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 the public remarks for explicit owner-occupancy statements like 'X% owner occupied', 'majority owner occupied', or similar and found none. Per the rules, since a current owner_occupancy value exists I retained it but with low confidence due to no corroborating evidence in the remarks.
I searched all public remarks for terms like 'elevator', '4 elevators', 'four elevators', or 'multiple elevators' and found no explicit references. Because a current numeric value already exists, per rules I retained the value but with low confidence due to lack of confirmation 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.
Only 5 of 20 current MLS listings include ACCEN (central AC) in association fee checkboxes and none of the public remarks explicitly mention 'central AC included.' Because historical data signaled high confidence and there is no clear contradictory remark or user verification, the feature is retained with moderate confidence (5/20 MLS listings).
19 of 20 recent MLS listings mark cable (CABTV) as included in association fees. Public remarks do not explicitly state 'cable included' but provide no contrary evidence; the widespread, consistent MLS checkbox use across listings from multiple agents indicates high confidence that cable is included.
15 of 20 recent MLS listings indicate common-area electricity (OTCOEX) is included. Public remarks focus on amenities (pools, spa, valet) and don't explicitly state 'common area electric included,' but the majority of listings checking the box suggests building-level inclusion for buyers searching for this feature.

10 of 20 current MLS listings indicate hot water (HOTWAT) is included in association fees, while public remarks do not reference hot-water inclusion. This is moderate evidence (some agents checked the box), but not ubiquitous or described in remarks, so confidence is moderate (implied).
18 of 20 recent MLS listings mark internet service (INTSER) as included in association fees. Although the public remarks rarely say 'internet included,' the consistent MLS checkbox across many listings suggests it is very likely included in the building fees.
No analysis available
All 20 of 20 recent MLS listings indicate sewer is included in association fees. Public remarks do not contradict this and the unanimous, consistent MLS checkbox use across listings indicates very strong evidence that sewer is included.
All 20 of 20 recent MLS listings indicate water is included in association fees. There are no remarks contradicting this and the consistent, unanimous MLS checkbox use across multiple agents provides very strong evidence that water is included.
Although a small number of MLS entries check BBQ (2/20), all textual evidence points to private penthouse rooftop grills/kitchenettes (Wolf grill) rather than a shared building BBQ area. No remarks describe a communal grilling facility accessible to general residents.

Nearly all listings reference concierge services—common phrases: 'concierge', 'concierge services', 'concierge service', and 'front desk/concierge'—and the MLS previously had CONCIE checked on all 20 listings. The widespread, consistent mentions across multiple agents corroborate that the building provides staffed concierge service.
No analysis available
Although only 3/20 MLS amenity checkboxes list DOORMA, numerous listings' public remarks describe staffed entry/front-desk services—phrases include "24/7 security & front desk," "porte cochere," and "bell service." This language appears across multiple agents' remarks (not isolated to a single listing), providing strong evidence the building has a staffed lobby/doorman-type service.
Strong, consistent evidence across listings: multiple remarks state 'fitness center', 'fitness room' or 'fitness studio' (appears in 20/20 MLS entries). The amenity is described repeatedly by different agents, indicating a bona fide building-level fitness facility.
No analysis available
Good supporting evidence: MEEROO appears in many MLS entries and several remarks explicitly list 'meeting rooms' or business/meeting spaces. Multiple agents mention these shared meeting/hospitality spaces, indicating a building-level offering.
Multiple listing remarks explicitly reference private lanais, covered lanais, and spacious covered verandas (e.g., 'private lanai', 'covered lanai', 'spacious covered lanai'), and historical MLS checkbox data showed 14 of 20 listings with PATDEC/COVPAT. Evidence is consistent across many agent remarks and aligns with prior high confidence that the building offers patios/decks.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Only a few MLS entries ever marked PRIYAR historically, and across extensive remarks there is no mention of any yard or fenced private ground‑level outdoor space; the property is a high‑rise tower.
No analysis available
Moderate-to-strong support: although RECARE is only checked in 2/20 MLS entries, remarks explicitly list "recreation area"/"recreation deck"/"patio/deck" in multiple places (e.g., "amenities includes...recreation area"). Evidence is present across independent remarks, supporting inclusion despite fewer MLS checkbox confirmations.
No analysis available
Clear, consistent evidence across listings: on-site dining is repeatedly mentioned with named restaurants ('Sushi Sho', 'La Vie', 'Dean & DeLuca', 'Quiora') in numerous remarks, and RESTAU is checked in all MLS entries.
No analysis available
Limited but present evidence: a few public remarks explicitly list a 'sauna' as part of the full-service spa, and the SAUNA checkbox appears in a minority of MLS entries (4/20). The feature likely exists in the building spa but is not widely described across all listings.
No analysis available
Searched for 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', and similar phrases. No evidence found in the remarks to indicate any dedicated surfboard storage facility.
No analysis available
MLS-driven evidence: 19/20 current listings have the TRACHU checkbox checked but public remarks seldom reference it. Given the near-universal MLS checkbox presence across listings, the building likely has a trash chute system, though on-the-ground mentions are sparse.
Valet service is repeatedly mentioned throughout the remarks ('valet parking', 'valet service', 'porte cochere', 'free valet parking for owners'), and the MLS currently lists VALET for 20 of 20 listings. The volume and consistency of explicit mentions across many agents provide very strong evidence the building offers valet service.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: multiple remarks reference 'whirlpool spa', 'jacuzzi' or 'Jacuzzi' (including spa areas and penthouse rooftop jacuzzi), and the WHIRLP checkbox appears frequently across MLS listings.
Strong, consistent evidence across listings: 20 of 20 current listings include the pool amenity and many public remarks explicitly reference 'two pools', 'two infinity pools', 'infinity-edge pools', and pool cabanas. Multiple agents repeatedly advertise the building's resort pools (including separate family/quiet pool areas and reserve-able cabanas), indicating the building clearly offers swimming pool amenities.
Moderate evidence: 11 of 20 current MLS listings include a heated-pool amenity flag, but public remarks across the provided listings do not explicitly state 'heated' (they mention 'infinity pool', 'whirlpool spa', 'jacuzzi', 'plunge pool' for penthouses). Because heated is indicated in MLS amenities on multiple listings but not confirmed in remarks, the pool_heated attribute is marked true with moderate confidence (implied from MLS checkbox data).
Searched for terms like 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool', 'saline pool'. Found no evidence to indicate the pools are saltwater; only references to infinity/resort pools.
All 20 current MLS listings indicate in-unit laundry (20/20). Public remarks repeatedly note "in-unit washer/dryer", "washer and dryer", "in-room laundry", and "washer & dryer", appearing across multiple agent listings. The consistency across many listings and prior high-confidence MLS data supports a strong belief that some (many) units in the building have in-unit laundry.
No analysis available
Searched for 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'paid laundry', 'card operated' etc. Found no references indicating community laundry requires payment; most units advertise in-unit laundry.
Searched remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and similar wording. No evidence found; listings repeatedly note in-unit washer/dryer rather than shared floor-by-floor laundry.
Strong evidence that the building offers parking: numerous current public remarks (many listings in this dataset) explicitly state 'valet parking', 'valet service', or 'valet and concierge services', and historical data showed over 30 listings noting parking. MLS checkbox data also includes parking types on multiple listings, so buyers can expect building-level parking/valet services to be available.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Reviewed remarks for 'deeded parking' or 'parking stall included' and found none. Multiple listings explicitly mention valet/complimentary valet parking for owners, which indicates parking is not described as deeded.
No analysis available
Searched for explicit monthly parking fees and found statements indicating owners receive complimentary valet parking. No monthly parking charge was listed in the public remarks.

Searched remarks for 'parking waitlist'/'waiting list' language and found none. Absence of any reference suggests no advertised waitlist; confidence is low-to-medium due to lack of explicit statement.
No analysis available
Searched remarks for 'key card access', 'fob', 'card reader' and similar terms. Found none; security is described via front desk, 24/7 security, and valet rather than electronic card access.
Multiple listings explicitly reference building security and round‑the‑clock desk/security—phrases include '24/7 security & front desk' and '24-hour front desk service'. Historical MLS data showed SECGUA checked on 11/20 listings and current remarks confirm security presence across many units and agent listings, indicating strong building-level security coverage rather than isolated claims.
Public remarks repeatedly describe 24/7 security, front desk service, and guard presence, indicating active security/patrol operations in the building.
No analysis available
Strong MLS evidence supports building central air: 19 of 20 current listings include ACCEN/CENAC in unit_features and 19 of 20 list ACCEN in inclusions. Public remarks across listings do not explicitly say "central air" (they focus on amenities, appliances, and trade winds), but the consistent MLS checkbox usage across multiple listings/agents provides high confidence that the building has central air conditioning.

Strong, consistent MLS checkbox evidence indicates the building is concrete: 20 of 20 current MLS listings list construction_materials=CONCRE (previously 19/20). Public remarks for the units do not explicitly state construction material, but the unanimity of MLS construction_materials entries across multiple listings/agents provides high confidence that the building is concrete and there is no contradictory information to suggest otherwise.

Confidence 80%: STEFRA appears in construction_materials for 2/20 listings; as a modern high-rise Ritz-Carlton, a steel frame or steel-reinforced structure is typical even if not consistently checked by agents.

Some evidence that the building is above-ground: 3 of 20 current MLS listings are marked ABOGRO and the public remarks repeatedly reference 'Tower', 'high-floor', and multiple floors/lanai/penthouse features consistent with an above-grade high-rise. The evidence is moderate and appears implied by unit descriptions rather than explicit construction statements.

Public remarks repeatedly reference eligibility/enrollment in the Ritz hotel rental pool and that units can be placed in the hotel rental program, indicating short-term (hotel-style) rentals are allowed.
Public remarks repeatedly mention the Ritz hotel rental pool and that units are eligible or currently enrolled, confirming hotel rental pool participation is available in the building.
Reviewed listings for mandatory participation language. Multiple remarks explicitly state units can opt in or out of the hotel rental program (some units 'never been in the hotel pool' or 'able to add back'), so participation is optional, not mandatory.

Searched remarks for 'lease expires', 'land lease', 'ground lease', and explicit 4-digit expiry years. Found no specific lease-expiry year or renewal language, so the expiry year is unknown.
Searched all public remarks for phrases such as 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans accepted'. No listings referenced VA loan approval or acceptance, so we keep false with low confidence.
I searched all remarks for wording indicating comprehensive or 'walls-in' HOA insurance (e.g., 'fully insured', 'full insurance', 'walls-in coverage'); there were no mentions. Because there is no explicit statement that the HOA fully insures the building, I return false with medium confidence.
17 of 20 current MLS listings include the FIRSPR (fire sprinkler) amenity; none of the public remarks explicitly mention sprinklers. Given the prior High confidence and the consistent MLS checkbox across multiple listings (despite likely agent copy/paste), evidence supports that the building has a fire sprinkler system.
I searched the remarks for phrases such as 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'passed fire inspection', 'fire safety certified', and related terms; none were present. With no explicit mention and no existing current true value, I mark this false with medium confidence (absence of mention suggests it was not advertised).
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Strong evidence across the public remarks: 20+ listing remarks explicitly mention ocean/Pacific/shoreline views (e.g., "sweeping views of the ocean", "Pacific vistas", "stunning ocean views from the lanai"). Mentions appear across many different listings/agents and align with prior historical high-confidence data, indicating the building does offer ocean-view units.
Multiple listings (20+ remarks) explicitly state mountain/Ko'olau views (e.g., "Ko'olau Mountains", "mountain vistas", "lanai facing the mountains"), with consistency across listings and agents. This corroborates historical data and indicates the building offers mountain-view units.
Strong, consistent evidence in the remarks: 20+ listings explicitly reference Diamond Head (phrases like "partial Diamond Head", "Diamond Head-facing corner unit", "views of Diamond Head Crater"). These repeated agent remarks align with historical confidence and show the building offers Diamond Head-view units.
Numerous listings (20+ remarks) explicitly reference city or skyline views (e.g., "Waikiki skyline", "city skyline", "city and park views"). The recurrence across many agent remarks and alignment with historical data support including city views as a building-level offering.
Several listings explicitly reference the coastline or shoreline (for example "Waikiki Beach shoreline", "panoramic coastline views", and "views of the shoreline"), showing the building offers coastline-view units. These repeated explicit mentions across multiple agent remarks plus prior high historical confidence justify view_coastline=true.

Some listings explicitly mention 'morning sunrises with views of paradise' and 'Sunrise/Sunset views', indicating certain units have good sunrise exposure.
Numerous listings mention sunset or west-facing views: the remarks include many references such as "breathtaking sunsets", "sunset views over Fort DeRussy park", and "watch the Friday night fireworks" from lanais. The repeated, specific sunset language across different units and marketing copy indicates sunset/west-facing exposures are a common and genuine feature of units in this building.
No analysis available
Numerous listings explicitly advertise Friday-night/Waikiki fireworks views from lanais and residences. Multiple quotes in the remarks confirm that owners can view the fireworks from their units.

RESMAN is checked in about half of the MLS entries and remarks describe a 'residential team', 'branded residence concierge', and extensive on‑site management typical of a resident‑managed condotel.
