No analysis available
No owner-occupancy percentage or qualitative statement was present in the remarks. Per rules, cannot infer or guess a numeric percentage without explicit evidence, so the value remains unknown.
No explicit elevator count found in the remarks. I looked for numeric mentions or phrases indicating multiple elevators; only a positional reference to 'the elevators' was present. Per rules, do not guess a numeric value without explicit evidence.
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.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly note an extra monthly charge for cable (quotes: "Additional $50 fee for internet and cable TV.", "$50.24/mo. for Cable & Internet service"). Although 12/20 current MLS listings have CABTV checked, the remarks from different agents consistently describe cable as a separate billed fee, so cable is not included in regular maintenance.
Current MLS data shows OTCOEX (common area electricity) in 15/20 listings and historical confidence was High. There are no remarks indicating a change, so common area electricity is treated as included in the association/maintenance fee across the building.

Only 1/20 current MLS listings mark HOTWAT while many listings list WTRHTR (individual water heaters) in inclusions, and remarks describe in-unit appliances with no mention of building-provided hot water. This indicates hot water is not included in the maintenance fee.
Although current MLS shows INTSER in 13/20 listings, agent remarks clearly state an extra monthly charge for internet (quotes: "$48 Fee is for Internet bulk service through Spectrum", "Additional $50 fee for internet and cable TV."). The consistent agent remarks indicate internet is a separately billed service, not included in regular maintenance.
No analysis available
SEWER appears in 18/20 current MLS listings and historical data regarded sewer inclusion with High confidence. There are no public remarks suggesting a change, so sewer is treated as included in the association/maintenance fee.
Water is marked in 18/20 MLS listings as included in association fees and historical confidence was High. Remarks do not contradict this and instead call out separate charges for internet/cable, so water is considered included in maintenance.
Very strong evidence across listings: numerous remarks explicitly note 'BBQ areas', 'BBQ pavilions', 'sky deck with barbecue grills', and 'barbecue grills' on the amenity decks. Multiple agents mention this consistently, supporting a building-wide shared BBQ amenity.

Clear multi-listing corroboration: many remarks refer to a 'dog run', 'dog park', 'pet walk', or 'dog play area' (e.g., 'dog run', 'dog park', '7th floor pet walk'). These references are repeated across listings and agents, supporting a building-level pet/dog amenity.
No analysis available
Strong evidence across many listings: at least 18–20 remarks reference fitness facilities such as 'fitness center', 'fully equipped fitness center', 'gym', and 'yoga room'. Mentions are consistent across multiple agent listings (not isolated), indicating a bona fide building-wide fitness amenity.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: multiple listings reference 'meeting-working spaces', 'meeting rooms', 'conference/meeting rooms', and co-working/business spaces. These amenities are described across different agent remarks, indicating available shared meeting/conference spaces.
Strong, consistent evidence across multiple agent remarks indicates the building offers shared outdoor spaces: numerous listings reference "sky lanais", "sky deck", "amenity deck" and "recreation deck" (over a dozen separate remarks). Mentions appear in listings from different agents and repeatedly describe BBQ areas, outdoor lounges, and panoramic rooftop/sky lanais, supporting inclusion of patio_deck as a building amenity.
No listings' public remarks mention a 'jogging path', 'walking path', or 'running trail'. Although a small number of MLS entries have WAJOPA checked (3/20), the remarks contain zero references and there is no prior evidence—insufficient support to include this as a building feature.

Consistent evidence across listings: many remarks cite an '8th floor amenity deck', 'recreation deck', or 'large recreational area' and describe outdoor amenity decks and play zones. Multiple agents reference these common outdoor/amenity areas.
Solid multi-listing evidence: at least a dozen+ remarks reference 'Recreation Rooms', 'recreation rooms', 'rec rooms', or 'recreation deck'. These appear repeatedly across different listings, indicating shared recreation/multi-purpose rooms in the building.

Multiple units are advertised with a "separate storage unit," "large storage unit," "storage room right down the hall," and "storage lockers," and MLS shows STORAG/ADDLVSTORAG for several listings.
Multiple remarks explicitly list surfboard storage/racks as an amenity, often alongside bike storage. Given the repeated, explicit mentions across listings, surfboard storage is marked true with very high confidence.
No analysis available
MLS checkbox data strongly suggests a trash chute (17 of 20 listings list it), but public remarks rarely mention 'trash chute' or similar. Because agents commonly check this amenity in MLS yet remarks don't explicitly describe it, the feature is included with moderate confidence (implied by MLS prevalence rather than explicit remark confirmation).

Confidence 90%: Only 2/20 MLS listings check a pool-related amenity, and across extensive amenity descriptions in 20+ remarks, none mention any pool, which is highly unlikely if a pool existed.
No analysis available
I searched for 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool', 'salt pool', etc., and found no references. The building context also notes no pool, supporting that a salt pool does not exist.
Building-level evidence is strong: historical MLS data indicates 19/20 listings include washer/dryer, and multiple current remarks explicitly state "in-unit washer and dryer", "in-unit washer/dryer", and even "NEW Washer-Dryer installed in 2025". The feature is confirmed across numerous agent remarks rather than appearing to be a single copy-paste error, so buyers searching for in-unit laundry should expect that some units in Ke Kilohana offer it.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for paid-laundry indicators (coin-op, paid laundry, card operated, quarters) and found no references. The listings emphasize in-unit laundry rather than communal paid laundry.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like 'laundry on every floor', 'laundry on each floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry' and found none. Listings repeatedly mention in-unit washers/dryers and a separate laundry room in a penthouse but do not state community laundry on every floor.
No analysis available
Assigned parking is well-supported: MLS parking_features currently list ASSIGN on 14 of 20 listings and numerous remarks explicitly state assigned or dedicated stalls (quotes: "covered assigned parking stall", "1 assigned stall", "dedicated parking stall"). Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents rather than appearing to be a single copy/paste error, so assigned parking should be included.
Covered parking is strongly supported: all 20 MLS entries indicate covered/garage parking and the remarks repeatedly mention covered stalls and covered/side-by-side parking (quotes: "covered assigned parking stall", "1 cover parking", "2 Covered Side-by-Side Parking"). The evidence is robust across listings and agents, so covered parking should be included.
Searched for explicit 'deeded parking' or 'owned stall' language. While several listings describe assigned/covered/oversized stalls and one owner 'purchased an additional parking space', there is no explicit statement that parking is deeded to the unit, so parking_deeded is set to false with low confidence.
No analysis available
Searched for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking charge', or similar. No listings specify a separate monthly parking fee, so the monthly parking fee is unknown (null) based on the remarks.
Guest parking is supported: 12 of 20 MLS entries list GUEST and several remarks state "guest parking" or "plenty of guest parking". Multiple listings across different agents reference guest/visitor parking, providing solid corroboration.
13/20 MLS listings mark SECENT in parking_features, and remarks reference a "secure building," "secured entry," and 24/7 patrols, implying controlled access to parking areas.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Searched public remarks for any mention of a parking waitlist system; nothing was found. Set to false with low confidence due to absence of information.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit terms like 'key card access', 'fob access', and 'card reader' and found none. While the building is described as secure with secured entry and on-site management, there is no explicit statement about card/fob access.
Both historical MLS data (17 of 20 listings marked SECGUA) and current remarks confirm building security. Multiple listings explicitly state '24/7 privately patrolled neighborhood', '24-hour security', 'secured entry', or 'on-site management', and several others describe the building as 'secure' — evidence is strong across multiple agents and listings.
Several listings explicitly describe private patrols and 24-hour/roving security, directly supporting that the building/neighborhood is patrolled. Given multiple explicit mentions, this is set to true with high confidence.

High-confidence evidence that the building offers window air-conditioning: 17 of 20 MLS listings include ACWIUN and numerous public remarks explicitly state window A/C units (quotes include "Each room is cooled by its own window A/C unit" and "Each bedroom has... window AC"). Mentions appear across multiple agent listings rather than being isolated, indicating many units have window ACs (though some other units reference split ACs as well).
17 of 20 current MLS listings mark construction_materials=CONCRE and historical records showed high confidence this building is concrete. Public remarks describe a modern high-rise (e.g., "high-rise", "completed in 2019", multi-deck sky lanais and 41st-floor units) consistent with reinforced concrete construction across multiple agents rather than isolated copy/paste.

Although only 5 of 20 current listings explicitly check ABOGRO, historical data (high confidence) and widespread remarks referencing high-rise features—"41st floor", "sky lanais", "rooftop deck" and multiple high floors—support that the building is constructed above ground. Evidence appears consistent across many agent remarks rather than a single erroneous listing.

Searched for explicit short-term rental language (e.g., 'STR permitted', 'vacation rental', 'NUC', '30-day minimum' context). No remarks state that STRs are allowed; absence of any STR language leads to setting str_allowed = false with moderate confidence.
Searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', or hotel brand management. None of the public remarks mention participation in a hotel rental pool. Because str_allowed is false per remarks, str_hotel_pool is false.
Searched for 'mandatory hotel pool' or language requiring participation. No evidence was found; and since short-term rentals are not indicated as allowed, mandatory pool participation is set to false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Searched remarks for leasehold language and 4-digit expiry years (e.g., 'lease expires 2050', 'ground lease ends'). The building is repeatedly described as a modern Ward Village tower with no leasehold language; therefore no lease expiry year can be extracted.
Searched all remarks for phrases indicating VA loan approval (e.g., 'VA approved', 'VA financing', 'VA loans accepted'). No listing mentions VA/VA financing, so set to false with low-medium confidence due to absence of evidence.
Remarks explicitly state the building is 100% fully insured for hurricane insurance, indicating comprehensive (walls-in) coverage by the HOA. This explicit language supports a high confidence true.
MLS checkbox evidence is strong: 15/20 current listings mark FIRSPR. Public remarks do not explicitly mention sprinklers (no contrary language), and there is no agent commentary indicating a change, so the building is very likely sprinklered.
There is no remark indicating the building has passed a fire/life safety evaluation. Because there is no current FLSE value in remarks, the absence of any reference leads to a default false with medium confidence.
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
Strong evidence across many listings: phrases like "makai-facing," "ocean views—from every main living space," "panoramic ocean and mountain views," and "ocean-facing unit" appear repeatedly. Multiple distinct listings/remarks describe views of Ala Moana, Magic Island, Kewalo Basin and the Pacific, indicating the building offers ocean-view units (evidence appears from different agents rather than a single copy/paste).
No analysis available
No analysis available
Multiple listings describe city or downtown views for Ke Kilohana—phrases include "city and neighborhood vistas," "city views," and "downtown." At least 8 different public-remark blocks explicitly mention city/downtown views, and this is consistent across agents rather than isolated, supporting a high-confidence determination that the building offers city views.
One MLS view description uses COASTL, and remarks refer to expansive views across the "Honolulu waterfront," Ala Moana Beach Park, Magic Island, and Kewalo Basin Harbor, all of which imply visible shoreline/coastline.

I looked for explicit language like 'watch fireworks from', 'fireworks view from lanai', or 'see fireworks from unit' and found none. Remarks describe ocean, harbor, and Magic Island views but do not claim fireworks views from units.

MLS data indicates 14/20 listings list resident manager. Several public remarks explicitly reference on-site/resident management ('on-site management', 'resident manager'), so evidence from multiple agents/remarks corroborates that the building has an on-site/resident manager.

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.
