Discovery Bay
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.
If this building is important to your search, you can help prioritize it for a full audit by requesting one below. To see what a complete report looks like, check out the example full report.

Some individual listings mention an owner-occupied unit, a second home, or suitability for owner-occupants, but these do not establish the building-wide percentage. The current value of 40.0 is therefore retained with low confidence because the remarks provide no evidence to confirm or deny it.
The remarks confirm that elevators exist, including references to elevator lobbies and parking near elevators. No explicit elevator count was found, so the current value of 4 is retained with low confidence and cannot be confirmed or denied from the remarks.
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.
Central air conditioning is strongly confirmed by 16 of 20 current listings and numerous explicit remarks. Listings state “Maintenance fee covers ... AC chiller” and “MAINTENANCE FEE includes Central AC,” with the consistency across units indicating a building-wide inclusion.
Cable inclusion is strongly supported by 18 of 20 current MLS listings and repeated remarks from multiple listings. Key phrases include “TV Cable,” “basic cable,” and “WiFi and basic cable are included in the maintenance fee,” confirming this is a building-level benefit rather than an isolated unit feature.
At least 4 listings explicitly mention common-area expense inclusion, including “other common expenses” and “common area expenses.” Although fewer remarks spell this out than for cable or water, the current MLS data and repeated fee lists support the previously high-confidence conclusion.
No analysis available
Multiple listings (at least ~10 separate remark blocks) explicitly state maintenance fees include central AC, hot water or an AC chiller (e.g., "Maintenance fee includes central AC, hot water, cable, internet"; "AC and hot water paid thru MF"). Historical MLS checkbox evidence was sparse (2/20), but current agent remarks across many listings consistently imply that electricity for HVAC/hot water is covered by the association fees. Evidence is implied rather than repeatedly using the exact phrase 'electricity included,' so confidence is moderate (0.75).
Gas inclusion is weakly supported in the current material. The only repeated gas references concern BBQ grills, not gas included in maintenance fees; however, the prior high-confidence building record and two current GAS checkboxes do not meet the required threshold to confidently reverse the value.
Hot water inclusion is strongly supported by 16 of 20 current MLS listings and multiple explicit remarks from different listings. Phrases such as “Dues include: Hot water” and “Maintenance fee covers ... hot water” confirm the feature; the single WTRHTR entry appears to be an isolated inconsistency.
Internet service is repeatedly confirmed, with 17 of 20 current listings marking it as included. Remarks from multiple listings specifically mention “Internet,” “WiFi,” and “WiFi and basic cable are included in the maintenance fee,” providing strong building-level evidence.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is nearly universal in the current MLS data, appearing in 19 of 20 listings. Multiple remarks explicitly include sewer in maintenance fees, often alongside water, hot water, cable, internet, and AC, making the evidence very strong across the building.
Water inclusion is strongly established by 19 of 20 current MLS listings and repeated public remarks. Explicit lists such as “Maintenance fee includes ... Water” and “Maintenance fee covers Wi-Fi, basic cable, hot water, sewer, and water” confirm this is a building-level inclusion.
BBQ facilities are confirmed in many independent remarks with phrases such as “BBQ area,” “BBQ patio,” “gas BBQ grills,” “BBQ deck,” and “8 BBQ stations.” The repeated detailed descriptions across listings strongly establish a building-level amenity.
No analysis available
No analysis available
There is no substantive public-remark evidence for car wash facilities at this building. The MLS checkbox signal is weak and likely reflects copy/paste errors rather than a real amenity.
There is no strong public-remark evidence of a clubhouse at Discovery Bay. The listings consistently describe resort-style amenities such as pool, fitness room, sauna, whirlpool, and BBQ areas, but not a clubhouse or community center. The low MLS frequency also suggests this checkbox is likely unreliable or erroneous.
No analysis available
I do not see meaningful public-remark support for a dog park or dedicated pet area. The listings only reference pets generally in a few cases, which is not enough to confirm a dog park amenity, and the MLS signal is too weak to trust.
Doorman service is not supported by the provided remarks. Across the listings, the building is repeatedly described with security-related staffing—"security guards," "resident manager," and "secured entry"—but not as having a doorman or lobby attendant. The current MLS data also shows only 1/20 listings with DOORMA, which is not enough to overcome the repeated negative evidence.
Exercise facilities are repeatedly described across many listings, including “workout room,” “fitness room,” “fitness center,” “gym,” “weight room,” and “2 exercise rooms.” The evidence is strong across multiple listings and agents rather than relying solely on copied checkbox data.
No analysis available
Listings consistently advertise pool, spa, fitness, sauna, BBQ and sun/recreation decks but do not mention any 'meeting room' or 'conference room' in public remarks. Given the absence in remarks across dozens of listings, there's high confidence the building does not offer a dedicated meeting/conference room.
Patio/deck amenities are overwhelmingly supported across the building: 17 of 20 current listings include PATDEC/COVPAT, and many remarks from multiple listings describe shared outdoor areas such as the 'very large deck,' 'BBQ patio,' 'sun deck,' 'recreation deck,' and 'pool deck.' The repeated references to common pool, BBQ, recreation, and sunning decks across different agents strongly indicate a legitimate building amenity rather than isolated or copied unit-specific claims.

The building's shared recreation amenity is repeatedly described as a "recreation deck," "large recreation area," "recreation/sunning area," or similar sun deck. Although it is checked in fewer MLS listings than some other amenities, the repeated explicit remarks across multiple listings establish that it exists.
Public remarks do not provide clear evidence of a dedicated recreation room. Most mentions are of a 'recreation deck,' 'recreation area,' or 'sunning area,' which is different from a true rec room. Historical MLS support is only medium, so this remains weak/uncertain.
Restaurant/dining access is supported by both the MLS data and the remarks. Several listings say there are 'restaurants located on the ground floor' or 'restaurants and shops downstairs,' which suggests an in-building or immediately attached dining component.
No analysis available
Sauna facilities are confirmed across many listings, including references to "sauna," "dry heat sauna," and separate men's and women's saunas. The repeated detailed descriptions across agents strongly support a common building amenity.
Storage is clearly supported across many Discovery Bay listings, with several explicit references to building storage such as “bike & surfboard storage,” “storage rooms,” and “storage units available on a wait list basis.” This appears consistently across multiple agents and unit types rather than a one-off copy/paste error, so buyers can reasonably expect storage/locker options in the building.
Multiple listings explicitly confirm surfboard or board storage, sometimes alongside bicycle storage. This is direct and repeated evidence that the building provides surfboard storage.
No analysis available
No supplied public remarks explicitly mention a “trash chute,” “garbage chute,” or “refuse chute.” Nevertheless, the feature is consistently marked in every current listing and has previously been treated as high-confidence building data, so it is retained.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly confirm this feature through terms including “whirlpool,” “hot tub,” “jacuzzi,” “hot tub spa,” and “heated whirlpool.” The consistency across numerous listings and the 19/20 MLS presence provide very strong evidence.
The pool is explicitly mentioned across well over 15 listings, with consistent descriptions from multiple agents such as “heated swimming pool,” “sparkling pool,” “11th-floor pool deck,” and “large swimming pool.” The evidence is overwhelmingly strong and confirms a shared building amenity rather than an isolated or copy-paste-only claim.
Heated pool is explicitly mentioned in many current remarks, including phrases like 'heated pool,' 'heated swimming pool,' and 'spacious heated whirlpool' alongside the pool amenity. The evidence is strong across multiple listings and agents, making this a reliable building-level feature.
A pool is well documented, but none of the public remarks identifies it as salt water. No evidence supports the salt-water pool feature.
More than 30 listings explicitly mention in-unit laundry, including "washer/dryer in the unit," "full-size in-unit washer/dryer," "stacked washer/dryer," and "washer and dryer inside the unit." The evidence is strong across numerous distinct remarks and is consistent with the current MLS data showing WASHER/DRYER in inclusions for 19 of 20 listings.
No analysis available
The remarks primarily describe in-unit laundry and do not identify a shared laundry facility requiring payment. No evidence supports paid community laundry.
The remarks mention many units with in-unit washers and dryers but do not describe community laundry facilities on every floor. No explicit evidence supports this feature.
Parking is clearly present throughout the building. Many listings explicitly mention "assigned parking stall," "covered parking," "garage parking," or "parking space," and the current MLS data shows parking features on all 20/20 listings. This is strong, repeated evidence across multiple remarks and listings.
Assigned parking is strongly established: 17 of 20 current listings mark ASSIGN in parking_features, while many remarks independently state “1 assigned parking stall,” “one assigned parking space,” or identify specific assigned stalls. The evidence appears across numerous listings and agents, not merely a single copied description, so the building should be treated as offering assigned/reserved parking.
At least 18 of 20 current listings indicate covered or garage parking, while many independent remarks explicitly state 'covered parking,' 'covered and secured parking,' 'covered parking stall,' or 'parking in the secure garage.' This consistent evidence across numerous units and agents confirms that the building offers covered parking.
Many listings establish that units may have assigned or included parking stalls. However, assigned or included parking does not by itself prove that the stall is deeded, and no explicit “deeded parking” or “owned parking” language was found.
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for parking-fee language such as monthly parking charges, parking rental, or additional parking costs. They mention assigned, covered, secured, and optional parking, but do not identify a parking fee.
Guest parking has limited but credible support at Discovery Bay. The current MLS data shows only a minority of listings checking GUEST (4/20), but a public remark explicitly says 'Pay guest parking is available,' which supports the feature without making it look universal.
Secured-entry parking is well supported at Discovery Bay. Multiple remarks reference 'secured entry,' 'secured building,' 'secured lobby,' and 'secured covered parking,' suggesting the parking area and building access are protected rather than open. The consistency across many listings indicates this is not just checkbox noise and should be treated as a real building feature.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for “parking waitlist,” “parking waiting list,” and similar terminology. No parking waitlist was found, while one listing specifically refers only to a storage waitlist.
No analysis available
The building clearly has general security measures, but the remarks do not specify card or fob access. Secured entry alone is insufficient to establish this feature.
Security service is overwhelmingly confirmed across the building: well over 20 listings explicitly mention “security guard,” “security guards,” or “24-hour/24-7 security,” often alongside secured entry, resident management, cameras, or a secured lobby. The language appears across multiple agents and listing eras, with repeated detailed references such as “building has security guard” and “24/7 security guards,” corroborating the 20/20 MLS amenity data.
The listings provide strong evidence of guards, secured entry, and continuous security coverage. However, they do not state that guards perform patrol service, so security patrol is not supported.
No analysis available
At least 15 listings explicitly mention central air, using phrases including "central A/C," "central air conditioning," and "central AC"; several also state that maintenance fees include central AC or an AC chiller. The evidence is strong across many listings and agents and aligns with the consistent MLS checkbox/inclusion data, confirming building-wide central air conditioning.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Concrete construction is strongly supported by the current MLS data: 19 of 20 listings identify CONCRE as the construction material. Public remarks do not explicitly quote 'concrete construction,' but the consistency across nearly all listings makes this a reliable building feature.
Five of 20 current MLS listings identify DOUWAL, supporting double-wall construction at the MLS-data level. No public remarks mention 'double wall,' 'double-wall construction,' or 'two walls,' so the evidence is less robust and may partly reflect copied checkbox data.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Three of 20 current MLS listings identify STEFRA in the construction materials, while public remarks provide no explicit confirmation. The feature is retained because the historical assessment was high confidence, but the current checklist support is limited and may reflect inconsistent agent data.
Only one of 20 current listings identifies SLAB, and none of the public remarks mention a concrete slab or solid concrete foundation. Despite the sparse current checklist evidence, the prior assessment was high confidence, so the feature is retained pending stronger contradictory evidence.

The remarks strongly and repeatedly describe Discovery Bay as a high-rise / tower building with high-floor units, including references to "two 40-story towers," "11th-floor recreation deck," and many units on upper floors. Across many listings, the above-ground nature of the building is implied consistently by multiple agents rather than by isolated copy-paste language. Current MLS data (5/20 ABOGRO) does not undermine that support.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The listings consistently describe a 30-day minimum rental period. Under the feature rules, a 30-day minimum means short-term rental is not allowed, even though longer-term or monthly rentals are permitted.
The remarks mention nearby hotels, resort-style amenities, and the Hilton Hawaiian Village, but do not describe participation in a hotel rental pool. Because short-term rentals are not allowed, this feature must also be false.
The listings contain no language such as “mandatory hotel pool,” “required to participate,” or “must be in a rental program.” Since STR is not allowed, mandatory hotel-pool participation must also be false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The listings consistently identify December 31, 2039 as the expiration date for the remaining leasehold interest. References to fee-simple purchases or AOAO acquisition before that date do not provide a later lease expiration, so 2039 is used.
The remarks were searched for explicit VA-related language, including “VA approved,” “VA financing,” and “VA loans accepted.” No such mentions were found, so VA approval cannot be supported from the public remarks.
The public remarks repeatedly and explicitly describe full or 100% hurricane insurance coverage. This is strong, consistent evidence that the building is fully insured, supporting a high-confidence true value.
No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly describe secured entry, security guards, resident management, and general building amenities, but these do not establish FLSE passage. No qualifying fire/life-safety language was found, so the feature is set to false with medium confidence under the no-mention rule.
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 strongly supported by 12 of 20 current MLS listings, with many detailed remarks describing direct, panoramic, ocean-facing, harbor, marina, and sunset views. The evidence spans numerous stacks and towers and is reinforced by repeated unit-specific descriptions, not merely generic copy-paste language.
Mountain views are confirmed in 9 of 20 current MLS listings and supported by multiple detailed remarks across different units and stacks. Descriptions consistently reference mountain views, mountain-side orientation, Koolau/Diamond Head scenery, and mauka-facing views.
Diamond Head views are confirmed by multiple listings, including high-floor and corner units, with phrases such as “sweeping high-floor views from iconic Diamond Head to Koko Head” and “STUNNING MAUKA & DIAMOND HEAD VIEWS.” The lower checkbox count appears to reflect inconsistent MLS coding rather than absence of the feature.
City views are strongly supported across the building, with 18 of 20 current listings identifying CITY in their view descriptions. Multiple independent remarks explicitly reference "city views," "city skyline views," "city vistas," and panoramic ocean, harbor, mountain, and city views, indicating this is a genuine building-level offering rather than a single copied description.
Coastline views are supported by 5 of 20 current listings and remarks such as “panoramic coastal and ocean views,” “panoramic coastal views of Honolulu’s South Shore,” and “views of the Pacific Ocean ... and beyond.” The evidence comes from multiple high-floor and corner units, confirming that the building offers coastline-view residences.
Moderate evidence: a few listings explicitly state "view of pool and garden" or reference pool/recreation deck views, implying outlooks over landscaped/courtyard areas for some units. Mentions are sparse and appear in only a small subset of listings, so inclusion is warranted but with moderate confidence.
No analysis available
Marina and harbor views are well supported by 9 of 20 current listings and repeated descriptions such as “Ala Wai Marina views,” “ocean, yacht harbor and sunset views,” and “panoramic yacht harbor, canal, and mountain views.” The feature is available in multiple stacks and is not limited to a single listing.
Sunrise views are supported by 4 of 20 current listings, including remarks stating “morning sun,” “from sunrise to sunset,” “sunrise coffee,” and “Diamond Head and sunrise view.” This appears to be orientation-dependent and available in some units, which is sufficient for the building-level feature.
Sunset views are strongly supported by 7 of 20 listings, with phrases including “stunning ... sunset views,” “enjoy the sunset,” “breathtaking ocean & sunset views,” and “catch the sunset from your couch.” Evidence is distributed across multiple units and view orientations.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly state that Friday night fireworks are visible from inside units, including directly from the living room. This clearly satisfies the requirement for a fireworks view from the building.
No analysis available
Confidence 80%: None of the remarks use the specific neighborhood names 'Hobron' or 'ENA'.
No analysis available
Resident management is strongly confirmed across many listings, with well over 15 remarks using phrases such as “on-site resident manager,” “resident manager,” “long term resident manager,” and “on-site manager.” The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listing periods, not merely an isolated copied checkbox, and aligns with the prior High-confidence assessment.
