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.

MLS floor fields and floor numbers agree through 42, and penthouse listings are on floor 42. The stored 43 and the state registration's 44-floor field are set aside; the state floor field is unreliable.
The state registration lists 425 total units for this single-building registration, and the county reconciled count is also 425, though the county parcel is shared by two buildings and is only an upper bound. The state's 424 residential-units field is set aside because total_units is authoritative for the registration.
Owner occupancy from AOUO registration(s) 7759. Refreshed by Real_Estate_Scraper/reb_registry/propagate_owner_occupancy.py, which this lock does not block.
I searched for explicit references such as '4 elevators,' 'four elevators,' or 'multiple elevators.' None were found, so the elevator count remains unknown.
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 strongly supported across the building: 12 of 20 current listings identify CABTV in the association fee fields. Several remarks from different listings explicitly reference internet and cable TV or cable/internet bulk service, confirming this is a building-level offering rather than an isolated or copied checkbox.
No public remarks explicitly mention common-area electricity or common electric. However, OTCOEX appears in 19 of 20 current listings, indicating common-area electricity is a standard building expense rather than an isolated agent entry.

No public remarks state that hot water is included in the maintenance fee. HOTWAT appears in only 1 of 20 listings, while WTRHTR appears in 15 of 20, strongly indicating units generally have individual water heaters and building-supplied hot water is not included.
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
No public remarks explicitly mention sewer inclusion. Nevertheless, 19 of 20 current listings include SEWER in the association-fee inclusions, providing strong and consistent building-level evidence that sewer is included.
No public remarks explicitly state that water is included in the maintenance fee. WATER is marked in 20 of 20 current listings, making inclusion effectively universal and strongly supported across the listing data.
BBQ facilities are strongly and repeatedly confirmed by many listings. Key phrases include "sky deck with barbecue grills," "BBQ areas," "BBQ pavilions," "BBQ stations," and "recreation deck with BBQ grills," providing consistent evidence across agents.

Pet exercise facilities are clearly confirmed across multiple listings. Remarks repeatedly cite a "dog run," "dog park," "dog play area," "dog area," and "7th floor pet walk," showing consistent evidence from multiple agents.
No analysis available
Exercise amenities are overwhelmingly confirmed across the listings. Repeated phrases include "modern fitness center," "state-of-the-art fitness center," "gym," "workout rooms," "Indoor Fitness Center," and "exercise room," indicating a consistent building-wide amenity rather than isolated copy-paste.
No analysis available
Meeting and work-oriented common spaces are repeatedly documented. Key phrases include "meeting rooms," "meeting-working spaces," "conference and theater rooms," "private event rooms," and "co-work room," supporting a genuine shared meeting-space amenity.
More than 14 listings mention building-wide outdoor amenities, with repeated phrases such as "two signature sky lanai," "sky deck with barbecue grills," "multiple lanai decks," and "BBQ areas." The feature is consistently described across numerous listings and agents as shared building amenities, not a private unit-only feature, strongly confirming that the building offers patio/deck spaces.
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.

The building clearly offers shared recreation and amenity areas. Remarks reference the "8th floor amenity deck," "recreation deck with BBQ grills," "entertaining area," sky lanai lounges, and multiple indoor/outdoor gathering spaces across numerous listings.
Recreation-room-style amenities are well supported across the remarks. Listings specifically mention "Recreation Rooms," a "large recreational area," "party room," "playroom," and multiple indoor entertainment spaces, consistent with the high MLS frequency.

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.
Surfboard storage is repeatedly identified as a building amenity across the listings. The remarks describe dedicated storage, racks, and combined bicycle/surfboard storage facilities.
No analysis available
A trash chute system is highly likely to be a building feature based on the 19/20 current MLS listings and strong historical support. Public remarks generally omit this operational amenity, but the near-universal checkbox presence is sufficient to retain it as true.

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
The amenity descriptions focus on sky lanais, fitness areas, theaters, lounges, play spaces, BBQ areas, and workspaces. No saltwater-pool terminology or pool amenity was found.
In-unit laundry is strongly confirmed across the listing history and current remarks. At least 8 listings explicitly mention an "in-unit washer/dryer" or equivalent, while current MLS inclusions report washer/dryer in 18 of 20 listings. The repeated confirmations across multiple unit types and agents, including a specific 2025 installation, indicate this is a reliable building feature rather than an isolated or copied error.
No analysis available
The listings primarily describe in-unit laundry, including washer/dryer combinations. They do not identify shared laundry requiring coins, cards, quarters, or other payment.
The remarks repeatedly describe in-unit washers and dryers and, in one case, a private laundry room. No qualifying reference to shared laundry facilities available on every floor was found.
No analysis available
At least 8 listings explicitly mention assigned or designated parking, including “1 assigned parking stall,” “dedicated parking stall,” “rare, oversized parking stall,” and “separate, deeded storage locker” paired with a prime stall. Other listings describe specific or standard stalls, supporting building-level assigned parking across multiple agents rather than a single isolated claim.
At least 10 listings explicitly reference covered parking, including “TWO SIDE-BY-SIDE covered parking stalls,” “covered assigned parking stall,” “1 cover parking,” “two covered parking stalls,” and “2 covered parking stalls.” The 20/20 current MLS indication and repeated remarks across many listings provide overwhelming building-level support.
Numerous listings confirm parking availability, including multiple covered and assigned stalls. The only explicit deeded reference is to a storage locker, not parking, so deeded parking is not established.
No analysis available
The remarks mention additional charges such as "$50 fee for internet and cable TV" and Ward Village fees. No fee was identified as being associated with parking.
At least 5 listings explicitly mention “guest parking,” including descriptions calling Ke Kilohana a secure building with guest parking and one listing stating there is “plenty of guest parking.” The repeated wording appears in several otherwise distinct listings and aligns with the 13/20 MLS indication.
At least 7 listings reference security relevant to entry or parking, including “secured entry and resident manager,” “secure building,” “24-hour security,” and a 24/7 privately patrolled neighborhood with “security cameras & roving patrols.” Although the remarks are sometimes building-security descriptions rather than parking-gate details, they support secured access and agree with the 10/20 MLS checkbox records.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks discuss assigned stalls, guest parking, multiple parking spaces, and EV charging stations. They contain no evidence of a parking waitlist system.
No analysis available
The listings provide general security language, including “secured entry” and “secure building.” They do not explicitly confirm a card- or fob-based access system.
Security guard/service is strongly supported across the building: at least 3 listings explicitly mention “24-hour security” or “24 hours security service,” while others describe the building as secure or having secured entry. This confirms the historical high-confidence determination and is supported by multiple agents rather than a lone checkbox.
Repeated direct references confirm patrol coverage associated with the Ward Village/building community. The remarks specifically describe private patrols, roving patrols, and 24-hour security service.

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.
At least 4 current listings explicitly mention window A/C, including remarks stating “Each room is cooled by its own window A/C unit” and that each bedroom has “window AC.” Combined with ACWIUN appearing in 17/20 current listings and the previously high-confidence building history, the evidence is strong across multiple listings, although some MLS checkbox entries may be copied forward.
Eighteen of 20 listings identify concrete construction through the MLS construction-material field, consistent with the building’s known modern high-rise construction. Public remarks focus on amenities and unit features and do not provide contrary information; the evidence is strong across the listing history.
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.
Six of 20 listings currently report STEFRA, while no supplied public remarks explicitly use the phrases 'steel frame' or 'steel frame construction.' The attribute is retained because the historical record is identified as High confidence, but the lack of remark-level confirmation makes the evidence weaker than for concrete construction.
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.

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
The remarks mention investors, rental income, tenant occupancy, and long-term tenants, but none establish short-term rental permission. Because STR authorization is not stated, it is treated as false.
The remarks were searched for hotel-pool and hotel-operations language, but no participation was described. This feature must also be false because short-term rental permission is not established.
The listings contain no language requiring units to participate in a hotel rental pool. Since neither STR permission nor hotel-pool participation is supported, mandatory participation is false.

The remarks were searched for leasehold terminology, ground lease language, lease expiration, and renewal dates. No applicable lease expiry year was found, so the value is unknown.
Public remarks directly confirm VA approval for the building/unit. This is strong, explicit evidence of VA financing eligibility, with no conflicting remarks.
The listing provides direct and unusually strong evidence that the building is fully insured for hurricane insurance. This supports the existing true value with very high confidence.
No current public remarks explicitly mention fire sprinklers or a sprinkler system. However, 16 of 20 current listings include FIRSPR in the MLS amenities, consistent with the previously high-confidence assessment; the repeated checkbox data across many listings provides strong support despite the lack of remark text.
I searched the remarks for FLSE, fire/life safety evaluation, fire safety certification, life safety compliance, and passed fire inspection language. No such evidence was found; with no current true value, this remains false with medium-low confidence.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

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 supported by at least 6 of 20 current MLS listings, with repeated explicit references across multiple units and agents. Remarks also describe shared sky lanais and rooftop areas with panoramic mountain vistas, confirming this is a building-level offering even though it is not present in every unit's view description.
No analysis available
City views are extremely well supported, appearing in 16 of 20 current MLS listings. Multiple independent remarks explicitly reference city views, downtown, Kakaako, and Ward Village urban views, demonstrating a strong building-level feature rather than a single listing's unsupported checkbox.
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
The remarks mention ocean, city, mountain, harbor, waterfront, sunset, and other views. None specifically describe viewing Friday night fireworks from a residence or building amenity.

Multiple listings explicitly reference management, including 'on-site management,' 'resident manager,' and 'on-site manager.' Combined with RESMAN being checked on 16 of 20 current listings and the prior high-confidence history, the evidence is strong across multiple listings rather than relying solely on copied checkbox data.
