Aloha Lani
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.

Searched remarks for explicit phrases like "80% owner occupied", "majority owner occupied", or numeric owner-occupancy statements and found none. Per rules, keep the current numeric value (28.00) but with low confidence since there is no explicit confirmation or contradiction in the public remarks.
Remarks repeatedly reference elevators and proximity to them (e.g., "near the elevators", "fob-access elevators", "smart elevator") but never state a count. Per rules, cannot change numeric field without an explicit number, so keeping the current value of 3 with low confidence due to lack of a numeric confirmation.
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.

Multiple listings (e.g., 'Cable TV: $47.50', '$32.75 cable fee') and several remarks state maintenance/fees cover basic cable. Current MLS checkbox data also shows CABTV commonly set (13/20), and the language appears across different agents rather than isolated copy/paste.
15 of 20 current MLS listings include OTCOEX (common area electricity). No public remarks explicitly state 'common area electricity included,' and multiple remarks appear to be standard template language, suggesting some agent copy/paste. Given the MLS checkbox prevalence (15/20) but lack of explicit remarks, inclusion is plausible but not strongly confirmed.

Multiple unit remarks explicitly note individual water heaters or tankless water heaters (e.g., 'tankless water heater', 'new water heater'), and MLS data shows WTRHTR in 11/20 listings while HOTWAT is only in 3/20. This strongly indicates hot water is provided by individual units and not included in maintenance fees across the building.
There are no remarks claiming internet is included and only a few MLS checkbox entries (4/20) mark INTSER, suggesting likely copy/paste or limited cases rather than a building‑wide inclusion of internet service.
No analysis available
17 of 20 current MLS listings include SEWER and multiple public remarks explicitly state maintenance fees cover sewer (e.g., 'maintenance fees cover basic cable, water, and sewer'). The consistency across listings and explicit wording indicates strong evidence that sewer is included in the association fees.
17 of 20 current MLS entries list WATER in association_fee_includes and several remarks explicitly mention 'maintenance fees cover ... water,' providing consistent, explicit evidence across multiple listings and agents that water is included in the maintenance fees.
Strong evidence: ~16–20 listings mention barbecue/grilling facilities with quotes such as 'BBQ area', 'multiple BBQs', and 'gas barbecue grills' or 'roof top BBQ'. These references are widespread across listings and likely reflect an actual common-area amenity.

No analysis available
Car wash facilities are mentioned explicitly in some remarks ('car wash area' / 'car wash') though only referenced infrequently. The limited but direct mentions indicate the building offers a car wash area, but evidence is not widespread among listings.

Strong, consistent evidence: roughly 15–20 listings explicitly reference an on-site exercise/fitness facility (phrases like 'exercise room', 'fitness room', 'gym', 'well-equipped fitness center'). Mentions come from multiple agents and across many unit remarks, indicating a building-level shared amenity rather than a unit-specific feature.
No analysis available
Mentions of a meeting or community/conference-type room appear in the remarks (explicit 'meeting room' in at least one listing and references to multifunctional/community rooms in others). Evidence is moderate across listings, suggesting a shared meeting/community room is available but less prominently advertised.
Strong, consistent evidence across listings that the building offers patios/decks: many remarks reference 'roof top pool and sun deck', 'pool deck cabanas', 'recreation deck', 'BBQ area', and unit lanais. The MLS checkbox was set for 12/20 listings and the current public remarks repeatedly describe shared outdoor deck spaces and lanais, indicating the feature is broadly available to residents rather than a single private amenity.

Remarks frequently describe shared recreation areas and decks (e.g., 'recreation deck', 'roof top recreation deck', 'rec deck', 'amenity deck'), often tied to the pool/hot tub and lounging cabanas. Several listings explicitly call out a recreation area separate from the indoor rec room, supporting inclusion.
Good corroboration: roughly 9–15 listings mention a shared recreation or game room (phrases like 'recreation room', 'rec room', 'recreation deck', 'game area', 'multi-functional recreation room'). Multiple agent remarks consistently present this as a building amenity rather than a unit-specific feature.

No analysis available
Saunas (including men's/women's sauna references) are repeatedly cited throughout the remarks (numerous listings note 'sauna' and associated hot tub/jacuzzi). The consistency across many agent remarks and prior high-confidence MLS data supports a strong inclusion.
Strong evidence that Aloha Lani offers storage/lockers: at least ~15 listings in the current public remarks explicitly mention storage (phrases include 'dedicated storage unit', 'small storage locker', 'storage room outside the front door', and 'additional storage'). This is consistent with historical MLS checkbox data showing storage amenities on many listings and appears across multiple agent remarks rather than as a single copy/paste error.
Multiple listings highlight dedicated surfboard racks/storage (sometimes combined with bike storage), confirming surfboard storage is available in the building.
No analysis available
Moderate evidence: MLS checkbox history shows many listings indicating a trash/garbage chute (15/20), but zero explicit mentions of 'trash chute' or 'garbage chute' were found in the public remarks. Given the consistent checkbox prevalence and typical high-rise practice, the building likely has a trash chute, but the lack of explicit remarks lowers confidence.

No analysis available
Solid evidence: approximately 7–12 listings explicitly reference a hot tub/jacuzzi/whirlpool (e.g., 'hot tub', 'jacuzzi', 'whirlpool', 'hot tub now open', 'hot tub and pool'). References are repeated across multiple agent remarks and tied to common pool/deck areas, indicating a building-level spa amenity.
Strong, consistent evidence that Aloha Lani has a pool: 16/20 listings historically had the pool amenity checked and numerous current remarks explicitly mention a pool — key phrases include "pool", "brand NEW sparkling saltwater pool", and "newly upgraded pool". The mentions appear across many different listings/agents rather than being isolated, indicating the building-wide amenity is real and up-to-date.
Moderate evidence that the building's pool is heated: about 3 listings/remarks explicitly state a heated pool (examples: “roof top recreation deck with heated pool,” “heated swimming pool/whirlpool”), and MLS HEAPOO flags appear in a few listings. The mentions are explicit but not widespread across the dataset, so confidence is moderate.
Multiple listings explicitly describe the building's pool as saltwater/salt water, confirming the pool is a salt/saline pool.
Multiple penthouse remarks clearly describe an 'in-unit washer/dryer', confirming that at least one unit in Aloha Lani has its own laundry. MLS inclusions (2/20 listings with washer/dryer) support that this is not just a checkbox error. Buyers seeking buildings where some units have in-unit laundry would reasonably consider this building.
Strong evidence that the building offers shared/community laundry: historical MLS data had COMLAU checked in 14 of 20 listings, and numerous agent remarks explicitly state 'community laundry', 'coin-operated laundry center', or 'common laundry area'. This feature is confirmed across multiple listings and agents (no remarks indicate the laundry was removed).
Several listings explicitly call out coin-operated or coin laundry facilities, confirming that the community laundry requires payment. I looked for terms such as 'coin-operated', 'coin laundry', 'paid laundry', and found direct mentions.
Multiple remarks reference a centralized/community laundry (including a seventh-floor laundry), but there is no language indicating laundry facilities on every floor. I searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry' and found none.
Parking is clearly present at Aloha Lani. More than a dozen listings reference on-site parking stalls, covered or uncovered parking, and a parking garage (e.g., '1 parking stall', 'covered parking stall', 'fee simple parking stall in the heart of Waikiki'). Multiple standalone listings sell only parking stalls in the Aloha Lani structure, confirming building parking as a core feature.
High-confidence evidence: ~17 of 20 MLS entries historically listed assigned parking and numerous remarks explicitly say 'assigned parking', 'deeded parking stall', or 'two assigned parking stalls'. Mentions come from multiple agents/listings (not isolated copy/paste), confirming the building offers assigned/reserved stalls.
Strong, corroborated evidence: ~17 of 20 MLS entries historically included covered/garage parking and many current remarks explicitly mention 'covered parking stall', 'covered/secured parking', or 'garage', showing covered parking is a building feature offered to units.
Multiple listings explicitly describe deeded or fee-simple parking stalls included or available for sale, confirming parking is deeded/owned with high confidence.
No analysis available
The public remarks include an explicit monthly parking maintenance fee of $73.01 cited multiple times ('Monthly Fees: Maintenance Fee: $738.01, Cable TV: $47.50, Parking Maintenance Fee: $73.01'). There is one other listing line showing a parking fee component ($51.46) as part of a breakdown, but the most clearly repeated explicit monthly parking maintenance amount shown is $73.01.
Guest parking is not clearly supported in the remarks: only 2/20 MLS records include GUEST and the collected public remarks rarely, if ever, state 'guest parking' or 'visitor parking.' While a couple MLS entries flag guest parking, building remarks focus on assigned/deeded and covered stalls rather than a designated guest program, so evidence for guest parking is weak.
Moderately high evidence: 10 of 20 MLS listings historically flagged secured entry and numerous remarks state 'secured garage', 'gated', 'secure entry fobs', and '24/7 security'. These repeated, explicit references across different listings support that parking access is secured (gated/fob) at Aloha Lani.

I searched the remarks for phrases indicating a parking waitlist (e.g., 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', 'join waitlist for parking') and found none. Multiple remarks describe assigned, deeded, fee-simple, covered parking stalls and availability for purchase/rent, but no mention of a formal waitlist system.
No analysis available
Listings repeatedly mention fob/key card access for garage, lobby, elevators and recreation areas, indicating an electronic card/fob security access system.
Strong evidence that Aloha Lani provides on-site security: numerous listing remarks (well over a dozen separate unit and parking listings) explicitly state '24/7 security', '24-hour security', 'guard service onsite', or 'secure building with guard service'. These confirmations appear across multiple agents and listings rather than being limited to a single copy/paste source, aligning with prior MLS checkbox data (15/20) and supporting a high-confidence inclusion.
Public remarks repeatedly state 24-hour/24/7 security and guard service onsite, indicating active security patrol/guard coverage of the building.

Strong evidence the building is concrete: 18 of 20 current MLS entries list construction as 'CONCRE' and historical MLS data showed 17 of 20 listing this construction. Public remarks include many references to a substantial, secured high-rise with garages, rooftop decks and structural renovations, and no credible contradictory statements; multiple agents consistently indicate concrete construction, suggesting high confidence.
Evidence for double-wall construction is lacking: only 5 of 20 current MLS entries list DOUWAL, there is no mention of 'double wall' or 'double-wall construction' in the public remarks for any listing, and the remarks instead reference hollow-brick smoothing and double-pane windows. Given absent historical support and no corroborating remarks, the double-wall feature appears unsupported and is omitted.

Just 2 of 20 current MLS listings mark steel frame, with no remarks mentioning 'steel frame' or similar structural descriptions. The building is otherwise consistently treated as a concrete high-rise. This pattern strongly indicates the structure is not categorized as steel frame in practice, and the minority STEFRA entries are probably mischecked boxes.

Multiple listings (8 of 20) explicitly mark 'above ground' construction in the MLS, and remarks repeatedly describe high-floor units, rooftop pool/deck, and a multi-story tower. This confirms the building is constructed as an above-ground high-rise rather than a slab-level or partially subterranean structure. No conflicting evidence appears in the remarks.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Multiple listings state '30 day minimum' or '30-day minimum rentals allowed'. Under the given definition, that means short-term rentals (under 30 days) are not allowed.
There are no remarks referencing a hotel rental pool or hotel-managed rental program. Since short-term rentals are not allowed, hotel-pool participation is not applicable.
Listings reference owner use and 30-day minimum rentals with no mention of any required participation in a rental pool. Therefore mandatory participation is false.

I searched the public remarks for explicit lease expiry years or renewal statements (e.g., 'lease expires 2050', 'land lease to 2065', 'renewed through 2075') and found none. Because there is no explicit year referenced, the lease expiry is unknown from these remarks.
Multiple listings explicitly state the building/units are VA approved and reference an assumable VA loan. This directly confirms VA financing is accepted.
Several listings explicitly describe the building as fully insured (e.g., 'BUILDING IS 100% INSURED!'), indicating HOA/walls-in coverage. This provides high confidence that the building is fully insured.
No analysis available
Searched public remarks for phrases indicating a passed fire/life safety evaluation (e.g., "FLSE passed", "fire life safety evaluation passed", "passed fire inspection"). None were found. With no explicit mention and no existing documented pass, set to false with medium confidence (absence of statement likely indicates no documented public remark about passing).
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Multiple listings explicitly mention ocean views and ocean-facing lanais—quotes include 'sparkling ocean views', '525 square foot private lanai facing the ocean', and 'peek-a-boo ocean/Royal Hawaiian hotel view from bedroom'. Evidence is repeated across many agent remarks and appears in listings for both penthouse and standard units, indicating the building offers ocean-view units.
Multiple listings repeatedly reference mountain/Koolau/mauka views (examples: 'Koolau Mountain Range', 'Ko'olau mountains', 'majestic mountain-facing balcony'), with consistent mentions across different agents and unit descriptions. Evidence is strong and corroborates the historical high-confidence designation that the building offers mountain views.
Some listings (particularly high-floor/end-unit remarks) mention Diamond Head: 'tail of Diamond Head', 'close to ... Diamond Head', and 'views of the tail of Diamond Head'. Mentions are less frequent than ocean/mountain but present across multiple listings, supporting inclusion with moderate-high confidence.
Several listings explicitly state city or urban views (phrases like 'city views', 'sparkling city lights', and 'cityscape') across different unit remarks, confirming that some units in the building offer city views. The consistency across listings supports a high-confidence inclusion.
Several listings reference ocean-facing lanais and 'peek-a-boo ocean' or ocean views from bedrooms/front walkway—evidence such as 'private lanai facing the ocean' and 'sparkling ocean views' imply coastline/shoreline views. Explicit 'coastline' language is limited, so inclusion is with moderate confidence.
No analysis available
Numerous unit remarks explicitly mention views of the Ala Wai Golf Course (phrases such as 'Ala Wai Golf Course' and 'golf course views') across different listings and agents. The repeated, explicit references confirm that some units in the building offer golf course views, supporting high confidence.
Listings repeatedly mention the Ala Wai Canal/canal views but do not reference a marina, harbor, or yacht harbor; phrases seen include 'Ala Wai Canal' and 'canal and mountain views'. Given consistent canal-focused language and absence of marina/harbor wording across remarks, the building should not be marked as having marina views.
Several listings reference sunrise views—quotes include 'sunrises above the Ala Wai Golf Course' and 'spectacular sunrises'. These explicit mentions across multiple listings support inclusion of sunrise views with high confidence.
Across dozens of listings, 0/20 MLS view descriptions mention sunset, and the remarks consistently emphasize sunrises and mauka/Ala Wai/Ko'olau views (e.g., "spectacular sunrises" and "watch the sun rise over the mountains"). While a few units note ocean or city views, no agent describes sunset, western exposure, or fireworks views from the building, suggesting sunset views are not a meaningful or marketed feature here.
No analysis available
I searched all public remarks for explicit phrases indicating fireworks views from the building or units (e.g., 'fireworks view from unit', 'watch fireworks from lanai', 'see fireworks from the unit'). Multiple listings describe mountain, canal, ocean, sunrise/sunset and rainbow views, but there are no references to fireworks views. Absence of any mention leads to a likely negative, so set false with medium confidence.

Strong evidence the building has a resident/on-site manager: at least 15–20 of the provided listing remarks explicitly reference a resident manager or on-site manager (quotes include "full time resident manager", "resident manager working on site during the day", and "resident manager and excellent security included"). This corroborates prior high-confidence MLS checkbox data and appears consistently across multiple agents rather than being a one-off mention.
