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.

I searched for direct owner-occupancy statements such as percentages or phrases like "majority owner occupied," but found none. The remarks only describe individual units as privately used or never rented, which is not enough to infer building-wide owner occupancy. The current value is retained with low confidence because there is no contrary evidence.
I searched the remarks for building-level elevator counts such as "4 elevators," "five elevators," or similar phrasing, but found no explicit count. Given the current value already exists and there is no contrary evidence, it is kept as-is with low confidence. The building context (39 floors, 246 units) makes 5 elevators plausible, but remarks do not confirm 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.
Cable TV inclusion is extremely well supported at the building level. Current MLS history shows CABTV in association fees for 20 of 20 listings, and there are no remarks suggesting otherwise. This looks like a consistent building-level inclusion rather than a one-off agent entry.
Common-area electricity is strongly supported as part of the association fee. Current MLS data shows OTCOEX in 17 of 20 listings, which is consistent across many recent listings. No remarks contradict this, and the pattern looks building-level rather than copy-paste noise.
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
Hot water inclusion appears to be supported in a majority of recent MLS listings. Current data shows HOTWAT in 11 of 20 listings, while only 1 listing includes WTRHTR, so the balance still favors building-supplied hot water being included. The remarks themselves do not directly address hot water, so this is driven mostly by MLS patterns.
Internet service appears to be included in the maintenance fee for this building. Current MLS history shows INTSER in 18 of 20 listings, which is strong and consistent support. No current remarks conflict with that pattern.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is one of the most reliable building features in the MLS data. Current MLS history shows SEWER in 20 of 20 listings, making this essentially universal across recent listings. The remarks do not suggest any exception.
Water inclusion is overwhelmingly supported at the building level. Current MLS data shows WATER in 20 of 20 listings, indicating a consistent association-fee inclusion across all recent examples. There is no contrary evidence in the remarks.
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 service is clearly present and consistently advertised throughout the building. Dozens of remarks mention concierge by name, including phrases like "valet & concierge services," "concierge services," and "branded residence concierge," matching the 20/20 MLS pattern. The evidence is overwhelming and consistent across many listings.
No analysis available
Doorman/lobby-attendant service is implied by repeated mentions of "24-hour front desk service," "front desk," "bell service," and porte cochere. The evidence is not always explicit with the word doorman, but it appears in multiple listings and aligns with the building’s branded hotel-style service model. This is stronger than a single-agent copy/paste claim.
Exercise amenities are strongly confirmed across the listings. Multiple remarks explicitly reference a 'fitness room,' 'fitness center,' 'gym,' and even a 'yoga studio,' showing this is a shared building amenity rather than a copy-paste anomaly. Historical MLS data is highly consistent as well, with 19/20 listings showing EXEROO.
No analysis available
Meeting/conference space is supported by both public remarks and MLS data. One listing directly says the building includes 'meeting rooms,' which aligns with the 18/20 current MLS amenity pattern. The evidence suggests a real shared building feature, even though it is mentioned less often than fitness or dining amenities.
There is very strong evidence the building offers patio/deck-type outdoor spaces. Across many listings, agents repeatedly reference 'covered lanai,' 'private lanai,' 'spacious lanai,' and 'covered lanai with 180-degree views,' which is consistent with a building-level amenity buyers would search for. The evidence appears consistent across multiple listings and is not limited to a single unit.

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.
Restaurant/dining amenities are extremely well supported. Many listings explicitly describe 'on-site dining,' 'three restaurants,' 'fine dining,' and specific venues such as Sushi Sho, La Vie, Quiora, and Dean & DeLuca. The MLS data is unanimous (20/20), so this appears to be a confirmed building-level feature.
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
I looked for dedicated surfboard storage references and related terms like board storage or surf storage. Nothing in the public remarks indicates that the building offers surfboard storage.
No analysis available
Trash chute is supported primarily by the MLS amenity pattern rather than by public remarks, but the MLS evidence is very strong at 19/20 listings. None of the provided remarks contradict it, and there is no sign of an agent correction. This is a high-confidence building feature despite being rarely described publicly.
Valet service is clearly a building-wide amenity. Numerous remarks explicitly mention 'valet service,' 'valet parking,' 'full valet,' and 'complimentary valet parking,' showing consistent confirmation across listings and agents. This is strong, repeated evidence rather than a one-off remark or copy-paste anomaly.
No analysis available
Whirlpool/spa access is well supported across the listings. Several remarks explicitly refer to 'jacuzzi,' 'whirlpool spa,' or similar spa-style soaking amenities, aligning with the MLS pattern of 15/20 listings. The evidence suggests a real shared amenity, though it is not mentioned in every listing.
Pool is overwhelmingly confirmed across the listing set. Dozens of remarks from multiple agents describe shared amenities such as 'two separate infinity-edge pools,' 'two pools,' and 'adult and family pools,' which strongly indicates the building offers pool access. The evidence is consistent and appears repeatedly across the listings rather than being a one-off copy-paste error.
Heated pool has mixed support: the MLS amenity flag appears in 10 of 20 listings, but the public remarks mostly say "infinity pools," "two pools," or "resort-style pool" without explicitly stating heated. This is enough for moderate confidence that the feature may exist, but not enough for a strong explicit confirmation. The evidence looks more like partial MLS support than repeated firsthand verification.
I searched for wording such as "salt water pool," "saltwater pool," and "saline pool." The remarks mention infinity pools, plunge pools, and resort-style pools, but nothing identifies them as saltwater.
In-unit laundry is strongly supported and appears consistent across the building. Dozens of current remarks explicitly mention it, with many listings stating "in-unit washer/dryer" or "washer and dryer in unit," indicating this is not a one-off agent error or copy-paste issue. This feature should be treated as a reliable building-level offering.
No analysis available
I looked for terms such as coin laundry, quarters, card-operated machines, laundry fee, or coin-op. The remarks repeatedly reference in-unit washer/dryer, and nothing indicates paid shared laundry facilities.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like "laundry on each floor," "laundry room on every floor," and similar shared-laundry references. The listings consistently mention in-unit washer/dryer instead, so there is no evidence of community laundry on every floor.
Parking is strongly supported across the listing remarks. Dozens of entries explicitly mention valet parking or valet services, including phrases like "valet parking," "valet service," and "complimentary valet parking service for owners." This appears to be consistent building-wide amenity information rather than isolated copy-paste noise.
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.
I searched for indicators like "deeded parking," "owned stall," or "parking included with the unit" and found none. The remarks repeatedly reference valet parking instead, which does not indicate deeded parking.
No analysis available
I looked for any stated parking charge, monthly parking rental, or valet rate, but no amount was provided. The listings mention valet parking and valet services, but do not specify a separate parking fee.
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
I searched for references to a parking waitlist, parking waiting list, or joining a waitlist for parking and found none. The remarks discuss valet parking only, so there is no evidence of a waitlist system.
No analysis available
I looked for security language like key card access, fob access, card readers, or electronic entry. The remarks mention concierge, valet, front desk, and security, but not a card/fob access system.
Security guard service is well supported at this building. Current public remarks explicitly mention "24-hour security" and "24/7 security & front desk," and this aligns with the prior high-confidence MLS pattern (12/20 listings with SECGUA). The evidence appears consistent across multiple listings and agents.
I searched for references to patrol service, roving security, or patrolled building wording. The listings describe 24/7 security and front desk service, but do not mention a patrol operation.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is strongly supported by MLS history across all 20 listings, with every record showing ACCEN/CENAC and ACCEN included. The current public remarks don’t explicitly repeat “central AC,” but nothing suggests a change, and the building’s newer luxury-resort profile is consistent with building-wide HVAC. This appears to be a stable building feature rather than a copy-paste anomaly.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Concrete construction is strongly supported by the MLS records and the remarks. Across the listings, the building is repeatedly described as a high-rise/tower luxury residence, and the MLS data is unanimous at 20/20 for CONCRE. This looks like a stable building-level fact rather than copy-paste error.
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
2 of 20 current listings include 'STEFRA' in construction_materials and prior data indicated medium confidence for steel-frame/steel-reinforced structure. Public remarks are silent on steel framing, so evidence is moderate and implied (few MLS entries and building type suggest possibility) rather than explicit.
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
There is some evidence the building is above-ground, but it is mostly indirect. Only 3/20 MLS listings are marked ABOGRO, while the remarks consistently refer to the property as a tower/high-rise and the newer Tower 2, which supports an above-ground interpretation. The evidence is weaker than for concrete and does not appear to be explicitly confirmed in the remarks.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly say owners can participate in the hotel rental program or hotel pool, which is direct evidence that short-term/hotel-style rental is allowed. Some listings also note the unit is eligible for the Ritz hotel rental pool or can be used as a vacation rental.
There is abundant direct evidence that the building participates in a hotel rental pool/program. Multiple listings describe units as eligible for or currently in the Ritz hotel rental pool.
The public remarks indicate hotel-pool participation is optional rather than mandatory. Several listings say a unit has never been in the hotel pool or that the owner has the option to join, which rules out a mandatory pool requirement.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for leasehold wording such as "lease expires," "ground lease ends," "renewed through," or any 4-digit lease expiry year and found nothing. Since no specific expiry year is stated in the public remarks, the value remains unknown.
I searched the public remarks for explicit VA-lending language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," or "VA loans accepted" and found none. With no evidence in the remarks, this is left false at low confidence.
I looked for HOA insurance language such as "fully insured," "walls-in coverage," and "full insurance," but the remarks do not mention any of these. With no current positive value and no supporting evidence, this is set to false with low confidence due to lack of mention.
Fire sprinklers appear to be a building-wide feature with very strong MLS support: 17 of 20 current listings have the FIRSPR amenity checked. The public remarks do not explicitly mention sprinklers or fire suppression, but there is no evidence of a correction or recent change, so the MLS data remains persuasive.
I searched the remarks for fire/life safety compliance language, including FLSE-related wording and references to passing fire inspections, but found nothing. Since there is no current positive value and no evidence in the remarks, this remains false with low confidence based on 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 overwhelmingly supported across the building. Dozens of listings explicitly mention 'ocean views,' 'Pacific Ocean,' 'blue-water views,' or 'ocean view over Fort DeRussy Park,' indicating this is a consistent building-level feature rather than a one-off unit amenity.
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.
City views are well supported, though not as universal as ocean views. Multiple listings from different units describe 'city,' 'Waikiki skyline,' 'city lights,' and 'urban' views, suggesting the building commonly offers city-view units.
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 appear repeatedly across the listings and are explicitly called out in many remarks. The wording ranges from direct 'sunset views' to supporting cues like west-facing units, evening sunsets, and Friday night fireworks, confirming this as a real building feature.
No analysis available
There are repeated direct references to Friday-night fireworks views from units and lanais in this building. This is strong, explicit evidence that fireworks can be viewed from the residences.

7 of 20 MLS entries include the RESMAN checkbox and several remarks state phrases like "A residential team is at your service," "branded residence concierge," and references to on-site concierge/housekeeping/management. These multiple agent remarks imply an on-site management team (supporting inclusion for buyer searches), but none explicitly say 'resident manager' or 'live-in manager,' so confidence is moderate and the evidence may be partially copy‑pasted.
