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.

There are no statements or percentages in the public remarks regarding owner-occupancy. Because no numeric owner-occupancy value exists in the current data and no remarks provide evidence, the field remains unknown (null) with low confidence.
Multiple listings explicitly state the building has three keyed elevators (e.g., "3 keyed elevators"). This directly confirms the current value of 3 elevators with high confidence.
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.

17 of 20 current listings have OTCOEX checked in association_fee_includes, suggesting common area electricity is included. One listing remark explicitly notes "electric is invoiced separately on monthly statement," which may indicate agent inconsistency or a unit-specific billing nuance, so evidence is strong across agent checkboxes but not fully corroborated in remarks.

No listings checked HOTWAT (0/20) while 17/20 include WTRHTR in inclusions, and public remarks repeatedly mention "new water heater" or "water heater" for units. Multiple agents consistently reference water heaters (suggesting in-unit heaters), and there's strong cross-listing evidence rather than a single agent copy/paste; therefore building maintenance does not include hot water.
No analysis available
No analysis available
18 of 20 current listings have SEWER checked in association_fee_includes, and no listing remarks contradict sewer being part of HOA fees, so evidence is strong and consistent across multiple agent entries.
18 of 20 listings have WATER checked in association_fee_includes and there are no remarks indicating separate water billing, so multiple agent entries consistently indicate water is included in the HOA fees.
Very strong evidence the building provides BBQ/grilling facilities: many listings mention 'BBQ stations', 'BBQ area', 'BBQ grills' or 'BBQ pavilions' (e.g., 'BBQ stations, fitness center' and 'entertain at the BBQ pavilions'). The high frequency across listings and MLS checkbox support inclusion.

No analysis available
Current MLS data lists car wash facilities in 18/20 listings and the remarks repeatedly mention 'car wash area' or 'car wash station' (e.g., 'car wash station', 'car wash area'), showing consistent multi-agent confirmation.

Strong, consistent evidence across listings that the building offers an exercise/fitness room: multiple remarks explicitly state 'fitness center', 'gym', or 'exercise room' (e.g., 'fully equipped fitness center', 'exercise facility'). This aligns with the current MLS data (17/20) and appears across different agent remarks rather than isolated copy/paste.
No analysis available
Current MLS data includes meeting-room amenities in 14/20 listings and the remarks reference 'meeting room' or combined 'meeting and party room' (e.g., 'meeting room, exercise room, whirlpool'), supporting that a meeting/conference-style room is part of the building amenities.
Strong evidence that the building offers patios/decks: at least 15 listings explicitly mention a lanai or private lanai (quotes include 'private lanai', 'large open lanai', and 'spacious lanai'). This matches prior MLS checkbox data (15/20) and appears consistently across multiple agents' remarks rather than being a single copy/paste instance, supporting a high-confidence inclusion.

Good evidence for a broader recreation/amenity area: several remarks describe an 'amenities deck', 'amenity deck', or 'open play areas' (e.g., 'Amenities deck has a swimming pool with spa, BBQ, party room, open play areas'). This corroborates MLS entries and appears across multiple listings.
Multiple listings reference a shared recreation/party room or meeting/party room (e.g., 'private room for parties', 'party room', 'recreation room'), consistent with MLS data (14/20). Evidence is widespread across agent remarks, so include the recreation room.
While the building is repeatedly described as being close to many restaurants and Ward Village dining, none of the agents’ amenity lists include an on-site restaurant or café. Given how prominently agents highlight amenities like the pool, gym, and BBQ, the consistent omission of any in-building dining strongly indicates that 909 Kapiolani does not offer a resident restaurant.

Multiple listings explicitly advertise building or unit storage: at least 8–10 public remarks reference storage rooms/lockers (examples: “two generously sized storage rooms,” “storage unit (#S412),” “Large size store room (S205),” and “44 SQ FT STORAGE INCLUDED”). MLS checkbox data also shows storage in some listings (5/20 amenities, 3/20 unit_features). The repeated, specific mentions across different listings indicate building-level storage is available, and the evidence is strong across multiple agents rather than a single copy/paste entry.
Searched for explicit surfboard/board storage language. Although the listings reference storage units/lockers and storage rooms, there is no specific mention of facilities for surfboard storage. Marked false with low-medium confidence due to lack of direct evidence.
No analysis available
Strong evidence the building has a trash chute/refuse chute: MLS data shows 19/20 and remarks include explicit mentions such as 'trash shoot' or 'trash chute' in several listings. This is consistent across agent remarks and high MLS coverage.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Clear evidence of a spa/hot tub on the amenity deck: numerous listings mention 'jacuzzi', 'hot tub', 'whirlpool' or 'spa' (e.g., 'swimming pool with spa', 'relax in the hot tub', 'lap pool, jacuzzi'). Consistent across different agent remarks and MLS data.
Strong consistent evidence that the building has a pool: historical MLS checkbox data showed 20/20 listings with POOL checked and the public remarks repeatedly reference pool amenities (quotes include "sparkling pool," "lap pool," and "swimming pool with spa"). Mentions appear across multiple listings/agents rather than being isolated, indicating the pool is a confirmed building amenity.
No analysis available
Searched the remarks for indications the pool is salt water. Listings describe a pool, lap pool, jacuzzi/whirlpool but never specify salt water. With no evidence in the remarks, this is marked false with low-medium confidence.
Strong and consistent evidence that some units have in‑unit laundry: current remarks across the building repeatedly state phrases such as "in unit washer/dryer", "in-unit washer/dryer", and "washer/dryer". This feature appears in listings from multiple agents and is reflected in the MLS inclusions (20/20), indicating building-level availability of in-unit laundry for some units.
No analysis available
Searched for terms indicating paid community laundry (coin-op, card-operated, quarters, paid laundry). Remarks consistently reference in-unit washer/dryer and do not mention any paid community laundry. Therefore marked false with low-medium confidence.
Searched the public remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry'. The listings repeatedly reference in-unit washer/dryer and storage but contain no mention of community laundry on every floor. With no evidence in the remarks, this feature is marked false with low-medium confidence.
No analysis available
High confidence that the building offers assigned parking: 17 of 20 current MLS records list ASSIGN and multiple remarks explicitly state 'assigned parking' or '2 assigned parking stalls.' Evidence is consistent across many listings and agents, not limited to a single listing or obvious copy/paste error.
Very strong, building‑wide covered parking: 20 of 20 MLS entries indicate covered/garage stalls and many remarks mention 'full-size, covered parking stall' or '2 covered parking stalls.' The coverage is consistent across listings and agents.
Listings repeatedly mention assigned, reserved, or covered parking stalls and that extra stalls may be purchased or rented, but none explicitly say parking is deeded or included in the deed. Absence of explicit 'deeded' language leads to a low-confidence false.
No analysis available
I looked for explicit monthly parking fee amounts (e.g., '$75/month parking', 'monthly parking charge') but found no numeric parking fee references. The presence of rentable stalls is noted, but no fee amounts are provided, so the parking fee is unknown.
Multiple independent listings highlight on‑site guest parking, including a specific count of ten guest stalls. This consistent mention across agents, plus most MLS records marking guest parking, confirms that guest/visitor parking is available in the building.
Moderate-to-high evidence that parking has secured entry: 6 of 20 MLS records flag SECENT and numerous remarks reference 'secure building access,' '24-hour security,' and 'gated garage' or 'gated garage covered parking (tandem).' Evidence appears in multiple listings rather than a single outlier.
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
The remarks discuss assigned stalls, guest parking, and availability to rent or purchase extra stalls, but do not mention any waitlist system. In absence of any mention, I set this to false with low confidence.
No analysis available
Reviewed public remarks for explicit electronic/card access language. While the building is repeatedly described as secure and references 'keyed elevators' and 'secure building access', there is no explicit statement about card/fob access. Therefore marked false with low-medium confidence based on absence of direct mention.
Strong evidence the building provides on-site security: historical MLS data had SECGUA checked in 16 of 20 listings and multiple current remarks explicitly state '24-hr security', '24-hour security', or 'security patrol'. At least a dozen separate remarks reference building security or 24-hour protection, and the language is consistent across different agents, supporting a high-confidence inclusion of this feature.
Public remarks explicitly reference security patrol and 24-hour security in multiple listings. Given these direct mentions across listings, security patrol is marked true with high confidence.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Strong evidence across the dataset that units in this building have split (ductless) A/C: approximately 19 of 20 listings included ACSPL and many remarks explicitly state 'split A/C', 'split Acs', '3 split AC units', or 'newly replaced split A/C (11/2024)'. Mentions appear across multiple listings and agents, not isolated to a single ad, indicating the feature is widespread in the building.
No analysis available
Strong MLS evidence supports that 909 Kapiolani is a concrete building: 16 of 20 current listings list 'CONCRE' in construction materials (previously 17/20). Public remarks across listings do not explicitly mention construction type, but the consistency of the MLS construction checkbox across many agents provides high confidence that the building is concrete rather than relying on occasional agent remarks.

I searched for explicit STR-permitting language (e.g., 'short-term rental allowed', 'vacation rental', 'TVU', '30-day minimum' exceptions) and found none. Because the remarks are silent on STR permission, the feature is set false with medium confidence (absence of mention suggests STRs are likely not permitted).
Public remarks include no references to any hotel rental pool or hotel-managed rental program. Given there is no evidence STRs are allowed, hotel pool participation is set to false with high confidence.
There are no remarks indicating any mandatory participation in a hotel rental program; several listings note owner use and do not reference required enrollment. Because STRs/hotel pool participation are not supported by the remarks, mandatory pool is false with high confidence.

I searched the remarks for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease to', 'leasehold', and specific years (e.g., 20XX) but found none. Without any explicit leasehold language or a year, the lease expiry is unknown.
Multiple listings explicitly include the phrase "VA approved building," indicating VA financing is accepted for the building. This is a direct statement in the public remarks, so confidence is high.
Multiple listings explicitly indicate comprehensive/master policy coverage (phrases such as "100% insured", "100% insured for hurricanes"), which supports that the HOA carries walls-in/full building insurance. This yields a high-confidence true.
Strong evidence: 15 of 20 current listings list FIRSPR and numerous remarks explicitly mention sprinklers, including phrases like "fire sprinklered for your peace of mind" and "fire sprinkler" across multiple listings. Multiple agents reference the feature (and one listing notes full building insurance alongside sprinklers), indicating the building is fire-sprinklered and the evidence is consistent and building-wide.
Remarks reference fire sprinklers/sprinklered units but do not state that the building passed a Fire/Life Safety Evaluation (FLSE) or passed a fire inspection. Because there is no explicit FLSE statement in any public remarks, the feature is set to false with medium confidence (absence of mention suggests no verified FLSE pass).
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
At least 8 listings in the provided remarks explicitly mention ocean or panoramic ocean views (e.g., 'breathtaking panoramic ocean and mountain views', 'stunning ocean views', 'best value ocean view'). Multiple agents independently reference ocean-facing aspects of units, indicating the building offers ocean-view units even if the MLS checkbox count is low.
Numerous listings explicitly describe mountain or mauka views (examples: 'unobstructed mountain views', 'panoramic mountain views', 'Koolau/mauka views'), matching historical high-confidence data and confirming the building offers mountain-view units.
No analysis available
Many listings (numerous remarks) explicitly mention city or cityscape views (e.g., 'breathtaking city and mountain views', 'cityscape views', 'beautiful city views from the lanai'), indicating the building offers units with city views and confirming historical data.
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.

Multiple listings explicitly mention sunset views or enjoying sunsets from the lanai (phrases include 'evening sunsets' and 'enjoy the sunset'), indicating some units have western exposure/sunset views and would be relevant to buyers seeking that feature.
No analysis available
Reviewed remarks for explicit statements such as 'fireworks view', 'watch fireworks from lanai', or 'see fireworks from unit'. Listings reference proximity to the Blaisdell Arena and events but do not state fireworks are visible from the building or units. Marked false due to no direct mention.
No analysis available
Good evidence: 15 of 20 current listings include RESMAN and multiple remarks explicitly state "resident manager" or reference a "residence office staff" on-site. While not every remark mentions it, confirmations across different listings and agents indicate a resident/on-site manager is present at the building.
