No analysis available
I looked for phrases like '80% owner occupied,' 'majority owner occupied,' or 'highly owner occupied,' but found none. The remarks reference resident counts, tenant-occupied units, and owner-used units, but those do not provide a building-wide owner-occupancy percentage.
I searched the remarks for an explicit count such as '4 elevators,' 'four elevators,' or 'multiple elevators,' but found none. The listings do mention private or dedicated elevators serving certain residences, which confirms elevator access exists but does not establish the total number of building elevators.
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.
Cable TV appears to be a real building-level fee inclusion based on the MLS record: 14 of 20 current listings check CABTV. Public remarks do not explicitly mention cable, but there is enough repeated MLS support across multiple listings to treat this as included.
Common-area electricity is well supported by the MLS data, with 16 of 20 listings checking OTCOEX. The remarks focus on the building's amenities and services, which is consistent with shared operating costs being included in the maintenance fee.

Gas inclusion is strongly supported by the MLS record, with 18 of 20 listings checking GAS. One public remark specifically mentions 'gas cooking,' which aligns with the building having gas service available and strengthens the case that gas is included in fees.
Hot water inclusion is very consistent across the MLS records, with 18 of 20 listings checking HOTWAT. The public remarks do not contradict this, and the overall pattern strongly suggests hot water is part of the maintenance fee.
Internet service appears to be included based on the MLS history: 16 of 20 listings include INTSER. Although the remarks are silent on internet, the repeated MLS pattern is strong enough to treat this as a building fee inclusion.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is strongly supported by the MLS records, with 17 of 20 listings checking SEWER. The public remarks are silent on sewer, but the repeated building-level MLS pattern makes this a credible fee inclusion.
Water inclusion is strongly supported by the MLS data, with 17 of 20 listings including WATER. The remarks do not explicitly discuss water, but the repeated checkbox pattern across listings makes this a reliable building-level feature.
BBQ facilities are very strongly confirmed across the listings. Multiple independent remarks mention "BBQ pavilions," "BBQ cabanas," and "barbecue pavilions," often alongside other shared amenities, indicating this is a real common-area feature.
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 clearly present and consistently advertised across the listings. Multiple remarks use direct service language such as "concierge service," "concierge team," "dedicated services resident specialists," and "staffed/manned front desk/entry lobby," showing broad support across different listings and agents. This is not limited to implied service; it is explicitly stated many times.
Dog park/pet exercise space is clearly present. Multiple listings explicitly say "dog park," and the consistency across remarks makes this one of the most straightforward amenities to verify. The evidence appears genuine rather than copied from a single template.
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.
Exercise-room style amenities are extremely well supported. Across many remarks, agents consistently describe a gym/fitness center and exercise rooms, including phrases like "gym," "fitness center," and "active/passive exercise Rms." This appears to be a stable building-wide amenity rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
No analysis available
Meeting-room style amenities are strongly supported. One remark explicitly says the library is for "private meetings," and other listings reference party rooms, dining rooms, and hospitality spaces that function as meeting areas. The repeated theme across listings supports this as a shared amenity.
Strong building-level evidence that Waiea offers patio/deck-type outdoor spaces. Numerous listings mention a 'lanai' or 'covered lanai/terrace' (e.g., 69 sf lanai, 159 sf lanai, 336 sq. ft. covered terrace, 154 sq. ft. lanai) and several also reference the 'amenity deck' and outdoor cabanas/BBQ areas. This appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a copy-paste anomaly, so the feature should be included.

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
The building clearly offers a shared recreation/amenity area. Several remarks describe a 7th-floor rec deck and outdoor amenity deck spaces, along with poolside and lounge areas. This is consistent across multiple listings and agents.
There is strong evidence for a recreation/party room type amenity. The remarks reference party rooms, entertainment areas, and dining/chef-kitchen spaces that function as a shared recreation room. The feature appears repeatedly enough to support inclusion with high confidence.
Restaurant/dining facility evidence is moderately strong. Some remarks reference 'ground-floor dining options' and 'ground-floor restaurants', though the language is less consistent than for core amenities like the gym or pool.
No analysis available
Sauna is one of the most consistently documented amenities in the building. Numerous listings explicitly reference sauna, steam sauna, or steam room, and the feature appears in nearly every MLS record. The evidence is strong and repetitive across sources.
Strong evidence that Waiea offers storage units/lockers. At least 20+ current remarks explicitly mention storage rooms, storage units, or unit numbers (e.g., “large storage room,” “storage #348,” “Storage Room 4-09,” “2 storage rooms,” and “storage unit S-350 ONLY”), which is consistent across multiple listings and agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error. Current MLS data also shows storage-related entries in amenities and unit features, reinforcing that storage is a real building feature.
I looked for surfboard storage references, including board storage or bike-and-surfboard storage. The remarks mention separate storage rooms and nearby surfing activities, but nothing about dedicated surfboard 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.
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/hot tub/spa amenities are strongly confirmed. Many listings explicitly mention "hot tub," "jacuzzi," or "spa," often grouped together in the amenity deck descriptions. This is consistent across multiple agents and units.
Pool is strongly supported across the building. Across the supplied remarks, many listings explicitly mention a shared pool in varied forms—"swim/lap pool," "infinity pool," and "infinity-edged ocean-view pool"—showing this is a building-level amenity, not a one-off unit feature. The evidence appears consistent across multiple listings and agents, with no indication it is merely copy-paste error.
Heated pool is supported mainly by MLS amenity coding rather than the public remarks. The remarks consistently reference pool amenities, but they do not explicitly use phrases like "heated pool" or "heated swimming pool," so the heating aspect is implied by the MLS data rather than directly verified in the text. This is moderate evidence, not a clear remark-based confirmation.
I searched for salt-water pool wording like "salt water pool," "saltwater pool," "salt pool," or "saline pool." The pool is described as infinity, ocean-view, lap, or resort-style, but not as salt water.
In-unit laundry is strongly supported across the building and appears consistent rather than anecdotal. Multiple current remarks explicitly mention it, including "dedicated laundry room," "laundry room," and "full size washer/dryer," which aligns with the prior 20/20 MLS inclusions data. This is high-confidence evidence from several listings, not just a single agent's copy-paste.
No analysis available
I looked for explicit paid-laundry wording such as coin laundry, coin-op, card-operated machines, quarters, or laundry fees. The remarks only reference laundry rooms or washer/dryer in units, with no evidence that community laundry is pay-per-use.
I searched for public-remarks language like "laundry on every floor," "laundry room on each floor," and similar floor-by-floor community laundry references. The listings mention in-unit laundry room/washer-dryer in some units, but nothing indicates community laundry on every floor.
No analysis available
Assigned/reserved parking is well supported across the building. Current MLS data shows 13 of 20 listings with ASSIGN, and several remarks explicitly mention assigned or designated stalls, suggesting this is a real building feature rather than a one-off agent entry. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and not just copy-paste MLS checkbox data.
Covered parking appears universal for Waiea. All 20 current MLS entries include covered/garage-related parking features, and the public remarks repeatedly confirm garages, covered stalls, or garage-access parking. This is high-confidence building-level evidence rather than a copied checkbox artifact.
I searched for language like deeded parking, owned stall, or parking included in deed and found none. The listings repeatedly reference assigned parking stalls, which suggests parking access, but they do not establish that the stalls are deeded with the unit.
No analysis available
I looked for any monthly parking fee, extra parking charge, or rental parking language and found nothing. The remarks mention parking stalls and EV chargers, but not any separate parking cost, so no fee can be confirmed.
Guest parking has mixed support in the MLS checkbox data, with 12 of 20 listings marked GUEST. However, the public remarks do not clearly confirm guest parking; they mostly mention guest suites and resort amenities, which are different features. This looks like moderate MLS-level support without strong remark confirmation.
Moderate evidence: 10 of 20 MLS records mark secured parking and several remarks mention concierge, valet, a staffed front desk, and 24/7 security. This supports that parking access is secured in practice, but fewer explicit references to gated/card-access parking reduce overall certainty.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for parking waitlist, waiting list, and join-the-waitlist wording and found none. The remarks instead describe units with assigned or included parking, so there is no evidence of a waitlist system from the public remarks.
No analysis available
I looked for card/fob access language such as key card access, fob entry, card reader, electronic access, or keycard entry. The remarks do mention concierge, front desk, security, and private elevators/foyers, but no explicit card-access security system.
Security guard service is strongly supported by both the MLS history and the public remarks. At least several listings explicitly reference security, including phrases like "24/7 security service" and "exceptional privacy, and security," which is consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste. No evidence suggests the feature has been removed.
I searched for explicit patrol references like security patrol, roving security, patrol service, or patrolled building. The listings mention security and 24/7 security service, but they do not specifically say patrol service.
No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence supports central air conditioning at Waiea. Historical MLS data is very consistent across listings, with 17 of 20 checking ACCEN/CENAC and 19 of 20 including ACCEN, which suggests this is not a one-off agent entry. Current remarks do not mention AC explicitly, but they also do not conflict with the long-standing MLS pattern.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Concrete construction is very strongly supported by the MLS: 20 of 20 current listings use the CONCRE code. The public remarks do not explicitly mention concrete, but there is no conflicting evidence, so this remains a highly reliable building 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 supported by a strong current majority of listings, with 13 of 20 using the STEFRA code. The remarks do not explicitly confirm it, but there is also no evidence of a correction or change, so the feature should remain included.
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
I searched for explicit STR-permitted language such as short-term rental allowed, legal vacation rental, NUC, or TVU and found none. There is also no 30-day-minimum or owner-occupant-only wording in the remarks, so the building's STR policy is not documented here and is treated as not supported.
I looked for hotel rental pool, hotel-managed, branded rental program, or similar references and found none. Because there is no evidence that STR is allowed, this must be false.
I searched for wording like mandatory pool participation, required rental program, or cannot opt out and found nothing. With no STR evidence at all, mandatory hotel-pool participation is not supported and must be false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for leasehold wording, ground lease references, renewal language, and any 4-digit lease expiration year, but nothing was stated. Since the remarks do not mention a leasehold arrangement or expiry date, the lease expiry year cannot be extracted.
I searched the remarks for explicit VA-loan approval language and found none. The listings emphasize amenities, views, and parking, but do not indicate VA financing eligibility, so this remains unconfirmed and is treated as not supported by the remarks.
I searched the remarks for HOA insurance language that would indicate full or walls-in coverage, but the listings do not discuss insurance at all. With no explicit evidence, this remains unconfirmed from the public remarks.
Fire sprinklers appear in 14 of 20 current MLS listings. However, none of the public remarks explicitly mention a sprinkler system, so the support is moderate rather than strong and may reflect copy/paste MLS entry.
I looked for public-remarks language indicating the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation or similar inspection status, but nothing in the listings refers to that. Because there is no explicit mention, I cannot confirm the feature from these remarks.

Strong building-level evidence for ocean views. Roughly 20+ remarks explicitly reference ocean views, often in multiple unit descriptions and amenity blurbs, with phrases like 'spectacular ocean views,' 'breathtaking ocean views,' and 'Pacific Ocean vistas.' This appears consistent across many listings rather than copy-paste noise.
Moderately strong building-level evidence for mountain views. Multiple current remarks reference mountains directly, including Diamond Head, Koolau mountains, and "serene mountain vistas," showing the feature appears in several units. The evidence is not as universal as ocean views, but it is consistent enough to confirm the building offers mountain-view units.
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.
There is solid evidence that the building offers coastline/shoreline views. Several remarks directly state "Waikiki Coastline," "coastlines," or "sandy beach shoreline," and the current MLS data remains strong with 14/20 listings showing COASTL. The pattern appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste.
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
Strong building-level evidence that the building offers marina/harbor views. Many current listings explicitly mention "Kewalo Harbor," "Kewalo Yacht Harbor," "harbor," and related waterfront views, often alongside ocean and sunset views. The pattern appears across multiple agents and listings, supporting this as a real building feature rather than a checkbox artifact.
No analysis available
Strong evidence the building offers sunset views. Many listings—well over ten—explicitly mention sunset views or sunset-facing amenities, with phrases like 'enjoy beautiful ocean, harbor and sunset view,' 'breathtaking views of sunsets,' and 'Friday night fireworks.' The consistency across multiple remarks strongly supports this feature.
No analysis available
The remarks clearly confirm fireworks views from units, not just proximity to fireworks. This is directly supported by multiple listings describing fireworks being visible from the residence.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Resident manager/on-site staffing is supported by 19 of 20 current MLS listings. The remarks repeatedly mention 'resident specialists,' 'full-time resident specialists,' and 'staffed/manned front desk/entry lobby,' which strongly confirms the feature and suggests consistent marketing across listings.
