No analysis available
I searched for explicit owner-occupancy percentages and qualitative indicators across all listings and found none. Because there is no numeric percentage provided in the remarks, I cannot supply or infer an owner-occupancy value.
Multiple listings mention private or dedicated elevator access to individual residences and private foyers, confirming elevator service exists. I searched the remarks for explicit counts (e.g., '4 elevators', 'four elevators', 'multiple elevators') and found no total number given. Because no numeric count is stated, I cannot infer or change a numeric value.
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.
Current MLS data shows 11/20 listings with ACCEN in association_fee_includes, and the building is a LEED-certified, centrally air-conditioned luxury tower where chilled water/central AC is typically included in HOA fees.
17 of 20 recent MLS listings have CABTV in association_fee_includes, indicating cable TV is typically included. Remarks do not explicitly state 'cable included,' but the strong and consistent MLS checkbox usage across many agents provides high confidence this building offers cable via the association.
15 of 20 recent MLS listings have OTCOEX in association_fee_includes, and the building's extensive shared amenities (pools, lounges, fitness areas, theaters) imply common-area electricity is covered by HOA fees. Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents.

18 of 20 MLS listings indicate gas is included in association fees, and remarks include references to 'gas cooking' and gas-capable kitchens. The strong, repeated MLS checkbox usage plus textual mention across listings gives high confidence that gas is included.
17 of 20 recent MLS entries list HOTWAT in association_fee_includes and no listings show WTRHTR (unit water heaters), supporting that hot water is provided/covered by the association. The MLS pattern is strong and consistent across agents.
16 of 20 recent MLS listings include INTSER in association_fee_includes, suggesting a bundled or base internet service is commonly included. While remarks rarely mention it explicitly, the consistent MLS checkbox usage across listings supports including internet as part of association fees.
No analysis available
Most listings (17/20) explicitly state that sewer is included in the HOA dues. Sewer inclusion is standard for comparable high-end Honolulu condos and is consistently checked across many agents’ listings. The absence of any comments about separate sewer charges supports treating sewer as association‑included.
Water is shown as included in association fees on 17/20 current MLS listings, providing strong multi‑agent confirmation. Luxury towers of this type in Honolulu typically include domestic water in maintenance fees, and no listing text indicates otherwise. Given the consistency and building type, water should be treated as HOA‑included.
Very strong evidence: all 20 MLS listings indicate BBQ amenities and many remarks explicitly reference 'BBQ pavilions/cabanas' and 'outdoor resident barbecue pavilions'. The consistency across agents supports this as a genuine building amenity.
No analysis available
No analysis available
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 that Waiea offers concierge service: many listings explicitly state "concierge service" or similar ("concierge team", "resident specialists", "front desk service"), and this aligns with historical MLS data showing concierge checked on the majority of listings. Mentions come from multiple listings and agents, indicating a building-wide staffed concierge/service model.
Strong supporting evidence: 16 of 20 listings include dog park in MLS amenities and multiple remarks state 'dog park' or 'dog park as part of Waiea's outdoor amenities', indicating a bona fide shared dog area.
No analysis available
Strong, consistent evidence across listings: 19 of 20 MLS entries list exercise facilities and many remarks state 'fitness center', 'gym', 'yoga room', or 'active/passive exercise Rms'. Multiple agents independently describe a shared, building-level fitness center, indicating a real common amenity rather than copy/paste error.
No analysis available
Listings describe a resident 'dining room equipped with catering and a chef’s kitchen' and library/lounge spaces used for private meetings and events. Prior summaries note big party/dining rooms with full kitchens suitable for hosted functions, matching a meeting/conference room amenity. With MEEROO on nearly all MLS entries and text support, a shared meeting room clearly exists.
Strong evidence that the building offers patios/decks: 14/20 current MLS listings have the PATDEC/COVPAT amenity checked and numerous public remarks explicitly mention building-level outdoor spaces — phrases include "amenity deck," "recreation/pool deck," "poolside cabanas," "BBQ pavilions," and "covered terrace." Many unit remarks also reference private lanais, reinforcing that both common and private outdoor spaces are available across the building. The consistency across multiple agent remarks and the historical checkbox prevalence indicate high confidence this feature exists.

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: 14 of 20 listings reference a recreation/amenity deck and comments like '7th floor rec deck' and 'overlooking the recreation/pool deck' appear across listings, supporting that the building provides shared recreation areas.
Multiple listings (15/20) list a recreation/party room and many remarks say 'party room' or 'big party room with full kitchen' and 'resident dining/entertaining' spaces. Evidence is consistent across listings and agents, indicating a true building-level recreation room.
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, unanimous evidence: all 20 MLS listings list sauna/steam rooms and numerous remarks state 'sauna' and 'steam room' or 'steam sauna'. The consistency and specificity across all listings (including mention of locker rooms and spa treatment rooms) make this a well-established building amenity.
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.
I searched for 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', and similar phrases; the remarks only reference storage rooms and storage units by number, with no dedicated surfboard storage mentioned.
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.
No remarks explicitly mention 'trash chute' or 'garbage chute,' but several MLS agents have checked TRACHU and the building is a modern, ultra-luxury high-rise where chutes are effectively standard infrastructure. Past analysis already treated this as a likely feature with medium confidence. Given the building type and partial MLS support, a trash chute system is probable even though it is not marketed as a selling point.
Several listings explicitly list 'valet service' among the amenities, in addition to references to hotel/resort-style services, concierge, and a staffed front desk. Given prior high confidence and 6/20 current MLS listings checking VALET, the building clearly continues to provide valet service.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: 18 of 20 listings reference hot tub/whirlpool and many remarks explicitly say 'hot tub', 'jacuzzi', or 'spa' alongside the infinity pool. The repeated independent mentions across listings indicate a building-level hot tub/spa amenity.
Numerous listings across different agents reference building pools, including phrases like 'infinity-edge pool', 'swim/lap pool', 'resort-style amenities', and 'pool/jacuzzi', confirming both shared and private pools exist. Current MLS data shows 20/20 units with a pool-related amenity checked, which aligns with detailed public remarks. This consistent, repeated description across many listings strongly confirms that buyers can expect pool access in this building.
Public remarks for one villa-style residence explicitly state that residents can enjoy a 'heated lap pool', indicating at least one shared heated pool on the amenity deck. This matches MLS amenity data where 17/20 listings include the heated-pool code, even though the specific 'HEATED' pool_feature is not populated. Given the combination of explicit description and consistent MLS coding, the building is best characterized as offering a heated pool.
I searched for terms like 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool', 'salt pool', and 'saline pool' and found no references. The pool is described (infinity-edge, heated lap pool, etc.) but not characterized as salt water.
All 20 listings in the MLS include washer/dryer in inclusions and many remarks explicitly mention in-unit laundry—examples include "dedicated laundry room", "full-size washer/dryer", and "laundry room complete with sink." Evidence is strong and consistent across multiple agent listings rather than a single outlier, indicating some units in the building indeed have in-unit laundry.
No analysis available
I looked for terms such as 'coin-op', 'coin laundry', 'paid laundry', 'card-operated' or similar and found none in the public remarks. There is no evidence of paid community laundry in the listing text.
I searched the remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', or 'shared laundry' and found no references. Mentions are limited to in-unit laundry/dedicated laundry rooms, not community laundry on each floor.
No analysis available
Strong evidence across many listings: numerous remarks explicitly state assigned/reserved stalls (examples: “your assigned parking stall comes with a dedicated EV charger,” “1 assigned covered parking,” “two assigned parking stalls”). Multiple agents reference specific stall numbers and assigned stalls across different units, indicating this is a consistent building feature rather than isolated copy/paste.
Multiple listings and remarks directly mention covered or garage parking: examples include “attached 2 car garage (~525 sf),” “private two-car garage,” “3 COVERED PARKING,” and recurring references to parking in garage or covered stalls. Evidence is consistent across many unit types (tower residences and villas), supporting a strong building-level covered parking attribute.
The remarks repeatedly indicate parking stalls are included/assigned with the unit and that the sale includes parking stalls or that units come with assigned stalls/garage (e.g., 'Sale includes two parking stalls', 'assigned parking stall comes with a dedicated EV charger'). These statements strongly suggest parking is conveyed with the unit (deeded/owned).
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', 'valet charge', or 'parking rental' and found no references. Because parking is described as included/assigned, no separate monthly parking fee is indicated in the listings.
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.
No analysis available

No analysis available
I looked for phrases like 'parking waitlist' or 'join waitlist for parking' but found none. Listings describe assigned/included stalls rather than a shared pool requiring a waitlist, so no evidence of a waitlist system was found.
No analysis available
Remarks reference concierge, staffed/manned front desk, 24/7 security service and resident specialists, but do not mention card/fob/keycard access. No explicit evidence of electronic card access was found.
High-confidence evidence that Waiea provides security guard/on-site security: the historical MLS checkbox was nearly universal (19/20) and multiple current remarks explicitly reference security or staffed entry, including phrases like "staffed/manned front desk/entry lobby" and "24/7 security service." Mentions appear across many different listings/agents, indicating consistent building-level service rather than isolated copy-paste error.
While listings reference 24/7 security service, concierge and a staffed front desk, they do not explicitly state a security patrol or roving patrol service. I searched for 'patrol', 'roving security', and related terms and found none.
No analysis available
MLS checkbox data is highly consistent: 17 of 20 unit_features and 19 of 20 inclusions list ACCEN/CENAC, indicating building-wide central air. Public remarks do not explicitly state 'central air' or 'HVAC', but the overwhelming and consistent MLS checkbox reporting across multiple listings/agents supports marking central_ac = true.
No analysis available
No analysis available
All 20 current MLS listings for Waiea show construction_materials coded as 'CONCRE' (20/20). Public remarks emphasize the glass façade and luxury finishes but do not contradict concrete construction; the uniform MLS checkbox across many listings from different agents yields strong evidence that the building is concrete-constructed.
Over half of all recent MLS listings (12/20) indicate double‑wall construction, implying its use in interior or party walls within the project. Given this consistency across many listings and no contrary remarks, double‑wall construction is very likely present in portions of the building.
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
I searched for 'short-term rental', 'vacation rental', 'STR permitted', 'NUC', 'TVU', and related terms and found no indications that short-term rentals are allowed. Absence of mention does not prove prohibition, but there is no evidence in the remarks that STRs are permitted.
I looked for phrases like 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', or references to hotel-managed rental operations and found none. Because there is no evidence STRs are allowed and no hotel pool language appears, this is false.
I searched remarks for language such as 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or 'cannot opt out' and found none. Additionally, some listings describe owner use and concierge/residential services, which support that no mandatory rental-pool requirement is stated.

No analysis available
I searched for terms such as 'lease expires', 'land lease to', 'leasehold expiring', and specific years but found no leasehold language or expiry years. No lease expiry year can be extracted from the provided remarks.
I searched the remarks for phrases like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans accepted' and found no references. With no explicit mention in the listings, VA approval cannot be confirmed.
I reviewed the remarks for language indicating that the HOA carries full/walls-in building insurance and found no such statements. With no explicit remark and no prior confirmed value, I report false with medium confidence (absence of mention suggests this is not publicly claimed).
15 of 20 current listings include the FIRSPR amenity checkbox and historical data assessed this building as having sprinklers with High confidence. Public remarks do not explicitly reference 'fire sprinkler' or 'sprinkler system,' but the consistent MLS amenity markings across multiple listings (likely entered by various agents) and prior high-confidence history support inclusion of this feature.
I searched all public remarks for explicit language indicating a passed fire/life safety evaluation (FLSE) or related certification and found none. In the absence of any mention and with no current documented value, I report false with medium confidence (absence of statement likely means no public claim of FLSE).

No analysis available
Strong, building-wide evidence: ~18/20 listings' remarks explicitly reference ocean or Pacific views (phrases: "ocean view", "Pacific Ocean", "oceanfront"). Multiple agents consistently market ocean views across many unit types (towers, villas, penthouses), matching prior high confidence.
No analysis available
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 across listings: ~9/20 remarks cite "city view", "city skyline", or "urban/city vistas." Multiple agent descriptions pair city views with ocean/mountain views, indicating some units provide city skyline exposure.
Moderately strong evidence: ~6/20 remarks mention "coastline" or related shoreline phrasing (e.g., "Waikiki Coastline", "coastlines"), often alongside ocean and Diamond Head references, indicating select units offer coastline views.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Clear building-level presence: ~12/20 listings mention Kewalo Harbor, Kewalo Basin, "harbor", "yacht harbor" or marina-type views. Multiple units and penthouses explicitly reference harbor/marina vistas and a new pedestrian overpass to the Kewalo harbor is noted.
No analysis available
Recurring sunset evidence: ~10/20 listings reference "sunset", "Sunset Bar/Lounge", "sunset views" or viewing fireworks from units. Sunset is repeatedly marketed as a building amenity and view characteristic across listings.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly state residents can watch Friday night, New Year's Eve and July 4th fireworks from their units. This is direct language indicating the building provides fireworks views from units.
No analysis available
No analysis available
19 of 20 current listings include the RESMAN amenity checkbox and many public remarks explicitly mention on-site management staff—phrases quoted include 'highly trained residential specialists', 'dedicated full-time resident specialists', and 'dedicated full-time resident specialists/ full-time resident specialists'. The consistency across numerous listings and clear phrasing in remarks make this a strongly supported building-level feature.
