909 Kapiolani
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.

No analysis available
I searched for explicit owner-occupancy figures and descriptive phrases, but found none. A few remarks mention an original owner or that a unit was never rented, which applies to individual units rather than the building overall, so the building-level owner occupancy remains unconfirmed and is treated as false by absence.
Multiple remarks directly confirm the building has 3 elevators. This matches the current value and is supported by explicit listing language, so confidence is very high.
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.

Cable inclusion is not supported by the remarks: across the provided listings there are 0 explicit mentions of cable service, cable TV, or HOA cable coverage. With only 2 of 20 current listings showing CABTV, the evidence points to inconsistent MLS entry rather than a true building feature.
MLS data shows OTCOEX on 19 of 20 current listings indicating common area electricity is included in maintenance. Public remarks rarely, if ever, state this explicitly, suggesting agents may be copying MLS checkbox data, but the near-universal MLS evidence across multiple listings provides strong support that common electricity is included.

There is strong, repeated evidence against hot water being included: no current listings show HOTWAT and many explicitly include a water heater in the unit. Remarks repeatedly reference 'new water heater' or 'water heater,' which is a strong indicator that the building is not providing hot water through the maintenance fee.

Sewer inclusion appears to be a consistent building feature. The current MLS data shows 18 out of 20 listings with SEWER included, and nothing in the remarks contradicts that pattern.
Water inclusion is strongly supported at the building level. Current MLS data shows 18 of 20 listings with WATER included, which is consistent enough to treat as a building feature even though the public remarks rarely mention it explicitly.
Very strong multi-listing support for BBQ amenities. Remarks include phrases such as "BBQ areas," "bbq stations," "BBQ pavilions," "BBQ grills," and "several places to BBQ," indicating a shared building amenity rather than a unit-only feature.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Clear evidence: multiple remarks (at least 3–6) explicitly mention a "car wash" or "car wash station/area" as a building amenity. These mentions recur across different listings, supporting inclusion at high confidence.

Strong, repeated evidence across the remarks: multiple listings mention "fitness center," "gym," "exercise room," or "fitness facility." This appears consistently across different agents and is not just one copy-paste source, so the building clearly offers an exercise room/fitness center.
No analysis available
Moderately strong evidence: multiple listings explicitly mention a 'meeting room' or combined 'meeting/party room', present across several agent remarks and supported by MLS amenity listings.
Strong evidence that the building offers patios/decks: historical MLS data had 15/20 listings with PATDEC/COVPAT, and current remarks across the listings frequently mention private lanais or balconies and an amenity deck. Examples: remarks state a “private lanai,” “sliding glass balcony door,” and “amenity deck” with pool/BBQ; at least 12 listings explicitly reference a lanai/balcony or the amenity deck, indicating consistent confirmation across multiple agents rather than an isolated copy/paste error.

Moderate-to-strong evidence across the listings shows a shared recreation space is available. Multiple remarks reference "rec room," "recreation room," "amenities deck," and "open play areas," which supports a building-level recreation area amenity.
Strong evidence: roughly 12–15 remarks reference a recreation/party/meeting room (quotes include "party room", "rec room", "meeting room" and "large capacity rec room for hosting gatherings"). Mentions appear in many listings, supporting high confidence.
No evidence of an on-site restaurant: while many remarks highlight nearby dining, none of the public remarks describe an in-building 'restaurant'/'café' and historical commentary likewise notes absence of on-site dining. Agents consistently reference external dining options instead.
No analysis available
No supporting evidence: none of the provided public remarks (0/20) mention 'sauna', 'steam room', or similar. Given prior low historical confidence and the complete absence of any sauna references in multiple agent remarks, the sauna amenity is likely incorrect in MLS checkbox fields and is omitted.
Multiple listings explicitly mention storage lockers or rooms—at least 8 separate remark blocks reference storage (examples: 'storage unit (#S412)', 'two generously sized storage rooms', 'external storage locker', '44 sq ft storage included'). Evidence is consistent across different listings/agents and aligns with historical High confidence that the building offers storage units/lockers.
I searched for surfboard storage-related wording such as "surfboard storage," "board storage," or "surf storage." The listings mention general storage lockers/rooms, but nothing indicating dedicated surfboard storage.
No analysis available
Evidence is less frequent than for other amenities, but it is still explicit and consistent enough to support the feature. One listing directly mentions "trash shoot," which in MLS remarks is commonly used to mean trash chute, aligning with the strong historical prevalence in the building.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Strong and consistent support for whirlpool/hot tub access. Listings reference "jacuzzi," "hot tub," "spa," and explicit "whirlpool," often paired with the pool, which is clear evidence of a shared amenity.
Strong, consistent evidence that the building has a shared pool amenity. Multiple listings explicitly say "pool," "swimming pool," "lap pool," and "resort-style amenities," and several also mention related features like jacuzzi/spa/whirlpool. This appears to be broadly confirmed across many agents and is not just a copy-paste anomaly.
No analysis available
I searched for phrases like "salt water pool," "saltwater pool," and "saline pool." The remarks confirm a pool and jacuzzi/spa, but the water type is never specified.
Strong, consistent evidence supports in-unit laundry for this building. Multiple listings explicitly say 'in unit washer/dryer' or 'washer/dryer in unit,' and the current MLS data shows 20/20 listings including washer/dryer. This appears to be a real building/unit feature, not a copy-paste anomaly.
No analysis available
I looked for terms such as "coin laundry," "coin-op," "quarters," "card operated," and laundry fees. The remarks repeatedly mention in-unit washer/dryer instead, so there is no public evidence of paid community laundry.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like "laundry on each floor," "laundry room on every floor," and similar wording. The listings only mention in-unit washer/dryer, storage, and general amenities, with no evidence of community laundry locations on each floor.
No analysis available
Assigned parking is strongly supported across many listings, with numerous remarks explicitly stating "reserved parking stall," "assigned parking stalls," and "assigned tandem parking compact size." The pattern appears consistent across multiple agents and is reinforced by the high historical MLS checkbox frequency, so this is not likely a copy-paste error.
Covered parking is very well supported, with many listings describing "covered parking stall," "2 covered parking stalls," "gated garage covered parking," and parking stalls on specific floors. The evidence is consistent across listings and aligns with the high-confidence historical MLS data, indicating building-wide covered parking availability.
I looked for phrases like "deeded parking," "owned parking," and "parking included in deed." The listings consistently mention assigned or covered stalls, which suggests parking access, but there is no explicit deeded-parking language.
No analysis available
I searched for parking fee language, monthly parking costs, and rental charges for stalls. The remarks mention availability and ownership of stalls, but not any recurring parking fee.
Guest parking is clearly mentioned in many remarks, including "guest parking," "plenty of guest parking," "Lots of guest parking," and even a specific count of "ten guest parking spaces." The repeated references across multiple listings suggest this is a real building feature rather than agent filler, and it is supported by the historical MLS pattern.
Moderate evidence that parking/parking areas have secured entry: roughly 7/20 listings explicitly reference 'secured building access', '24-hr security', 'secured building', or 'gated garage covered parking'. The signal is present but not universal across listings and may reflect building-wide security rather than gated parking for every stall.
Clear evidence that some units use tandem parking: 8 of 20 MLS entries list TANDEM and multiple public remarks explicitly say 'tandem' or 'tandem parking stalls.' This indicates tandem configuration is available for certain units in the building.
No analysis available
I looked for "parking waitlist," "waiting list," and similar phrases. None were found, and the remarks point more toward assigned or occasionally rentable stalls rather than a formal waitlist system.
No analysis available
I looked for card/fob access wording such as "key card access," "fob entry," or "card reader." The public remarks reference secure access and keyed elevators, but that is not enough to confirm a card-based security system.
Evidence is strong and consistent across many listings, not just a single agent. At least a dozen remarks explicitly mention security-related services such as "24-hr security," "24 hour security," "security patrol," and "secured building," confirming this is a building-level feature. The historical MLS checkbox pattern (16 of 20 listings) aligns with the remarks, so the feature should remain true.
One listing specifically states "security patrol," and other remarks mention 24-hour security and secure building access. This is strong public evidence that the building has patrol service.

No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence supports split AC: 20/20 current MLS listings include ACSPL, and many public remarks explicitly say "split AC," "split A/C," "split AC units," or "split AC in each room." Several remarks are detailed and time-specific, including "brand-new split AC unit," "replaced 11/2024," and "newly replaced split A/C," which reinforces that this is a genuine, commonly offered feature in the building.
No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence that 909 Kapiolani is concrete construction. 17 of 20 recent MLS listings include CONCRE, and the remarks consistently describe a high-rise condo with floor-to-ceiling glass and full-service amenities, which fits the concrete classification. This appears to be repeated MLS data rather than a one-off agent note.
There is moderate MLS support for double-wall construction, with 12 of 20 listings marked DOUWAL. However, the public remarks never explicitly describe double-wall construction or similar wording, so the evidence is not as strong as for concrete. This may reflect copy/paste MLS data, but it is still enough to keep the feature flagged.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Moderate evidence for steel-frame construction: 11 of 20 MLS listings include 'STEFRA'. Public remarks contain no explicit mention of steel-frame; the prevalence across listings suggests some agents list it (could be accurate or copy/paste), so mark as present with moderate (implied) confidence.
Concrete slab foundation is not substantiated by the public remarks and appears in only 2 of 20 MLS entries. The low frequency suggests the checkbox may be inconsistent or copied, rather than reflecting a confirmed building-wide characteristic. This feature should not be considered verified from the available evidence.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Above-ground construction is not supported by the remarks and appears only in 2 of 20 MLS records. That is too little evidence to treat as a reliable building feature, especially given how often MLS checkboxes can be copied without verification. I would not rely on this feature for the building.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for short-term rental indicators such as "STR permitted," "legal short-term rental," "TVU," and hotel-rental language. There is no public remark evidence that short-term rentals are allowed in this building, so this remains false by absence of support.
I looked for hotel pool references like "hotel rental pool," "managed by hotel," and brand-specific rental programs. None were found, and because STR is not supported by the remarks, hotel-pool participation is also false.
I searched for language indicating a required rental program or mandatory hotel pool participation. There were no such remarks, and with no evidence that STR/hotel pooling exists here, this feature is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for leasehold/ground-lease language such as "lease expires," "land lease," "leasehold," and specific expiry years, but found nothing in the public remarks. There is no evidence to infer a lease expiry year from these listings.
The remarks directly confirm VA financing approval for the building. I found one explicit mention of VA approval and no conflicting statements, so this is high confidence.
The remarks repeatedly and explicitly describe the building as fully insured, including walls-in style wording like 100% hurricane insurance. This is strong direct evidence, so confidence is very high.
Strong multi-listing evidence: fire sprinklers are explicitly mentioned across many unit public remarks (e.g., 'fire sprinklers', 'sprinklered', 'fire sparklers' typo) and the MLS amenities historically and currently show the FIRSPR checkbox for most listings (15–16 of ~20). Mentions come from multiple agents/listings and consistently describe the building as fire sprinklered, so evidence is robust.
I searched for explicit phrases like fire/life safety evaluation passed, FLSE passed, fire safety certified, and passed fire inspection, but found none. The listings do mention fire sprinklers and similar wording, which is not the same as an FLSE pass, so this remains unconfirmed and is treated as false by absence.
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 clearly an established building feature. Roughly 12 of 20 current listings reference ocean views, and the remarks consistently describe them in multiple unit types and by multiple agents with phrases like "ocean and city views," "breathtaking panoramic ocean," and "unobstructed ocean." This is strong, repeated evidence rather than a one-off copy-paste claim.
Multiple listings’ public remarks explicitly describe mountain or mauka views — examples include "unobstructed panoramic mountain views", "Mauka City and Mauka views", and "mountain views from Punchbowl to Manoa". At least ~15 separate remark sections in the provided data mention mountain/mauka views, appearing across different agent write-ups rather than a single copy/paste. Evidence is strong and consistent with the building historically listed as having mountain views.
No analysis available
City views are widely advertised throughout the building. About 18 of 20 current listings reference city or cityscape views, and the remarks repeatedly confirm them with wording such as "breathtaking city views," "city and mountain views," and "luxury city living." The evidence is broad and consistent across many listings, suggesting a real building-level feature.
No listings in the provided remarks mention 'coastline', 'shoreline', or 'coastal' views and MLS view_descriptions list 0/20 for coastline. There is no evidence that the building offers a distinct coastline/shoreline view category, so this feature is marked false.

Sunset views are called out in several listings (about 5 of 20), with explicit phrases like "evening sunsets" and "sit on your lanai and enjoy the sunset." While not as ubiquitous as ocean or city views, multiple agent remarks explicitly advertise sunset or lanai-sunset enjoyment, supporting that some units offer sunset exposure.
No analysis available
I searched for direct wording like "watch fireworks from the lanai" or "fireworks view from unit." The remarks mention ocean, city, mountain, and Blaisdell/event proximity, but nothing showing fireworks are visible from the building.
No analysis available
Evidence supports that the building has an on-site resident manager. Historical MLS data listed RESMAN in roughly 16 of 20 listings, and current public remarks explicitly mention 'resident manager' once and describe a 'friendly residence office staff' in another listing. The repeated MLS pattern suggests this is a building-level amenity rather than a one-off agent error.
