Waikiki Lanais
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 any explicit owner-occupancy statements in the remarks, such as a percentage or a phrase indicating the building is heavily owner occupied, and found none. Per the rules, the current value of 34% is retained because there is no remark-based evidence to change it. This remains a low-confidence field due to the lack of public confirmation.
I searched the remarks for an explicit elevator count or phrases such as 'multiple elevators' and found none. The listings only confirm that the building has elevator access, so the current value of 2 is retained with low confidence. Given the 21-story height, two elevators is plausible, but there is no remark-level confirmation.

Cable TV inclusion is strongly supported across the building. Current MLS data shows CABTV in 18 of 20 listings, and multiple remarks say things like “maintenance fee covers cable,” “cable TV and internet,” and “all utilities.” This looks consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy/paste error.
Consistent evidence: 15 of 20 MLS entries include OTCOEX and multiple public remarks explicitly note common area items or common area electricity are included in HOA/maintenance fees. Language is repeated across listings, indicating building-level inclusion.
No analysis available
Electricity is very clearly included in the HOA/maintenance fee. Current MLS data has ELECTR in 18 of 20 listings, and many remarks say “electricity,” “all utilities,” or list electricity among the covered expenses. This is repeated frequently enough to be high confidence.
Gas appears to be included for the building. The current MLS data shows GAS in 13 of 20 listings, and remarks repeatedly say “maintenance fee includes gas,” “HOA fee includes gas,” or list gas among all utilities. Evidence is strong, though slightly less universal than electricity or water.
Hot water is strongly supported as an included utility. Current MLS data shows HOTWAT in 17 of 20 listings, and several remarks specifically say “(hot) water” or “hot water” is included in the maintenance fee. This is consistent building-wide evidence, not just one listing.
Internet is clearly included in the maintenance fee. Current MLS data has INTSER in 17 of 20 listings, and remarks repeatedly mention “internet included,” “wifi,” or list internet among all utilities. This is strong, repeated evidence across multiple listings.
No analysis available
Sewer coverage is highly consistent for this building. Current MLS data shows SEWER in 18 of 20 listings, and remarks often say “sewer included” or list it as part of all utilities. The evidence is broad and repeated across listings.
Water is very clearly included in the HOA/maintenance fee. Current MLS data shows WATER in 18 of 20 listings, and remarks frequently say “water included,” “all utilities,” or list water alongside electricity, cable, and sewer. This is strong building-level evidence.
There is strong building-level evidence for shared BBQ facilities. Many listings independently describe rooftop grilling or barbecue space with details like 'wet bar,' 'BBQ grills,' and 'rooftop barbecue area,' supporting this as a real common amenity. The repeated phrasing across agents suggests genuine building features rather than checkbox copying alone.

Minimal evidence: 3/20 MLS checkboxes list car wash but zero public remarks mention 'car wash', 'auto wash', or similar. Given no narrative corroboration and no prior confidence, this appears to be isolated checkbox usage by some agents rather than a clearly documented shared building facility.
No analysis available
No listings in the provided remarks describe concierge service, front desk service, or a staffed concierge desk. The building is repeatedly described as secured with a resident manager, which is not the same as concierge. Based on the remarks, concierge does not appear to be a valid building feature despite the lone MLS checkbox.

Evidence is extremely strong and consistent across the listings. Roughly 15+ remarks explicitly reference a gym/fitness room/workout room, and the MLS data is unanimous at 20/20 for the exercise-room amenity. This looks like a true shared building feature, not a copy-paste anomaly.

Strong evidence that Waikiki Lanais offers patio/deck-style outdoor spaces. Well over a dozen listings mention a shared rooftop deck or rooftop recreation/amenity deck, often with BBQs, wet bar, seating, and panoramic views, plus many units mention large private lanais. The consistency across many remarks and multiple agents makes this feature highly reliable.

The building clearly offers a shared recreation/amenity deck. Multiple listings mention 'rooftop recreation deck,' 'rec deck,' or 'rooftop party area' with seating and views, which aligns with the MLS amenity data. While fewer listings call it out than some other amenities, the references are consistent and building-level.

Sauna is consistently supported as a building amenity. Current remarks frequently mention 'sauna' or 'men's and women's saunas,' and the MLS data also shows strong support. This appears to be a genuine common feature available to residents.
Confidence 78%: One remark notes 'an available storge unit' along with the condo, and a few MLS entries flag storage (STORAG/ADDLVSTORAG), suggesting some units have access to separate storage in the building.
This is a direct match for surfboard storage. The remarks name surfboard storage explicitly, so confidence is very high.
No analysis available
Trash chute is strongly supported by the MLS checkbox history even though public remarks seldom call it out. With 19 of 20 listings showing TRACHU, this is very likely a real building system. The lack of repeated mention in remarks is not enough to override such strong historical evidence.

This feature is strongly corroborated by both MLS data and public remarks. Many listings explicitly mention 'jacuzzi,' 'hot tub,' or 'whirlpool,' often alongside the pool and sauna. The repeated presence across many agents makes this a very reliable shared amenity.
Strong, repeated evidence confirms Waikiki Lanais has a shared pool. The pool is mentioned across many listings by multiple agents, including phrases like 'pool,' 'swimming pool,' 'rooftop pool,' and 'amenities include pool, hot tub, sauna, fitness center.' This appears to be consistent building-level amenity data, not just copy-paste in a few isolated remarks.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit salt-water pool wording and found none. The listings confirm a pool exists, but they do not characterize it as salt water.
No analysis available
Strong, consistent evidence that Waikiki Lanais has shared/community laundry facilities. The current remarks mention it across many listings, including explicit phrases such as "community laundry," "on site laundry facility," "large laundry room," "Laundry on the 5th floor," and "laundry facilities on each floor." This appears to be a building-wide amenity repeatedly confirmed by multiple agents rather than a copy-paste error.
I searched for language indicating paid laundry such as coin-operated, card-operated, quarters, or laundry fees, but found none. Because the listings do mention laundry facilities, I am not treating this as evidence of payment.
The remarks directly support laundry on every floor, which matches the feature definition. I found explicit floor-by-floor references rather than a generic laundry room mention, so this is strong evidence.
No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence that Waikiki Lanais offers assigned/reserved parking. At least 14 of 20 MLS listings show ASSIGN, and many remarks explicitly mention phrases like 'one assigned parking stall,' 'one designated parking space,' 'assigned covered parking,' and 'reserved garage parking stall.' The consistency across multiple listings suggests this is not just copy-paste checkbox noise.
Very strong evidence that the building provides covered parking. The current MLS data shows 19 of 20 listings marked as covered/garage parking, and the remarks consistently confirm it with phrases such as 'one assigned covered stall,' '1 covered parking,' 'reserved garage parking stall,' and 'covered parking stall on ground floor.'
A direct statement confirms deeded parking. Other remarks mention assigned, reserved, or covered stalls, but the deeded wording is the strongest evidence. This supports parking being owned with the unit.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for any monthly parking fee language, additional parking cost, or parking rental terms and found none. The listings consistently say parking is included, assigned, reserved, or deeded, but do not mention a separate parking fee.
Guest parking is clearly available at Waikiki Lanais. Many remarks across different listings mention six guest stalls or guest parking, which is consistent enough to treat as a building-level feature rather than an isolated unit amenity.

I looked for references to a parking waitlist, parking waiting list, or instructions to join a list and found nothing. The remarks describe available, assigned, reserved, or guest parking instead, so there is no evidence of a waitlist system.
No analysis available
This is direct evidence of card/fob access security. Multiple remarks describe secure entry and fob-controlled access points, including elevators.
Security service appears to be present in the building. Across the remarks, multiple listings describe the property as "secured," mention a "resident manager on site," and one listing explicitly says the building has "resident manager and staff, 24x7 security." The repeated language across many agents suggests this is a real building feature rather than isolated copy-paste noise.
I looked for patrol-specific wording, but the listings only describe a secure building with a guard/resident manager and secure entry. That supports general security, not a patrol service.

Evidence strongly supports window/wall AC availability in the building. 18 of 20 current MLS listings include ACWIUN, and several recent remarks explicitly describe unit A/C, including "A/C in all bedrooms and the living space," "Brand new A/C," and a "22K BTU air conditioning system." This is consistent across multiple listings and does not look like a one-off copy-paste error.
Concrete construction is strongly supported by the current MLS record across all listings: 20 of 20 entries list CONCRE in construction_materials. The public remarks repeatedly describe Waikiki Lanais as a secured high-rise building with shared amenities, which is consistent with concrete construction, and there is no contrary evidence in the remarks.
Weak / limited evidence: only 3 of 20 current MLS listings list DOUWAL in construction_materials and none of the public remarks mention 'double wall' or 'double-wall construction'. This could reflect a few agents checking the box or some units having it, but overall support is minimal.

Weak evidence for 'above ground' construction: only 3 of 20 current MLS listings have ABOGRO checked and none of the public remarks mention 'above ground' construction or materials. With no historical confirmation and no explicit remarks describing such construction, the checkbox entries appear inconsistent and may be agent copy/paste rather than a true building-level attribute.

The listings clearly indicate rentals are allowed only at a 30-day minimum, which means short-term rentals are not allowed. I looked for STR language such as vacation rental, transient rental, or legal short-term rental and found none. This is strong evidence that STR is not allowed.
I searched for hotel pool, hotel rental program, and hotel-managed terminology and found no such references. Since the building is also described as not allowing short-term daily rentals, there is no basis for a hotel rental pool feature. This remains false.
I looked for language like required participation, cannot opt out, or mandatory rental pool enrollment and found none. The remarks describe standard residential ownership and rental use with a 30-day minimum, not a mandatory hotel program. This is therefore false.

The building is repeatedly described as leasehold, and the most specific explicit expiry year given is 2042. I used the latest clearly stated lease expiration year from the remarks. No later extension date appears in the provided text.
The public remarks repeatedly and directly confirm VA financing eligibility. Several listings also mention assumable VA loans, which is strong supporting evidence. This is high-confidence evidence from the listings themselves.
I found several explicit statements supporting full insurance coverage, including 'Fully insured for hurricane coverage' and '100% hurricane insurance coverage.' There is one contradictory remark saying the building is currently not 100% hurricane insured, so confidence is reduced. Overall, the public remarks lean toward fully insured, but the evidence is not perfectly consistent.
No analysis available
I looked for any public remark indicating the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation or passed a fire inspection, but found nothing. Because there is no explicit mention in the remarks, I cannot confirm this feature. The current value is therefore not supported by the listing text.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Strong building-level evidence for ocean views. Across many listings, remarks say things like “ocean views,” “sweeping ocean views,” “panoramic, wrap-around views of Diamond Head, the Pacific Ocean,” and “partial ocean views.” The repetition across multiple agents suggests this is a real and consistently marketed feature, not just copy-paste checkbox noise.
Mountain views are well supported for this building. Across the remarks, at least 8 listings explicitly mention mountain-related views, including phrases like 'sweeping Mauka views,' 'Ko'olau mountain range,' and 'Diamond Head and mountain views.' The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents, so this feature should be included.
Very strong evidence that the building offers Diamond Head views. Multiple listings explicitly mention “Diamond Head vistas,” “panoramic views of Diamond Head,” “Diamond Head views from every room,” and rooftop views of Diamond Head. This is consistent across several remarks and aligns with the MLS trend showing DIAHEA in multiple listings.
City views are strongly supported for this building. The current MLS data shows city views in 17 of 20 listings, and remarks repeatedly reference 'city views,' 'city lights,' and rooftop views of 'city, ocean, and mountains.' This appears to be a real building-level offering rather than a one-off agent mistake.
Confidence 95%: Multiple listings describe 'beautiful ocean views', views of 'Waikiki Beach', and 'sweeping ocean views' from the rooftop and high-floor units, which equate to coastline views.

Multiple listings (at least 8+) reference direct views of the Ala Wai Canal, such as 'Enjoy views of the Ala Wai Canal and Ala Wai golf course' and 'sweeping views of the golf course, Ala Wai canal.' The building is also described as being 'right on the Ala Wai Canal,' indicating canal/marina-style views are a consistent feature for many units. Combined with 3/20 MLS entries marked MARCAN and no 'NONE' view tags, this strongly supports including marina/canal view as a building feature.
No analysis available
Evidence supports sunset views as a building feature. One remark specifically says the rooftop grilling and entertainment space “affords sweeping ocean views for beautiful sunset dinners,” and another references views “from sunrise to sunset.” The feature appears to be associated with the rooftop amenity deck and is reinforced by multiple view-oriented remarks.
No analysis available
I looked for explicit statements about seeing fireworks from the building, lanai, or unit, but the remarks only mention ocean, Diamond Head, golf course, canal, city, and mountain views. There is no direct fireworks-view evidence.

Evidence is strong and consistent across many listings. Multiple remarks explicitly state the building has a resident manager on site, including phrases such as "Resident Manager on site," "onsite manager," and "full-time resident manager." This appears to be repeated, independent confirmation rather than a copy-paste MLS checkbox issue.
