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.

I searched for numeric owner-occupancy percentages and phrases such as "majority owner occupied" and "highly owner occupied." None were present, so the owner-occupancy rate remains unknown.

The remarks repeatedly mention units being near or close to an elevator, but they do not state the building's total elevator count. Because no numeric evidence is provided, the number of elevators remains unknown.

Central air conditioning is mentioned directly in several public remarks, including phrases like "central air conditioning" and "Central AC." Although the MLS checkbox frequency is low at 5/20, the explicit repeated mentions suggest some units in the building do have central AC.

Cable TV appears to be included at the building level. The current MLS data is extremely strong at 19 of 20 listings with CABTV, and the public remarks are consistent with a copy-paste building profile rather than contradicting it.

Common-area electricity is likely included, though the public remarks do not spell it out directly. The MLS data shows OTCOEX in 12 of 20 listings, which is a meaningful building-level signal, and the repeated amenity descriptions suggest the standard association-fee checklist is being used consistently.

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 does not appear to be included in the maintenance fee. The strongest current signal is the prevalence of WTRHTR (13 of 20 listings), which typically conflicts with building-provided hot water, while only 7 of 20 listings show HOTWAT.

Internet service is supported by both MLS data and the remarks. Several listings explicitly say 'Wi-Fi in common areas,' and the MLS currently shows INTSER in 15 of 20 listings, making this a strong building-level inclusion.

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 almost certainly included in the association fee. Every current MLS listing checked includes SEWER (20 of 20), making this one of the strongest possible building-level indicators.

Water is almost certainly included in the maintenance fee. The MLS data is unanimous at 20 of 20 listings with WATER, so this is effectively confirmed at the building level.

BBQ amenities are clearly established. The feature appears in 20/20 MLS listings, and the public remarks consistently mention "BBQ pavilions," "multiple barbecue areas," and similar phrasing, indicating strong building-level support.

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.

Concierge service is well supported by the remarks and MLS data. Several listings mention "concierge service," "concierge desk," "front desk service," "front desk staff," and "Concierge Front Desk," which aligns with the current MLS data showing 8/20 listings checked for CONCIE. The repeated wording across multiple listings suggests a real building amenity rather than an agent error.

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.

Exercise room is very strongly supported. It appears in the MLS amenities for 20/20 listings, and the remarks repeatedly describe a "fitness center," "gym," or "exercise room," which is consistent across many agents rather than a one-off mention.

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.

Meeting room evidence is strong and consistent. About 16 of 20 listings include the amenity, and several remarks explicitly say "meeting room" or "library meeting room," supporting this as a real shared building feature.

Very strong evidence supports patio/deck amenities at The Watermark. Across many listings, agents consistently mention lanais/covered lanais and outdoor living spaces, which appears to be repeatable rather than a one-off copy-paste. The remarks strongly reinforce the prior high-confidence MLS signal.

Multiple listings (several agent remarks) explicitly mention 'walking paths' or 'walking/jogging paths' and describe tropically landscaped grounds suitable for strolling or jogging. MLS checkbox usage and repeated remarks provide strong evidence the building offers walking/jogging paths.

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.

Evidence for private yard space is moderate rather than definitive. About 8 of 20 listings had PRIYAR checked, and multiple remarks reference landscaped grounds, yard spaces, and a private park, but the language is more about shared garden/grounds than clearly private fenced yards. This suggests the building likely offers yard-style outdoor areas, though the feature is less explicit than patio/deck.

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.

The building clearly offers shared recreation areas. Listings mention a "recreation deck," "large ground floor gardens," "acre of open space," cabanas, walking paths, and a "common area oasis," which aligns well with the MLS amenity data.

There is no convincing evidence of a dedicated recreation room. Remarks consistently mention other shared spaces such as a meeting room, lounge, library/media room, or recreation deck, but not a true rec room or game room, so this is best treated as absent.

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.

Sauna is one of the clearest building features. It appears in 18 of 20 MLS listings, and the remarks repeatedly confirm it with direct language such as "sauna," "dry sauna," and related spa amenity descriptions.

Storage appears to be a real, recurring building feature at The Watermark. Current remarks mention it in many independent listings, often as "storage," "storage locker," or "2 storage spaces," which aligns with the historical MLS pattern of frequent storage references in both amenities and unit features. The consistency across multiple agent remarks suggests this is not just copy-paste noise.

The remarks mention storage lockers and general storage associated with units or parking. They do not identify dedicated surfboard or board 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.

Trash chute is strongly supported by the MLS data alone. All 20 of 20 listings include TRACHU, making this a highly consistent building amenity despite the lack of remark-level mentions.

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/spa is well supported. Roughly 15 of 20 listings include the amenity, and the remarks repeatedly use terms like "whirlpool spa," "hot tub," and "Jacuzzi," which is strong evidence for a shared amenity.

The Watermark clearly has a building-level swimming pool. Across the provided remarks, roughly 20+ listings mention it in some form, including "heated saltwater pool," "lagoon-style infinity pool," and "pool & hot tub/spa," which strongly confirms a shared amenity rather than a unit-specific feature.

The pool is explicitly described as heated in many listings, with repeated wording such as "heated saltwater pool," "heated infinity pool," and "salt water-heated pool & hot tub." This appears consistently across multiple remarks and agents, so the heated-pool feature is strongly supported.

Saltwater pool language appears repeatedly across the public remarks and is consistent with the building amenities. This is strong direct evidence that the pool is salt water.

In-unit laundry is strongly supported for The Watermark. The current remarks explicitly mention it in multiple listings, with phrases such as "in-unit washer/dryer," "washer dryer," "upgraded washer/dryer," and "en-suite laundry." This matches the historical MLS data showing washer/dryer included in 20/20 listings, so the evidence is consistent and high confidence.

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 remarks do not identify any paid community laundry service. References to laundry are limited to in-unit washers and dryers.

The remarks mention in-unit washers and dryers in some listings but do not describe community laundry facilities. No evidence supports laundry availability on every floor.

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.

Assigned/reserved parking is strongly confirmed across the building. Multiple listings explicitly say 'assigned parking stalls,' 'reserved covered parking stalls,' 'two dedicated parking spaces,' and 'dedicated parking spaces,' which is consistent with the historical MLS pattern rather than a one-off agent checkbox.

Covered parking is fully supported by both historical MLS data and current public remarks. Nearly every listing references covered stalls or a garage, including phrases like 'two covered parking stalls,' 'secure garage,' and 'covered parking in private parking structure,' making this a very strong building-level feature.

Multiple listings confirm that units typically include two or more reserved, assigned, dedicated, or covered parking stalls. However, no listing explicitly says the parking is deeded or owned with the unit, so deeded status is not established.

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 costs. None were found; although parking is repeatedly described as included or assigned, no specific fee amount is provided.

Guest parking appears to be available at the building. While not every listing mentions it, the current remarks include explicit 'ample guest parking' language, and the MLS pattern shows it often enough to support inclusion for buyers searching for visitor parking.

Secured parking/entry is well supported across remarks and historical MLS data. Multiple listings describe a 'secure garage' or 'secure gated' parking, with security-related language appearing repeatedly, so this is not just a copy-paste checkbox with no textual support.

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 references to a parking waitlist or waiting list. None were found, while the listings instead describe assigned, reserved, dedicated, or included parking.

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 service, secured garages, and a gated residence. They do not specify a card- or fob-based access system.

Security guard service is strongly supported across the listings. Multiple remarks explicitly reference "24/7 security," "24 hour security," "on-site 24-hour security," and "24-hr security," and the current MLS data shows 18/20 listings checked for SECGUA. This appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste.

The building clearly advertises continuous security presence or coverage, but that wording does not establish a patrol service under the feature definition. No direct patrol evidence was found.

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 for The Watermark. Current public remarks explicitly mention "central air conditioning" / "Central AC" in at least 2 listings, and this aligns with the historical high-confidence MLS data showing ACCEN/CENAC in most unit features and ACCEN in all inclusions. The repeated references across different remarks look like consistent building-level HVAC support rather than a copy-paste anomaly.

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.

Concrete construction is strongly supported by the MLS history, with 16 of 20 current listings showing CONCRE in construction_materials. None of the public remarks explicitly mention a different construction type or any renovation/rebuild that would change the building material, so the historical MLS signal remains the best evidence. This appears to be a stable building-level attribute rather than copy-paste noise.

Double wall construction is only present in 4 of 20 current MLS entries, while the historical summary indicates it was never previously checked. No public remarks mention double-wall construction, so this looks more like inconsistent MLS checkbox data than a verified building feature.

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.

Eight of 20 current listings identify masonry/stucco construction, and historical records also point to this as a building material. The remarks are largely focused on views, amenities, and interiors, so the support here is mainly from MLS material fields rather than narrative descriptions. Overall, this looks like a plausible building-level construction feature.

Steel frame construction appears in a minority of current MLS records (5 of 20), but none of the public remarks explicitly mention steel framing. This looks like weak-to-moderate MLS evidence without remark confirmation, so it should be treated cautiously.

Four of 20 current listings identify slab construction, and historical records previously supported a concrete slab foundation. The public remarks do not directly mention the foundation, so this is driven mostly by MLS material coding rather than descriptive text. The evidence supports inclusion, though not as strongly as the above-ground feature.

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.

Six of 20 current listings mark above-ground construction, and the building context strongly fits a tower-style, above-grade condominium. Public remarks repeatedly emphasize high-floor units, elevated ocean and city views, and secure garage access, which align with an above-ground building. The evidence is consistent enough to keep this feature with high confidence.

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.

The remarks mention “rental investment” and “explore rental opportunities,” but do not explicitly state that short-term rentals, vacation rentals, STRs, NUCs, or TVUs are permitted. No explicit prohibition was found either, so based solely on the remarks there is insufficient evidence to treat STR as allowed.

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

The remarks contain no statements that owners must participate in a hotel rental pool or cannot opt out of a rental program. Because STR permission is not established, mandatory hotel-pool 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, ground lease, lease expiration, renewal, and specific expiry years. No such information was found, so the lease expiry year is unknown.

The remarks were searched for explicit terms such as “VA approved,” “VA financing,” and “VA loans accepted.” None were found, so there is no public-remarks evidence that the building is VA approved.

I searched for fully insured, full insurance, comprehensive building insurance, fully covered insurance, and walls-in coverage. The remarks contain no insurance or walls-in coverage statements, so full HOA insurance cannot be confirmed.

Fire sprinklers appear to be a real building-level feature at The Watermark based on MLS checkbox data (11 of 20 listings currently marked FIRSPR). The public remarks do not explicitly say “fire sprinklers,” but there is no contrary evidence and the historical confidence was high, so this remains a strong building amenity.

I searched for fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE, fire safety certification, life safety compliance, and passed fire inspection language. None of these references appear in the public remarks, so there is no evidence confirming that the evaluation was passed.

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 at The Watermark. Multiple listings explicitly mention “Pacific Ocean,” “ocean view,” “ocean-facing windows,” and “unobstructed ocean views,” and the historical MLS data shows 18/20 listings with OCEAN and none with NONE. This looks like a genuine building-level feature, not a one-off agent claim.

Mountain views are present in a meaningful share of the listings. Current remarks include direct references such as “mountain views,” “ocean, sunset, and mountain views,” and “ocean, city, and mountains.” The evidence is consistent enough to confirm this as an available building-level view feature.

Diamond Head views are explicitly marketed in multiple remarks, including “breathtaking panoramic views of Diamond Head” and similar phrasing. While less common than ocean or marina views, the direct mentions are clear and consistent enough to include. This appears to be a real but minority view option in the building.

City views are well supported across the listing remarks. Phrases like “Honolulu skyline,” “city lights,” “cityscape,” and “city views” appear repeatedly, and the historical MLS data shows CITY in 15/20 listings with no NONE entries. Evidence is strong and consistent across multiple agents.

Coastline views are directly mentioned in multiple remarks, including “ocean & coastline panoramic seascapes” and similar scenic descriptions. This feature appears less common than ocean or marina views, but it is clearly present in the building. The evidence is strong enough to confirm it.

Garden views and landscaped grounds are well supported. Many listings describe “lush tropical gardens,” “beautiful garden area,” “courtyard,” and “tropical landscaping,” including some units with explicit garden-view language. Although not as universal as ocean views, the feature appears consistently available in the building.

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/harbor views are clearly a defining feature of the building. Listings mention “Ala Wai Yacht Harbor,” “Ala Wai Canal,” “Ala Wai Boat Harbor,” “marina,” and “harbor” across many remarks, which matches the historical MLS data showing 16/20 listings with marina-related views and no NONE values. The consistency suggests this is not copy-paste error.

Sunrise views are explicitly confirmed in the remarks, including phrases like “spectacular sunrises” and “enjoy breakfast at sunrise.” Although not as frequently marketed as ocean or sunset, the direct mentions are unambiguous. This supports sunrise as an available building-level view feature.

Sunset views are strongly and repeatedly supported at The Watermark. Multiple listings say “vibrant sunsets,” “sunset views,” “sunset wine,” “golden sunsets,” and similar phrases, while the historical MLS data shows SUNSET in 13/20 listings and no NONE entries. This appears to be a real and recurring feature of the building.

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 listings repeatedly describe ocean, marina, sunset, city, and coastline views from units and lanais. They do not specifically state that Friday night fireworks are visible from the residences.

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 appears to be a building-level amenity supported by MLS data (13 of 20 listings currently marked RESMAN). The remarks do not explicitly use the exact phrase “resident manager,” but multiple listings describe concierge/front desk service, 24-hour security, and top-tier building maintenance, which aligns with on-site management. There is no evidence suggesting this feature has been removed.

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.
