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.

I searched for statements such as "80% owner occupied," "majority owner occupied," and "highly owner occupied." No building-level owner-occupancy figure or reliable qualitative estimate appears in the remarks, so the value remains unknown.
I searched for explicit building-level statements such as "4 elevators," "four elevators," or "multiple elevators." The remarks repeatedly describe private elevator access for certain residences, but provide no total elevator count, so the value remains 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.
Central air conditioning is included in 10 of 20 current MLS records. The remarks are silent on whether central AC is included in fees, so this remains supported by moderate, repeated MLS evidence and may reflect copied checkbox data.
No public remarks explicitly mention cable TV or cable service being included. However, CABTV appears in 16 of 20 current MLS records across repeated listings, providing strong multi-listing support despite likely checkbox-based evidence.
No remarks directly state that common-area electricity is included. OTCOEX is reported in 19 of 20 current MLS records, and the repeated descriptions of extensive common facilities and staffed building operations support a consistent building-level inclusion.

Several listings mention features such as “gas range,” “gas cooktop,” and “gas cooking,” although none explicitly say gas is included in the association fee. The GAS code appears in 20 of 20 current MLS records across the building, making the evidence exceptionally strong.
Hot water is included in 19 of 20 current MLS records, with only one listing showing WTRHTR instead. No public remarks mention individual water heaters or contradict building-supplied hot water, so the dominant building-level feature should be retained.
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 mention sewer being included. The SEWER code is present in 18 of 20 current MLS records across multiple listings and agents, which is strong repeated evidence despite the absence of narrative confirmation.
No public remarks explicitly state that water is included in the maintenance fee. However, WATER appears in 18 of 20 current MLS records across the building, providing strong and consistent multi-listing support.
20/20 listings include BBQ in MLS amenities, and numerous remarks reference “BBQ pavilions,” “BBQ cabanas,” “outdoor resident barbecue pavilions,” and “BBQ dining areas.” The repeated, detailed descriptions across listings strongly confirm a 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.
More than 14 listings explicitly mention concierge service, using phrases such as "world-class concierge service," "attentive concierge services," and "concierge team." The feature is repeatedly documented by multiple listings and strongly corroborated by the current MLS data showing CONCIE in 19 of 20 listings.
A building dog park or pet exercise area is clearly confirmed. Several listings directly say “dog park,” including detailed amenity lists alongside the fitness center, pool, BBQ areas, and concierge services.
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.
20/20 listings carry the exercise-room amenity, with repeated phrases including “fitness center,” “state-of-the-art fitness center,” “gym,” and “active/passive exercise rooms.” The feature is strongly confirmed across many independent listing remarks and is not merely dependent on checkbox data.
No analysis available
One listing explicitly calls the library an “elegant library for private meetings,” while multiple others describe libraries, resident dining rooms, chef’s kitchens, and formal entertainment spaces. Combined with 19/20 MLS confirmations, the building clearly offers meeting-capable shared space.
At least 12 of 20 current listings contain explicit patio/deck evidence, including phrases such as “69 sq. ft. lanai,” “167-square-foot lanai,” “336 sq. ft. covered lanai,” “massive 336 square foot covered terrace,” and “7th floor rec deck.” The evidence appears across many different residences and agents, including standard tower units, villas, and shared amenity areas, strongly confirming the building-level feature rather than simple checkbox copy-paste.
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
At least 3 listings specifically mention a “7th floor rec deck” or “recreation/pool deck,” and 18/20 listings carry the recreation-area code. These descriptions establish shared recreational amenity areas in addition to the building’s pool and lounge spaces.
At least 6 listings explicitly mention “party room,” “party rooms with kitchens,” or “entertainment areas,” while 16/20 carry the MLS recreation-room code. The feature is consistently described as a shared amenity and is strongly supported.
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
At least 12 listings explicitly mention “sauna,” “dry sauna,” “steam sauna,” or separate male and female locker-room saunas. The 19/20 MLS presence and detailed repeated descriptions provide strong confirmation of a shared sauna amenity.
Storage is strongly confirmed across numerous independent Waiea listings, far beyond the minimum evidence threshold. Remarks repeatedly mention included or separate storage, including “walk-in storage room,” “2 big storage rooms,” “two spacious storage units,” and a separately saleable “31 Sq Ft storage room”; several listings provide specific storage room numbers and sizes, indicating this is a legitimate building/unit feature rather than simple copied checkbox data.
The remarks mention private storage rooms, closets, garages, and general residential storage. None identifies a dedicated surfboard-storage facility.
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
20/20 listings include the whirlpool amenity, with repeated references to “hot tub,” “pool/jacuzzi,” “infinity pool and spa,” and “infinity-edged ocean-view pool and hot tub.” The feature is universally and independently confirmed.
Pool evidence is overwhelming across the listings, with well over 20 remarks describing Waiea’s shared infinity-edge or ocean-view pool. Multiple listings from different units and agents consistently mention the amenity, so this is strong building-level evidence rather than an isolated or copy-pasted claim.
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 remarks repeatedly describe infinity-edge, ocean-view, heated, lap, private, and resort-style pools. None identifies the pool as saltwater.
In-unit laundry is strongly supported across the building: 20/20 current MLS listings include washer/dryer in the inclusions. Multiple remarks explicitly state "full-size washer/dryer" or "full-sized Electrolux washer and dryer," while others reference dedicated or separate laundry rooms, confirming the feature across multiple residences.
No analysis available
The remarks describe in-unit laundry, including full-size washers and dryers and dedicated private laundry rooms. No wording indicates that community laundry exists or requires payment.
The remarks mention private or dedicated laundry rooms and in-unit full-size washers and dryers. They do not describe shared community laundry facilities 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.
Covered parking is exceptionally well supported across the building: all 20 of 20 current listings contain COVERE/CO1/CO2/CO3PLUS/GARAGE MLS codes. Multiple remarks independently describe an 'attached 2 car garage,' 'private two-car garage,' 'drive-in garage,' or '1 assigned covered parking,' confirming this is a building-level feature rather than an isolated or likely copy-pasted checkbox.
The remarks frequently mention assigned parking stalls, garages, and parking included with residences. However, they do not explicitly establish that parking is deeded or separately owned, so deeded status is not confirmed.
No analysis available
The public remarks were searched for parking fee amounts and required parking charges. No fee or recurring parking cost is stated.
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.
Secured access has moderate support: 9 of 20 current listings include SECENT, and several remarks cite “24/7 security service,” “security,” and a “staffed/manned front desk/entry lobby.” The evidence establishes a secure residential entry environment, though the remarks rarely specify gated or card-access parking, so confidence is below the assigned and covered features.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for parking waitlist and waiting-list language. None of the listings mention a parking waitlist system.
No analysis available
The remarks mention private elevators, private foyers, concierge services, staffed entry, and general security. They do not specify a card- or fob-based access system.
At least 5 listings explicitly mention building security, including "24 hour security," "24/7 security service," and "security services." The evidence is consistent with the historical high-confidence determination and current MLS data showing SECGUA in 19 of 20 listings.
The remarks mention 24/7 security, security services, concierge personnel, and staffed front-desk or entry-lobby service. These statements do not establish that the building has a security patrol service.
No analysis available
No public remarks explicitly mention central AC, HVAC, or forced air. However, current MLS data is highly consistent across listings, with 19/20 showing ACCEN/CENAC in unit features and 19/20 showing ACCEN in inclusions, confirming that central air conditioning is a building-wide feature rather than an isolated listing claim.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Concrete construction is supported by 20 of 20 current listings through the CONCRE construction-material code. No public remarks explicitly mention concrete construction, but the feature is consistently reported across all listings and aligns with the prior high-confidence determination.
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 supported by 12 of 20 current listings using the STEFRA code, with historical MLS data supporting it in 14 of 20 listings. None of the public remarks explicitly uses the phrase "steel frame," but the repeated MLS designation across multiple listings and the absence of contradictory evidence support inclusion.
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 public remarks were searched for language permitting short-term or vacation rentals, including STR, NUC, and TVU references. No such permission is stated, so short-term-rental allowance is not established.
Although the listings repeatedly describe resort-style amenities and services, none mention a hotel rental pool, hotel-managed rental program, or participation in hotel operations. Because STR allowance is not established, this feature must also be false.
The remarks contain no language stating that owners must participate in a hotel rental pool or rental program. Because STR allowance is not established, mandatory hotel-pool participation must also be false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for leasehold, land lease, ground lease, lease expiry, lease expiration, and renewal information. No specific lease-expiry year was found, so the value is unknown.
The public remarks were searched for explicit references to VA approval, VA financing, and VA loan acceptance. None of the listings contain such language, so VA approval is not established.
I searched for insurance language such as "fully insured," "full insurance," "comprehensive building insurance," and "walls-in coverage." The remarks contain no such mention, so full HOA insurance coverage is not confirmed.
Zero of the provided listings mention fire sprinklers or a fire suppression system. However, 18 of 20 current MLS listings mark FIRSPR, indicating broad building-level checkbox support, though the lack of descriptive remarks suggests this may be copied MLS data and warrants only moderate confidence.
I searched for phrases including "fire life safety evaluation passed," "FLSE passed," "fire safety certified," "life safety compliant," and "passed fire inspection." None appear in the public remarks, so this feature cannot be confirmed.
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. Remarks repeatedly cite phrases such as “beautiful ocean views,” “Pacific Ocean,” “oceanfront views,” and “infinity-edge ocean-view pool,” across many different units and listing agents.
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. Examples include “stunning ocean, sunset, harbor,” “sunset skies,” “breathtaking sunsets,” and “enjoy every Friday...fireworks,” with the building’s Sunset Bar or Sunset Lounge also repeatedly referenced.
No analysis available
Multiple remarks explicitly state that fireworks can be viewed from units, including Friday-night fireworks. This directly satisfies the requirement for a fireworks view from the building.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Multiple listings support on-site resident management with phrases including “dedicated services resident specialists,” “full-time resident specialists,” “exceptional building management,” “building team,” and “staffed/manned front desk/entry lobby.” The evidence is consistent across numerous listings and aligns with RESMAN being marked in 20 of 20 listings.
