The Watermark
Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.
If this building is important to your search, you can help prioritize it for a full audit by requesting one below. To see what a complete report looks like, check out the example full report.
The Watermark
Building Overview
The Watermark in Waikiki (2008) — 38-floor concrete tower with ocean/sunset views, pool, fitness center, concierge and security.

About The Watermark
The Watermark is a 38-floor residential tower located in Waikiki, completed in 2008 and constructed of concrete. The building offers ocean and sunset views from many units and features central air conditioning.
Key on-site amenities reported include a pool, fitness center, BBQ area, resident manager, concierge service, and security guard. The building's amenity set is oriented toward full-time residential use rather than short-term stays.
According to available records, parking is available, covered, and assigned, with additional guest parking. Pets are allowed, and short-term rentals are not permitted. Management company information is listed as unknown in the MLS data. Based on MLS data, buyers should verify all building details, policies, and fees with the listing agent or management prior to purchase.
Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
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 reviewed the remarks for explicit owner-occupancy percentages or qualitative clues like 'majority owner occupied' or 'highly owner occupied.' No such information appears in the listings, so owner occupancy remains unknown from public remarks.
I searched the public remarks for explicit elevator counts or phrases like 'multiple elevators' / '4 elevators' and found nothing. Because no remarks address the elevator count, the number cannot be confirmed from this data.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
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.
MLS data indicates cable TV included in maintenance fees in 18/20 current listings. Public remarks do not call out cable service explicitly, suggesting agents may have relied on association data, but the overwhelmingly consistent MLS checkbox across many listings (multiple agents) provides strong evidence.
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.
Evidence indicates hot water is not included: 13/20 listings list individual water heaters (WTRHTR) and only 6/20 check HOTWAT, with no public-remarks confirming building-supplied hot water. High confidence that hot water is not part of the association fees.
Internet service appears to be included: 14/20 MLS listings list INTSER and numerous remarks explicitly mention 'Wi-Fi in common areas' or 'WiFi in common areas', indicating building-level internet/service for common spaces and supporting inclusion in maintenance fees.
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 very likely included in association fees: all 20 current MLS listings check SEWER, and there are no public-remark contradictions. Strong, building-wide evidence supports inclusion.
Water is very likely included in the maintenance fees: 20/20 current MLS listings indicate WATER in the fee-includes field. Remarks contain no contradiction, and the uniform MLS checkbox across listings provides strong evidence.
Very strong cross-listing corroboration: well over a dozen remarks reference BBQ/grilling facilities, often with the same amenity wording such as 'BBQ pavilions' or 'barbecue areas.' Because the MLS checkbox is also universally set, this appears to be a stable building feature rather than an agent error.
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.
Strong evidence across the listings: roughly 15+ remarks explicitly describe an exercise amenity, using phrases like 'gym,' 'fitness center,' 'exercise room,' 'fitness pavilion,' and 'open-air fitness center.' The current MLS checkbox is consistently present across all listings, so this feature is well corroborated and not just copy-paste noise.
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.
Clear corroboration from many listings: around a dozen remarks mention a 'meeting room' or very similar shared community space, and the MLS amenity is checked in most listings. The evidence is strong and consistent enough to support the feature as a building amenity.
Strong evidence across many listings: at least 15+ listings explicitly mention a lanai or outdoor living space (phrases include 'spacious lanai', '222 sq. ft. lanai', 'open lanai', and 'two large lanais'), and amenities repeatedly cite BBQ pavilions, recreation decks, and pool decks. The consistency and specificity (lanai sizes, repeated lanai wording) across multiple agent remarks and unit descriptions indicate the building offers patio/deck/lanai amenities.
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.
Mixed evidence: 8 of 20 MLS listings have the PRIYAR amenity checked, and historical data indicated high confidence, but none of the public remarks explicitly advertise a 'private yard' or 'fenced private yard' for individual units; instead they repeatedly describe shared features ('four acres of lush tropical gardens', 'tropically landscaped paths and yard spaces', 'private park' meaning common grounds). Given the MLS flags but lack of explicit private-yard language in remarks, the feature is included but with moderate 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.
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 listing remarks across agents (many instances) explicitly list 'sauna' as part of the resort-style amenities. Combined with consistent MLS checkbox data, evidence is strong that the building offers a shared sauna facility.
Storage is consistently referenced across listings and MLS fields: 12 of 20 current MLS entries list storage in building amenities and 8 of 20 list storage in unit features. Public remarks repeatedly state 'storage locker', 'storage comes with', and '2 storage spaces' in multiple separate listings, indicating building-level storage/lockers are available rather than being an isolated or copy-paste error.
I looked for surfboard storage, board storage, surf storage, or bike-and-surfboard storage references. The remarks mention general storage lockers and storage spaces, but nothing specific 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.
MLS amenity checkbox for trash/garbage chute is consistently set across listings, but none of the public remarks explicitly mention a 'trash chute' or 'garbage chute'. Given the persistent MLS entries and historical confidence, the building is listed as having a trash chute, though direct remark confirmation is absent.
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.
Strong support from many listings: multiple agent remarks explicitly reference 'hot tub', 'Jacuzzi', 'spa', 'outdoor Jacuzzi' or 'whirlpool' alongside the heated pool. The MLS checkbox and repeated explicit mentions indicate a shared whirlpool/hot tub amenity.
Strong, consistent evidence that The Watermark has a shared swimming pool. Multiple listings mention it across different agents and stacks, with phrases like 'heated swimming pool & spa,' 'saltwater swimming pool,' 'lagoon-style infinity pool,' and 'heated saltwater pool,' indicating this is a real building amenity rather than a copied checkbox only.
Multiple listings explicitly state the building's pool is heated, with phrases such as 'heated swimming pool & spa', 'heated saltwater pool', and 'heated lagoon-style infinity pool' appearing repeatedly. This consistent explicit language across different listings supports high confidence that the shared pool is heated.
There are many direct references to a saltwater pool throughout the remarks. This is consistent and explicit enough to confirm the pool is salt water.
In-unit laundry is strongly supported across the building: the current MLS data shows washer/dryer in the inclusions for all 20 listings, and numerous remarks explicitly mention it. Examples include "in-unit washer/dryer," "washer and dryer in unit," "washer dryer," and "en-suite laundry," indicating this is not just a copy-paste checkbox issue but a repeatedly confirmed unit 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 coin laundry, card-operated machines, quarters, laundry fees, or other paid community laundry references. The listings do not mention any paid laundry facilities, and several instead refer to in-unit washer/dryer.
I searched for references to laundry on every floor, floor-by-floor laundry rooms, or similar community laundry wording. The remarks only mention in-unit washer/dryer or general storage, so there is no public-remarks evidence that every floor has 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.
Strong, repeated evidence across many listings confirms assigned/reserved parking at the building. Multiple remarks explicitly use phrases such as "two reserved covered parking stalls," "two assigned parking stalls," "2 covered assigned parking," and "4 assigned parking spaces," suggesting this is not a one-off agent mistake. The consistency across different listings supports a building-level feature rather than unit-specific copy-paste.
Evidence is overwhelming that the building offers covered parking. All current MLS entries indicate covered/garage parking, and the public remarks repeatedly mention "covered parking," "secure, covered garage," "two covered parking stalls," and similar language. This is consistent across multiple agents and listings, so confidence is very high.
I found many references to parking being reserved, assigned, secured, covered, or included with the unit. However, none of the remarks explicitly say the parking is deeded or owned with the unit. That makes deeded parking unconfirmed from public remarks.
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 any monthly parking cost or separate parking rental mention and found none. The listings consistently describe parking as included, reserved, or assigned. There is no evidence of a separate parking fee in the remarks.
Moderate evidence: 12/20 MLS entries check GUEST and some remarks explicitly note 'guest parking' or 'ample guest parking'. While not as universally described as assigned/covered stalls, visitor parking is mentioned enough that buyers searching for guest parking should be alerted that the building offers guest/visitor parking.
Good evidence: 11/20 MLS listings list secured entry and several public remarks explicitly state 'secure garage' or 'secured parking stalls'. Combined with recurring references to 24/7 security and concierge, this supports that parking access is secured.
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 looked for "parking waitlist," "waiting list," or similar language and found no references. The remarks suggest parking is provided with the units rather than managed through a queue. Based on the available text, a waitlist system is not indicated.
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 looked for key card access, fob entry, card readers, keycard/security access, or electronic door access. The remarks mention 24/7 security, concierge, and a secure building, but not a card/fob access system.
Strong, consistent evidence that the building provides staffed on-site security: approximately 18 of 20 recent listings/remarks reference security (examples: 'Concierge desk and 24 hour security', '24/7 security', 'on site 24-hour security'). The language is repeated across many agent remarks (some appears copied), but the high historical checkbox rate plus explicit, repeated mentions from multiple listings indicates the building offers staffed security.
I searched for security patrol, roving security, patrol service, or patrolled building language. The remarks consistently mention 24-hour security and concierge/front desk service, but no patrol service is described.
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 well supported for The Watermark. Multiple listing remarks explicitly mention it, including "central air conditioning" and "Central AC," alongside the MLS pattern where 18 of 20 listings show ACCEN/CENAC and all 20 include ACCEN in inclusions. The evidence is strong across multiple listings and agents, and it aligns with the prior high-confidence MLS data.
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: 17 of 20 current listings include CONCRE. The public remarks do not directly mention construction materials, but the consistent high-rise condominium context aligns with the MLS data, so this appears to be a stable building feature rather than copy-paste noise.
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.
8 of 20 current MLS listings list MASSTU (masonry/stucco) and historical records supported masonry/stucco as a construction material. Public remarks make no explicit mention of masonry or stucco (they emphasize finishes and amenities), so inclusion is based on MLS checkbox consistency across several agents rather than explicit remark confirmation.
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 searched for explicit STR language such as "short-term rental allowed," "vacation rental," "TVU," or "NUC" and found none. Some listings mention a unit could be "explore rental opportunities," but that is not the same as confirming short-term rentals are allowed. On the public remarks alone, STR is not supported.
I looked for hotel pool language such as "hotel rental program," "hotel-managed," or brand pool references and found none. Since the remarks do not establish STR permission, hotel-pool participation is also not supported. The building appears to be a residential condominium in the public remarks.
I searched for statements like "mandatory hotel pool," "required to participate," or "cannot opt out" and found nothing. There is also no evidence in the remarks that the building has any hotel rental pool at all. Therefore mandatory pool participation is not supported.
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 like "lease expires," "ground lease ends," "leasehold," or a renewal year and found nothing. The remarks focus on unit features and building amenities, not land tenure details. Without an explicit year, this remains unknown.
I searched the remarks for explicit VA financing language and found none. The listings discuss amenities, views, and parking, but do not mention VA loan approval or acceptance. Based on the available public remarks, VA financing is not supported.
I searched for insurance language such as 'fully insured,' 'walls-in coverage,' or equivalent HOA coverage statements. The remarks do not mention building insurance status, so this cannot be confirmed as fully insured from the listings.
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.
I looked for any statement that the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE, fire inspection, or similar certification language. None of the remarks mention fire/life-safety compliance, so there is no evidence to mark this true.
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 this building. Roughly 18 of 20 current MLS listings mention ocean views, and public remarks repeatedly use phrases like "Pacific Ocean," "ocean views from every room," and "unobstructed ocean views." The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and reads like true building-level availability, not isolated copy-paste.
Mountain views are mentioned in several current remarks, including combinations like "ocean, city, and mountains" and "ocean, sunset, and mountain views." With 11 of 20 MLS listings showing mountain view language, this is credible building-level evidence even though it is less universal than ocean views.
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.
City views are clearly available in the building. Public remarks frequently mention "city skyline," "city lights," and "ocean, marina, and city views," matching the MLS pattern of 14 out of 20 listings referencing city views. The repeated phrasing across agents suggests this is a real and common feature.
Coastline views are less common than ocean views, but they are explicitly mentioned in multiple remarks. The strongest phrase is "ocean & coastline panoramic seascapes," and another listing states "ocean, coastline and city views." With 7 of 20 MLS listings reflecting coastline language, this is credible but not as universal as the other view types.
Garden views are well supported by the remarks, which often describe "lush tropical gardens," "beautiful garden area," and "garden view" from units or common areas. With 9 of 20 listings mentioning garden views, the evidence is moderate-to-strong and consistent with the building’s landscaped grounds.
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.
Strong, consistent evidence: 16 of 20 current MLS listings cite marina/harbor views and many remarks explicitly name features like "Ala Wai Boat Harbor," "Ala Moana Harbor," and "yacht harbor." Multiple independent listings mention marina views, supporting a building-level marina-view offering.
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.
Sunset views are a recurring theme in the public remarks, with phrases like "sunset views," "sunset dinners," "golden sunsets," and "breathtaking sunset views." Since 14 of 20 listings include sunset language, this appears to be a genuine and commonly marketed view 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.
I searched for explicit fireworks-view language such as watching Friday night fireworks from the unit, lanai, or building. The remarks discuss ocean, marina, sunset, and city views, but do not state a fireworks view.
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.
Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
