The Ritz-Carlton Residences
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.

Building context lists owner_occupancy as 5.00. I searched all public remarks for explicit owner-occupancy statements or percentages and found none. Per the numeric-field rules, I kept the existing value with low confidence and noted the absence of corroborating remarks.
The building context lists 5 elevators. I searched all remarks for phrases like '4 elevators', 'five elevators', 'multiple elevators', or 'elevator' and found no mentions. Per rules, I kept the existing numeric value with low confidence due to lack of corroborating mentions in the remarks.
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.
A minority of current MLS records (5 of 20) have 'ACCEN' (central A/C included) checked, but public remarks across listings do not reference 'central AC included' or 'AC in HOA'. This suggests central AC-in-fees may apply to some units or was inconsistently reported by agents; included with moderate confidence for buyers searching for units where it might apply.
MLS association_fee_includes has 'CABTV' checked in 17 of 20 current listings and historical data treated cable inclusion as High confidence. Public remarks do not explicitly say 'cable included', but the strong and consistent MLS checkbox pattern across multiple listings (likely different units/agents) supports including cable as an item covered by the association fees.
MLS checkbox history and current listings show common area electricity checked across multiple listings (11/20 currently; historically as many as 13/20), though public remarks do not explicitly mention 'common area electric included.' The evidence is consistent but less ubiquitous than other utilities, so inclusion is indicated with moderate confidence and a note to verify if needed.

10 of 20 current listings have HOTWAT marked in association fee includes, suggesting some degree of building-level hot water inclusion, but this is not corroborated in the public remarks and lacks prior historical confirmation—evidence is moderate and implies inclusion but should be verified with management.
19 of 20 current MLS listings have 'INTSER' (internet/service) checked and historical data flagged internet inclusion as High confidence. Although public remarks seldom state 'internet included', the overwhelming and consistent MLS checkbox presence across listings indicates internet service is included in the association/maintenance fees.
No analysis available
MLS association_fee_includes has 'SEWER' checked in 16 of 20 current listings and historical data treated sewer inclusion as High confidence. Remarks do not explicitly state 'sewer included', but the consistent MLS reporting across many listings supports including sewer as part of the association fees.
Water is indicated as included in association fees in 16 of 20 current MLS listings and historical records gave water inclusion High confidence. While public remarks rarely say 'water included', the consistent MLS checkbox pattern across multiple listings supports treating water as included in the fees.

Strong, consistent evidence: 19 of 20 MLS entries list concierge in amenities and numerous public remarks explicitly state 'concierge,' 'dedicated concierge service,' or '24-hour concierge.' Multiple agents across listings reference concierge and related services (e.g., 'legendary Ritz-Carlton concierge'), so this feature is well-supported by both MLS data and agent remarks.
No analysis available
Historical data previously marked doorman as High confidence and 2 of 20 current MLS listings have the doorman amenity checked, but none of the public remarks explicitly say 'doorman' or 'lobby attendant.' Agents repeatedly reference concierge, bell service, valet and 'full-service building,' which may imply a staffed entry but the explicit term 'doorman' is absent; evidence is mixed and appears partly from MLS checkbox/copy-paste.
Strong, consistent evidence: nearly every listing advertises a fitness center/gym (phrases like "fitness center", "gym", "fitness room", "state-of-the-art fitness center"). At least ~18 listings explicitly mention fitness/gym facilities; evidence is repeated across multiple agent remarks and unit descriptions.
Listings consistently advertise valet parking/valet service but none of the public remarks describe a limo/house car or chauffeur service; the single MLS checkbox appears unsupported by the remarks and likely reflects checkbox inconsistency.
Good evidence: multiple listings mention "meeting rooms", "business-conference center", or "business center" (several agent remarks), indicating on-site meeting/conference facilities are available to residents.
Strong evidence across multiple listings: historical MLS data indicates 15/20 listings listed patio/deck amenities and current remarks repeatedly mention 'lanai', 'private lanai', 'covered lanai', and a penthouse 'rooftop deck'. Mentions appear across many different unit remarks and agents, indicating this is a building-level amenity rather than a single-unit exception.

Mixed evidence: historical MLS data and some agents checked the recreation-area box (7 of 20 listings), but none of the public remarks explicitly say "recreation area", "rec area", or similar. Inclusion is retained based on historical/high confidence, though current textual support is lacking.
No analysis available
Very strong evidence: many listings name on-site restaurants and dining options ("Sushi Sho", "La Vie", "Quiora", "Dean & Deluca", "cafe/deli"), with at least ~15 listings explicitly referencing on-site dining—consistent across agents and unit descriptions.
No analysis available
Moderate-to-strong evidence: several listings explicitly mention "sauna" or "saunas" in the amenity lists (e.g., "full-service spa with sauna", "pools with saunas"), supporting presence of a sauna on the property even though only a few MLS checkboxes are set.
No analysis available
Searched for surfboard- or board-related storage amenities. Found no references in the listings; therefore surfboard storage is not supported by the public remarks.
No analysis available
No supporting remarks: despite some MLS checkbox entries historically marking a trash chute, none of the public remarks mention a trash/garbage chute. With low prior confidence and no current remarks to support it, the trash-chute flag appears to be an erroneous/uncorroborated listing checkbox.
Strong, consistent evidence: 17 of 20 current listings list VALET in MLS amenities and many public remarks across multiple listings explicitly state 'valet parking', 'valet service', or 'complimentary valet parking for owners'. The repeated, detailed mentions from different listings/agents indicate this is a building-level amenity rather than copy-paste error, so include valet=true with high confidence.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly reference whirlpools/Jacuzzis (phrases like "whirlpool", "Jacuzzi spa", "two whirlpools"). At least several agent remarks note whirlpools as part of the pool/spa complex, providing strong cross-listing confirmation.
Strong, consistent evidence: ~multiple listings (dozens of remarks across the feed) explicitly mention 'two infinity-edge pools', 'two pools', 'adult only infinity-pool', 'family pool', 'resort-style pools', 'twin infinity pools' and similar phrasing. Nearly all agents reference two pool areas ('two sparkling pools', 'two infinity pools'), indicating building-level shared pools available to residents.
Mixed evidence: 6 of 20 MLS listings include a HEAPOO amenity code suggesting heated pools, but none of the public remarks explicitly state 'heated'—remarks only reference 'infinity pools', 'adult pool', 'family pool', 'resort-style pools', 'sparkling pools' and 'refreshing pools'. Because the amenity codes indicate heating for some listings but remarks don't confirm, pool_heated is included with moderate confidence (6/20 coded; no direct remark confirmation).
Searched for 'salt water pool', 'saltwater', 'saline', etc. Found no mentions. Although pools are repeatedly noted, there is no evidence they are salt water.
All 20 current MLS listings for this building list washer/dryer as an inclusion. Public remarks repeatedly state phrases such as "washer/dryer", "in-unit washer and dryer", and "washer & dryer in the unit" across multiple listings and agents, giving strong, building-wide evidence that some units offer in-unit laundry.
No analysis available
Searched for terms indicating paid community laundry (coin-op, card-operated, 'paid laundry', quarters). None were found; most listings mention in-unit laundry. No evidence that any community laundry (paid) exists.
Searched public remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', or 'floor-by-floor laundry'. Found no evidence; numerous listings instead note in-unit washer/dryer. Therefore community laundry on every floor is not supported by the remarks.
Multiple listings (dozens of the provided remarks) explicitly reference valet parking or complimentary valet for owners — common phrases include "valet parking," "complimentary valet parking," and "valet service for owners." Evidence is consistent across many agents' remarks and aligns with prior high-confidence data that the Ritz-Carlton Residences offers owner valet parking as a building-level service.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for 'deeded parking', 'owned parking', 'parking included in deed' and found none; listings repeatedly reference valet parking and complimentary valet for owners, which suggests parking is not described as deeded in the public remarks.
No analysis available
Searched for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', dollar amounts or rental costs and found none; remarks reference valet/complimentary valet but do not provide a monthly parking fee, so the parking fee is unknown.
Multiple listings highlight full-service 'valet parking' in a five-star hotel operation, and some specifically distinguish owner perks (e.g., 'complimentary valet parking for owners'), indicating a broader valet system that serves non-owner visitors too. Coupled with some MLS entries marking GUEST parking, this supports that guest parking is available via the building’s valet program.

Searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', 'join waitlist' and found no references; absence of mention leads to a default false with low confidence.
No analysis available
Searched for 'key card access', 'fob', 'card reader', and similar phrases. None were found in the public remarks, so card/fob access is not evidenced.
MLS amenity checkbox shows 'security guard' on 8 of 20 current listings, but none of the public remarks explicitly state 'security guard,' '24-hour security,' or similar phrasing. This suggests the feature may exist or is being reported via checklist copying rather than described in remarks; evidence is moderate and primarily from MLS checkbox data.
Searched for wording indicating a security patrol or roving security. Found no explicit mentions; therefore no evidence of a security patrol service in the public remarks.
No analysis available
MLS metadata strongly supports central air: current data shows 16 of 20 listings with ACCEN/CENAC and all 20 list ACCEN in inclusions; historically 18/20 had the checkbox. None of the public remarks explicitly state HVAC details or a removal/installation, so the evidence across multiple agent listings (likely copy/paste but consistently present) supports including central building air conditioning.

No analysis available
Strong evidence the building is concrete: 17 of 20 current listings check 'CONCRE' and historical data rated concrete with high confidence. While public remarks do not frequently say 'concrete' explicitly, the consistent MLS checkbox across multiple listings (multiple agents) indicates the building is constructed with concrete.
Little-to-no evidence for double-wall construction: only 3 of 20 current listings check 'DOUWAL' and none of the many public remarks mention 'double wall' or similar. This pattern suggests agent checkbox inconsistencies or errors rather than a building-wide double-wall construction feature; therefore the feature is omitted.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Mixed evidence for steel-frame: 6 of 20 current listings check 'STEFRA' but the majority identify concrete. No public remarks explicitly state 'steel frame.' Presence in several MLS records suggests some steel-frame elements or inconsistent checkbox use by agents; confidence is moderate (implied rather than explicitly stated).
Insufficient evidence for concrete slab foundation: only 4 of 20 listings check 'SLAB' and none of the public remarks mention 'concrete slab' or similar. The limited and isolated MLS checkbox usage, combined with no supporting agent remarks, suggests the slab checkbox is likely inconsistently applied rather than a confirmed building feature.

Numerous public remarks explicitly state that units participate in or are eligible for the Ritz-Carlton hotel rental program/ hotel pool, and others reference optional participation. This provides strong evidence that short-term/vacation rentals are allowed.
Public remarks repeatedly mention on-site hotel rental program/hotel pool managed by the Ritz-Carlton and indicate units can be part of that program, supporting that the building participates in a hotel rental pool.
Multiple remarks explicitly note units that are not in the hotel pool and describe participation as optional or re-addable; therefore hotel pool participation is not mandatory for all units.

Searched for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease', 'leasehold', and explicit years (e.g., 2050) but found no mentions. Therefore the lease expiry year is unknown.
Searched all public remarks for 'VA approved', 'VA financing', 'VA loans accepted' and found no references. Because this feature is determined only from public remarks, we mark it false with low-to-medium confidence.
I reviewed the remarks for explicit statements about the HOA providing full/walls-in insurance (e.g., 'fully insured', 'walls-in coverage') and found no such language. Because there is no explicit mention and no current verification, this boolean is set to false with medium confidence.
Nine of 20 current MLS listings include the FIRSPR (sprinkler) amenity checkbox, and at least one public remark explicitly mentions "in-unit sprinklers." Multiple agent listings consistently checked the amenity and one listing text directly states the feature, so evidence is strong that the building offers fire sprinklers.
I searched the remarks for explicit language indicating the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation (e.g., 'FLSE passed', 'passed fire inspection', 'life safety compliant') and found none. With no explicit mention and no current verified value, the feature is set to false with medium confidence per the guidance.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Extensive, consistent evidence in the listing remarks confirms the building offers ocean views. Dozens of unit listings explicitly state "ocean view", "Pacific Ocean", "sweeping ocean views" or "ocean-facing front-corner residence" (examples: "Enjoy amazing Ocean Views", "wake up to sweeping views over the Pacific Ocean"). This evidence is strong across multiple agents and units, so buyers searching for ocean-view units should consider this building.
No analysis available
Multiple listings call out 'Diamond Head' views (e.g., 'stunning ocean and Diamond Head views', 'panoramic views of the ocean, Diamond Head, and city skyline'), showing consistent, direct mentions across listings and indicating the building offers Diamond Head-view units.
At least 8–10 listings specifically advertise combined ocean and city/city lights views, including wording like 'stunning ocean and city views,' 'larger studio with amazing ocean and city view,' and 'relax & enjoy the beautiful ocean & city views overlooking Fort DeRussy Park.' Several listings also note 'sweeping ocean, park, mountain & city lights view' and 'corner-end ... with sweeping ocean, park, mountain & Waikiki city views.' This consistent pattern across many units and agents confirms that city views are a notable feature of the building.
Multiple listings describe 'coastline' or similar shoreline panoramas (for example, 'panoramic Pacific Ocean views stretch across Honolulu's southern coastline' and 'breathtaking coastline views'), indicating the building offers units with coastline/shoreline perspectives.
At least 10–15 listings highlight outlooks over Fort DeRussy Park, 'green park vistas,' or 'tree top views,' often paired with ocean views. These descriptions show that many units face directly onto substantial landscaped/green space rather than only city or ocean, giving a garden‑like visual environment. Even though the MLS view field doesn’t label 'GARDEN,' the consistent park and treetop view language across units supports treating garden/green views as an available building feature.
No analysis available
No supporting evidence: none of the listing remarks mention 'marina', 'harbor', 'yacht harbor', or similar terms, and MLS checkbox data shows 0/20 with MARCAN. Given lack of historical support and no remarks, high-confidence correction sets view_marina = false.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly mention sunset or evening views, including phrases like "Watch the sunset and Friday night fireworks" and "sunset views". At least several different unit remarks reference sunset/Friday-night-fireworks viewing opportunities, indicating the building offers units with sunset/western exposure and evening vistas appealing to buyers seeking sunset views.
No analysis available
Public remarks repeatedly and explicitly mention watching Friday night fireworks from the unit/lanai (examples quoted). This provides strong evidence the building offers a fireworks view from units.

Numerous listings across the dataset reference on-site/residence staff and services — agents repeatedly use phrases such as "dedicated Residence Team," "full-time, and very attentive, Ritz-Carlton Residences staff," and list concierge, bell, housekeeping, valet and concierge services. The language is consistent across many agent remarks (appearing in multiple listings), which implies an on-site management/management team even though few listings explicitly say "resident manager." Evidence is implied and repeated (agent copy/paste likely), so inclusion is warranted with moderate-high confidence.
