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.

I looked for statements like '80% owner occupied,' 'majority owner occupied,' or 'highly owner occupied,' but the remarks do not provide an owner-occupancy percentage. Some listings mention owner-use-only or primary residence language, but that is not the same as building-wide owner occupancy. With no explicit percentage, the current value of 5% is retained.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like 'elevators,' 'five elevators,' '4 elevators,' and 'multiple elevators,' but found no direct mention of the number of elevators. Given the current value and no contradictory evidence in the remarks, I kept 5. The building context makes 5 elevators plausible for a 38-story, 308-unit tower.

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.
Cable TV appears to be included in the association fees across the building. The MLS data is highly consistent, with 18 of 20 listings marking CABTV, and the public remarks do not suggest otherwise. This looks like a stable building-level inclusion rather than a one-off agent entry.
Common area electricity is supported by the MLS checkbox data, though not as strongly as cable, water, or sewer. Ten of twenty listings mark OTCOEX, which suggests the feature is present but not uniformly entered. Public remarks do not explicitly confirm it, so confidence is moderate.

A minority of MLS records (7/20) indicate hot water included, while at least one listing lists WTRHTR (in-unit water heater). No public remarks explicitly state 'hot water included.' Because some MLS entries report HOTWAT, the feature is included but with modest confidence and mixed evidence.
Internet appears to be included in the maintenance fees. The MLS data is highly consistent, with 17 of 20 listings checking INTSER, and there is no contrary evidence in the remarks. This looks like a building-level amenity that agents may be copying consistently from the MLS.
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 very likely included in the association fees. Eighteen of twenty listings mark SEWER, which is a strong building-level pattern. The public remarks do not dispute this, so confidence remains high.
Water appears to be included in the maintenance fees. The MLS checkbox data is highly consistent, with 18 of 20 listings marking WATER, and the remarks do not suggest otherwise. This is strong building-level evidence.

Concierge is strongly confirmed across the listing set. Dozens of remarks explicitly mention it, including phrases like "concierge services," "24-hour concierge and valet services," "a devoted concierge service," and "dedicated concierge exclusively for residence owners." The consistency across many listings and multiple agents suggests this is a true building-wide amenity rather than copy-paste error.
No analysis available
4 of 20 MLS listings currently have the 'doorman' amenity checked, but none of the public remarks use terms like 'doorman', 'door attendant', or 'lobby attendant' (remarks instead mention 'bell service', 'valet', and concierge). Given the low checkbox prevalence and no supporting remarks, doorman is included only with low confidence — possibly an agent checkbox inconsistency.
Exercise room/fitness center is clearly a building-level amenity. Nearly every remark references it directly, with wording such as "fitness center," "fitness room," "gym," and even "24 hour fitness center." The evidence is consistent across many listings and looks like a real shared amenity, not a copy-paste error.
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.
Moderate-to-strong evidence supports a meeting/conference room amenity. While not mentioned in every listing, the MLS checkbox appears in 10/20 listings and public remarks include 'business-conference center' / 'business center,' which is consistent with a shared meeting facility.
Strong, repeated evidence across many listings supports patio/deck-type outdoor space. Multiple remarks mention a "covered lanai," "private lanai," "open lanai," and "large lanai," and one penthouse description explicitly references a "private rooftop deck." This appears consistent across many agents and is reinforced by the historical MLS amenities data.
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.
No analysis available
Limited evidence: while 7 of 20 MLS listings check the recreation-area box, none of the public remarks explicitly state "recreation area" or similar phrases. Given lack of remark support and mixed MLS usage, this appears unlikely to be a distinct advertised amenity.
Very limited MLS checkbox presence (1/20) and no explicit mentions in listing remarks of a dedicated "recreation room," "game room," or similar. Likely a low-confidence/agent checkbox artifact; insufficient evidence to include this amenity.
Restaurant/on-site dining is strongly supported by the remarks and historical data. Many listings describe multiple in-building dining options, including "three on-site restaurants," "deli/cafe," "gourmet marketplace," and named venues like Sushi Sho, La Vie, Quiora, and Dean & Deluca. This is consistent across multiple agents and appears to be a genuine building amenity.
No analysis available
Moderate evidence: while only a subset of MLS listings check the sauna box, multiple public remarks reference a spa with "sauna" or list sauna among spa amenities, indicating the building offers a sauna facility.
No analysis available
I looked for surfboard storage, surf storage, board storage, or bike-and-surfboard storage references. None of the remarks mention any surfboard storage facility, so there is no public evidence supporting this feature.
No analysis available
Evidence is mixed and largely checkbox-based. No public remarks explicitly mention a 'trash chute,' 'garbage chute,' or 'refuse chute,' but 13/20 MLS listings currently have the amenity checked, so the feature is likely present though not well corroborated in remarks.
Valet service is overwhelmingly supported by both historical MLS data and current public remarks. Nearly every listing references "valet parking" or "valet service," including several mentions of "complimentary valet parking" and "free valet parking for owners." The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to reflect a real building-level service.
No analysis available
Strong evidence across the remarks and MLS data. The amenity is directly named in multiple listings, including 'whirlpool,' 'Jacuzzi spa,' and 'two whirlpools,' so this appears to be a genuine shared building feature.
Pool access is strongly confirmed across the building. Dozens of remarks from multiple listings/agents describe shared resort amenities, including "infinity pool," "two pools," "two resort style pool areas," and "2 sparkling pools," so this is clearly a building-level amenity. The evidence is consistent and widespread, not a one-off mention.
There is mixed evidence for heated pools: 9 of 20 MLS records include a HEAPOO flag, but none of the public remarks explicitly use "heated" or "heated swimming pool." Because the remarks consistently mention pools in general without temperature details, this looks more like MLS checkbox signal than direct textual confirmation.
I searched for salt water pool, saltwater pool, salt pool, and saline pool wording. The remarks mention infinity pools and resort-style pools, but nothing identifies them as saltwater.
In-unit laundry is strongly confirmed across the building. Dozens of current remarks explicitly say “washer & dryer,” “washer/dryer included,” “in-unit washer and dryer,” or similar phrases, and the MLS history shows 20/20 listings with washer/dryer in inclusions. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and towers, so this feature should be treated as firmly present.
No analysis available
I looked for coin laundry, coin-op, quarters, card-operated machines, or any laundry fee language. The remarks do not reference paid community laundry; they instead emphasize in-unit washer/dryer in many units.
I searched for public remarks describing laundry on each floor, floor-by-floor laundry rooms, or a community laundry room on every floor. The listings repeatedly mention in-unit washer/dryer instead, with no evidence of shared laundry facilities on every floor.
Parking is strongly supported across the listings. Dozens of remarks explicitly mention "valet parking," "complimentary valet parking," or "free valet parking for owners," indicating the building offers parking in valet form even when some MLS checkbox fields show NONE. This looks like consistent building-level amenity evidence rather than isolated unit-specific copy.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for deeded parking, parking included in deed, owned stall, or similar wording and found none. The listings describe valet service instead, which does not indicate deeded parking.
No analysis available
I searched for parking fee language, monthly parking charges, parking rental amounts, and separate valet costs, but found no explicit fee. The remarks only mention valet parking, including complimentary or available valet service, which does not establish a monthly parking fee.
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.

I searched for parking waitlist, waiting list, or join waitlist for parking and found no references. The public remarks do not indicate that parking is managed through a waitlist.
No analysis available
I looked for card/fob-based access language such as keycard entry, fob access, or electronic access systems. The public remarks mention concierge, valet, bell service, and staffed services, but not card-access security.
11 of 20 current MLS listings include the 'security guard' amenity checkbox, but none of the public remarks explicitly state 'security guard', '24-hour security', or similar. Evidence is mixed (partial MLS checkbox presence) and the remarks do not confirm the feature, so inclusion is possible but with modest confidence; agents may have copy/pasted the checkbox.
I searched for any reference to security patrol or roving patrol services. The building is described as full-service with concierge and security staff, but there is no public remark confirming a patrol service.
No analysis available
Central air appears to be a consistent building feature for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach. The MLS history is strong (15/20 listings with ACCEN/CENAC and 19/20 with ACCEN in inclusions), and the remarks across many listings describe the same building without any indication that AC has been removed or changed. Evidence looks like broad building-wide MLS usage rather than a one-off agent checkbox.

All available MLS records consistently mark this building as concrete (20/20 listings). The public remarks do not explicitly restate the construction type, but they are uniformly for the same high-rise Ritz-Carlton Residences Waikiki building and do not provide any contradiction. This appears to be stable MLS data rather than agent copy-paste noise.
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
Only 1 of 20 current MLS listings marks construction_materials='MASSTU' and none of the public remarks mention masonry or stucco. With no historical support and overwhelming absence in remarks and checkboxes, the single occurrence appears to be an outlier (likely copy/paste), so masonry/stucco is omitted for the building.
Limited evidence for steel-frame: 5/20 listings flag 'STEFRA' but none of the public remarks mention 'steel frame' or provide construction details. The majority of MLS entries point to concrete; absent explicit remarks, steel-frame is not supported by the listing text and appears to be minority/possibly checkbox noise.
Insufficient evidence for a slab foundation: only 3/20 listings mark 'SLAB' and none of the public remarks reference 'concrete slab' or similar. Given the lack of corroborating remarks and minimal MLS checkbox presence, slab foundation is not confirmed by the public text.

The remarks clearly indicate short-term rental activity is allowed in the building or at least for some units, including explicit references to hotel rental pool eligibility and legal short-term rentals. Multiple listings also describe units as being part of or eligible for the hotel rental program.
The public remarks consistently reference the Ritz-Carlton hotel rental pool/program, including units being part of, eligible for, or available to join the hotel pool. This strongly supports that the building participates in a hotel rental pool program.
The remarks directly contradict mandatory participation by stating some units are not in the hotel rental program, have never participated, or may be re-added if the owner desires. That indicates hotel pool participation is optional, not mandatory.

I searched the remarks for leasehold terms like "lease expires," "ground lease ends," "renewed through," and specific 4-digit expiry years, but found nothing. Since no land lease information is stated in the public remarks, the expiry year cannot be determined from this data.
I searched the public remarks for explicit language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted" and found none. Based on the listings provided, there is no public evidence that this building is VA loan approved.
I searched the remarks for insurance-related language such as 'fully insured,' 'full insurance,' 'fully covered insurance,' 'comprehensive building insurance,' and 'walls-in coverage,' but found no direct mention. There is no evidence in the remarks to confirm that the HOA provides full walls-in coverage.
Current MLS checkbox data lists FIRSPR on 11 of ~20 recent listings and historical data showed high confidence for sprinklers. Multiple agent remarks reference sprinklers, including an explicit line: "in-unit sprinklers." Evidence is strong across several listings (not just a single outlier), supporting that the building does have a fire sprinkler system.
I looked for explicit wording such as 'fire life safety evaluation passed,' 'FLSE passed,' 'fire safety certified,' 'life safety compliant,' and 'passed fire inspection,' but found nothing in the public remarks. Because there is no current value to preserve and no affirmative evidence, this remains unconfirmed and is treated as false with low-to-moderate confidence.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Ocean views are overwhelmingly supported across the listing set. Multiple remarks explicitly mention "ocean views," "Pacific Ocean," "Makai," "ocean-facing," and "panoramic ocean views," indicating this is a consistent building-level feature rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
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.
Multiple listings (dozens) explicitly reference Diamond Head views with phrases like “Diamond Head views,” “panoramic views of ... Diamond Head,” and “framing Diamond Head,” showing consistent confirmation across different unit listings and agents. The evidence strongly supports that the building offers units with Diamond Head views.
City views are well supported, though not as universal as ocean views. Several listings explicitly pair city with ocean views or city lights/skyline language, showing that some units in the building offer urban-facing outlooks.
Multiple listings explicitly reference coastline/shoreline views — e.g., 'panoramic Pacific Ocean views stretch across Honolulu's southern coastline' and 'shoreline views'. These repeated remarks across listings provide strong evidence the building offers coastline-view units.
Numerous remarks refer to views of Fort DeRussy Park, park or tree-top vistas — e.g., “overlooking Fort DeRussy Park,” “park & ocean view,” and “green park vistas.” These repeated, explicit references across listings indicate the building offers garden/park-facing units.
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 strongly supported across multiple remarks and listings. The wording appears in many independent descriptions, including explicit phrases like "watch the sunset" and "sunsets in the evening," which aligns with the MLS view data.
No analysis available
There is strong, repeated public-remarks evidence that units have views of the Friday night fireworks. Several listings explicitly reference watching fireworks from the lanai or from the unit, which satisfies the view requirement.

Evidence is moderate and mostly implied rather than explicit. Across the remarks, there are references to a "full-time" and "very attentive" residence staff, a "dedicated Residence Team," and extensive on-site service operations, while the MLS also shows RESMAN checked in 9 of 20 current listings. Because the language is consistent across multiple listings but stops short of saying "resident manager" outright, this is best treated as probable rather than certain.
