which indicates VA financing is accepted. This is explicit and repeated, so confidence is very high.
There is repeated, explicit evidence that the HOA provides comprehensive insurance coverage. The wording "100% Hurricane Insurance Covered" and "fully insured against hurricanes" strongly supports full building insurance coverage.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for fire/life safety compliance language such as FLSE passed, fire safety certified, life safety compliant, and passed fire inspection, but found nothing. With no explicit mention and no current verified value, this remains unknown and is treated as false/absent with low-to-moderate confidence.

Mountain views are repeatedly advertised across the listings, with many units described as having "mountain and city views," "mountains," "Punchbowl," "Diamond Head," or "Koolau" views. Evidence appears strong and consistent across multiple agents, not just a single copied remark.
Multiple current listing remarks (approximately 15 listings) explicitly mention Diamond Head — phrases include 'breathtaking DH and partial ocean view', 'Views of Diamond Head from living area', and 'facing Diamond Head'. The Diamond Head references appear across different agent remarks and towers (Queen Tower/King Tower/Prince Tower), indicating consistent building-level availability rather than isolated copy-paste errors.
City views are consistently marketed throughout the listings, with many remarks saying "city views," "cityscape," "city lights," or "downtown Honolulu" views. The evidence is broad across numerous listings and agents, suggesting this is a real and recurring building feature rather than copy-paste noise.
No analysis available
Multiple unit remarks (dozens across the provided listings) explicitly reference garden or courtyard views and landscaped grounds — e.g., "relaxing view of the garden and koi pond", "overlooks the beautifully landscaped gardens", and "serene garden setting." Historical confidence was High and current agent remarks consistently describe the park-like 8+ acre gardens and koi ponds, indicating strong, building-level garden views for buyers.

Sunrise-oriented views/exposure appear in a minority of listings, but they are mentioned consistently enough to support the feature at the building level. The strongest evidence comes from remarks describing units on the "preferred east-facing side" and references to avoiding afternoon heat, which aligns with morning sun and sunrise views. This looks like a real partial-building feature rather than copy-paste noise.
Sunset views are explicitly stated in multiple listings (examples: "mountain, sunset, and city views", "panoramic views of the mountains, ocean, sunset"). The repeated explicit mentions across different listings provide strong confirmation that some units offer sunset/western exposure.
No analysis available
This is directly supported by multiple remarks saying residents can see Friday fireworks from the building/units. The evidence is explicit and clearly describes a view of the fireworks, not just proximity to them. Confidence is very high.

Strong, consistent evidence across many listings that Queen Emma Gardens has a resident manager on-site. Current remarks mention it directly in multiple ways, including “resident manager,” “on-site Resident Mgr.,” “resident managers office,” and “on-site management,” which appears to be repeated by many agents rather than a one-off note. This aligns with the historical MLS checkbox data and strongly supports the feature as present.
