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.

The county assessor reports 38 floors, matching the stored value. Listings are sparse at the upper levels, reach only 36 by unit number, and include no penthouse listings, so they do not establish a different top residential floor.

The county’s reconciled residential unit count and CPR count both report 197 for this single-building parcel. The county dwell sum of 212 was set aside because reconciled units are the preferred residential figure; no MLS or state figure is available.

I searched for an explicit owner-occupancy percentage and phrases such as "majority owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied." No relevant statements were found, so the owner-occupancy rate remains unknown.

I searched for explicit references such as "4 elevators," "four elevators," or "multiple elevators." None were found; the remarks only mention proximity to an elevator. The building context suggests multiple elevators may be plausible, but no number can be determined without explicit evidence.

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

At least several listings explicitly mention "central air conditioning" or "Central AC," including descriptions of units 2101 and 704. ACCEN is also present in 6 of 20 MLS records, providing corroboration despite inconsistent checkbox usage.

Cable TV is listed in the association fee inclusions for 17 of 20 listings. The evidence is strong across the MLS records, although the public remarks generally omit cable details and therefore appear to rely on repeated building-level data.

Common-area electricity is supported mainly by repeated MLS inclusion of OTCOEX in 13 of 20 listings. Numerous remarks confirm substantial shared amenities and maintained common areas, but the exact electricity billing language is generally absent.

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.

Six of 20 listings identify hot water as included, while 14 identify unit water heaters, creating a material conflict. The remark describing a “brand new water heater installed July 2026” supports unit-level water heating for at least some residences, so this feature should be treated as uncertain rather than strongly confirmed.

Internet service is listed in 15 of 20 association fee records. Multiple listings explicitly mention “Wi-Fi in common areas,” providing corroboration across remarks, although the repeated wording suggests some copy-paste.

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 is listed as included in 18 of 20 current MLS records. The high level of agreement strongly supports inclusion, even though the public remarks focus on amenities and views rather than utility billing.

Water is listed as included in 18 of 20 current association fee records. Remarks do not explicitly describe water billing, but the highly consistent MLS data provides strong building-level evidence; references to individual water heaters primarily affect the hot-water determination.

BBQ facilities are consistently documented across the listings, with more than 25 remarks citing "BBQ areas," "multiple barbecue areas," "barbecue pavilions," or similar wording. The 20/20 MLS checkbox presence and repeated independent descriptions strongly confirm this building amenity.

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.

The listings discuss covered parking, garages, guest parking, and storage but never describe a designated car-wash facility. The isolated current MLS checkbox is unsupported by public remarks and is likely a copied or incorrect agent selection.

Clubhouse status is weakly supported: only 4 of 20 current MLS records contain the CLUHOU code, and no supplied remark explicitly says "clubhouse" or "club house." Some listings mention a recreation deck, library/media room, lounge, or open-air lobby, but these are not definitive clubhouse references; retain cautiously because the historical assessment was not low-confidence.

At least 13 listings explicitly mention concierge-related service, including "concierge service," "concierge desk," "high-end concierge services," and "concierge Front Desk." Multiple listings also describe attentive or professional front-desk staff, providing strong building-level confirmation despite the lower current checkbox count.

No supplied listing describes a “dog park,” “dog run,” or dedicated pet area. A few remarks mention that the building is pet friendly or that pets can unwind in the garden, but those statements do not establish a dedicated dog facility; the lone MLS checkbox is insufficient against the otherwise consistent absence.

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.

Exercise facilities are strongly confirmed across the listing set, with more than 20 public-remark entries using phrases such as "fitness center," "gym," "exercise room," and "open-air fitness pavilion." The agreement across many agents and the 20/20 MLS presence indicates a genuine shared building amenity rather than an isolated copy-paste error.

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.

The meeting-room amenity is strongly confirmed, with approximately 18 listings mentioning "meeting room," "upscale meeting room," "library meeting room," or "meeting rooms." The 17/20 MLS presence and repeated descriptions from multiple listing styles support a genuine shared facility.

At least 30 current listing remarks mention a lanai or equivalent outdoor living space, including 'two private lanais,' 'large lanais,' 'covered lanai,' and 'open-air covered lanai.' The repeated descriptions come from numerous units and agents, strongly confirming that patio/deck-style outdoor spaces are available in the building; this is consistent with the historically high-confidence finding and MLS PATDEC/COVPAT data.

Walking or jogging paths are confirmed in more than a dozen remarks, including "walking and jogging paths," "walking/jogging paths," "walking path," "tropically landscaped pathways," and landscaped garden paths. Although only 8/20 MLS records check the field, the repeated descriptions show this is a building-level amenity.

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.

No current listing explicitly confirms a private or fenced yard for a unit. A few remarks mention shared "yard spaces," lush gardens, common grounds, or a "private oasis," but these refer to the condominium's communal landscaped areas rather than private yards; the 9 of 20 PRIYAR checkboxes therefore appear likely to be inaccurate copy-paste data.

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.

A shared recreation area is supported by multiple independent descriptions. Key phrases include “recreation deck,” “acre of open space,” “common area oasis,” and “island-luxury recreation area,” indicating substantial common recreational grounds even though the feature is not mentioned in every listing.

There is no reliable multi-listing confirmation of a dedicated recreation room. Although two listings carry the RECROO checkbox, public remarks generally mention a library/media room, lounge, meeting room, or other shared spaces rather than a clearly identified recreation room, suggesting checkbox carryover or misclassification.

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.

The sauna is consistently mentioned across the listing set, with more than 25 remarks explicitly using "sauna" and several describing it as part of the resort-style amenity package. The 16/20 MLS presence and broad agreement among agents provide very strong confirmation.

Storage is strongly confirmed across numerous independent listing remarks, well beyond the historical threshold: at least 15 of the 20 listings mention storage or a storage locker/space. Key remarks include "two storage units," "storage locker," "2 storage spaces," "storage comes with," and "unit comes with ... storage," indicating that storage is a recurring building or unit-associated feature rather than an isolated copy-paste error.

The remarks mention storage lockers, storage units, parking storage cabinets, and general assigned storage. No dedicated surfboard or board-storage facility is identified.

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.

Trash-chute availability is supported primarily by the current MLS amenity field, which marks TRACHU on 19 of 20 listings. No supplied public remarks explicitly mention a trash chute, but the near-universal checkbox pattern and prior high-confidence assessment strongly support retaining the feature.

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.

Whirlpool facilities are strongly confirmed across the remarks, with roughly 20 entries using terms such as "whirlpool spa," "Jacuzzi," "hot tub," "outdoor jacuzzi," "pool and spa," or "saltwater pool/spa." The repeated cross-listing evidence and 12/20 MLS presence support inclusion.

The pool is overwhelmingly confirmed across the listing set: numerous independent remarks explicitly mention a “heated saltwater lagoon-style pool,” “infinity-edge pool,” “heated swimming pool,” “saltwater swimming pool,” or simply “pool.” This aligns with the current MLS data showing pool-related amenities in all 20 of 20 listings, making the evidence strong and consistent across multiple agents rather than an isolated checkbox.

Heating is strongly confirmed across the listing set: at least 18 remarks explicitly use heated-pool language, including "heated saltwater lagoon-style pool," "heated swimming pool," "heated lagoon-style infinity pool," and "salt water-heated infinity pool." The 13/20 HEAPOO MLS entries align with repeated remarks from multiple agents, so this is not merely a copied checkbox; the building offers a heated pool.

Saltwater pool language appears repeatedly across the listings. The pool is described as heated, saltwater, lagoon-style, and/or infinity-style.

In-unit laundry is strongly confirmed across the building: 20 of 20 current listings include WASHER/DRYER in MLS inclusions, and at least 8 current remarks explicitly mention the feature. Key phrases include 'in-unit washer and dryer,' 'in-unit washer/dryer,' 'en-suite laundry,' and 'Washer and dryer in unit,' indicating support across multiple units and agents rather than a single isolated or likely erroneous checkbox.

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.

The listings consistently describe private in-unit laundry rather than a shared laundry facility. No references to coin laundry, laundry fees, quarters, or card-operated machines were found.

The remarks mention multiple in-unit or en-suite washer/dryer setups, such as “new washer dryer” and “in-unit washer and dryer.” No shared laundry facility on every floor is described.

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.

At least 16 of 20 listings identify assigned parking, with many independent remarks explicitly stating "two assigned parking stalls," "two dedicated parking spaces," or "four assigned parking spaces." The repeated confirmation across multiple listings and agents supports this as a strong building-level feature.

All 20 of 20 listings contain covered- or garage-related MLS indicators. Multiple remarks independently describe "two covered parking stalls," "secure garage," "covered garage," and "covered parking," providing overwhelming evidence that the building offers covered parking.

Many listings describe two to four parking stalls as assigned, dedicated, reserved, included, or covered. These descriptions do not establish deeded ownership, so deeded parking remains unconfirmed.

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.

The remarks were searched for parking fees, monthly charges, rental costs, and additional parking expenses. No parking fee or monthly parking charge was identified.

Guest parking is indicated in 14 of 20 current listings, with multiple remarks directly stating that guest parking is available, including "guest parking available for the building" and "ample guest parking." Although not mentioned in every listing, the repeated explicit confirmations support this as a building-level feature.

Secured-entry parking is supported by 11 of 20 MLS records and numerous explicit remarks describing gated or secure garages, including "two gated garage parking stalls" and "secure, covered garage." The evidence appears across multiple listing descriptions rather than relying only on a single copied statement, so this feature should be included.

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.

The remarks were searched for a parking waitlist, waiting list, or instructions to join a list. No parking waitlist information was found.

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.

The remarks repeatedly mention 24-hour security, concierge/front desk service, doormen, and secure or gated garages. None specifically identifies card or fob-based building access.

Security service is strongly validated across the building: at least 17 of 20 listings identify SECGUA, and many independent remarks explicitly mention '24-hour security,' '24/7 security,' or '24 hr security/Doorman.' The repeated confirmations across multiple listings and wording variations indicate a genuine building-wide amenity rather than a single copied checkbox.

The listings frequently refer to “24-hour security,” doormen, concierge services, and front desk personnel. These statements do not establish a distinct security patrol service.

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 is strongly supported across the building, with 18 of 20 listings showing ACCEN/CENAC in unit features and all 20 showing ACCEN in inclusions. Multiple remarks explicitly confirm the feature, including "central air conditioning" and "Central AC," so the evidence is consistent across listings and not merely an isolated copy-paste checkbox.

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.

Seventeen of 20 current listings identify CONCRE in the construction-materials field. No supplied public remarks explicitly quote “concrete construction” or “reinforced concrete,” but the consistent MLS designation across most listings strongly supports that The Watermark is a concrete-constructed building rather than an agent-specific error.

Five of 20 current listings identify DOUWAL in the MLS construction-materials data. No supplied remarks mention “double wall” or equivalent wording, but the feature has historically high confidence and remains supported by repeated MLS coding.

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.

None of the supplied remarks use the terms “masonry,” “stucco,” or “masonry and stucco.” Current MLS support is limited to 8 of 20 listings, without corroboration from multiple agents’ remarks, so the feature is not validated.

Zero listings mention “steel frame” or “steel frame construction” in the public remarks. STEFRA appears in only 7 of 20 current MLS records, while historical confidence was low, so the feature is omitted as insufficiently verified.

None of the supplied listings mention “concrete slab” or “solid concrete foundation.” The feature has limited current MLS support and no public-remark corroboration, so slab construction is not validated.

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.

Although the exact phrase “above ground construction” is not used, many independent remarks identify the property as a high-rise condominium and repeatedly reference high-floor residences. This strongly supports above-ground construction and is consistent with the prior high-confidence assessment.

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.

Several listings refer generally to rental investment potential or exploring rental opportunities. No listing explicitly confirms short-term rental permission, so STR allowance is not established.

The remarks describe resort-style amenities and an 'open-air hotel like lobby,' but do not mention a hotel rental pool, hotel management program, or participation in hotel operations. Because STR allowance is not confirmed, this prerequisite feature is false.

The remarks contain no statement that owners must participate in a hotel pool or rental program. Since STR allowance and hotel-pool participation are not established, mandatory participation is false.

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.

The remarks were searched for leasehold status, ground leases, lease expiration, renewal, and extension dates. No specific lease-expiry year was mentioned.

The remarks were searched for explicit references to VA approval, VA financing, or VA loans being accepted. None were found, so VA loan approval is not established.

I searched for terms including fully insured, full insurance, comprehensive building insurance, fully covered insurance, and walls-in coverage. None appeared in the remarks, so full HOA insurance coverage cannot be confirmed.

Fire sprinklers are indicated in 12 of 20 current MLS listings, consistent with the previously high-confidence building verification. No public remarks explicitly mention a sprinkler or fire-suppression system, but the repeated MLS designation across a majority of listings supports retaining this feature.

I searched for references to a fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE, fire-safety certification, life-safety compliance, or passed fire inspections. No such statements were found 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 strongly supported across 19 of 20 current listings. Repeated phrases include "panoramic ocean views," "Pacific Ocean," "sweeping ocean views," and "ocean views from every room," indicating consistent evidence from multiple listings rather than a single copied description.

Mountain views appear in 5 of 20 current listings. Explicit remarks include "mountain views," "lush mountains," and "Ocean, Ala Wai Harbor & mountain views," providing sufficient evidence that some building units offer mountain views.

Diamond Head views are explicitly mentioned in 4 of 20 listings. Multiple remarks describe panoramic or breathtaking Diamond Head views, confirming that this is a legitimate view option in the building.

City views are mentioned in 15 of 20 current listings, with repeated references to the Honolulu skyline, city lights, and urban views. The frequency and variety of descriptions across listings strongly confirm that the building offers city-view units.

Coastline views are mentioned in 11 of 20 current listings. Key phrases include "views of the coastline," "coastline panoramic seascapes," "taking in the coastline," and combined ocean, coastline, and sunset views, supporting this as a legitimate building-level offering.

Garden views or garden surroundings are mentioned in 9 of 20 listings, with phrases such as "lush tropical gardens," "landscaped grounds," "landscaped tropical garden," "beautiful garden area," and "garden view." The remarks confirm substantial landscaped common grounds and garden-facing units, making this a valid building feature.

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.

Marina or harbor views are mentioned in 17 of 20 current listings. Key phrases include "Ala Wai Yacht Harbor," "Ala Wai Boat Harbor," "marina views," "yacht harbor," and "Ala Moana Harbor," with broad confirmation across multiple agents and unit stacks.

Sunrise views are explicitly mentioned in 2 of 20 listings, including remarks about spectacular sunrises and breakfast at sunrise. Although less frequently advertised than other views, the direct references confirm that some units offer sunrise views.

Sunset views appear in 15 of 20 current listings. Examples include "vibrant sunsets," "spectacular sunsets," "golden sunsets," "sunset views from every room," and "awe-inspiring sunsets," providing strong repeated confirmation beyond generic checkbox data.

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.

The remarks describe ocean, marina, harbor, beach park, city, mountain, coastline, sunset, and garden views from residences. They do not state that fireworks can be viewed from a unit or 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.

Resident-manager service is marked in 10 of 20 current listings, and multiple remarks reference a "resident manager," "24 hour front desk resident services," concierge service, or a professional front desk team. The repeated descriptions across listings support this as a building-level service rather than an isolated or copied claim.

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.
