I searched for explicit percentages or clear owner-occupancy statements. Several remarks encourage 'owner-occupant' use or note popularity with owner-occupants, but no numeric percentage or determinative language was provided, so the owner-occupancy percentage remains unknown.
I searched all public remarks for explicit counts or phrases such as '4 elevators', 'four elevators', or 'multiple elevators'. Remarks reference 'elevator equipment' and proximity to elevators but do not state a number, so the exact number of elevators is unknown.
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 substantive evidence that central AC is included in association fees: only 1 of 20 MLS records checked ACCEN and agent remarks overwhelmingly describe split/window units or in-unit AC. No listings state 'central AC included in fees', so we conclude association fees do not include central AC.
Strong evidence that basic cable is included: 15 of 20 MLS records list CABTV and at least one public remark explicitly states "included basic TV cable." Multiple agents and listings repeat the same phrasing, indicating building-level inclusion rather than a single-agent error.
Moderate evidence that common area electrical/other common expenses are covered: 11 of 20 MLS records include OTCOEX. Remarks do not explicitly say "common area electric," so this is inferred from MLS checkbox data and appears to be a repeated MLS entry across multiple listings rather than clear agent copy/paste of a nonexistent amenity.

Only 1/20 MLS records show GAS in association_fee_includes and no public remarks reference gas included. This sparse, uncorroborated indication supports marking gas as not included.
Strong evidence that hot water is NOT included: 17 of 20 listings list in-unit water heaters (WTRHTR) and only 1 listing has HOTWAT checked. No remarks mention "hot water included," so association does not provide hot water as part of fees.
High confidence that basic internet is included: 14 of 20 MLS records show INTSER and multiple public remarks explicitly mention "basic internet/Wi‑Fi" included in utilities, confirming building-level provision across several listings.
No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence: 20 of 20 current MLS records list SEWER in association_fee_includes and agent remarks explicitly state 'water/sewer' is included (e.g., 'included basic TV cable, basic internet/Wi‑Fi, and water/sewer'). Multiple listings across agents use similar phrasing (likely copy-paste), providing consistent confirmation that sewer is included in the maintenance fees.
Strong building-level evidence: 20 of 20 current MLS records list WATER in association_fee_includes and agent remarks explicitly state 'water/sewer' is included (e.g., 'included basic TV cable, basic internet/Wi‑Fi, and water/sewer'). The repeated, consistent language across many listings (likely copy-paste) corroborates that water is included in the maintenance fees.
Clear, widespread evidence: BBQ/grilling facilities are mentioned in 20 listings (quotes include 'BBQ cabanas', 'BBQ pavilions', '9 BBQ stations'). The repeated, detailed references across listings and MLS data support that shared BBQ amenities exist on the amenity deck.

Moderate evidence: MLS shows limited direct 'club house' checkbox (3/20) but many listings reference communal private dining/party/recreation rooms and 'private dining room' or 'party rooms' repeatedly. These shared amenity spaces support including a clubhouse-like feature, though specific use of the exact term 'clubhouse' is less common.
Multiple agent remarks explicitly list 'concierge services' or similar staffed front-desk offerings (e.g., 'Enjoy Sky Ala Moana unparalleled five-star amenities, concierge services...' and '24-hour security, resident manager on-site'). At least four separate listings include the CONCIE amenity in MLS data and several remarks across different agents repeat concierge/front-desk language, indicating consistent building-level concierge/front-desk service rather than an isolated copy‑paste error.
Clear, repeated evidence: dog park/dog run amenities are mentioned in 18 listings (quotes include 'dog park', 'dog run', 'pet friendly'). The frequency and consistency across listings indicate a shared on-site dog area for residents.
No analysis available
Strong, consistent evidence across listings: exercise/fitness amenities are noted in 20 listings (e.g., 'fitness center', 'state of the art fitness center', 'indoor/outdoor gym', 'yoga room'). Mentions appear across multiple agents and units and align with MLS checkbox data, indicating a building-level fitness amenity available to residents.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: multiple listings reference private dining rooms/private rooms/party rooms that serve as meeting or conference-style spaces; MLS historically showed meeting/party room checkboxes in most entries and remarks corroborate.
High confidence that the building offers patios/decks: 18 of 20 MLS listings currently checked PATDEC/COVPAT and numerous agent remarks explicitly mention "private lanai", "open air lanai" (sizes like 96–100 sq ft), and a shared Sky Terrace/amenity deck with outdoor spaces. Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents rather than isolated copy/paste, confirming building-level outdoor patio/deck amenities.
No analysis available
No analysis available
No listings' public remarks (0 of many listings) explicitly describe a private or fenced yard. Several listings reference shared open green spaces, amenity deck, playground, dog park, or private lanais, but there are no mentions of private yard access or enclosed yards—while the MLS amenity checkbox appears set for 1/20 listings, the narrative descriptions indicate this is likely a mistaken checkbox rather than a real building feature.
No analysis available
Strong, building-level evidence: recreation/amenity deck or recreation area is referenced in 20 listings (e.g., 'Sky Terrace', 'amenity deck', 'one of the largest amenity decks', 'recreation deck'). The repeated, consistent descriptions confirm extensive shared outdoor/rec spaces.
Well-supported: recreation/party room amenities are cited in 17 listings (examples: 'private recreation party rooms', 'recreational rooms with full kitchens', 'party rooms'). Multiple listings describe rentable/private event rooms, indicating on-site shared recreation/entertaining spaces.
Moderate-to-strong evidence: ~10 of 20 MLS entries list a restaurant and multiple remarks explicitly name on-site restaurants ('Sera Hawaii', 'Okdongsik') or 'restaurant and bar' and 'poolside bar'. Presence appears in many listings and is corroborated by named venues.
No analysis available
Very strong evidence: sauna (dry & steam) is repeatedly referenced across many public remarks, along with spa/steam room descriptions; MLS data also shows sauna checked in the majority of listings.
Building-level storage is well supported: 13 of 20 current MLS listings have storage indicated in amenities and 10 of 20 list storage in unit features. Multiple listings explicitly mention "storage locker", "storage room", or "storage unit" (some even list locker numbers or note a storage unit being sold separately), showing consistent confirmation across different agents rather than isolated copy/paste entries.
I searched remarks for surfboard-specific storage terms ('surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', 'bike and surfboard storage') and found none. Although storage lockers are repeatedly mentioned (e.g., 'storage locker perfect for your beach gear'), there is no explicit statement that dedicated surfboard storage exists.
No analysis available
Supported: trash chute/garbage chute appears in 18 listings and is listed among building amenities in the public remarks (e.g., 'Trash Chute', 'Trash Chute, and a Whirlpool'). The MLS checkbox data plus textual mentions indicate a building trash chute system is available.
No supporting evidence in public remarks: none of the listings' remarks explicitly reference 'valet', 'valet service', or 'valet parking'. Given that MLS checkboxes show only 1/20 with VALET and historical confidence was absent/low, the lack of any remark across many agent descriptions indicates the valet feature is not a building amenity.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: multiple listings reference whirlpools/jacuzzis/hot tubs and spa facilities (e.g., '4 hot tubs', 'jacuzzis', 'whirlpool spa'), supporting the whirlpool/hot tub amenity for the building.
Strong evidence across virtually all listings: 20/20 MLS checkbox entries indicate pools and many agent remarks reference pools and related facilities (examples: "resort-style amenities with a swimming pool, lap pool," "one of Honolulu’s largest amenity decks, including pools"). Multiple agents describe two pools, lap pool, poolside cabanas and pool bars, indicating the building clearly offers communal swimming facilities rather than isolated or single-unit features.
Multiple listings explicitly state heated pool features — phrases include "two heated salt water pools," "heated lap pool," "heated pools," and "Himalayan heated saltwater and lap pools." At least a dozen distinct remarks reference heating or heated saltwater pools, and ~10/20 MLS entries include the HEAPOO flag, providing strong building-level evidence that the pools are heated.
Several listings explicitly identify the pools and spas as saltwater (including heated saltwater and Himalayan heated saltwater), providing strong evidence the building's pools are saltwater.
All 20 current MLS listings indicate washer/dryer included; public remarks repeatedly note “full size wash/dryer”, “stackable washer/dryer”, and brand mentions like “Electrolux washer and dryer.” The evidence is consistent across many listings and agents (likely copied from unit specs), strongly supporting that some units in the building have in‑unit laundry.
No analysis available
I searched all public remarks for keywords indicating paid community laundry (coin-op, quarters, card-operated, laundry fee, etc.) and found none. Listings uniformly reference in-unit laundry (full-size washer/dryer or stackable units) or storage lockers but do not indicate paid communal laundry facilities.
I searched all public remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry' and found nothing. Many listings mention in-unit washer/dryer or stackable washer/dryer, but there is no statement that community laundry exists on every floor. Absence of relevant phrasing means the feature cannot be confirmed from remarks.
No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence: MLS data lists assigned parking on 17 of 20 records and many listing remarks explicitly state 'assigned', 'designated' or 'deeded' parking (examples: "assigned parking stall with EV-charging", "designated parking space and deeded storage"). Multiple agents and listings consistently mention assigned/deeded stalls, so assigned parking is a reliable building feature.
Very strong evidence: all MLS records (20/20) indicate covered parking and numerous remarks confirm 'covered' or 'covered garage stalls' (examples: "two covered parking stalls", "covered garage parking stall"). The coverage is consistent across many listings and agents, supporting high confidence that the building offers covered parking.
Numerous listings explicitly describe assigned/deeded parking (e.g., 'comes with two covered assigned and deeded parking stalls', 'deeded parking stalls'), often noting two side-by-side covered stalls and EV charging in assigned stalls. This supports high confidence that parking is deeded.
No analysis available
I searched for terms like 'parking fee', 'monthly parking charge', 'parking rental', or similar and found none. Instead, many listings explicitly state assigned/deeded parking stalls (often included with units) and EV chargers, so there is no evidence in the remarks of a separate monthly parking fee.
Moderate evidence for guest parking: 13 of 20 MLS records include the GUEST flag and several listing remarks call out 'guest parking' or 'lots of guest parking'. The mentions appear across different listings/agents but are less ubiquitous than assigned or covered parking, so confidence is moderate.
Good evidence that parking/entry is secured: roughly half the MLS records list SECENT (10/20) and multiple public remarks explicitly mention 'secured parking entry' and 24-hour security. While not every listing calls it out, the repeated agent remarks plus MLS flags indicate the building offers secured parking entry.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for language indicating a parking waiting list or waitlist system (e.g., 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list') and found no references. There is no evidence in the public remarks that the building uses a parking waitlist system.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit mentions of keycard/fob/card reader access and found none. While the remarks frequently reference 'secured entry', 'secured parking entry', '24-hour security', and concierge services, these do not explicitly confirm a card/fob electronic access system in the public remarks, so the feature is not confirmed.
Security is consistently promoted for Sky Ala Moana West: at least 8 separate listings explicitly mention '24hr security' / '24-hour security' or on-site/resident manager/concierge services, and current MLS amenities show SECGUA in many unit records. Mentions appear across different agents and listings rather than being isolated to one copy/paste source, supporting high confidence that the building provides on-site security/guard service.
Several remarks explicitly reference 24-hour security, on-site security/conceirge and resident manager (e.g., '24hr security', '24-hour security', 'concierge services', 'resident manager'), which supports the presence of active security/patrol services in the building.
No analysis available
No analysis available
All current MLS records (20/20) list ACSPL and numerous listing remarks explicitly state split/ductless systems—quotes include 'split AC', 'split A/C in every room', and 'split unit Mitsubishi AC'. The evidence is consistent across many independent listings and agents rather than isolated mentions, indicating the building offers split (ductless/mini-split) AC units in units.
No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence: 19 of 20 MLS checklist entries list CONCRE (concrete/reinforced concrete). Public remarks repeatedly describe a newly completed high-rise (completed late 2023/brand new) but do not explicitly call out an alternate material. Multiple agents consistently used the concrete checkbox across listings, supporting high confidence that the building is concrete.
MLS construction_materials includes DOUWAL for 11/20 listings, but none of the public remarks mention 'double wall' or 'double-wall construction'. Historical confidence was Low and remarks do not confirm the feature; the only support is the MLS checkbox entries which could be copy-paste, so evidence for double-wall construction is weak.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Moderate but weak evidence: 7/20 MLS checklist entries include STEFRA, however none of the public remarks across listings explicitly mention 'steel frame' or describe steel framing. This could reflect some units/building elements recorded as steel in MLS checkboxes (possibly copy/paste). Include feature with low–moderate confidence pending owner/property-manager verification.

Confidence 90%: The building is repeatedly described as a new high-rise concrete tower; 'Above Ground' in this MLS context typically refers to post-and-pier or raised structures, which is incompatible with a modern high-rise; only 2/20 MLS listings check ABOGRO, suggesting checkbox error.

Multiple listings explicitly state that house rules allow monthly/30-day minimum rentals (e.g., 'allowing and efficiently managing 30-day minimum rentals', 'current house rules allow for monthly rentals'), which implies short-term rentals under 30 days are not allowed. Therefore short-term rental (STR) is false with high confidence.
While the development is adjacent to / designed with the Renaissance Marriott and residents have access to hotel amenities, none of the listings describe a hotel rental pool or hotel-managed rental program. Because STR is not allowed, hotel pool participation cannot apply.
I searched for phrases like 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or 'must be in rental program' and found none. Given STR is not allowed (30-day minimum) and there is no evidence of a mandatory hotel-rental pool, this is false with high confidence.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for leasehold/ground lease phrasing and specific expiry years (e.g., 'lease expires 2050', 'leasehold to 2065', 'lease expiry year') across all remarks and found none. Therefore there is no lease expiry year to extract.
I searched the public remarks for explicit VA-related phrases (e.g., 'VA approved', 'VA financing', 'VA loans accepted') and found no references. With no explicit mentions across the listings, VA approval is not supported by the remarks.
I scanned all remarks for explicit statements that the HOA provides full/walls-in insurance coverage. None of the listings use language confirming full building insurance, so there is no evidence in the public remarks that the building is fully insured by the HOA.
Historical MLS checkbox data strongly indicated fire sprinklers (15 of 20 listings). In the current public remarks at least one listing explicitly lists 'Fire Sprinkler' among building amenities and many listings reiterate building safety/amenity features. Given the prior high confidence and supporting current remarks across agents, the building very likely has a fire sprinkler system.
I reviewed all public remarks for explicit statements that the building has passed a fire/life safety evaluation or related certification. While some listings list building safety features (e.g., 'Fire Sprinkler' appears in amenity lists), there is no explicit FLSE or 'passed fire inspection' language, so FLSE pass is not documented in the remarks.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Multiple listings (data: 12/20 include OCEAN) consistently advertise ocean or Pacific/Magic Island views. Remarks quote phrases such as "ocean views", "Pacific Ocean views", "Magic Island", and "Diamond Head-facing ocean" across many agents, indicating building units offer ocean views and the evidence is strong and widespread.
Numerous listings (data: 16/20 include mountain in view_descriptions) explicitly reference mountain or Koʻolau/mauka views. Remarks contain phrases like "majestic Ko‘olau mountains", "mountain views", and "lush mountains" across many agents, showing strong, consistent building-level evidence that mountain views are available in multiple units.
Strong evidence: many listings explicitly mention Diamond Head views (e.g., 'Diamond Head-facing', 'stunning Diamond Head views') including high-floor corner units. Multiple independent listings reference Diamond Head consistently, supporting inclusion.
Strong, consistent evidence that the building offers city views: historically over 40 separate remarks mentioned city/city skyline/city lights. The current public remarks again frequently describe "city views", "Honolulu’s skyline", and "city lights" in multiple unit listings, confirming the feature across agents rather than being an isolated or copy‑paste error.
No analysis available
Several listings highlight the building’s extensive landscaped amenity areas, using terms like 'Enchanted Gardens,' 'open green spaces,' and 'vibrant outdoor space,' and some units note 'amenity deck view' along with other vistas. The Sky Terrace is one of Honolulu’s largest amenity decks and is clearly visible from various units, which means buyers can find residences that look out over landscaped and garden-like spaces. While agents rarely use the exact phrase 'garden view,' the consistent description of these green amenity vistas supports including a garden/courtyard view option for the building.
No analysis available
Moderate evidence: a small number of listings reference harbor/harbor-type views (e.g., 'harbor' or harbor-adjacent descriptors), suggesting some units may have marina/harbor sightlines. Mentions are limited compared with ocean/city references, so inclusion is warranted for buyer searches but with lower confidence.

Multiple listings explicitly state residents can view Friday night fireworks from the lanai or living room, which directly confirms the building offers fireworks views from units. This is consistent across several public remarks.

Historical MLS checkboxes strongly indicated a resident/on-site manager (18 of 20 listings). Current public remarks explicitly state 'resident manager on-site' in at least one listing and several others reference 24-hour security and professional management, supporting continuation of the resident manager feature. Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents.
