I searched for direct owner-occupancy evidence such as a percentage, "majority owner occupied," or "highly owner occupied" wording. The only related text mentions that some units are subject to income or owner-occupancy restrictions, which does not reveal the building's owner-occupancy rate.
I searched the public remarks for an explicit elevator count such as "4 elevators" or "multiple elevators" with a number, but none was provided. The plural reference does support that the building has more than one elevator, but it is not enough to assign a numeric value.
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 well supported across the building. Multiple remarks explicitly reference "internet and cable TV" or "Cable & Internet service," and the MLS shows CABTV in 13 of 20 listings. This looks like a real building-level fee item rather than a one-off agent entry.
Common-area electricity appears to be a standard building expense. The MLS pattern is very strong at 19 of 20 listings, and the remarks repeatedly describe shared amenity spaces, lounges, elevators/sky lanais, and building-managed facilities. This is consistent with a building-level common electricity charge.

Hot water does not appear to be included in the maintenance fee. The MLS shows HOTWAT in only 1 of 20 listings, while WTRHTR appears in 15 of 20, which is a strong sign that units have their own water heaters instead of building-provided hot water. The current remarks also do not describe hot water as an included fee item.
Internet inclusion is strongly supported at the building level. Multiple remarks explicitly mention bulk internet service, including a named provider reference to Spectrum, which matches the MLS pattern of 13 of 20 listings including internet.
No analysis available
Sewer is very likely included in the maintenance fee. The MLS evidence is highly consistent across listings, with 19 of 20 marked SEWER, and there are no remarks suggesting otherwise. This appears to be a stable building feature.
Water inclusion is strongly supported and appears to be universal for this building. The MLS shows WATER in all 20 of 20 listings, which is exceptionally consistent. There is no conflicting remark evidence, so this should be treated as a stable building-level feature.
BBQ/grilling facilities are repeatedly confirmed in the remarks. Listings mention "BBQ areas," "barbecue grills," "BBQ pavilions," "BBQ stations," and a "sky deck with barbecue grills," showing broad, multi-agent support. This matches the very strong MLS history.

Pet exercise amenities are clearly confirmed. Listings refer to a "dog run," "dog park," "dog play area," and a "7th floor pet walk," showing consistent support for a shared pet area. The MLS history also strongly supports this feature.
No analysis available
Exercise/fitness amenities are strongly confirmed. Dozens of listings mention a "modern fitness center," "gym," "workout rooms," or "fitness room," and the wording is repeated by multiple agents rather than a single source. The MLS history is fully aligned, so this feature is highly reliable.
No analysis available
Meeting/conference space is supported by multiple listing remarks. Agents describe "meeting rooms," "conference rooms," "meeting-working spaces," and co-working areas, which are functionally consistent with a shared meeting room amenity. The evidence is broad enough to treat this as a building feature.
Patio/deck amenities are strongly supported for this building. Well over a dozen listings mention shared outdoor spaces, including phrases like "two signature sky lanai," "sky deck with barbecue grills," and "multiple lanai decks," across many different remarks rather than a single copied description. The evidence is consistent and appears to reflect real building amenities, not just checkbox noise.
No public remarks provided direct support for a jogging or walking path, and the feature remains absent from the listing descriptions reviewed. The MLS checkbox history is weak here, so this appears to be a likely false positive in the data.

There is strong evidence for a shared recreation area or amenity deck. Remarks reference an "8th floor amenity deck," "recreation deck with BBQ grills," "sky deck," and "sky lanais," all of which point to common recreational space. This is repeatedly described across the listing set and matches the MLS record well.
Recreation-room-style amenities are well supported. Multiple listings describe "Recreation Rooms," "large recreational area," "party room," and other multi-use entertainment spaces, indicating the building offers shared indoor leisure space. The pattern appears across many agents and is consistent with MLS history.

Storage is clearly present in this building and appears in many recent remarks. At least 8+ listings explicitly mention it with phrases like "separate storage unit," "storage lockers," "storage room right down the hall," "large storage unit," and "storage available for purchase." The repeated mentions across multiple agents strongly support that storage is an available building feature, not just a one-off copy-paste error.
The remarks repeatedly and clearly mention surfboard storage facilities in the building. Variations include surfboard storage, surfboard racks, and bike and surfboard storage, which strongly confirms this feature.
No analysis available
Trash chute is highly likely present based on the MLS amenity history. Public remarks rarely mention trash chutes, so the absence of remark references is not meaningful here. Given the near-universal historical MLS support, this feature should be retained.

Across the provided remarks, 0 listings explicitly mention a pool, lap pool, heated pool, or any similar amenity. Instead, the descriptions consistently list sky lanais, fitness centers, theaters, lounges, and BBQ areas, which suggests the pool-related MLS checkbox is likely a copy-paste or data-entry error rather than a real shared building amenity.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for salt-water pool wording such as saltwater pool, saline pool, or salt pool. There were no pool references in the remarks, and the current building context indicates no pool, so this is very likely false.
In-unit laundry is strongly confirmed across the listing remarks and aligns with the MLS history. At least 8 listings explicitly mention "in-unit washer/dryer" or similar wording, and one states "NEW Washer-Dryer installed in 2025," while another notes a "separate laundry room." The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a copy-paste anomaly.
No analysis available
I looked for explicit references to paid laundry such as coin laundry, coin-op, card-operated machines, or laundry fees. None of the public remarks mention community laundry at all, so there is no evidence it exists or that it is paid.
I searched the public remarks for wording like "laundry on every floor," "laundry room on each floor," and similar phrases. The listings instead mention in-unit washer/dryer or a separate laundry room in a penthouse, but nothing indicates community laundry on every floor.
No analysis available
Assigned/reserved parking is strongly supported across the listing set. At least 10+ remarks explicitly describe assigned, reserved, deeded, standard, or uniquely designated stalls, and the MLS history already shows this as a common feature. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and does not look like a one-off copy-paste error.
Covered parking is very strongly supported and appears stable at the building level. Numerous listings explicitly reference covered stalls or covered parking, and the MLS history shows this feature in all listings. This is consistent across multiple remarks and agents.
I looked for deeded parking, owned stall, parking included in deed, and similar public-remarks language. The listings repeatedly describe parking stalls, including assigned and additional stalls, but none say the parking is deeded with the unit.
No analysis available
I searched for parking fee, monthly parking charge, additional parking cost, and parking rental language. The remarks mention stalls and extra building fees for internet/Ward Village, but no parking-specific monthly fee appears.
Guest parking is well supported by both MLS history and the remarks. At least several listings explicitly mention 'guest parking,' and the MLS data shows it in the majority of records. The repeated phrasing across different listings suggests a genuine shared amenity rather than copied checkbox noise.
Secured entry is supported, but the evidence is less direct than for the other parking features. One listing explicitly says 'secured entry and resident manager,' while several others describe the building as 'secure,' with '24-hour security' or a 'privately patrolled neighborhood.' That combination makes the feature likely present at the building level.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for parking waitlist, waiting list, and join-the-list phrasing. The public remarks do not describe any parking queue system, so there is no evidence that a waitlist exists.
No analysis available
I looked for card/fob access terms like key card access, fob access, card reader, or electronic entry. The public remarks describe the building as secure and mention security services, but they do not explicitly say the entry system uses cards or fobs.
Security guard service is strongly supported for this building. Multiple recent remarks explicitly mention “24-hour security,” “24 hours security service,” “secure building,” and “24/7 privately patrolled” access, confirming the feature across different listings rather than a single agent’s copy-paste. This aligns with the already high-confidence MLS amenities data (17/20 listings checked SECGUA).
Multiple listings directly reference patrol-based security, including private patrols, roving patrols, and 24-hour security service. This is strong public-remark evidence that the building/community has security patrol service.

No analysis available
At least 2 listings explicitly describe split AC/mini-split systems, including phrases like "split A/C units in every room" and "split ACs." The MLS inclusions data shows ACSPL checked in only 3 of 20 listings, so this appears to be a feature present in some units rather than a universal building standard. The remarks look like genuine unit-specific descriptions, not just broad copy-paste amenity text.
There is strong, repeated evidence that units in Ke Kilohana / 988 Halekauwila have window A/C. Multiple listings explicitly mention "window A/C unit" or "window AC," often describing it as being in each room or each bedroom, which is consistent across different agents and listings rather than a one-off copy-paste error. The historical MLS pattern also supports this feature at high confidence.
Concrete construction is strongly supported by the MLS history: 18 of 20 listings show CONCRE. The public remarks across many agents repeatedly describe Ke Kilohana / 988 Halekauwila as a modern 43-story high-rise built in 2019, with no conflicting evidence, so this appears to be a stable building-level attribute rather than a copy-paste error.
Double wall construction is not confirmed by the public remarks. Across many listings, agents repeatedly describe the amenities, views, and interior upgrades, but none explicitly mention double-wall construction or any equivalent wording like "two walls."
Hollow tile is not supported by the listing remarks. Only 2 of 20 MLS entries check HOLTIL, and none of the descriptions reference hollow tile or similar wording. The evidence points to an MLS checkbox anomaly rather than a real building feature.
Masonry/stucco is not evidenced in the remarks. With only 1 of 20 MLS records marked MASSTU and no textual support from agents, this appears to be an unverified checkbox rather than a confirmed feature.
Steel frame construction is not supported by the public remarks: across many listings there are zero explicit mentions of 'steel frame' or 'steel frame construction'. Multiple agents reused broad amenity language, but none provided firsthand construction details, so the current STEFRA entries appear unreliable and should be treated as false unless a verified source says otherwise.
Concrete slab foundation is not supported by the remarks. Only 2 of 20 MLS records show SLAB, and the listing text does not describe a slab foundation, concrete slab, or similar construction detail anywhere in the public remarks.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Above-ground construction is supported by the historical MLS pattern and by the repeated remarks describing a high-rise building with 40th/41st floor residences, sky lanais, and elevated amenity decks. While the remarks do not literally say 'above ground construction,' they consistently reinforce that this is an above-ground tower rather than a ground-level structure. Evidence is broad across many listings and appears building-wide.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for STR permitted/allowed language, NUC or TVU references, hotel-rental wording, and minimum-stay clues. The remarks provide no evidence that short-term rentals are allowed, so this is treated as not supported by the public remarks.
I looked for hotel pool references such as Hilton/Ritz/Trump pool, hotel-managed units, or rental-program wording. None were found, and because STR is not supported by the remarks, a hotel pool program is also unsupported.
I searched for mandatory participation language, required rental program wording, or any 'cannot opt out' phrasing. The remarks contain nothing suggesting a mandatory hotel pool, so this is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for wording like lease expires, ground lease ends, renewed through, and any 4-digit lease expiry year. The public remarks do not mention the building's land tenure or any lease expiration date, so this remains unknown.
The public remarks directly confirm VA approval, which strongly supports VA financing eligibility. I found no conflicting language anywhere in the provided listings.
This is direct, explicit evidence that the building is fully insured. The wording is strong and unambiguous, so this feature is set to true with very high confidence.
Fire sprinklers appear to be a supported building feature based mainly on the MLS amenities data: 16 of 20 current listings have FIRSPR checked. The public remarks do not call out sprinklers explicitly, but there is no evidence suggesting a removal or correction, so this remains a strong building-level amenity.
I looked for public-remarks wording such as "fire life safety evaluation passed," "FLSE passed," "fire safety certified," or similar inspection/compliance language. None was found, so there is no evidence here that the building has passed a fire/life safety evaluation.
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 clear building feature for Ke Kilohana / 988 Halekauwila. Across the remarks, many listings explicitly say "ocean view," "ocean-facing," "panoramic ocean views," and "views of the ocean," often from sky lanais or high-floor units. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and aligns with the strong MLS history.
Mountain views are well supported for this building. Multiple listings mention "mountain views," "ocean and mountain views," and panoramic vistas from the sky lanais, indicating the feature is not incidental to a single unit. The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and unit types, so this should be treated as a legitimate building-level view option.
No analysis available
City views are extremely well supported for this building. Many remarks explicitly reference "city views," "downtown," and urban skyline outlooks, and the MLS history shows CITY in 16 of 20 listings. This is strong, repeated evidence across multiple listings and agents, not just copy-paste noise.
Coastline-style views are supported by several remarks, even when the exact word “coastline” is not always used. Descriptions such as “expansive views across the Honolulu waterfront,” plus references to Ala Moana Beach Park, Magic Island, Kewalo Basin, and oceanfront vantage points, indicate shoreline/coastal views are part of the building’s offerings. The MLS signal is moderate-to-strong and consistent with the public remarks.

Sunset views appear to be available from some units and/or shared vantage points in the building. Multiple remarks mention sunset directly, especially from sky lanais and nearby Ala Moana Beach Park. The evidence is solid, though less ubiquitous than ocean or city views.
No analysis available
I searched for direct statements about seeing fireworks from the building or unit, such as from a lanai or living room. The remarks mention ocean, city, and mountain views, but nothing about fireworks views.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Resident manager is strongly supported by both MLS data and the remarks. Multiple listings explicitly mention 'resident manager,' 'on-site manager,' and similar management language, making this a clear building-level feature rather than a copy-paste anomaly.
