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 searched for owner-occupancy statements such as '80% owner occupied,' 'majority owner occupied,' or 'highly owner occupied,' but the remarks do not provide any explicit percentage. The building context already supplies 5.00, so that value should be retained with low confidence despite the many rental-program references in the listings.
I searched the public remarks for explicit references to the number of elevators, including phrases like 'elevators,' 'five elevators,' '4 elevators,' and 'multiple elevators,' but found no relevant mention. Since the current value is already provided in the building context, it should be kept as-is 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.
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.
The MLS checkbox data is strong for cable: 18 of 20 listings include CABTV in association_fee_includes. Public remarks across the listings do not explicitly mention cable service, so this appears to be consistent checkbox data rather than a remark-driven change.
14 of 20 MLS listings indicate common area electricity is included in association fees. Public remarks do not mention 'common area electricity' or similar language; the MLS checkbox prevalence is moderate and suggests many units list it, but the evidence is less direct and may reflect agent checkbox habits.

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 is included in association fees in 17 of 20 MLS listings, which is a strong majority. The public remarks do not explicitly call out internet, so the evidence is primarily from the MLS fee-includes field and appears consistent across listings.
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 appears to be included based on MLS records: 18 of 20 listings mark SEWER in association_fee_includes. No public remarks explicitly reference sewer, so there is no sign of a change or correction from the listing narratives.
Water is included in association fees in 18 of 20 MLS listings, indicating a strong building-level pattern. The public remarks do not explicitly mention water, so the MLS checkbox evidence remains the main support and does not appear to be affected by copy-paste issues.

Concierge is strongly confirmed across the listing set: dozens of remarks explicitly mention "concierge service," "24-hour concierge," "dedicated concierge," or "concierge and valet services." This matches the historical MLS data where all 20/20 listings included concierge in amenities, so the evidence is consistent and high confidence rather than a 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.
Very strong, consistent evidence across the listings. The building is repeatedly described as having a 'fitness center,' 'gym,' and even a '24 hour fitness center' or 'fitness room,' matching the MLS amenity flag in all 20/20 listings.
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 evidence that patio/deck-type space is available in the building/unit offerings. Across the remarks, many listings mention a "lanai," "covered lanai," "private lanai," or in the penthouse case a "private deck"; this is consistent with the historical MLS signal (16 of 20 listings coded PATDEC/COVPAT). Because the feature appears repeatedly across multiple listings and agents, it looks like a real and persistent building offering rather than a one-off description.
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.
Extremely strong evidence that the building has on-site dining/restaurant options. Multiple listings repeatedly mention 'restaurants,' 'fine dining restaurants,' 'on-site dining options,' and named venues like Sushi Sho, Quiora, La Vie, and Dean & Deluca, aligning with the 18/20 MLS amenity count.
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-related phrases such as surfboard storage, board storage, and bike-and-surfboard storage, but found no evidence. The remarks discuss luxury amenities and beach proximity, not surf storage facilities.
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. The current remarks repeatedly reference "valet parking," "valet service," and "complimentary valet parking service for owners," matching the historical MLS data where all 20 listings included VALET. This is strong, consistent, multi-agent evidence and appears to be a stable building amenity.
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 agents describe shared resort amenities such as 'infinity pool,' 'two pools,' 'two resort style pool areas,' and 'twin infinity pools with private cabanas,' which is consistent with the MLS amenities data. The evidence is broad and repetitive rather than isolated, so this appears to be a stable building-level feature.
Mixed evidence: 9 of 20 MLS records include a HEAPOO flag suggesting some pools may be heated, but none of the public remarks explicitly use the word "heated"—they describe "infinity pools", "private cabanas", "adult pool" and "family pool" without noting heating. Given moderate MLS checkbox presence but lack of explicit remarks, include pool_heated with moderate (implied) confidence.
I searched for salt water pool, saltwater, salt pool, and saline pool references, but none appeared in the remarks. Pools are frequently mentioned, but their water type is not specified publicly.
In-unit laundry is confirmed across the building. Dozens of current remarks explicitly mention phrases like “washer & dryer,” “in-unit washer and dryer,” “washer/dryer in the unit,” and “W/D,” showing this is not a one-off mention. This aligns with the historical MLS data where 20/20 listings included washer/dryer, so confidence is very high.
No analysis available
I looked for coin laundry, coin-op, quarters, card-operated laundry, or laundry fees, but there were no public remarks indicating paid community laundry. Instead, many listings highlight washer/dryer in the unit, so shared paid laundry is not evidenced.
I searched for phrases like laundry on each floor, laundry room on every floor, and floor-by-floor laundry, but found no public remarks supporting community laundry facilities. The listings consistently describe in-unit washer and dryer, which points away from shared floor laundry.
Strong evidence across listings that the building provides parking via valet: dozens of listing remarks explicitly state 'valet parking', 'complimentary valet parking for owners', or 'valet service' (examples: 'complimentary valet parking service for owners', 'valet parking for owners', 'free valet parking for owners'). While many MLS checkbox fields show NONE, the consistent, repeated remarks across many agents and prior high-confidence history indicate the building offers valet parking to owners.
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, or separate parking rental amounts and found none. The remarks only reference valet parking service, sometimes complimentary for owners, but no explicit 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/electronic access language, but the remarks only mention concierge, valet, bell service, and staffed services. There is no public-remarks evidence of a card-access security system.
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 security patrol or roving security wording and found nothing in the listings. The building is described as full-service and staffed, but patrol service is not explicitly mentioned.
No analysis available
Central AC appears to be a building feature based on MLS data rather than listing remarks: 19 of 20 listings include ACCEN in inclusions and 14 of 20 show ACCEN/CENAC in unit_features. None of the public remarks explicitly describe the HVAC system, but the repeated MLS flags across many listings suggest this is a real, building-level amenity rather than a one-off agent error.

All available MLS records consistently mark the building as concrete (20/20 listings). The public remarks across many listings focus on views, renovations, and amenities, but do not contradict the construction material. This appears to be strong, repeated MLS checkbox data rather than remark-based evidence.
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 for phrases such as lease expires, ground lease ends, renewed through, or any 4-digit lease expiry year and found nothing. The remarks do not provide a leasehold expiration date.
I searched the public remarks for explicit references to VA-approved financing, VA loans, or similar language and found none. Based on the available remarks, there is no evidence this building is VA loan approved.
I searched the remarks for insurance-related phrases including 'fully insured,' 'full insurance,' 'fully covered insurance,' 'comprehensive building insurance,' and 'walls-in coverage,' but found nothing. There is no public-remarks evidence to support a fully insured status.
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 the remarks do not mention any of these. With no public-remarks evidence, this cannot be confirmed and remains false by absence of mention.
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 strongly supported across the listing set: 20/20 current MLS entries include OCEAN in the view descriptions, and the remarks repeatedly say things like "amazing ocean view," "breathtaking ocean views," "Pacific Ocean," and "Makai" views. The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to be standard building-level marketing, not an isolated unit-specific claim.
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.
Many listings explicitly mention city-type views (phrases like "city lights", "city skyline", "Waikiki city views", "park and city views"). The consistency of these remarks across multiple agent listings provides strong evidence the building offers city-view units.
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 well supported, with 12/20 current MLS entries including SUNSET and multiple remarks saying "watch the sunset," "sunsets in the evening," and "sunset and Friday night fireworks." This appears repeatedly across different listings, indicating the building offers sunset-oriented views in at least some units.
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 rather than explicit: 9 of 20 current listings have the RESMAN amenity checked, and multiple remarks describe a "dedicated Residence Team" or "full-time, and very attentive" staff. However, no listing directly states "resident manager," "live-in manager," or similar phrasing, so this appears more like an implied amenity than a clearly verified building feature.
