The Ritz-Carlton Residences Tower 2
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 percentages such as "80% owner occupied" and descriptions such as "majority owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied." No evidence was found to confirm or deny the current value, so 5.0% is retained with low confidence.
The remarks were searched for explicit statements such as "4 elevators," "five elevators," or "multiple elevators." No qualifying statement was found, so the verified current value of 5 is retained with low confidence because there is no evidence in the 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.
Central air inclusion has moderate MLS support but is not explicitly discussed in the remarks. Current MLS data shows ACCEN in 8 of 20 listings, suggesting some building-level support but not universal certainty. This appears to be weaker than the utilities that are nearly always included.
None of the provided public remarks explicitly state that cable TV is included. However, CABTV appears in 19 of 20 current listings, consistent with the previously high-confidence building-level feature and strong evidence across multiple listings.
No public remarks explicitly quote common-area electricity or common electric as included. Current MLS data includes OTCOEX in 18 of 20 listings, providing strong multi-listing support despite the absence of explicit remark language.
No analysis available
Only 1 of 20 current MLS listings marks general electricity (ELECTR) as included and none of the public remarks state 'electricity included.' The near-unanimous absence across listings and remarks indicates electricity-for-unit billing is not an association-wide included fee.
No analysis available
No public remarks explicitly mention hot water being included. Nevertheless, 13/20 listings code HOTWAT and 0/20 code WTRHTR, providing moderate-to-strong building-level evidence that hot water is included, though less consistently than the other utilities.
None of the provided remarks explicitly say that internet or Wi-Fi is included in the maintenance fee. INTSER is coded in 17 of 20 current listings, a strong pattern consistent with the previously high-confidence feature.
No analysis available
No listing remarks specifically state that sewer is included in the maintenance fee. Nevertheless, SEWER appears in 20 of 20 current listings, making the building-level evidence unanimous and highly reliable.
The provided remarks do not explicitly state that water is included or quote a water-fee provision. WATER appears in all 20 current listings, providing unanimous support across the available MLS records.
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.

Concierge is strongly validated across numerous independent listing remarks, far exceeding the stated historical evidence threshold. Many listings explicitly describe concierge service or a staffed/front desk operation, including "24-hour concierge," "concierge services," and "24-hour front desk service," confirming this is an ongoing building amenity rather than a copied checkbox alone.
No analysis available
Several listings reference "24-hour front desk service," "bell service," and staffed Ritz-Carlton arrival services, indicating an attended lobby rather than an unstaffed entrance. This supports the current DOORMA designation in 3 of 20 listings and is consistent with the building's high historical confidence.
Fitness amenities are confirmed across many independent listing remarks, including "fitness center," "fitness room," "fitness studio," "fitness gym," and "state-of-the-art fitness center." The feature is also present in 18 of 20 current MLS records, making the evidence strong and consistent across agents.
No analysis available
One listing specifically identifies "meeting rooms" among the Ritz-Carlton amenities, while 19 of 20 current MLS listings carry the meeting-room amenity. Although explicit remark support is limited, the strong MLS consistency and prior high confidence support including it.
Well over 20 listings mention outdoor space, including "private lanai," "covered lanai," "spacious lanai," "large usable lanai," and "expansive lanai." The repeated references across many unit types and agents strongly confirm that patio/deck or lanai space is offered in the building, although some wording appears reused in listing templates.
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
Evidence supports a shared recreation area amenity in the building. One remark explicitly lists "recreation area" alongside pool, patio/deck, and restaurant, and the historical MLS data shows RECARE in 5 of 20 listings. The feature appears credible and building-wide rather than a one-off unit attribute.
Limited evidence: RECROO appears on 4/20 MLS entries and a few public remarks include phrases like 'recreation area' or 'recreation area and restaurant.' The evidence is sparse and likely reflects a shared small rec area in some parts of the property rather than a prominent, repeatedly advertised amenity.
On-site dining is repeatedly confirmed with phrases such as "on-site restaurants," "three restaurants," "renowned Sushi Sho," "La Vie," "Quiora," "Dean & Deluca," and "on-site dining." Evidence is widespread across many listing remarks and fully consistent with the MLS data.
No analysis available
Sauna is explicitly confirmed in the remarks, most clearly in the phrase 'full spa with a sauna.' While historical MLS support is limited (5/20), the direct mention is strong enough to validate the feature. This looks like a real amenity associated with the spa rather than an MLS copy-paste artifact.
No analysis available
The listings reference Waikiki Beach, ocean views, water activities, and nearby beaches. None identifies a dedicated surfboard-storage facility within the building.
No analysis available
No current listing remarks use the phrases "trash chute," "garbage chute," or "refuse chute." Nevertheless, 17 of 20 current MLS records carry the trash-chute amenity, which is meaningful but may reflect copied checkbox data; the feature is included with moderate confidence pending direct confirmation.
Valet is exceptionally well supported across the building: all 20 of 20 current listings include the VALET amenity, while many remarks explicitly state "valet parking," "valet service," or "complimentary valet parking service for owners." The repeated confirmation across numerous listings and agents indicates this is a genuine building-level service rather than an isolated copy-paste error.
No analysis available
Several listings explicitly confirm whirlpool-related amenities, including "whirlpool spa," "Jacuzzi spa," and "jacuzzi." While some references concern penthouse rooftop spas, ordinary studio and residence listings also mention the building's whirlpool/Jacuzzi amenity, supporting inclusion for buyers searching for this feature.
Swimming pools are overwhelmingly confirmed across the listing set, with 20/20 current listings carrying pool-related MLS amenities and numerous independent remarks describing the building's shared infinity, resort-style, or swimming pools. The repeated references across many listings and agents strongly establish that the building offers pools.
Nine of 20 current listings include the HEAPOO amenity code, which is consistent with a heated pool, but no public remark explicitly uses the phrase 'heated pool' or provides heating details. Pool availability is strongly confirmed, while heating is moderately supported by MLS data and may reflect copied amenity coding.
The listings consistently confirm that the building has one or more pools, often described as infinity-edge pools. No public remark identifies the pool water as saltwater, salt, or saline.
At least 20 listings explicitly mention in-unit laundry, including phrases such as "in-unit washer/dryer," "washer and dryer in unit," "washer/dryer in the unit," and "in-room laundry." The evidence is strong across numerous listings and agents, and the 20/20 current MLS inclusion data confirms that in-unit laundry is available in the building.
No analysis available
Laundry references consistently concern appliances located inside individual residences. The remarks provide no evidence of a paid community laundry service, coin laundry, or laundry fees.
The remarks repeatedly describe private in-unit washers and dryers, such as “in-unit washer/dryer” and “washer/dryer in unit.” No community laundry room or laundry facility on every floor was identified.
Well over 20 listings mention parking, most commonly quoting "valet parking," "valet services," "complimentary valet parking service for owners," or "Free valet parking for owners." The evidence is widespread across many listings and agents, strongly confirming that the building offers parking despite 12/20 current MLS records showing NONE.
No analysis available
There is no explicit mention of covered parking in the public remarks. While the building clearly offers valet parking, that does not by itself confirm covered stalls/garage access for this feature, so I am not treating it as verified.
Parking is consistently described as valet parking rather than as an owned or deeded stall. No remarks indicate that a parking space is included with the deed, so deeded parking is not supported by the public remarks.
No analysis available
The remarks do not identify a recurring monthly parking charge. However, explicit references to free or complimentary valet parking for owners support a parking fee of $0 per month.
I found no public-remarks evidence for guest parking. The listings repeatedly discuss valet service and building amenities, but none explicitly mention guest or visitor parking, so this feature is not supported by the remarks.
No analysis available
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks extensively discuss valet parking but contain no references to a parking waitlist system. Therefore, there is no public-remarks evidence that the building has a parking waitlist.
No analysis available
Some remarks mention concierge services, a 24-hour front desk, and general building or hotel security. They do not establish that residents use a card- or fob-based access system.
Multiple listings explicitly mention "24-hour security" or "24/7 security & front desk," with additional references to hotel-building security and staffed services. The evidence is strong across several remarks and aligns with the current MLS checkbox appearing in 13 of 20 listings.
The remarks mention 24/7 security, front-desk personnel, concierge services, and hotel security. These references do not specifically confirm a dedicated security patrol service.
No analysis available
None of the supplied public-remark excerpts explicitly mention central air conditioning, HVAC, forced air, or fan-coil systems. However, 19 of 20 listings identify ACCEN/CENAC in unit features and all 20 identify ACCEN in inclusions, indicating strong, consistent MLS evidence across the building rather than an isolated agent entry.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Concrete construction is consistently reported across all 20 current listings through the MLS construction-materials field marked “CONCRE.” The remarks primarily describe the building’s luxury amenities and residences rather than construction materials, but none contradict the strong, consistent MLS evidence.
There is no remark-level support for double-wall construction in any of the listings. Although 6/20 MLS records are marked DOUWAL, none of the public remarks describe double-wall, two-wall, or similar construction details, which strongly suggests the checkbox is being copied without verification. This is treated as a correction against a likely data-entry mistake.
Hollow tile is not supported by the remarks and appears only once in current MLS data. Across the large set of remarks for this building, there are no references to hollow tile construction or any similar language, so this feature does not look reliable for the building.
No analysis available
Steel-frame construction is indicated in 2 of 20 current listings through the MLS code "STEFRA." No remarks quote "steel frame" or "steel frame construction," so the evidence is limited and may reflect checkbox inconsistency, but it does not meet the criteria for confidently correcting the feature to false.
Concrete slab foundation is not explicitly supported by the remarks and appears only once in the current MLS data. Because there is no repeated mention across listings, this feature should be treated as unconfirmed for the building.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Three of 20 current listings identify "ABOGRO" in the MLS construction-materials field. Public remarks frequently reference high-floor and tower residences, including units on the 16th through 30th floors, providing indirect support; however, no listing explicitly states "above ground construction," so confidence remains moderate.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Short-term or hotel-style rental use is repeatedly supported across the listings. Remarks describe hotel rental pool participation, vacation rental use, and the ability to join or rejoin the rental program, although some individual units are described as personal residences or never rented.
The building clearly participates in a Ritz-Carlton hotel rental pool or rental program. Listings repeatedly describe units as enrolled, eligible, or able to participate in that program.
Hotel-pool participation is not mandatory for all units. Multiple listings describe optional participation, personal use, long-term rentals, and units that have never been in or have opted out of the hotel rental program.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for leasehold and ground-lease language, including lease expiration and extension terms. No applicable lease expiry year or renewal date was found, so the expiry year is unknown.
The public remarks were searched for explicit terms such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted." None were found, so there is no evidence that the building is VA loan approved.
The remarks were searched for statements such as "fully insured," "full insurance," "comprehensive building insurance," and "walls-in coverage." No qualifying insurance statement or explicit denial was found, so the feature is set to false with medium-low confidence.
Fire sprinklers are marked in 18 of 20 current listings. No remarks explicitly quote “fire sprinkler,” “sprinkler system,” or “fire suppression,” but the feature appears consistently across listings and is supported by strong MLS evidence rather than a single agent’s entry.
The remarks were searched for fire/life safety evaluation language, including "FLSE passed," "fire safety certified," "life safety compliant," and "passed fire inspection." None of these statements or an explicit denial was found, so the feature is set to 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.
No analysis available
Ocean views are overwhelmingly established across the building, with all 20 of 20 current listings mentioning OCEAN. Remarks include "sweeping ocean views," "breathtaking ocean views," "Pacific Ocean views," and "stunning ocean views," demonstrating strong evidence across multiple units rather than a single copied remark.
Mountain views are a legitimate building offering, with 2 of 20 current listings flagged and multiple remarks confirming them. Key phrases include "Ko'olau Mountains," "lush mountains," "mountain vistas," and "lanai that faces the majestic mountains," indicating the feature is not merely an isolated checkbox error.
Diamond Head views are strongly supported for at least some units, with 2 of 20 current listings flagged and numerous remarks confirming the feature. Examples include "partial Diamond Head," "Diamond Head Crater," "direct Diamond Head views," and "Diamond Head-facing corner unit."
City views are well supported, appearing in 14 of 20 current listings with no listings stating NONE. Key phrases include "city and ocean views," "vibrant city skyline," "Waikiki skyline," and "mesmerizing city lights," indicating that city-view units are available in the building.
Coastline/shoreline views are well-supported (9 of 20 listings include COASTL). Remarks repeatedly reference "Waikiki Beach shoreline", "coastline views" and similar phrases across several listings, indicating that some units offer direct coastline/shoreline vistas.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Marina/harbor-type views are minimally supported: 1 of 20 listings references the Ala Wai Canal (phrase: "Ala Wai Canal"). This indicates some units may have canal/harbor views, but mentions are rare and likely apply to only a few stacks/units.
Some listings explicitly mention 'morning sunrises with views of paradise' and 'Sunrise/Sunset views', indicating certain units have good sunrise exposure.
Sunset views are strongly supported, appearing in 10 of 20 current listings and never contradicted by a NONE designation. Remarks repeatedly cite "beautiful ocean and sunset views," "stunning sunsets," "glowing sunsets," "western" or west-facing exposure, and views of Friday-night fireworks.
No analysis available
There is overwhelming direct evidence that Friday-night fireworks can be viewed from units and private lanais. Several listings specifically describe fireworks views from residences, bedrooms, or lanais.

Only 1 of 20 current listings marks RESMAN, while several remarks use broader language such as “A residential team is at your service” and describe branded residence services. These phrases imply on-site residential support but do not clearly confirm a resident manager, and the low current checkbox frequency suggests possible copy-paste or inconsistent reporting.

Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
