Waiea - 1118 Ala Moana
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.

No analysis available
MLS floor fields and unit-number floors agree through floor 34, and penthouse listings are on floor 34. The state registration's 36-floor figure is set aside because registration floor fields are unreliable.
The county assessor reports 175 reconciled residential units, matching the state's authoritative 175-unit registration total. The stored 174 and state's secondary residential_units figure are not supported by these matching totals.
Owner occupancy from AOUO registration(s) 7431. Refreshed by Real_Estate_Scraper/reb_registry/propagate_owner_occupancy.py, which this lock does not block.
The remarks strongly confirm the presence of private or dedicated elevators serving some residences. However, no explicit number of building elevators, such as "4 elevators," was found, so the count cannot be determined.
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 public remarks explicitly mention central air conditioning being included in the maintenance fee. ACCEN appears in 10 of 20 current MLS records, which provides moderate but not definitive evidence and may partly reflect agent-entered checkbox data.
No public remarks explicitly mention cable TV or cable service being included. However, CABTV is present in 16 of 20 current MLS records across repeated listings, providing strong building-level evidence despite likely checkbox repetition.
None of the public remarks explicitly state that common-area electricity is included. OTCOEX is reported in all 20 current MLS records, making the evidence strong and consistent across the building, although the data may be copied between listings.

Public remarks mention gas cooking features in multiple listings, including phrases such as “gas range,” “gas cooktop,” and “gas cooking,” but do not expressly say gas is included in fees. GAS is present in all 20 current MLS records, providing strong building-level support.
No public remarks explicitly discuss hot water inclusion or individual water heaters. HOTWAT appears in 18 of 20 current listings, while only one shows WTRHTR, so the overwhelming current MLS pattern supports hot water being included.
No public remarks explicitly mention internet, Wi-Fi, or internet service in the HOA fee. Nevertheless, INTSER appears in 16 of 20 current MLS records from repeated building listings, providing strong support for inclusion.
No analysis available
No public remarks explicitly state that sewer is included in maintenance fees. SEWER is present in 18 of 20 current MLS records across multiple listings, creating strong evidence despite the possibility of copied association-fee entries.
None of the public remarks directly say that water is included in the maintenance fee. WATER appears in 18 of 20 current MLS records, providing strong repeated building-level evidence, though it is primarily checkbox-based rather than narrative confirmation.
BBQ facilities are consistently confirmed, appearing in all 20 MLS records. Remarks repeatedly cite “BBQ pavilions,” “BBQ cabanas,” “outdoor resident barbecue pavilions,” and “BBQ dining areas,” indicating a well-established shared building amenity.
No analysis available
No analysis available
There is no corroborating evidence for a car wash amenity in the remarks. With only a minimal MLS signal and no explicit mentions across the listings, this appears to be an erroneous checkbox rather than a real shared feature.
Direct clubhouse wording is not prominent in the remarks, so this is only moderately supported. The building clearly has several large shared social spaces, but the evidence looks more like amenity-room descriptions than a consistently named clubhouse. This may reflect inconsistent agent terminology in MLS copy.
Concierge service is overwhelmingly confirmed across the listing set and is clearly a building-level amenity. More than 14 remarks explicitly mention concierge or concierge services, including 'world-class concierge service' and 'attentive concierge services,' supported by CONCIE appearing in 19 of 20 listings.
A shared dog park is clearly confirmed, with the amenity present in 16/20 current listings. Several independent remarks explicitly say “dog park,” alongside detailed amenity descriptions that include it with the building’s pool, fitness, and recreation facilities.
At least one listing explicitly states that Waiea has a “staffed/manned front desk/entry lobby,” while historical review identified approximately 5 listings referring to a staffed or manned front desk or entry. The low current checkbox rate may reflect inconsistent agent coding, but the repeated descriptions support including a doorman/lobby-attendant service.
Exercise facilities are confirmed across the building, with MLS presence in all 20 listings. Multiple remarks explicitly mention a “fitness center,” “state-of-the-art fitness center,” “gym,” “exercise room,” and “active/passive exercise rooms,” providing strong multi-listing confirmation.
No analysis available
Meeting or community-use space is supported by 19/20 MLS records. Remarks include an “elegant library for private meetings,” a “study room,” resident dining rooms, catering kitchens, and entertainment areas, providing strong evidence of shared meeting-capable facilities.
Patio/deck evidence is very strong across many listings and multiple apparent agents, not limited to checkbox data. Numerous remarks explicitly quote features such as “336 sq. ft. covered lanai,” “69 sq. ft. lanai,” “167-square-foot lanai,” “expansive 159 sq. ft. lanai,” “large expansive lanais,” and the building’s “7th floor rec deck” and “amenity deck.”

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
Recreation-area amenities are supported by 18/20 current MLS listings. Remarks explicitly reference a “7th floor rec deck,” “recreation/pool deck,” “amenity deck,” and outdoor entertaining areas, confirming that the building offers shared recreation spaces.
At least 6 listings explicitly describe a “party room,” “party room with a gorgeous private kitchen,” or “party rooms with kitchens,” while 17/20 MLS records carry the recreation-room code. The repeated descriptions across different listings strongly confirm shared recreation/entertainment rooms.
Restaurant or dining facilities are supported by multiple remarks, including “ground-floor restaurants” and “ground-floor dining options.” While the feature appears in fewer listings than core amenities, the explicit building-level references are sufficient to include it.
No analysis available
Sauna facilities are strongly confirmed, appearing in 19/20 MLS listings. Multiple remarks explicitly identify “sauna,” “dry sauna,” “steam sauna,” and separate male and female locker-room saunas, demonstrating broad and detailed confirmation across listings.
Storage is strongly confirmed across numerous Waiea listings, with well over 10 current remarks explicitly mentioning storage rooms or units, often identifying specific rooms, floors, sizes, or storage numbers. Examples include "Storage #3-21," "Storage Room 4-09," "large storage #6-02," and a separately marketed 31-square-foot storage unit available to Waiea owners, indicating this is a legitimate building/unit feature rather than isolated copy-paste.
The listings mention private storage rooms, closets, garages, and general residential storage. No dedicated surfboard-storage facility is identified.
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.
6/20 current listings include the trash-chute code, but 0 supplied remarks mention a “trash chute,” “garbage chute,” or “refuse chute.” This is weaker than the other amenities and may reflect checkbox carryover, but the prior high-confidence assessment prevents a definitive false correction without explicit evidence of removal or error.
Valet service is repeatedly mentioned in the remarks for Waiea, including explicit phrases like "valet service" and "Valet Service." Across the provided listings, the amenity is consistent with the building's luxury service offering and is supported by the prior high-confidence MLS history. The evidence is strong and appears to reflect a real building feature rather than a one-off agent entry.
No analysis available
Whirlpool facilities are confirmed in every current MLS listing. Repeated remarks reference the “hot tub,” “pool/jacuzzi,” “infinity pool and spa,” and “infinity-edged ocean-view pool and hot tub,” establishing a consistent shared amenity.
Pool evidence is overwhelming across the listings: at least 20 remarks explicitly mention an "infinity-edge pool," "infinity ocean view pool," "heated lap pool," or "resort-style pool." The feature is repeatedly described by multiple agents as a shared Waiea amenity, not merely copied checkbox data, and current MLS amenities confirm it on 19/20 listings.
At least two listings explicitly state "heated lap pool," while 16 of 20 current MLS records include the HEAPOO amenity code. Although most remarks describe the pool without mentioning temperature, the explicit statements and strong MLS support across the building confirm the heated-pool feature.
The listings repeatedly describe infinity-edge, ocean-view, heated, lap, resort-style, and private pools. None identifies the building pool as saltwater.
In-unit laundry is strongly supported across the building: 20/20 current MLS listings include washer/dryer in the inclusions. Several remarks explicitly mention a "full-size washer/dryer," "full-sized Electrolux washer and dryer," or a dedicated/separate laundry room, with consistent confirmation across multiple listings and unit types.
No analysis available
Laundry references describe in-unit or private washers and dryers rather than a shared paid facility. No remarks indicate coins, payment cards, laundry fees, or other charges.
The remarks mention private or in-unit full-size washers and dryers and dedicated laundry rooms within residences. No public remark identifies community laundry facilities available on every floor.
No analysis available
Assigned parking is strongly supported across the building: 19 of 20 current MLS listings include an ASSIGN code. Multiple independent remarks explicitly mention "assigned parking," including a unit with "1 assigned covered parking" and another with "2 assigned parking stalls," so this does not appear to be mere checkbox copy-paste.
All 20 of 20 current listings include COVERE, CO1, CO2, CO3PLUS, or GARAGE MLS codes, making the evidence exceptionally strong across the building. Multiple remarks explicitly cite an “attached 2 car garage,” “drive-in garage,” “private two-car garage,” and “1 assigned covered parking,” confirming that covered parking is a building-level offering.
The listings repeatedly reference assigned stalls, covered parking, private garages, and parking conveyed with residences. However, none explicitly say the parking is deeded, owned, or included in the unit deed, so deeded status is not confirmed.
No analysis available
The remarks mention valet service, assigned stalls, garages, and EV chargers but do not provide any recurring or separate parking fee. The monthly parking cost is therefore unknown from the public remarks.
Guest parking has moderate checkbox support, appearing in 13 of 20 current listings, but no remark explicitly says "guest parking" or "visitor parking." Many listings mention "5 guest suites" or that guests can stay in the building, which supports guest-oriented facilities but may not prove dedicated guest parking; the feature is retained because of the majority MLS signal, with reduced confidence.
Ten of 20 current listings include the SECENT parking code. Remarks include “24/7 security service,” “security,” “staffed/manned front desk/entry lobby,” and references to privacy and controlled services, but they do not consistently specify a parking gate or card-access system; the evidence may partly reflect copied MLS data.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The listings discuss assigned parking, multiple stalls, private garages, valet service, and EV chargers. They do not mention a parking waitlist or waiting-list system.
No analysis available
The remarks mention private elevators, concierge services, staffed entry, and general security. They do not establish a card- or fob-based access system.
Security is strongly supported by both the historical evidence and current remarks. Multiple listings explicitly describe '24 hour security' or '24/7 security service,' while the current MLS data marks SECGUA in 19 of 20 listings, indicating a consistent building-level amenity rather than an isolated agent entry.
Some listings mention 24/7 security service, concierge personnel, and staffed front-desk or lobby entry. These statements do not specifically confirm a security patrol service.
No analysis available
No public remarks explicitly mention central AC, HVAC, forced air, or central air conditioning (0 listings). However, 19/20 listings consistently report ACCEN/CENAC in unit features and 19/20 report ACCEN in inclusions, indicating strong building-wide MLS evidence rather than an isolated agent entry.
No analysis available
No analysis available
All 20 of 20 current listings identify CONCRE as the construction-material code. No public remarks explicitly mention concrete construction, but the evidence is uniformly strong across the MLS data and supports retaining this building-level feature.
Double-wall construction appears in 10 of 20 current listings, suggesting it may be an actual feature or a commonly copied MLS code. No public remarks explicitly mention double-wall construction, so the evidence is moderate rather than definitive.
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.
Steel-frame construction is coded in 12 of 20 current listings and was supported in 14 of 20 listings historically. Although no public remarks explicitly use phrases such as "steel frame" or "steel frame construction," the repeated MLS evidence across listings is strong and consistent.
Only 3 of 20 current listings mark SLAB, so the MLS support is limited. However, Waiea is a modern high-rise, making a concrete slab foundation a reasonable inference even though the public remarks do not explicitly mention it.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Multiple remarks refer to Waiea as a tower or high-rise, including phrases like '36-story Waiea,' 'flagship tower,' and 'home in the sky.' This is consistent across many listings and strongly supports above-ground construction.
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
The remarks mention tenant occupancy, furnished residences, owner use, and rental income in general, but do not establish permission for short-term rentals. No explicit STR authorization or qualifying language was found.
The listings describe resort-style amenities and concierge services, but do not state that units participate in a hotel rental pool or managed hotel-rental program. Because STR permission is not established, this feature is false.
The remarks contain no requirement that owners place units in a hotel rental pool or rental program. Since STR permission and hotel-pool participation are not supported, mandatory participation is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks describe Waiea as a luxury condominium but do not identify leasehold tenure or provide a lease-expiration year. No specific year can be extracted from the public remarks.
The remarks were searched for VA loan approval and financing language, including references to VA-approved buildings and VA loans. None were found, so VA financing approval is not supported by the public remarks.
The remarks were searched for explicit statements that the HOA or building provides full or walls-in insurance coverage. No qualifying mention was found, so there is no evidence confirming full insurance.
Zero listings mention fire sprinklers or a fire suppression system. The feature appears in 18 of 20 current MLS amenity records, but this conflicts with the historical Medium confidence and complete absence of textual confirmation, so it is treated as an MLS checkbox error rather than a validated building feature.
The remarks were searched for explicit fire/life-safety evaluation or inspection approval language. Nothing was found confirming or denying that the building passed an FLSE, so this remains unsupported and is set to false under the no-current-value 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 overwhelmingly supported across the building, with 18 of 20 current listings mentioning OCEAN. Repeated phrases include “captivating ocean,” “Pacific Ocean,” “unobstructed oceanfront views,” and “infinity-edge ocean-view pool,” demonstrating strong support across multiple listings rather than a single isolated claim.
Mountain views are supported by 10 of 20 current listings. Key remarks include “mountain vistas,” “lush mountains,” “Koolau mountains,” “verdant mountains,” and “sweeping views of the mountain and city,” indicating the building offers mountain-view units.
Diamond Head views are confirmed in 8 of 20 current listings. Remarks repeatedly use phrases such as “breathtaking views of Diamond Head,” “panoramic views of Diamond Head,” and “ocean, Diamond Head and the Waikiki Coastline,” across multiple units.
City views are well supported, with 12 of 20 current listings mentioning CITY and numerous remarks describing the “city skyline,” “cityscape,” and “vibrant Honolulu skyline.” The repeated references across different unit types indicate the building offers city-view residences.
Coastline views are well supported by 14 of 20 current listings. Remarks include “the Pacific, the coastline,” “panoramic views of...coastlines,” “Waikiki Coastline,” and “unobstructed oceanfront views from...Diamond Head to the Ewa coast,” demonstrating broad support beyond a single copied description.
There is no convincing evidence that the building offers garden views as a general feature. A few listings mention a private garden or yard for specific villa-style residences, but that is not the same as a garden view and does not support a building-wide view feature. Current data is sparse and looks unit-specific rather than a repeated building characteristic.
No analysis available
Marina and harbor views are strongly established, with 15 of 20 current listings containing MARCAN-related data. Remarks include “Kewalo Yacht Harbor,” “Kewalo Basin,” “harbor and ocean views,” and “ocean, marina and Diamond Head views,” showing this is a recurring building-level offering.
Sunrise views are supported by 6 of 20 current listings, including explicit remarks for Penthouse 3400 describing “captivating sunrises” throughout the living spaces and lanai. Although less frequently mentioned than ocean or harbor views, the explicit sunrise language and east-facing residences justify including the feature.
Sunset views are strongly supported by 10 of 20 current listings. Key phrases include “ocean, harbor and sunset views,” “breathtaking ocean, sunset, harbor,” “sunset skies,” “mesmerizing views of sunsets,” and “enjoy breathtaking sunsets,” with evidence appearing across multiple units and agents.
No analysis available
Multiple listings directly confirm that fireworks are visible from units. This satisfies the requirement for a Friday-night fireworks view from the building.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Multiple listings confirm on-site resident management or equivalent resident-service staffing, using phrases such as “full-time resident specialists,” “dedicated services resident specialists,” and “staffed/manned front desk/entry lobby.” The evidence is repeated across different remarks and aligns with the High historical confidence and 20/20 MLS designation.
