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 looked for explicit owner-occupancy percentages, along with phrases like 'majority owner occupied' or 'highly owner occupied.' The remarks do not provide any such detail, so owner occupancy is not determinable from the provided text.

I searched the public remarks for any mention of elevator counts or wording such as 'multiple elevators' and found none. Although the building is a 38-story high-rise, the remarks do not confirm how many elevators it has, so this remains unknown from the provided text.

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

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 inclusion appears highly likely across the building. The current MLS data is very strong at 18 of 20 listings checked for CABTV, and the public remarks do not show any sign of a recent change or exception.

Common-area electricity appears likely to be included in the maintenance fees. The MLS data is fairly strong at 11 of 20 listings with OTCOEX, and the building description repeatedly references common-area lighting/power-related amenity spaces without contradiction.

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 looks unlikely to be included in the maintenance fee. The strongest signal is that 12 of 20 listings have WTRHTR, which usually means the units have their own water heaters instead of receiving building-provided hot water.

Internet service appears to be included or at least provided in common areas. The current MLS data is solid at 14 of 20 listings with INTSER, and public remarks specifically mention "Wi-Fi in common areas," supporting that conclusion.

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 fees. Every current MLS listing checked the SEWER code (20 of 20), which is overwhelming evidence.

Water is almost certainly included in the maintenance fee. The MLS data is unanimous at 20 of 20 listings with WATER checked, making this one of the strongest features.

BBQ amenities are clearly established. Multiple listings reference "BBQ pavilions," "multiple barbecue spaces," "grills," and "barbecue areas," and the MLS shows BBQ in 20/20 listings, so this is very strong cross-listing evidence.

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.

This feature is strongly supported. Across many listings, agents describe the building with phrases like "fitness center," "gym," "exercise room," and "fitness pavilion," matching the MLS amenity data that shows EXEROO in all 20/20 listings.

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. Numerous remarks use the exact phrase "meeting room," while others mention community-style spaces such as a lounge or library/media room, matching the MLS data showing MEEROO in 15/20 listings.

Very strong evidence for patio/deck features: well over 15 listings mention phrases like "spacious lanai," "two spacious lanais," "open lanai," "covered lanai," and "recreation deck." The remarks are consistent across multiple agents and read like genuine feature descriptions rather than one-off copy-paste errors. Buyers looking for outdoor living space should consider this building to offer it.

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 is mixed: 8 of 20 MLS listings have PRIYAR checked, but the public remarks more often describe landscaped grounds, garden paths, and an on-site private park than explicit fenced or unit-specific yard space. A few listings mention "yard spaces" or a "private park," which suggests some form of outdoor green space exists, but the remarks do not clearly prove private yard access for units. This supports the feature at a moderate level rather than with high confidence.

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. The remarks repeatedly say "sauna," and the MLS amenity appears in 17/20 listings, making this a highly reliable feature.

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.

I searched for surfboard-specific storage terms, including combined bike-and-surf storage references. The remarks mention general storage lockers and storage space, but nothing specifically tied to surfboard storage.

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 appears to be a consistent building amenity based on the MLS data, which shows TRACHU in all 20/20 listings. The remarks do not discuss it directly, but the unanimous MLS checkbox makes this a high-confidence building 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/spa amenities are well supported. Across the listings, agents mention "whirlpool spa," "hot tub," "Jacuzzi," and "spa," which strongly corroborates the MLS amenity data.

The Watermark clearly has a shared swimming pool. Current remarks mention it in many listings, with phrases like 'heated saltwater lagoon-style pool,' 'heated pool,' 'saltwater swimming pool,' and 'infinity pool,' across multiple agents and stacks. The evidence is strong and consistent, not just a copy-paste checkbox.

The Watermark has a heated pool, and the evidence is repeated throughout the current remarks. At least a dozen listings explicitly reference a 'heated pool' or equivalent wording such as 'heated saltwater pool,' 'heated infinity pool,' and 'heated lagoon-style pool.' This is strong multi-listing confirmation from several different agents.

The public remarks repeatedly and directly identify the pool as salt water. This is strong, consistent evidence across multiple listings, so confidence is very high.

In-unit laundry is strongly supported for The Watermark. The current MLS data shows washer/dryer included in 20/20 listings, and several remarks explicitly say "washer and dryer in unit," "in-unit washer/dryer," "upgraded washer/dryer," and "en-suite laundry." This appears consistent across multiple listings and agents, so it should be treated as a reliable building feature.

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 looked for public-remarks references to paid laundry such as coin-op, card-operated machines, laundry fees, or quarters. The remarks do not describe any shared paid laundry amenity; instead, they mention in-unit laundry in some listings.

I searched the public remarks for language like "laundry on each floor," "laundry room on every floor," or other floor-specific community laundry references. The listings only mention in-unit washer/dryer or laundry room features, not shared laundry facilities 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 many current remarks and aligns with the historical MLS pattern. Multiple listings explicitly use phrases like "dedicated parking spaces," "reserved covered parking stalls," and "assigned parking stalls," suggesting this is a real building-level feature rather than copy-paste error.

Covered parking is fully supported by both MLS history and the public remarks. The listings consistently describe a garage or covered stalls, making this one of the most reliable features for The Watermark.

I searched for explicit ownership language like 'deeded parking,' 'owned stall,' or 'parking included in deed' and found none. The remarks consistently describe parking as assigned, reserved, dedicated, or covered, which supports parking availability but not deeded ownership.

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 looked for any separate parking rent, monthly charge, or additional parking cost and found none. The listings repeatedly note parking stalls are included, but they do not specify whether there is any fee.

Guest parking appears to be available at the building, though not every listing mentions it. At least one current remark explicitly says "ample guest parking," which supports the historical MLS pattern and suggests the feature is real rather than an MLS checkbox artifact.

Secured parking/entry is well supported by both MLS data and remarks. Multiple listings describe a "secure garage" or "secure gated" parking, and the repeated security references indicate this is a building-level feature with strong corroboration.

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 mentions of a parking waitlist or parking waiting list and found nothing. The remarks suggest parking is readily available with the units, so there is no evidence of a waitlist system.

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 card/fob access language such as "key card access," "fob entry," or "card reader." The listings mention 24/7 security, a secure garage, and concierge/front desk service, but nothing that explicitly indicates card-based building access.

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.

I looked for direct patrol references like "security patrol," "roving security," or "patrolled building." The remarks only reference 24-hour security and secure access, which is not the same as a 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 conditioning is strongly supported for The Watermark. At least 2 current remarks explicitly say "central air conditioning" / "Central AC," and the MLS data shows near-universal support across recent listings (18/20 unit_features, 20/20 inclusions). This appears to be a stable building feature, not 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 checked for CONCRE. The public remarks across many listings describe The Watermark as a premier high-rise condominium but do not explicitly restate construction type, so this appears to be stable MLS data rather than a copy-paste anomaly.

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.

I searched for short-term rental indicators such as 'STR permitted,' 'vacation rental allowed,' 'NUC,' 'TVU,' or hotel-style rental language and found none. The remarks mention rental potential in general, but nothing confirms short-term rentals are allowed in this building.

I looked for references to a hotel rental pool, hotel-managed program, or brand pool participation and found none. Because there is no evidence that short-term rentals are allowed, a hotel pool arrangement is also unsupported and treated as false.

I searched for language indicating a required hotel rental pool or mandatory participation and found nothing. There is also no evidence of any hotel pool program at all, so 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.

I looked for leasehold/ground lease phrases such as 'lease expires,' 'ground lease ends,' 'leasehold,' or any renewal year and found nothing. Since no specific lease expiry year appears in the remarks, the value remains unknown.

I searched the listings for explicit VA loan language and did not find any. The remarks focus on amenities, views, and parking, but do not state that VA financing is available, so this remains unconfirmed and is treated as false based on absence.

I searched the remarks for insurance-related wording that would indicate full HOA coverage or walls-in insurance. There were no references to full insurance, comprehensive building insurance, or similar language, so this cannot be confirmed from the listings.

Fire sprinklers appear to be a building-level feature for The Watermark, supported by MLS data with 10 of 20 listings currently checking FIRSPR and historically strong consistency. No public remarks explicitly mention sprinklers, but the MLS pattern suggests this is not a copy-paste anomaly. There is no contrary evidence indicating the feature was removed.

I reviewed the remarks for references to fire/life safety evaluation status, FLSE, fire safety certification, or passed fire inspection language. None of the listings include that type of compliance or inspection wording, so there is no evidence to confirm this feature.

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 a defining feature of The Watermark. Roughly 18 of 20 current MLS listings mention ocean views, with phrases like “breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean,” “unobstructed ocean views,” and “ocean-facing windows in every room.” This is strong, consistent across many agents and clearly not a one-off copy-paste error.

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 clearly available at The Watermark. Listings mention “Honolulu skyline,” “city lights,” “city skyline,” and “ocean, marina, and city views,” with many units combining city views with ocean and harbor views. The evidence is strong and recurrent 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 a major feature of the building. Remarks reference “Ala Wai Yacht Harbor,” “Ala Wai Canal,” “marina,” “boat harbor,” and “harbor views” in many different listings. This is one of the strongest recurring view features in the dataset.

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 a recurring and well-supported feature at The Watermark. Listings mention “vibrant sunsets,” “sunset dinners,” “golden sunsets,” and “breathtaking sunset views,” often alongside ocean or city views. The frequency and consistency make this a high-confidence feature.

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 direct statements that units or lanais can see fireworks, not merely being near fireworks locations. The remarks emphasize ocean, marina, sunset, and city views, but do not explicitly mention fireworks views.

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.

MLS checkbox data currently shows 13 of 20 listings with RESMAN and historical confidence was High. Numerous public remarks explicitly reference concierge/front desk and 24-hour security—phrases include "24/7 security," "concierge desk," and "professional and attentive front desk team"—showing consistent, multi-listing corroboration rather than an isolated copy/paste.

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.
