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.

No analysis available
Penthouse listings are on floor 37, and the MLS floor field records 37 twice, supporting a top residential floor of 37. The single floor-39 listing is treated as an outlier.
The county assessor reports 314 reconciled residential units and 314 residential CPR units for this single-building parcel. The 116 distinct listed unit numbers reflect listing coverage, not the full inventory.
The remarks were searched for numerical owner-occupancy percentages and descriptions such as "majority owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied." Although some listings mention primary residences, second homes, owner use, or owners, none provides a building-wide owner-occupancy percentage. The current value of 5.0 is retained with low confidence because there is no evidence in remarks to confirm or deny it.
The remarks were searched for numeric or spelled-out elevator references such as "4 elevators," "five elevators," and "multiple elevators." No qualifying elevator information was found, so the current value of 5 is retained with low confidence. No evidence in remarks to confirm or deny it.
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.
ACCEN is listed in 3/20 current records, with no public remarks stating that central air conditioning is included in the maintenance fee. The current checkbox coverage is inconsistent, but the prior high-confidence determination weighs in favor of retaining the feature.
CABTV appears in 17/20 current listings. No public remarks explicitly say cable is included, so the evidence is primarily repeated MLS checkbox data and may partly reflect copy-paste, but the high historical confidence supports inclusion.
OTCOEX is marked in 10/20 listings. None of the public remarks mention common-area electricity or building power being included, making this moderate-confidence evidence that may reflect agent checkbox carry-forward.

HOTWAT is present in 9/20 listings, while WTRHTR appears in 2/20. No public remarks explicitly mention hot water inclusion, and the conflicting water-heater coding makes this a moderate-confidence feature rather than a strong conclusion.
INTSER is marked in 17/20 listings. There are no explicit remarks about internet or Wi-Fi being included, so the evidence is primarily MLS checkbox data, but its frequency and high historical confidence support inclusion.
Only 1 of 20 MLS entries lists MARINA, and none of the extensive public remarks mention marina access, boat slips, or related services. The scarcity of checklist entries combined with no textual confirmation across many agent remarks makes it highly likely that marina fees/access are not an included building feature.
SEWER is included in 19/20 current listings. No public remarks specifically mention sewer, but the near-unanimous, historically high-confidence MLS data is strong evidence and is unlikely to represent an isolated agent error.
WATER is marked in 18/20 listings. No remarks explicitly state that water is included, but the strong cross-listing MLS consistency and high historical confidence support retaining this feature.
Two or more listings mention a 'built-in BBQ' or 'built-in BBQ grill,' but both describe a private rooftop deck belonging to a penthouse. Because no shared or generally accessible building BBQ facility is identified, this penthouse-exclusive feature is omitted.

Concierge service is explicitly mentioned across well over 18 listings, including phrases such as “dedicated concierge,” “concierge assistance,” “concierge services,” “24-hour concierge,” and “full-service building with ... concierge.” The evidence is strong across numerous listings and consistently describes a building-wide amenity, not a unit-specific claim.
No analysis available
Zero supplied listings explicitly mention a doorman, door attendant, or lobby attendant. Only 4 of 20 listings currently check the amenity, while the historical assessment was Low, so the limited checkbox presence is not sufficient to establish a building-level doorman service.
Fitness amenities are mentioned across many independent listings, well over 15 of the 20 listings, using phrases such as 'fully equipped fitness center,' 'modern fitness center,' 'fitness room,' and 'gym.' The consistent repetition across different unit descriptions strongly supports a building-level exercise room rather than a copied single-unit claim.
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.
At least three independent remarks explicitly identify meeting or conference facilities, including 'meeting rooms,' 'business-conference center,' and 'entertaining rooms.' Combined with 12 of 20 current MLS records carrying the amenity, the evidence supports a building-level meeting room.
Many listings across the building explicitly mention lanais, balconies, or decks, including private, covered, panoramic, wrap-around, and oversized examples. The feature is confirmed by numerous distinct property descriptions and is not limited to the private penthouse rooftop decks, so the building clearly offers patio/deck space to many buyers.
Little-to-no evidence: only 2 of 20 MLS listings mark a jogging/walking path and none of the public remarks mention "jogging path" or "walking path." With no remark confirmation, the feature is unlikely to exist as a building amenity.
No analysis available
No support in remarks for private yard: despite 2/20 MLS checkbox entries for PRIYAR, zero public remarks reference private or fenced yard space. Given absence of any descriptive mentions across listings and the likelihood of copy/paste checkbox errors, private yard should be omitted.
There is no textual support in the remarks for a putting green, and the MLS checkbox appears only once. This looks like a likely checkbox anomaly rather than a confirmed amenity.
The recreation-area feature is supported by 5/20 current MLS records but lacks clear public-remark confirmation. Because the current checkbox evidence is limited and the prior confidence was medium, this should be treated as a tentative building amenity rather than strongly verified.
Evidence for a dedicated recreation room is weak: only 2 of 20 current listings include RECROO. One remark references “entertaining rooms,” along with a theatre and business-conference center, but most listings do not mention a recreation or game room; inclusion is therefore based mainly on historical building data and limited implied evidence.
Many independent listings describe multiple in-building dining options, including 'three on-site restaurants,' 'Sushi Sho,' 'Quiora,' 'La Vie,' 'Dean & Deluca,' and 'deli/café.' The breadth and specificity of these references, together with 19 of 20 MLS records, strongly confirms on-site restaurant or dining facilities.
No analysis available
A sauna is supported by 9 of 20 current listings and several direct references, including “fitness center, pool, whirlpool, sauna” and “full-service spa with sauna.” The repeated explicit mentions across listings confirm this feature despite it appearing in fewer MLS records.
No analysis available
The remarks mention nearby beaches, surfing, swimming, and water sports, but do not identify dedicated surfboard or board-storage facilities within the building. Nearby access to surfing does not establish on-site storage.
No analysis available
No current public remarks explicitly mention trash chutes, which is common for a building service feature. However, 15 of 20 current MLS records carry the trash-chute amenity and historical confidence is high, with no contrary evidence indicating removal or a prior mistake.
Valet is overwhelmingly supported across the current remarks, with repeated explicit references to valet service and valet parking from many listings and apparent multiple agents. Several descriptions specifically note complimentary valet parking for owners, confirming this as a building-level amenity.
No analysis available
Multiple independent listings explicitly mention shared resort amenities including a 'Jacuzzi spa,' 'whirlpool,' 'two whirlpools,' or 'jacuzzi.' The remarks align with the 15 of 20 current MLS records and support a building-level whirlpool amenity.
More than 20 current listing remarks explicitly mention the building’s pools, including repeated phrases such as “two infinity-edge pools,” “twin infinity pools,” “two sparkling pools,” “family pool,” “adult pool,” and “two separate swimming pool areas.” The evidence is consistent across many listings and agents, with shared resort pools clearly available to residents; occasional references to private penthouse pools do not change the building-level conclusion.
Eleven of 20 current listings include the HEAPOO amenity code, while 0 of 20 list HEATED in pool_features. Public remarks repeatedly confirm the building's shared pools but generally call them 'infinity pools,' 'resort-style pools,' or 'two sparkling pools' without explicitly stating that they are heated, so this remains supported but not high-confidence.
Multiple listings confirm the presence of pools, including infinity pools, but none identifies the pool water as saltwater. Pool type and amenities do not establish the water treatment method.
In-unit laundry is overwhelmingly confirmed across the building: 20/20 current listings include WASHER/DRYER, and well over 20 remarks explicitly mention phrases such as "in-unit washer and dryer," "washer/dryer in the unit," "W/D in unit," and "washer and dryer are in-unit." The evidence appears across many different unit types and repeated listings, strongly confirming this is a building-wide feature rather than isolated or copy-pasted misinformation.
No analysis available
The listings consistently reference in-unit washer/dryer appliances rather than shared laundry facilities. No public-remark evidence indicates that community laundry is paid.
The remarks repeatedly describe in-unit washers and dryers, but do not identify community laundry rooms on every floor. No public-remark evidence supports this feature.
Parking is mentioned across numerous listings from multiple agents, with well over 20 remarks explicitly describing valet parking or complimentary/free valet parking for owners. The repeated references are consistent with a building-wide amenity rather than a single-unit claim, although some wording appears copied from standardized Ritz-Carlton marketing remarks.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The listings consistently describe complimentary or available valet service rather than deeded, owned, or assigned parking stalls. No remark states that parking is included in the deed or owned with the unit.
No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly identify owner valet parking as free or complimentary. No monthly parking fee, parking rental charge, or additional parking cost is mentioned.
Across the listings, the parking-related language is overwhelmingly about valet service: "valet parking," "complimentary valet parking for owners," and "free valet parking for owners." I did not find explicit references to guest or visitor parking, so the evidence is indirect and may be partly copy-paste from the same building marketing. The building clearly offers valet access, but guest parking itself is not directly verified in the remarks.
0 of 20 listings explicitly mention secured or gated parking, card access, or secure parking entry. Although many remarks reference valet parking, this is a service rather than evidence of a secured parking entrance; the SECENT checkbox appearing in only 2 of 20 listings is likely inconsistent MLS data.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly mention valet parking, complimentary valet parking, or valet availability, but do not mention a parking waitlist, waiting list, or joining a list for parking. Therefore, there is no public-remarks evidence of a parking waitlist system.
No analysis available
The remarks describe concierge, valet, bell, and other hospitality services, but provide no evidence of a card- or fob-based security system. No public-remark evidence supports this feature.
No current public remarks explicitly state “security guard,” “24-hour security,” or “on-site security.” However, SECGUA appears in 15 of 20 listings and historical analysis rated the feature highly, so it is retained despite the lack of textual confirmation.
The listings repeatedly mention concierge, valet, housekeeping, and Ritz-Carlton staff, but do not identify security patrol services. These hospitality services do not establish the presence of patrol security.
No analysis available
No public remarks explicitly mention “central AC,” “central air,” HVAC, or forced air (0 listings). However, current MLS data is highly consistent, with ACCEN/CENAC appearing in 17 of 20 unit-feature records and ACCEN in all 20 inclusion records, indicating central air is a building-level amenity rather than an isolated agent error.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Eighteen of 20 current listings identify CONCRE as the construction material. No public remarks explicitly say 'concrete building' or 'reinforced concrete,' but the strong, repeated MLS consensus confirms this building-level feature.
Five of 20 listings contain the DOUWAL construction code, but none of the supplied remarks mention double-wall construction. Because historical confidence was low and there is no independent narrative confirmation, the feature should not be treated as established.
No analysis available
Three of 20 current listings report the MASSTU construction-material code, while none of the supplied remarks mention "masonry" or "stucco." The current support is limited and may reflect inconsistent MLS entry, but the feature was previously assessed with high confidence and should not be removed without stronger contradictory evidence.
Steel-frame construction is not validated: only 2 of 20 listings carry the STEFRA code and none of the remarks mention steel framing or provide supporting construction details. Because prior confidence was low and the checkbox evidence is sparse, this feature should be omitted from trusted building attributes rather than treated as confirmed.
Only two of 20 current listings contain the SLAB code, with no remarks mentioning a concrete slab or solid concrete foundation. Evidence remains low confidence and appears to be unverified MLS data rather than confirmation from multiple agents or site observations.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The ABOGRO code appears in 3 of 20 current listings, and no supplied remarks contain phrases such as "above ground construction" or "above ground building." Because the evidence is sparse and lacks remark confirmation, it may reflect inconsistent or copied MLS checkbox data.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The building clearly permits short-term rental use through the Ritz-Carlton hotel rental program. Although many individual units are owner-use or outside the program, other listings explicitly confirm participation or eligibility for short-term rentals.
The building participates in a Ritz-Carlton hotel rental pool. Public remarks repeatedly describe hotel-managed rental opportunities, while also noting that individual owners may elect not to participate.
Hotel rental pool participation is not mandatory for all units. The remarks explicitly describe optional participation, owner-use units, and units outside the hotel program, which rules out a mandatory rental-pool requirement.

The remarks were searched for leasehold, ground-lease, expiration, expiry, renewal, and extension language with four-digit years. No specific lease expiration or extension year was found, so the lease expiry remains unknown.
The remarks were searched for explicit VA-related language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted." None of these terms or equivalent statements were found, so there is no public-remarks evidence that the building is VA loan approved.
The remarks were searched for fully insured, full insurance, comprehensive building insurance, fully covered insurance, and walls-in coverage. No qualifying insurance language was found. Because there is no current true value, the feature remains false with low-to-moderate confidence based on the absence of public-remark evidence.
Fire sprinklers are supported by 11 of 20 current MLS listings, indicating broad confirmation across the building. One listing explicitly states that the unit "features in-unit sprinklers," providing direct textual confirmation; the checkbox evidence is consistent with the historically high-confidence feature.
The remarks were searched for fire/life safety evaluation language, FLSE, fire safety certification, life-safety compliance, and passed fire inspection. No qualifying references were found. Because there is no current true value, the feature remains false with low-to-moderate confidence based on the absence of public-remark evidence.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

All 20 of 20 current listings mention ocean views, including phrases such as 'expansive ocean views,' 'stunning views of the Pacific Ocean,' and 'breathtaking ocean views.' The evidence is exceptionally strong across many distinct residences and listing styles, rather than being limited to a single copied remark.
Several listings mention mountain/mauka or Diamond Head views (examples: "majestic mountain (Mauka)", "sweeping panoramic views of the ocean, Diamond Head, and the city skyline"). The evidence is moderately strong across multiple listings, indicating the building offers mountain-facing units.
Three current listings specifically mention Diamond Head, including "breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Diamond Head" and "sweeping views ... [of] Diamond Head." Although less universal than ocean views, these explicit descriptions confirm that the building offers units with Diamond Head views.
City views are mentioned in 15 of 20 current listings, including 'ocean and city views,' 'stunning ocean and city views,' and 'panoramic views of ... the Honolulu skyline.' Although not every unit has this exposure, multiple units across different floor plans clearly offer it, making it a valid building-level feature.
Coastline or shoreline views appear in 7 of 20 current listings, including 'Waikiki coastline,' 'stunning Pacific Ocean views stretch across Honolulu’s southern coastline,' 'breathtaking coastline views,' and 'beautiful shoreline views.' The lower frequency reflects unit-specific sightlines, but the repeated explicit descriptions confirm that the building offers residences with coastline views.
Garden-style views are supported for some residences, with 2 of 20 current listings explicitly mentioning GARDEN and numerous others describing Fort DeRussy Park, 'park views,' and 'green park vistas.' Although agents more commonly label this view as park rather than garden, the repeated landscaped outlooks across listings support inclusion.
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
Sunset views are supported by 15 of 20 current listings, with repeated language such as 'watch the sunset and Friday night fireworks,' 'views of ... Waikiki’s spectacular sunsets,' and 'sunsets from your private lanai.' The feature is confirmed across numerous residences and appears to reflect genuine western-facing or open exposure, not merely a single copied listing.
No analysis available
Numerous listings specifically describe Friday night fireworks being visible from private lanais, balconies, or units. This is direct evidence that units in the building have fireworks views.

Eight of 20 current listings check RESMAN, but public remarks do not plainly identify a resident manager. References to full-time Ritz-Carlton staff, concierge, housekeeping, and a dedicated Residence Team provide only indirect support, so confidence remains moderate and may reflect copied MLS checkbox data.
