The Watermark

All available MLS property records (4/4) agree the building was constructed in 2008. No listing remarks conflict with this, so 2008 is accepted as the build year with high confidence.

Listings reference low, mid, and high floors up to at least the 31st floor, indicating a tall high-rise. Public sources consistently describe The Watermark Waikiki as a 38-story building, and no MLS data contradicts this count.

The provided listing remarks do not specify how many units are in the building. External public information for The Watermark Waikiki indicates about 212 units, so this value is adopted with moderate confidence in the absence of contrary MLS evidence.

The remarks focus on amenities, views, and unit features and do not provide any numeric or qualitative owner-occupancy information. Because no percentage or clear statement exists, owner-occupancy is unknown and cannot be guessed.

The public remarks include extensive amenity descriptions but never state the number of elevators. Because no numeric elevator count is provided in any remark and we must not guess, the elevator count is unknown.

Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.

Central air conditioning does not appear to be included in the HOA/maintenance fees. Three of four listings do not check the ACCEN code and no public remarks highlight AC as a covered utility, which would be a strong marketing point if it were included.

Cable TV service appears to be included in the association/maintenance fees, with 6 of 7 current MLS listings marking CABTV in the fee-includes section. Public remarks do not mention cable specifically, but the consistent checkbox usage across multiple listings and agents strongly supports this as a building feature.

Common area electricity is likely included in the association fees, with 5 of 7 current listings checking OTCOEX in the fee-includes field. Although the public remarks focus on amenities and not utilities, the repeated MLS checkbox selection across most listings supports this conclusion.

Co-op taxes are not included in the fees and the building does not appear to be a cooperative. 0 of 4 listings check the COOTAX field, and the remarks consistently refer to the property as a luxury condo in Waikiki with no mention of co-op structure or co-op tax obligations.

Electricity is very likely not included in the HOA fees. All four listings leave the ELECTR checkbox empty and the marketing copy, while describing many amenities, never notes ‘electricity included’ or ‘all utilities included’ as a selling point.

Gas service does not appear to be included in the maintenance fees. None of the MLS entries select the GAS fee-include option, and the remarks never describe gas or gas utilities as part of the HOA coverage.

Hot water is very likely not included in the maintenance/association fees, as 6 of 7 listings indicate individual water heaters (WTRHTR) and only a single listing checks HOTWAT. The remarks do not mention building-supplied hot water, aligning with the MLS data that hot water is handled at the unit level.

Internet service appears to be included in the association fees, supported by 5 of 7 current MLS listings checking INTSER in the fee-includes section. While public remarks emphasize amenities rather than utilities, the consistent checkbox usage across multiple agents strongly supports this feature.

Marina access or boat slip fees are not included in the building’s maintenance fees. 0 of 4 MLS entries mark any marina-related fee inclusion, and the marketing language focuses on ocean and harbor views rather than offering marina facilities as an amenity bundled into the HOA.

Sewer service is very likely included in the association/maintenance fees, with 6 of 7 recent listings checking SEWER in the fee-includes field. Remarks do not discuss sewer charges, and the near-unanimous MLS data across different listings provides strong confirmation.

Water service is very likely included in the association fees, as 6 of 7 current MLS listings select WATER in the fee-includes section. Public remarks are silent on water billing, but the strong and consistent MLS checkbox data across multiple agents supports this as a stable building feature.

Several agents describe BBQ amenities, including 'BBQ pavilion,' 'BBQ pavilions,' 'multiple barbecue spaces,' and a 'BBQ area' in the garden level. This is consistent across listings from different agents and matches the 7/7 MLS BBQ entries. Evidence strongly supports that the building offers shared BBQ/grilling facilities.

None of the 4 listings mention bike storage, bike room, or bicycle facilities, despite listing many other amenities in detail, and MLS data never flags bike storage. This consistent omission across multiple agents suggests the building does not have dedicated bike storage.

The building overlooks the harbor but is marketed for views rather than marina access. The absence of MARINA in MLS and no mention of docks or slips indicate there is no on-site boat dock amenity.

Garage and parking are mentioned, but no car wash facility is noted. MLS data confirms the lack of a designated car wash amenity.

Across all provided remarks, there is no reference to a 'clubhouse,' 'club house,' or community recreation center—agents consistently highlight pool, spa, gym, sauna, BBQ, gardens, walking paths, meeting room, and security instead. Previous data already indicated no clubhouse amenity, and current MLS only inconsistently marks CLUHOU (2/7), suggesting copy-paste or mis-clicks. Given the absence of any descriptive support, a clubhouse is not considered a building feature.

Multiple remarks clearly indicate concierge-style service, including '24 hour front desk resident specialist services,' an 'attentive front desk team,' 'exceptional front desk service,' and an explicitly named 'Concierge desk.' This aligns with prior high-confidence history and appears as independent language across different listings. Together, this strongly supports that the building offers concierge/front desk services.

Even though the building has large garden areas, agents never mention a dedicated dog park or pet run. MLS data likewise omits any dog park amenity.

All descriptions emphasize a front desk/concierge rather than a traditional doorman, and only one listing checked the doorman box with no supporting remarks. This suggests the building has staffed front desk services but not a separate doorman feature.

At least 6 of the 7 public remarks explicitly reference a fitness amenity, using phrases like 'fitness center,' 'exercise room,' 'state-of-the-art gym,' and 'open-air fitness pavilion.' MLS amenities data (EXEROO on 7/7 listings) is fully consistent with these remarks. Together with prior high-confidence data, this clearly confirms a building exercise room/fitness center.

Despite being a luxury building with strong concierge services, no agent mentions building-provided car or limo service. MLS likewise does not show limousine or house car service.

A recent listing explicitly lists a 'meeting room' among the building amenities. With MEEROO selected in the MLS for the vast majority of units, the presence of a shared meeting/conference room is well supported.

Across current listings, 3 of 7 explicitly mention a lanai (including a “generous 222 sq. ft. lanai” and a “spacious lanai”), and all 7 have the patio/deck checkbox selected in MLS. Combined with historical high-confidence evidence of lanais and outdoor resort-style areas, this confirms the building offers patio/deck-type outdoor spaces. This amenity is clearly a common and marketed feature of the property rather than a one-off penthouse attribute.

Multiple agents note 'walking paths,' 'tropically landscaped paths,' and a garden 'with walking path,' inviting residents to stroll through the grounds. This consistent description across listings, plus WAJOPA in MLS, indicates a dedicated walking/jogging path network on the property.

The building is presented as a resort-style, adult-oriented property with gardens and pool but no kids’ playground. MLS confirms the absence of a playground amenity.

Remarks consistently describe shared outdoor spaces—"tropically landscaped paths and yard spaces," "four acres of lush tropical gardens," and a "beautiful garden area with walking path"—with no reference to any fenced or private yard for individual units. Given this, plus prior high-confidence verification that yards are common elements and not private, and the absence of explicit "private yard" language in any listing, the building is not considered to offer private yard space to individual units.

Amenities are focused on pool, spa, gardens, and fitness rather than golf features. With MLS also not listing a putting green, this amenity is almost certainly not present.

Agents repeatedly describe extensive common outdoor areas, including 'four acres of lush tropical gardens,' 'landscaped tropical garden' common areas, and resort-style grounds. Coupled with RECARE checked on most listings, this supports a substantial shared recreation area on the property.

Agents list many shared amenities yet never mention a rec or game room. MLS also omits RECROO, so it's very likely the building lacks a dedicated recreation room.

Dining options are described as nearby, not within the building. With no MLS indication of RESTAU, the property does not appear to host its own restaurant.

Amenity descriptions center on landscaped grounds rather than any rooftop deck or terrace. With MLS also not flagging a roof deck, a shared rooftop amenity is very unlikely.

Multiple agents list a 'sauna' among the resort-style amenities, often alongside the heated pool, Jacuzzi/spa, gym, and BBQ areas. With 6/7 MLS listings marking SAUNA and repeated textual mentions, the presence of a shared sauna is well established. Historical data also treated sauna as a confirmed amenity, which current remarks affirm.

Out of 4 listings, 1 explicitly mentions a 'storage locker' in addition to parking, and MLS data also includes storage in some entries. This strongly suggests the building provides storage lockers/units for residents, even if not highlighted in every listing.

I searched for phrases like "surfboard storage", "board storage", and "surf storage" and found none. Listings reference storage lockers and on-site storage but do not explicitly mention surfboard storage facilities.

Across all four remarks, there is no reference to tennis courts despite detailed amenity descriptions. Combined with MLS showing no tennis court, this indicates the building does not offer this feature.

No agent remarks specifically mention a trash or garbage chute, but TRACHU appears consistently on 7/7 current MLS entries. Given the building’s high-rise luxury profile and prior high-confidence verification of this feature, the evidence strongly supports that a trash chute system is present. The absence of remarks is expected for this kind of back-of-house amenity.

Agents emphasize front desk, security, and garage parking but never refer to 'valet,' 'valet service,' or 'valet parking,' which would normally be a key marketing point if present. Consistent omission in remarks and MLS data across multiple listings indicates the building does not offer valet service.

Listings do not describe the building as gated or enclosed by a wall or fence, and there is no MLS checkbox support for those features. Security is framed around staffed services and a secure garage rather than perimeter barriers, so a wall/fence feature is unlikely.

At least five remarks describe whirlpool-type amenities, citing a 'jacuzzi,' 'Jacuzzi tub,' and 'spa' together with the heated or lagoon-style infinity pool. This aligns with 5/7 MLS entries for WHIRLP and prior high-confidence data for a spa/Jacuzzi at the property. The evidence strongly supports a shared whirlpool/hot tub at the building level.

The building clearly has a shared resort-style swimming pool. In the current set, 6 of 7 listings explicitly reference a pool (e.g., 'heated infinity pool', 'saltwater swimming pool', 'heated lagoon-style infinity pool', 'heated swimming pool & spa'), and all 7 MLS entries have pool amenities checked. Multiple independent agents consistently describe it as a key building amenity, reinforcing prior high-confidence data.

Several remarks explicitly state the pool is heated, including 'heated pool', 'heated lagoon-style infinity pool', and 'heated swimming pool & spa'. In addition, 4 of 6 current MLS entries flag a heated-pool amenity, indicating this is not a one-off description. The evidence strongly and consistently supports that the building’s shared pool is heated.

The public remarks consistently identify the swimming pool as saltwater/salt-water across multiple listings, providing strong explicit confirmation that the pool is salt water.

Multiple data sources confirm in-unit laundry: the current MLS data shows 7 out of 7 listings including washer/dryer in the inclusions, and two remarks explicitly mention an 'in-unit washer and dryer' and 'new washer/dryer.' No listings contradict this, and the consistency across different units and agents indicates that in-unit laundry is a reliable feature of the building. Buyers seeking units with in-unit laundry should consider this building.

Across four listings, none include community/shared laundry in amenities, and detailed remarks listing many building features never mention a laundry room or shared facilities. The presence of in-unit washer/dryers further supports that there is likely no separate community laundry in this building.

I searched for terms such as "coin laundry", "coin-op", "card operated", "quarters", and "paid laundry" and found no references. The public remarks focus on in-unit laundry appliances and do not indicate any paid community laundry.

I searched remarks for phrases like "laundry on each floor", "laundry room on every floor", and "floor-by-floor laundry" and found none. Listings consistently reference in-unit laundry rather than any floor-by-floor community laundry.

Every listing for this building references parking, typically noting two stalls per unit. MLS parking feature codes appear on 4/4 listings, confirming that the building offers on-site parking for residents.

Remarks repeatedly describe 'dedicated' or 'reserved' parking stalls, and the MLS consistently flags ASSIGN on all listings. This strongly supports that resident stalls are assigned in this building.

Covered parking is clearly provided: at least three listings explicitly mention 'Two covered parking stalls included' or 'Two reserved covered parking stalls,' and others note 'parking stalls in a secure garage.' Combined with 7/7 MLS entries indicating covered/garage parking, this strongly confirms the building has covered parking for residents.

The public remarks repeatedly state that units include/come with/are sold with two (and in some units more) assigned, dedicated, reserved, or covered parking stalls. This indicates parking is deeded/owned with the unit per the listings' language.

Across 4 listings, there is no EVCHRG flag and no mention of charging stations in the remarks. This strongly indicates the building does not currently offer EV charging in its parking facilities.

I searched for terms like 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', or 'parking rental' and found none. Because parking is repeatedly described as included/assigned, there is no evidence of a separate monthly parking charge in these remarks.

While the public remarks do not specifically mention guest or visitor parking, 5 of 7 recent MLS entries check the GUEST parking box and earlier listings consistently did as well. This repeated MLS indication across many agents strongly supports that the building provides guest parking.

Parking has secured entry, supported by remarks noting 'two dedicated parking stalls in a secure garage' and '2 dedicated parking spaces in a secure garage.' With most MLS records now checking SECENT and consistent references to a secure garage plus 24/7 security, this is a well-established building feature.

Across 4 listings, there is no TANDEM flag and no language indicating back-to-back parking. The evidence points to conventional separate stalls rather than tandem parking in this building.

Listings emphasize concierge and front desk services but do not mention valet, and the VALET checkbox is absent on all records. This indicates the building does not offer valet parking.

I searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', and similar phrases and found no references. The repeated language about assigned/reserved stalls suggests no public remark evidence of a waitlist.

Across all four listings, agents highlight many amenities but never mention keyed or fob-access elevators. With no MLS checkbox support and no textual hints, keyed elevator security is presumed not to be a distinct building feature.

I searched for terms like "key card access", "fob access", "card reader", and "electronic access" but found no references. While security is frequently noted, there is no explicit statement that card/fob access is used.

Multiple recent listings explicitly describe on-site staffed security, using phrases like '24-hour security', '24/7 security', and 'Concierge desk and 24 hour security'. These references appear across different agents and are consistent with all MLS records flagging security guard service. Taken together, the evidence strongly supports that the building provides 24/7 on-site security personnel.

I searched for security-related terms and found frequent explicit mentions of 24-hour/24/7 security and front desk/resident specialist services. Although "security patrol" or "roving security" is not always verbatim, the repeated 24/7 security references indicate an active security presence/patrol service on-site.

None of the four sets of remarks mention cameras, CCTV, or video monitoring, and no MLS checkbox data supports a video system. Given the emphasis on guards and front desk staff instead, video security cannot be confirmed and is treated as absent for now.

Central air conditioning is strongly supported by MLS data: 6 of 7 current listings check ACCEN/CENAC in unit features and all 7 of 7 include ACCEN in the inclusions field. The property is consistently described as a high-end, resort-style luxury condominium, which strongly aligns with a building-wide central HVAC system and there is no evidence indicating any change away from central AC.

Across 4 listings, there are zero MLS indications (ACSPL) or remark mentions of split or ductless mini‑split AC, even in remodeled units where such an upgrade would typically be advertised. Combined with the presence of central AC, this strongly suggests the building does not offer split AC in its units.

There are no MLS flags (ACWIUN) or textual references to window air conditioners across 4 separate listings, even in units emphasizing upgrades. Coupled with the building’s central AC and high-end profile, the evidence points to window AC not being a feature in this building.

Multiple listings across different agents consistently mark concrete in the construction_materials field (6/7 current listings, plus several historical ones), indicating the building is constructed of concrete. Public remarks focus on amenities and views but do not contradict this, and building structure is not something that would reasonably change over time.

Across 4 MLS entries for this building, double wall construction is never checked. The absence of any mention in remarks, combined with a high-rise concrete/masonry profile, makes double wall construction very unlikely.

All 4 listings omit hollow tile from their construction material selections. With no textual mentions of hollow tile and consistent selection of other materials instead, hollow tile construction is very unlikely.

Masonry/stucco is checked as a construction material in 3 of 4 current MLS listings for this building. The building is presented as a modern luxury high-rise, which is consistent with a masonry/stucco exterior, and there are no remarks suggesting otherwise.

Steel frame appears in the construction materials of just 1 out of 4 listings, while the majority do not indicate it. With no textual support in the remarks and consistent concrete references in the MLS data, the building is unlikely to be classified as steel frame.

Concrete slab construction is checked in just 1 of 4 MLS listings, with the majority not reporting it. Given the lack of any explicit reference in the remarks and the inconsistent checkbox usage, it is more likely the building is not recorded as slab foundation in a reliable way, so slab is treated as not present.

No analysis available

Across 4 listings for this building, wood frame is never selected in the construction materials. The remarks focus on luxury high-rise features and do not reference wood framing, so wood frame construction is very unlikely.

Above ground construction is selected in 3 of 4 listings for the building. The descriptions of secure garage parking and elevated views from multiple floors align with an above-ground high-rise structure, supporting this classification.

None of the 4 listings for this building identify brick as a construction material. The marketing language emphasizes a modern luxury high-rise, with no suggestion of brick-and-mortar construction, so brick construction can be ruled out with high confidence.

Single wall construction is never indicated in the construction materials for any of the 4 listings. The property is marketed as a premiere luxury condominium with resort-style amenities, not as an older single-wall style building, so single wall construction can be confidently excluded.

I looked for explicit indicators of short-term rental policy (e.g., 'STR permitted', 'vacation rental allowed', 'TVU', 'NUC') and found none. Absence of mention means STR cannot be confirmed from these remarks; per rules this is marked false with medium confidence.

I searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', and hotel-management language; none appear in the remarks. Since short-term rentals are not indicated, there is no evidence of hotel pool participation.

I searched for 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or 'must be in rental program' and found no such language. The remarks include general rental/investment mentions but nothing indicating a required or mandatory hotel pool.

Although the FS/LH MLS fields are blank for the 4 sampled listings, public sources consistently describe The Watermark Waikiki as fee simple. No listing remarks mention lease rent or leasehold terms, supporting the conclusion that the building offers fee simple units and not leasehold ones.

Across the sampled listings, there is no reference to leasehold tenure, lease rent, or lease expiration. Combined with public data describing the project as fee simple, this provides strong evidence that the building does not have leasehold units.

I looked for phrases such as 'lease expires', 'land lease to', 'ground lease ends', or specific expiry years and found none. The listings describe fee-simple luxury condominium features; no lease expiry year is provided.

I searched the remarks for terms like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans accepted' and found no references. With no explicit mention, VA financing eligibility cannot be confirmed from these remarks.

The public remarks do not state that the HOA carries full (walls-in) insurance or comprehensive building insurance. With no explicit mentions and no prior verified value, this is reported as false with medium confidence.

Multiple MLS listings over time consistently check the fire sprinkler amenity for this building (historically 4/6, currently 5/7), indicating strong, repeated agent confirmation. Public remarks for these units do not mention sprinklers explicitly, but the building’s modern high-rise construction and life-safety requirements further support that a fire sprinkler system is present. Evidence is strong across many listings rather than a one-off copy-paste error.

There is no explicit statement in the public remarks that the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation. In the absence of any mention and with no existing recorded value, we report false with medium confidence (absence is more likely to mean not stated).

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

Six of seven recent listings mention ocean views with clear phrases like 'sweeping ocean views,' 'breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean,' and 'view of the boat harbor, ocean.' These references come from multiple units and agents, strongly confirming that the building offers ocean-view units. Historical data already had high confidence for ocean views, which is reinforced by the current remarks.

Across four listings with extensive view descriptions, agents consistently highlight ocean, harbor, city, and garden views but never mountain views. This repeated omission suggests the building does not meaningfully offer mountain-view units.

Four separate agents describe views in detail without any reference to Diamond Head. Given the strong marketing language around views, the absence of Diamond Head mentions indicates Diamond Head views are not a feature of this building.

At least two listings explicitly reference city views, using language like 'garden, and city views' and 'views of the Pacific, city skyline.' This repeated description across different high-floor units confirms that the building offers units with city views irrespective of unchecked MLS city-view boxes.

Agents emphasize 'Pacific Ocean' and harbor views rather than any 'coastline' or 'shoreline' perspective. The absence of coastline language across detailed view descriptions suggests coastline views are not a distinct feature here.

Listings mention 'garden...views' and 'eye-level view of the...common area of landscaped tropical garden', plus emphasize the surrounding 'lush tropical gardens'. This supports that units in the building can enjoy garden/courtyard views.

Agents consistently promote ocean, harbor, city, and garden views but never mention any golf course outlook. The lack of any reference across multiple listings indicates golf course views are not a building feature.

Multiple listings highlight marina or harbor aspects such as 'Ala Wai Boat Harbor,' 'Ala Moana harbor,' 'marina, garden, and city views,' and 'eye-level view of the boat harbor.' These consistent descriptions across several units indicate that buyers can find marina/harbor-view units in this building. The pattern aligns with earlier data that already treated marina views as a confirmed feature.

A high-floor unit is marketed as a place to 'enjoy breakfast at sunrise' on the lanai with ocean views. This explicit sunrise reference confirms that some units offer sunrise views.

Several current listings describe enjoying the unit at sunset, including wording like 'coastline and sunsets,' 'unwind at sunset on the spacious lanai,' and 'dinner at sunset.' These repeated mentions from different units demonstrate that sunset views are a meaningful selling point in this building. Historical data already strongly supported sunset views, which the new remarks affirm.

Across four listings, there is no reference to any cemetery or similar outlook, with views instead centered on ocean, marina, city, and gardens. This strongly indicates that cemetery views are not associated with this building.

I searched for explicit phrases like "fireworks view", "watch fireworks from lanai", and "see fireworks from unit" and found none. Listings highlight sunsets and panoramic ocean/marina views but do not claim fireworks viewing from the building.

No analysis available

Across all available data, there is no 'no pets' language or NOPET restriction code, which is usually present when a building prohibits animals. While specific pet rules (size/number limits) are not described, the consistent absence of any no-pet restriction suggests that some form of pets are allowed in the building.

Several listings describe robust on-site staffing including '24 hour front desk resident specialist services,' 'professional and attentive front desk team,' and a 'concierge desk' alongside 24/7 security. Together with 3/6 MLS checkboxes for RESMAN and no contradictory remarks, this strongly supports the presence of an on-site resident/manager-type service in the building.

Remarks focus on living in a luxury condominium ('residence,' 'home,' 'move-in-ready retreat') rather than participating in a hotel program or short-term rental operation. The lack of any 'condotel,' 'hotel program,' or similar wording, combined with MLS data, strongly indicates this is a standard condominium, not a condotel.

Listings describe it as 'one of the premiere condominium buildings in Waikiki' and discuss units and parking stalls in typical condo terms, with no hint of share-based ownership or co-op structures. Given the MLS coding and language used, it is almost certainly not a cooperative.
