No analysis available
I searched all public remarks for numeric owner-occupancy percentages or phrases indicating the level of owner-occupancy and found none. Because there is no explicit information to determine a percentage and we must not guess, owner_occupancy remains unknown.
Listings frequently mention private or dedicated elevators opening to individual foyers, indicating multiple passenger or private elevator accesses exist, but no public remarks state the total number of elevators. Because no explicit numeric count appears in the public remarks and we must not guess, the elevator count 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.
9 of 20 current MLS listings list ACCEN in association_fee_includes and prior data indicated Medium confidence. Remarks reference the LEED-certified nature and building systems, implying centralized HVAC is present, so central AC being included is plausible but only moderately supported.
17 of 20 current MLS listings include CABTV in association_fee_includes, and historical data rated this feature High. While public remarks do not repeatedly state 'cable included', the strong multi-listing MLS signal across agents indicates cable TV is typically included in the HOA fees.
16 of 20 current MLS listings include common-area electricity in association_fee_includes, and remarks consistently describe many shared, powered amenities (pool, theater, lounges), supporting that common-area electricity is included in HOA fees across multiple listings.

18 of 20 current MLS listings list GAS as included and historical data rated this High. Remarks include a direct reference to 'gas cooking' and multiple agent listings reflect gas as part of building services, indicating gas is commonly included in association fees.
17 of 20 current MLS listings include HOTWAT and none show WTRHTR, a strong indicator that hot water is provided and included by the building. The absence of unit water heaters across listings plus consistent MLS checkbox data supports high confidence that hot water is included in HOA fees.
17 of 20 MLS listings include internet service in association fees and prior data rated this High. While public remarks seldom say 'internet included', the repeated MLS inclusion across agents points to a commonly bundled/basic internet service offered by the building.
No analysis available
17 of 20 current MLS listings indicate sewer is included in HOA dues and historical data is High. Remarks focus on high-level building services and amenities; combined with the strong MLS signal, sewer inclusion is well-supported across listings.
17 of 20 MLS listings list water as included in association fees and prior confidence was High. The consistent MLS checkbox data across many listings, plus absence of unit-level water heater listings, supports that water is typically included in the HOA fees.
Very strong evidence: all 20 listings indicate BBQ amenities with repeated phrases such as 'BBQ pavilions', 'BBQ cabanas', and 'outdoor resident barbecue pavilions'. The feature is consistently described by multiple agents.

Despite dozens of detailed descriptions of Waiea's amenities, none reference a car wash, auto wash bay, or vehicle wash area. Only a small minority of MLS entries (3/20) check CRWSH, with no narrative confirmation. Given the silence in remarks and inconsistent checkbox usage, it's very likely the building does not offer a dedicated car wash facility.
No analysis available
Strong, consistent evidence: 16 of 20 current MLS listings have concierge checked historically and many listings (roughly 14) explicitly state "concierge", "concierge team", or "concierge service" (examples: "concierge team", "concierge service", "first-class concierge services"). Mentions are widespread across listings and agents, supporting a high-confidence conclusion that the building provides concierge service.
Strong evidence: approximately 16–17 of 20 listings mention a dog park or dog run with direct language such as 'dog park' appearing repeatedly, indicating a dedicated pet area on the property.
MLS checkboxes do not show doorman (0/20), but at least several listings (approx. 5) explicitly reference a staffed/manned front desk or staffed entry lobby and descriptions like "staffed/manned front desk/entry lobby" and "staffed/manned front desk/entry lobby/ front desk service" appear across agents. The mentions suggest a staffed, attended entry presence (what buyers search for as a doorman), though it is not invoked in every remark so confidence is moderate.
Strong evidence across listings: ~19 of 20 listings reference exercise/fitness amenities with phrases like 'fitness center', 'gym', and 'yoga room'. Multiple agents consistently list fitness facilities, indicating a building-level fitness center available to residents.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: about 19 of 20 listings reference meeting/conference style amenities, with phrases like 'dining room equipped with catering and a chef’s kitchen', 'library for private meetings', and 'community/dining room' appearing across listings.
Multiple listings explicitly mention private lanais and covered terraces (examples: '69 sf lanai', '336 sq. ft. covered lanai', 'private 68-square foot foyer and a generous 167-square foot lanai'), and outdoor amenity areas such as poolside cabanas and BBQ pavilions are described throughout. This aligns with prior MLS checkbox data (about 15/20 listings) and appears consistently across different agent remarks, indicating strong building-level availability of patios/decks.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Several villa listings reference a “private entry garden” and “its own 2,799 sf yard, backyard oasis, outdoor kitchen, pool/jacuzzi,” indicating true private yard areas for some units.
No analysis available
Consistent evidence: roughly 14 of 20 listings mention shared recreation/amenity deck or recreation area (e.g., '7th floor rec deck', 'amenity deck', 'recreation deck'), indicating a building-level recreation area available to residents.
Strong evidence: about 15–16 of 20 listings reference a recreation/party room or large resident entertaining space, with quotes like 'party room' and 'party Rm' appearing in multiple remarks across agents.
Moderately strong evidence: 11 of 20 MLS entries list restaurant/dining amenities and remarks mention 'ground-floor dining options', 'ground-floor restaurants', and on-site 'Sunset Bar' and resident dining/chef's kitchen. Evidence suggests there are on-site dining/lounge services or ground-floor restaurant spaces available to residents.
No analysis available
Very strong evidence: all 20 listings reference sauna/steam room amenities with repeated mentions such as 'sauna', 'steam room', and 'dry sauna', confirming building-level sauna facilities.
Strong evidence that Waiea offers storage units: at least a dozen current listings explicitly mention storage rooms or storage unit numbers (examples: "2 storage rm (#3-72/#3-73)", "storage #6-02 included", "storage #3-46(31 sqft)", "PENTHOUSE...2 Big storage rooms at 3rd floor", and a standalone sale of storage unit S-350). This corroborates historical high-confidence data and appears across multiple agents’ remarks rather than being a single copy/paste error, so include storage_unit = true.
Searched remarks for surfboard-specific storage language. Although multiple storage rooms/unit storage are mentioned, there is no explicit mention of dedicated surfboard or board storage facilities.
Across a very large set of remarks for this building, there are zero references to tennis courts or tennis facilities, which would be prominently marketed if present. Only 1 of 20 MLS entries checks TENCOU, contradicting both narrative descriptions and the majority of agents. This strongly suggests the building does not offer a shared tennis court.
Weak/ambiguous evidence: only ~5 of 20 MLS entries have the TRACHU checkbox checked and none of the public remarks mention a trash/garbage chute. Given the lack of corroborating remarks and limited MLS support, the existence of a trash chute is uncertain and not reliably documented in the remarks.
Although fewer remarks name it explicitly, one or more listings state 'Valet Service' and many others reference hotel/resort-style staffing (concierge, staffed front desk, resident specialists), supporting the MLS indications (6/20). Evidence across multiple agent remarks and historical checkbox data supports inclusion of valet as a building amenity.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: around 18 of 20 listings reference a hot tub/whirlpool/spa, with recurring phrases like 'hot tub', 'spa', and 'infinity-edge pool and hot tub' across agent remarks.
Strong, building-wide evidence: many listings (20/20 in MLS amenities historically) and numerous agents' public remarks repeatedly reference the building pool(s)—quotes include "infinity-edge pool," "infinity-edged ocean-view pool," and "swim/lap pool." Mentions appear across multiple agent listings (not isolated), indicating a shared building amenity.
Mixed evidence: MLS amenity flags show HEAPOO on many listings (approx. 15/20), and prior listings included at least one explicit remark referencing a "heated lap pool," but in the current set of public remarks none explicitly say "heated"—they mention "infinity-edge pool," "swim/lap pool," and "hot tub." Because MLS amenities consistently flag heated pool but remarks do not explicitly confirm, the feature is included with moderate confidence.
Searched for explicit language indicating a saltwater pool (salt water, saltwater, saline). Remarks describe an infinity-edge ocean-view pool, lap pool and spa but do not indicate the pool is saltwater.
All 20 current MLS listings list washer/dryer in the inclusions and numerous remarks explicitly mention in-unit laundry—phrases found include "dedicated laundry room," "full-size washer/dryer," and "laundry room complete with sink." Evidence is consistent across multiple listings/agents (likely some copy‑paste but repeatedly confirmed in unit-level remarks), supporting high confidence that some units in the building have in-unit laundry.
No analysis available
Searched for terms indicating paid communal laundry (coin-op, card-operated, paid laundry). Remarks only reference in-unit laundry or laundry rooms; no indication that community laundry (if present) requires payment.
Searched the remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'floor-by-floor laundry', or 'laundry room on every floor'. The listings mention in-unit laundry rooms and full-size washer/dryer but contain no statements indicating community laundry on every floor.
No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence: at least 12 listings/remarks explicitly reference assigned or dedicated stalls (quotes: "your assigned parking stall...", "2 assigned parking stalls", "1 assigned covered parking"). Evidence is consistent across multiple agent listings and aligns with prior high-confidence MLS data.
Very strong evidence: all 20 current MLS entries indicate covered parking and multiple remarks explicitly mention garages/carports/covered stalls (examples: "private two-car garage", "attached 2 car garage"). This is consistent across many listings and agents.
Repeated explicit statements across listings indicate parking stalls/garages are included with units (assigned/covered parking, private two-car garage, 'sale includes 2 parking stalls'). This supports that parking is deeded/owned with the unit.
No analysis available
Searched for terms like 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', or 'parking rental' and found none. Many listings instead describe included/assigned parking and EV chargers, so there is no evidence of an ongoing parking fee in the remarks.
Mixed evidence: 12/20 current MLS listings include GUEST in parking_features, but the public remarks repeatedly mention guest suites and reservable guest accommodations rather than explicit guest parking (no clear quotes like “guest parking” or “visitor parking”). Because MLS checkbox prevalence implies guest parking availability but remarks lack explicit confirmation, this is recorded as an implied feature with moderate confidence.
Moderate evidence: 10 of 20 MLS records mark secured parking and several remarks reference concierge, valet, staffed front desk and 24/7 security (implying controlled/secure entry), but few remarks explicitly say "gated" or "card access." Therefore parking_secured_entry is included with implied (moderate) confidence.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', or similar phrases and found no references. Given no evidence and multiple listings describing assigned stalls included with units, there's no indication of a waitlist in the public remarks.
No analysis available
Reviewed listings for card/fob/electronic access references. While many listings reference concierge, staffed/manned front desk and private elevators, none explicitly mention key card or fob access systems.
Historical MLS checkbox data was nearly universal (19/20) indicating on-site security. Current remarks explicitly mention security in multiple listings (at least 3) — quotes include "24/7 security service" and listings that list "security" among building services — and many listings describe staffed resident specialists/front desk that work alongside security. Evidence is strong and consistent across multiple agents and listings.
Public remarks explicitly reference staffed/manned front desk, 24/7 security service and full-time resident specialists/concierge, indicating active security/patrol presence for the building.
No analysis available
MLS data strongly indicates central air: 16 of 20 unit feature entries and 19 of 20 inclusion fields reference ACCEN/CENAC. None of the provided public remarks explicitly mention 'central air', 'central AC', 'HVAC', 'forced air', or similar; evidence across multiple agents is consistent in MLS metadata, so building-level central air is retained with high confidence.
No analysis available
No analysis available
All 20 current MLS listings (20/20) are coded as concrete ('CONCRE') and prior data had High confidence that Waiea is a concrete building. Public remarks emphasize the glass façade and luxury finishes but do not contradict concrete construction; the consistent MLS coding across multiple agents indicates strong, building-level concrete construction.
11 of 20 current MLS listings include construction material code DOUWAL ('double‑wall'), matching prior historical prevalence (~12/20). No public remarks explicitly state 'double wall' or 'double‑wall' in any listing; the feature is therefore inferred from consistent MLS checkbox coding across multiple listings rather than explicit agent remarks, so confidence is moderate (implied evidence).
No analysis available
A minority but notable portion of MLS entries (4/20) list masonry/stucco, which is plausible for lower‑level, podium, or villa exteriors even though the tower is primarily glass and concrete. No public remarks dispute the presence of such elements, so this remains included with moderate confidence.
A majority of current MLS listings (15/20) include steel frame, aligning with the expected structural system for a tall, glass‑facade luxury tower like Waiea. Remarks reference its striking glass facade and LEED certification, which are consistent with a modern concrete-and-steel frame structure.
2/20 MLS listings mark SLAB, and as a modern high-rise, Waiea would necessarily sit on a concrete slab/raft foundation.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Waiea is a tall residential tower with units described on numerous upper floors and penthouse levels, confirming that residential construction is above ground. The ABOGRO code appears in multiple MLS entries (7/20), and remarks consistently emphasize elevated ocean, harbor, and city views from the building.
Only 1/20 MLS listings show BRICK, while Waiea is documented as a glass-and-concrete tower; no remarks or photos suggest any brick structural construction, indicating a likely MLS mis-click.
No analysis available
Searched remarks for 'short-term rental', 'STR', 'vacation rental', '30-day minimum', 'NUC/TVU' and related terms. The remarks emphasize concierge/resort amenities and guest suites but do not state that short-term rentals are permitted, so there is no evidence in the public remarks that STRs are allowed.
No public remarks mention a hotel rental pool or building-managed hotel rental program. Because short-term rental allowance was not found in the remarks, hotel-rental-pool participation is marked false.
Searched for 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or language about compulsory rental programs and found none. With no evidence STRs or a hotel pool exist, mandatory participation is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Searched remarks for leasehold language and specific expiry years (e.g., 'lease expires 2050', 'land lease to ####'). The listings consistently describe amenities, parking, and ownership but contain no reference to a ground lease or lease expiry year.
Searched all remarks for phrases like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans'. No listings mentioned VA loan approval or acceptance, so there is no evidence in the public remarks to mark this building VA-approved.
I reviewed all public remarks for explicit HOA/building insurance language indicating walls-in or full coverage and found no statements. With no explicit mention and no current value provided, the result is set to false with medium confidence.
Current MLS checkbox data shows 15/20 listings include the FIRSPR amenity and historical data previously rated sprinklers as High confidence. Public remarks across the provided listings do not explicitly mention sprinklers or fire suppression, so the evidence is primarily from repeated MLS checkboxes (likely multiple agents) rather than explicit agent remarks.
I searched all public remarks for explicit FLSE/fire & life safety certification language (e.g., 'FLSE passed', 'passed fire inspection', 'fire safety certified') and found none. In absence of any mention and with no current value provided, the conservative assumption is false with medium confidence.

Strong building-level evidence: ocean or oceanfront is mentioned throughout the remarks (approximately 20+ listings) with phrases like "ocean view", "ocean-front", "Pacific Ocean vistas", "ocean-view pool", and "ocean-view foyer." Multiple agents consistently describe sweeping ocean views from units and amenity decks, indicating the building offers ocean-view units.
Moderately strong evidence: mountain views are explicitly mentioned in many listings (approx. 6–10 remarks) using terms like "Diamond Head", "mountain", and "Koolau mountains". Evidence is repeated across different unit listings and agents, indicating some units provide mountain/mauka views.
Many different Waiea listings highlight Diamond Head views, including phrases like “Diamond Head–facing,” “panoramic views of Diamond Head and the Pacific Ocean,” and “from Diamond Head to the Ewa coast.” These references span standard units and penthouses on the east-facing side, confirming that Diamond Head view units are a notable and recurring feature of this building.
Solid evidence: about 8–10 listings mention city or skyline views with phrases such as "city skyline", "city views", and "urban views/downtown", appearing across multiple unit descriptions and agent entries, showing the building offers city-view units.
Moderate evidence: roughly 5–8 remarks mention coastline/shoreline or reference Waikiki Coastline/Magic Island/coastlines alongside ocean and Diamond Head views. Multiple listings across agents reference these coastal vantage points, indicating the building offers coastline views.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Clear building-level evidence: roughly 10–14 remarks refer specifically to "Kewalo Harbor", "Kewalo Basin", "harbor", "marina" or "yacht harbor." Multiple units and amenity descriptions reference views of the harbor/marina, indicating marina-view units exist in the building.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: around 10 listings explicitly mention "sunset", "sunset lounge/bar", or enjoying sunsets (and fireworks) from units/amenities. The recurrence across different listings and amenity descriptions supports that sunset-facing/view units are offered.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly state residents can view Friday night, New Year's Eve and July 4th fireworks from their units, indicating the building provides views of fireworks from residences.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Current MLS shows 19/20 listings with the RESMAN amenity and numerous public remarks across listings explicitly reference on-site management/staff—phrases include 'staffed/manned front desk/entry lobby', 'full-time resident specialists', and concierge/resident specialists. This is strong, consistent evidence across many agent remarks that the building has on-site resident management.
