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.

The remarks were searched for explicit owner-occupancy percentages and descriptions such as "majority owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied." No qualifying information was found, so the current value of 5.0% is retained with low confidence.
The remarks were searched for explicit statements such as "4 elevators," "five elevators," and "multiple elevators." No evidence was found to confirm or deny the current value, so the verified 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.
No listings explicitly mention central air conditioning being included in maintenance fees. ACCEN is present in 6 of 20 current listings, which suggests the feature may apply but is not consistently documented across agents.
No public remarks explicitly state that cable TV is included. However, 19 of 20 listings include CABTV in the association-fee inclusions, indicating strong building-wide MLS support, although the coding may be repeated copy-paste data.
No public remarks specifically quote common-area electricity or common electric as included. Nevertheless, 18 of 20 listings code OTCOEX in the association fees, providing strong, repeated MLS evidence.
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 state that hot water is included. HOTWAT is coded in 14 of 20 listings and WTRHTR appears in none, creating strong MLS support for building-supplied hot water.
No listing remarks explicitly say that internet or Wi-Fi is included. However, 17 of 20 listings include INTSER in the association-fee fields, providing strong repeated MLS evidence despite the lack of narrative confirmation.
No analysis available
No public remarks specifically discuss sewer charges. SEWER is included in 20 of 20 listings, making the evidence effectively universal across the current MLS records.
No listing remarks explicitly state that water is included in maintenance fees. WATER is coded in 20 of 20 current listings, providing consistent building-wide MLS evidence.
BBQ-related language appears only in a small number of penthouse remarks and describes private rooftop amenities, including a "Wolf grill" and "private rooftop amenity with ... BBQ area." The current 3/20 MLS checks therefore appear to be unit-specific or copied checkbox data, not evidence of a shared building BBQ facility.

Concierge service is overwhelmingly validated: CONCIE appears in 19/20 current listings, and many remarks from multiple listings explicitly mention "concierge," "concierge services," or "24-hour concierge." The repeated references are consistent with a building-level Ritz-Carlton service, though some standardized luxury-amenity language may be copied between listings.
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 facilities are mentioned across many independent listings, including "state-of-the-art fitness center," "fitness room," "fitness studio," and "fitness gym." The evidence is strong and consistent across numerous agents and aligns with the current 19/20 MLS amenity frequency.
No analysis available
One listing specifically states that amenities include "meeting rooms," while 19 of 20 current MLS records carry the meeting-room amenity. Although the phrase is not repeated in most remarks, the explicit confirmation plus strong MLS consistency supports inclusion.
Patio/deck access is strongly supported across many listings, with well over 20 remarks mentioning phrases such as "private lanai," "covered lanai," "large usable lanai," "spacious lanai," and "expansive lanai." The feature is also present in 17 of 20 current MLS records, indicating a genuine building-level offering rather than isolated or copied remarks.
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 restaurants and dining facilities are repeatedly and specifically mentioned across the remarks, including Sushi Sho, La Vie, Quiora, Dean & Deluca, cafés, and gourmet marketplaces. The evidence is widespread across many listings and fully supports the 20/20 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 describe the property’s proximity to surfing and beaches. No dedicated surfboard-storage facility within the building is identified.
No analysis available
No provided listing remarks mention a trash-chute system directly, so textual confirmation is absent. Nevertheless, the feature is checked in 17 of 20 current MLS records, making it more likely to be a building-level MLS amenity than an isolated agent error, though confidence remains below the explicitly confirmed features.
Valet service is exceptionally well supported: all 20 of 20 current listings include the VALET amenity, and many remarks explicitly mention "valet parking," "valet service," or "full-service valet." The repeated references across varied listings and descriptions of owner valet benefits strongly confirm this is a building-wide service.
No analysis available
Several listings explicitly identify whirlpool-related amenities, including "whirlpool spa," "Jacuzzi spa," and "jacuzzi." While some penthouse remarks describe private rooftop spas, other listings refer to whirlpool or Jacuzzi amenities as part of the resort/building amenity package, supporting inclusion.
Pool amenities are overwhelmingly confirmed across the listing set: at least 40 listings explicitly mention a pool or pools, with repeated references from many different listing descriptions to two infinity pools, resort-style swimming pools, and adult/family pools. A few penthouses also describe private rooftop plunge pools, but the shared building pools are independently and consistently documented across numerous agents.
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 building’s pools are well documented, including multiple infinity pools. No public remark confirms or denies that the pools use salt water, so the feature is treated as false under the no-mention rule.
At least 20 listings explicitly mention in-unit laundry, including “in-unit washer/dryer,” “washer and dryer in unit,” “washer/dryer,” and “in-room laundry.” The evidence is strong across many listings and agents and is consistent with the current MLS inclusion data showing 20/20 listings.
No analysis available
Laundry references are limited to appliances within the units. No evidence was found of a paid community laundry service.
The listings consistently describe washers and dryers inside individual residences rather than shared floor-by-floor facilities. No remarks mention laundry on every floor or a community laundry room.
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 repeatedly presented as a valet service rather than as a parking stall owned with the unit. No listing states that parking is deeded, included in the deed, or an owned stall.
No analysis available
The remarks do not identify a recurring monthly parking fee or separate parking rental charge. References to monthly reserve, maintenance, and other fees are not identified as parking fees, while owner valet parking is described as free or complimentary.
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 reference to a parking waitlist system. Therefore, there is no public-remarks evidence of a parking waitlist.
No analysis available
The listings establish staffed building and hotel security services but do not describe card or fob access. No qualifying access-control terminology was found.
Security is supported by the historical high-confidence evidence and current MLS data in 13/20 listings. Multiple remarks explicitly mention "24/7 security & front desk," "24-hour security," or "24-hour front desk service," although some references may combine security with front-desk operations.
General security and front-desk coverage are mentioned, but these do not specifically confirm a patrol service. No explicit security-patrol wording was found.
No analysis available
0 of the supplied public-remark excerpts explicitly mention central air conditioning, HVAC, forced air, or fan-coil systems. However, current MLS data is highly consistent across listings, with ACCEN/CENAC appearing in 19 of 20 unit-feature records and ACCEN in all 20 inclusions, supporting central air as a building feature rather than an isolated unit claim.
No analysis available
No analysis available
All 20 current listings identify concrete construction through the MLS construction-materials field marked “CONCRE.” Although the public remarks generally focus on luxury finishes, amenities, and tower residences rather than structural materials, the evidence is exceptionally strong and consistent across the full listing set.
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 data. Public remarks provide broad structural support by repeatedly describing high-floor and tower residences, but the evidence is partly implied rather than an explicit construction statement and may reflect copied MLS terminology.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Short-term and hotel-style rental use is repeatedly supported across the listings. Although some individual units are described as personal residences or having 30-day-plus rental terms, the building-level remarks clearly establish that hotel rental and vacation-rental options are available.
The building clearly participates in the Ritz-Carlton hotel rental pool or rental program. Listings repeatedly describe units as enrolled, eligible, temporarily removed, or able to rejoin the program.
Hotel-pool participation is not mandatory for all units. Multiple listings describe optional participation, personal use, long-term rentals, units never placed in the pool, and owners opting out or temporarily removing units from the program.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for leasehold and land-lease language, including expiration dates, ground leases, and renewal or extension terms. No specific lease expiry year was found.
The public remarks were searched for explicit VA-related terms, including “VA approved,” “VA financing,” and “VA loans accepted.” No such language was 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 this is set to false with medium-low confidence under the absence-of-mention rule.
Fire sprinklers are marked in 19 of 20 current listings, supporting that the building has a sprinkler system. None of the provided remarks explicitly use phrases such as "fire sprinkler" or "sprinkler system," so the evidence comes primarily from strong, repeated MLS checkbox data rather than independent agent descriptions.
The remarks were searched for fire/life-safety 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 this is set to false with medium-low confidence under the absence-of-mention rule.
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 confirmed in all 20 of 20 current listings, with consistent references to ocean, Pacific Ocean, blue-water, and Waikiki coastline views. The evidence is strong across many distinct remarks and is not dependent on a single apparent copy-paste description.
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 appear in 15 of 20 current listings and are supported by multiple explicit descriptions, including city skyline, Waikiki skyline, urban, and city-and-ocean views. Although not every unit has this orientation, the building clearly offers city-view residences.
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 mentioned in 11 of 20 current listings, including repeated references to stunning sunsets, sunset vistas, and Friday night fireworks. The recurrence across different unit descriptions strongly supports sunset-view availability in the building, even though it is orientation-dependent.
No analysis available
There is overwhelming direct evidence that units and private lanais have views of Friday-night fireworks. This is repeatedly stated across multiple listings.

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.
