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.

The remarks were searched for explicit owner-occupancy percentages and descriptions such as "majority owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied." References to owners using units as second homes, vacation homes, or primary residences do not establish a building-wide percentage. Per the numeric-field rule, the current value of 5.0 is retained with low confidence.
The remarks were searched for numeric elevator counts such as "4 elevators," spelled-out counts, and references to multiple elevators. No mentions were found to confirm or deny the current value. Per the numeric-field rule, the current value of 5 is retained with low confidence.
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.
0 listings explicitly mention central air conditioning being included in the fees. Only 6 of 20 MLS records contain ACCEN, suggesting inconsistent checkbox usage rather than strong building-wide evidence.
Zero listings explicitly mention cable TV being included in the fees. However, 17 of 20 current listings mark CABTV in association_fee_includes, providing strong building-level evidence despite the lack of independent remark confirmation.
0 listings mention common-area electricity or common electric being included. OTCOEX is present in half of the current records, which is meaningful repeated evidence but may reflect agent copy-paste or inconsistent reporting.

0 listings explicitly mention included hot water. Current MLS records are split, with HOTWAT in 10 of 20 listings and WTRHTR in 1, so the evidence does not reliably support included building hot water.
No listings explicitly state that internet or Wi-Fi is included. Nevertheless, 15 of 20 current MLS records identify INTSER as an association fee inclusion, which is strong multi-listing evidence, though it may partly reflect copied MLS data.
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.
Zero listings explicitly mention sewer inclusion in their public remarks. SEWER appears in 19 of 20 current MLS records, making the evidence highly consistent across the building even though it is primarily checkbox-based.
No listings explicitly state that water is included in the maintenance fees. However, 19 of 20 current listings mark WATER in association_fee_includes, providing highly consistent building-level evidence despite the absence of remark confirmation.
BBQ is mentioned in a few listings, but the clearest references are penthouse-specific, such as a “built-in BBQ” and “built-in BBQ grill” on the private rooftop deck. Because the evidence appears concentrated in exclusive penthouse remarks rather than a shared amenity, confidence is high that BBQ exists for at least some units, but it may not be a common building-wide facility.

Concierge is mentioned explicitly in well over 18 listings, with repeated phrases such as “dedicated concierge,” “concierge assistance,” “24-hour concierge,” and “concierge services.” The evidence is strong across numerous listing descriptions and is consistent with the CONCIE amenity appearing in 18 of 20 current MLS listings.
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.
Fitness amenities are mentioned across many listings, with repeated references to a "fitness center," "fitness room," "gym," and "fitness gym." The evidence is strong across multiple remark styles and is consistent with the 19/20 current MLS amenity selections.
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.
Meeting-room evidence is moderately strong across multiple remarks. Phrases like “business-conference center,” “meeting rooms,” and “entertaining rooms” indicate that the building offers dedicated gathering/conference spaces, not just casual lounge areas.
At least 25 listings explicitly mention a lanai, balcony, covered lanai, private deck, or outdoor space, including phrases such as “spacious 114 sq. ft. lanai,” “private covered lanai,” and “large usable lanai.” Although the penthouse descriptions refer to private rooftop decks, numerous non-penthouse units also have lanais or balconies, so this is a strong building-level feature rather than a penthouse-only amenity.
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.
I found no explicit references to a recreation area, recreation deck, amenity deck, or similar shared space in the current remarks. The MLS checkbox trend appears stronger than the text evidence, which suggests possible copy-paste or unchecked verification issues rather than a clearly documented amenity.
There is no clear public-remarks evidence of a dedicated recreation room in the building. While some listings mention vague items like "entertaining rooms" or meeting spaces, that is not the same as a recreation room. With only 2/20 MLS checkbox hits and no explicit confirmation, this is most likely not a true shared amenity.
Many listings explicitly describe on-site restaurants and dining facilities, including "Sushi Sho restaurant," "three on-site restaurants," "on-site dining options," and "cafe & deli." Although some boilerplate is repeated, numerous listings provide varied and specific restaurant names, confirming the building-level feature.
No analysis available
Sauna is directly supported by multiple remarks, including listings that describe a “full spa and sauna” and another that lists “sauna” among the amenities. The evidence is not universal across all listings, but it is consistent enough to confirm availability for the building.
No analysis available
The remarks discuss nearby beaches, surfing, swimming, and water sports, and mention general storage or valet services in some listings. They do not identify on-site surfboard, board, surf, or bike-and-surfboard storage facilities.
No analysis available
None of the supplied remarks explicitly mention a "trash chute," which is expected for a back-of-house building service. Nevertheless, the feature remains selected in 13 of 20 current MLS listings and has previously been assessed with high confidence, supporting retention despite limited public-remark confirmation.
More than 35 listings explicitly mention “valet parking,” “valet service,” “complimentary valet parking,” or “24-hour valet services.” The repeated references occur across varied listing descriptions and include operational details such as services for owners, confirming that valet is an established building service rather than an isolated or copied checkbox.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly mention a shared "whirlpool," "two whirlpools," or "Jacuzzi spa," including descriptions of the building's pools and resort amenities. The evidence is consistent across several listings and is reinforced by the 15/20 current MLS selections.
The building pool is overwhelmingly confirmed: well over 20 current remarks mention shared pools, including 'two infinity pools,' 'two sparkling pools,' and 'two separate swimming pool areas.' The references appear across many different listings and agents, consistently describing common resort amenities rather than only private penthouse pools.
Eight of 20 current MLS listings include the HEAPOO amenity code, indicating a heated pool, although none of the provided remarks explicitly state that the pools are heated. Remarks consistently confirm shared resort and infinity pools, so the heated designation is plausible but appears to rely primarily on MLS checkbox data rather than independent textual verification.
The remarks repeatedly mention infinity pools, adult and family pools, resort pools, cabanas, whirlpools, and pool slides. They do not state that any pool is saltwater, saline, or a salt pool.
In-unit laundry is overwhelmingly supported across the building: current MLS data shows washer/dryer inclusions in 20 of 20 listings, while many remarks from multiple listings explicitly state “in-unit washer/dryer,” “washer and dryer are in the unit,” or “washer/dryer inside.” The repeated detailed references across varied unit types and listing descriptions strongly confirm this is a genuine building feature, not merely copied checkbox data.
No analysis available
The remarks describe in-unit laundry and do not mention coin-operated laundry, paid laundry, laundry fees, card-operated machines, quarters, or other payment requirements. Therefore, paid community laundry is not supported by the public remarks.
The remarks repeatedly mention in-unit washers and dryers, but do not mention laundry on each floor, laundry rooms on every floor, or floor-by-floor laundry. Therefore, there is no public-remarks evidence of community laundry facilities on every floor.
Parking is explicitly mentioned across numerous listings, with well over 20 remarks referencing “valet parking,” “complimentary valet parking for owners,” “free valet parking,” or valet service. The evidence is strong across many listings and repeated agents, indicating the building offers parking despite 12 of 20 current MLS records showing NONE.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The listings consistently identify valet parking rather than an assigned or deeded parking stall. The explicit 0-parking reference further supports that parking is not deeded with the unit.
No analysis available
The remarks describe valet parking as complimentary or free for owners in multiple listings. However, they do not state a monthly parking charge or any separate parking rental fee, so the monthly fee is unknown.
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.

The public remarks were searched for explicit parking-waitlist terminology. No evidence of a building parking waitlist system was found, although the listings frequently reference valet parking.
No analysis available
The remarks mention concierge, valet, bell service, and other hospitality services, but do not mention key-card access, fob access, card readers, electronic access, or keycard entry. Card or fob security is therefore not supported by the public remarks.
Security guard service is indicated in 8 of 20 current MLS listings, but none of the provided remarks clearly identify security guards or on-site security personnel. The feature is retained based primarily on the current MLS amenity data, with moderate confidence because the evidence may reflect copied checkbox information.
The remarks describe concierge, valet, housekeeping, bell service, and 24-hour services, but do not mention security patrol, roving security, patrol service, or a patrolled building. No public-remarks evidence confirms security patrol.
No analysis available
No current listing explicitly states “central AC,” “central air,” or “HVAC,” so the remarks provide no direct confirmation or contradiction. However, historical MLS data is exceptionally consistent, with 15 of 20 listings citing ACCEN/CENAC and 19 of 20 citing ACCEN in inclusions, making central air a strongly supported building feature rather than an isolated agent copy/paste claim.

Concrete construction is supported by 20 of 20 current MLS listings through the CONCRE construction_materials field. Public remarks do not explicitly state “concrete construction,” but repeatedly identify the property as a multi-tower high-rise condominium, consistent with the strong MLS evidence and previously high confidence.
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.

Public remarks provide extensive, repeated evidence that short-term rentals are allowed through the Ritz-Carlton hotel rental program or pool. Some individual units do not participate, but those remarks describe unit-level participation choices rather than a building-wide prohibition.
The listings repeatedly describe an on-site Ritz-Carlton hotel rental program and rental pool. Other listings state that particular units are not currently participating, which indicates optional unit participation rather than absence of the building-wide program.
Hotel rental pool participation is not mandatory for all units. The remarks repeatedly confirm that owners can use units privately, opt out, or keep them outside the hotel rental program.

The remarks were searched for leasehold terminology, ground-lease language, expiration dates, and renewal statements. No specific lease-expiry year or applicable lease information was found.
The public remarks were searched for explicit VA-related language, including “VA approved,” “VA financing,” and “VA loans accepted.” No such statements were found, so there is no 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 relevant statements were found. With no current true value or explicit confirmation, the feature is recorded as false with medium-low confidence.
Fire sprinkler coverage remains supported for this building. Current MLS data shows 9/20 listings with FIRSPR, and at least one remark explicitly mentions 'in-unit sprinklers,' confirming the feature rather than just a copied checkbox. The evidence is consistent with prior high-confidence data and appears to reflect a real building feature, not a one-off agent mistake.
The remarks were searched for fire/life safety evaluation passage, FLSE approval, fire safety certification, life safety compliance, and passed fire inspection. No such statements or denials were found. Because there is no current true value and no supporting evidence, this remains false with medium-low 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 consistently confirmed across all 20 current listings, including repeated descriptions of Pacific Ocean, panoramic, premium, and breathtaking ocean views. The evidence is strong across many listings and agents, even though some descriptions use recurring marketing language.
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.
Diamond Head views are clearly supported, though less universal than ocean views. Current remarks mention "Diamond Head," "panoramic views of the ocean, Diamond Head, and the city skyline," and similar phrasing in multiple listings. The evidence suggests some units in the building offer this view, especially higher-floor/corner residences.
City views are supported by 14 of 20 current listings, with explicit references to city views, Waikiki skyline views, city lights, Honolulu skyline, and city skyline. Although not every unit has this exposure, the repeated confirmations across multiple listings establish that city-view residences are available in the building.
Coastline views are present but less common than ocean views. The current remarks include explicit phrases such as "breathtaking coastline views," "shoreline views," and "panoramic Pacific Ocean views stretch across Honolulu's southern coastline." This is supported by multiple listings and appears to apply to select units rather than the entire building.
Garden-style views are indirectly but consistently supported through repeated references to Fort DeRussy Park, 'park views,' and 'green park vistas.' While the MLS checkbox frequency is lower than ocean or city, the remarks repeatedly confirm these park/garden-facing outlooks across multiple listings. This looks like a genuine building offering rather than copy-paste noise.
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 mentioned in 15 of 20 current listings, with numerous explicit references to spectacular sunsets, sunset cocktails, golden-hour views, and evening sunsets. The recurring descriptions across many listings strongly confirm that the building offers units with sunset-view exposure.
No analysis available
There is repeated direct evidence that Friday night fireworks are visible from residences. Examples include “watching Friday night fireworks” from a covered lanai, “Watch the sunset and Friday night fireworks,” and a “Friday night fireworks show ... right from your lanai.”

The resident manager feature is moderately supported, with 10 of 20 current MLS listings checking RESMAN. Public remarks do not plainly say 'resident manager,' but several describe a 'full-time, very attentive' staff and a 'dedicated Residence Team,' which suggests on-site management presence. The evidence looks somewhat mixed and may partly reflect copy-pasted luxury-service language rather than a clearly verified resident manager role.
