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.

I looked for building-wide occupancy descriptions such as "80% owner occupied," "majority owner occupied," or "highly owner occupied" and found no such mention. The current value of 40 is retained because nothing in the remarks confirms or contradicts it.
I searched the public remarks for direct elevator-count language such as "4 elevators," "four elevators," or similar statements and found none. The current value of 4 is kept because there is no evidence to confirm or deny it, even though the building’s 42 floors make multiple elevators plausible.
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 A/C is well supported across the building. Several listings say "central AC," "central air conditioning," or note maintenance fees cover "AC chiller," and the MLS data shows 14/20 listings with ACCEN. This is consistent enough to treat as a building feature rather than isolated copy-paste.
Cable inclusion is strongly supported at the building level. Multiple remarks explicitly state that dues include "TV Cable," "basic cable," or "Cable," and the current MLS data shows 18/20 listings with CABTV. The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to be genuine, not a one-off agent typo.
There is moderate evidence that maintenance fees include common-area expenses. A number of listings mention "common area expenses" or "other common expenses," while the MLS data shows 9/20 listings with OTCOEX. This supports the feature, but the evidence is less explicit and more mixed than the utility inclusions.
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).
Across dozens of listings for Discovery Bay, maintenance/association fee line items repeatedly mention 'Central AC, Cable, Internet, Hot Water, Water, Sewer' or 'Wi-Fi, basic cable, hot water, sewer, and AC chiller' but no remark states 'gas included' or 'gas in HOA fees'. While 4 of 20 current MLS records have the GAS checkbox set (suggesting some agents checked it), there is no corroborating language in the public remarks — evidence points to isolated checkbox entries rather than a building-level feature. Confidence remains high that gas is not included in maintenance fees.
Hot water inclusion is repeatedly confirmed. Listings explicitly say maintenance fees include "hot water" or "hot water paid thru MF," and the MLS data shows 14/20 listings with HOTWAT and 0/20 with WTRHTR. This is strong building-level evidence.
Internet service appears to be a standard included building expense. Multiple remarks explicitly mention "WiFi and basic cable" or say maintenance fees include "Internet," and the MLS data shows 16/20 listings with INTSER. The consistency across many listings makes this highly reliable.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is one of the strongest confirmed fee items in the building. Several listings plainly say maintenance fees include "sewer," and the MLS data shows 18/20 listings with SEWER. The repeated phrasing suggests this is a true building-level inclusion.
Water inclusion is strongly confirmed across the listings. Many remarks state that maintenance fees include "water," and the MLS data shows 18/20 listings with WATER. This is consistent, high-confidence building-level evidence.
BBQ/grilling facilities are clearly present throughout the building. Multiple listings mention 'BBQ area,' 'BBQ patio,' 'BBQ grills,' and '8 BBQ stations,' often alongside other resort amenities. The consistency across many remarks suggests a real shared building feature.

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
No listings explicitly mention a dog park, dog run, or dedicated pet exercise area (0/ many public remarks). Two listings reference pets generally (e.g., "Pet Friendly Bldg." and "2 cats allowed"), but there are zero explicit phrases like "dog park" or "dog run." The DGPRK checkbox appears in only 2/20 MLS entries and likely reflects copy/paste errors rather than a true shared amenity, so evidence does not support including a dog park for this building.
Doorman service is not supported by the current listing remarks. Across the provided remarks, the building is repeatedly described as having security guards, secured entry, and resident management, but there are no references to a doorman, lobby attendant, or door attendant. The lone MLS amenity check is too weak to override the absence of supporting remarks.
Exercise facilities are consistently confirmed at Discovery Bay. Across the remarks, many listings mention 'fitness room,' 'fitness center,' 'gym,' or 'exercise rooms,' with repeated references from multiple agents. This appears to be a stable building amenity rather than copy-paste error.
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 strongly supported across the listings. Dozens of remarks mention shared outdoor spaces such as a "recreation deck," "sun deck," "BBQ deck/patio," and unit lanais/covered lanais, indicating the building offers outdoor amenity space that buyers would expect. The evidence is broad and repeated across many listings, suggesting a true building feature rather than MLS checkbox noise.

The building has a shared recreation/amenity deck area. Listings repeatedly reference 'recreation deck,' 'recreation/sunning area,' 'sun deck,' and 'large recreation area,' which supports a true value with strong but not universal coverage.
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.
There is building-level evidence for restaurant/dining access within the complex. Multiple remarks mention 'restaurants located on the ground floors,' 'eateries and businesses,' and 'on-site dining' nearby, suggesting a real commercial-dining component associated with the property.
No analysis available
Sauna is a confirmed building amenity. Multiple listings describe it directly, including specific references like 'Dry Heat Sauna' and 'Men's and Women's saunas,' which strongly supports the amenity being shared and real. The repeated mentions across many listings make this a high-confidence feature.
Storage is supported by multiple public remarks, including explicit building-level language: "Storage units available on a wait list basis" and "bike & board storage all included." Another remark also notes "surfboard and bicycle storage available." This is consistent with prior MLS signals showing storage in amenities, and it does not look like a one-off copy-paste error.
At least two remarks directly identify surfboard/board storage facilities. The mentions are explicit and repeated, so this feature is strongly supported by the public remarks.
No analysis available
Trash chute is strongly confirmed by the MLS data: all 20/20 listings include TRACHU. Public remarks do not usually call it out, but there is no counter-evidence in the listings. This appears to be a stable building feature rather than a copy-paste artifact.

Whirlpool/hot tub/spa amenities are well established at Discovery Bay. Many listings explicitly say 'whirlpool,' 'jacuzzi,' or 'hot tub,' and the wording appears across multiple towers and agents. This is strong building-level confirmation.
The building clearly has a shared pool. Across the provided remarks, the pool is mentioned in many listings, often alongside other common amenities, and the MLS history is extremely strong (20/20 listings with pool-related amenities). The repeated language from multiple agents appears consistent and not like a one-off copy error.
There is strong evidence the building has a heated pool. Multiple listings explicitly describe it as a "heated pool" or "heated swimming pool," and the MLS history supports this with several HEAPOO amenity flags. The evidence is repeated across many remarks and appears consistent rather than copied from a single listing.
I searched for wording like "salt water pool," "saltwater pool," and "saline pool." The remarks mention multiple pools and hot tubs/whirlpools, including heated pools, but nothing indicates the pool is salt water. The feature is therefore not evidenced in the public remarks.
Very strong evidence that Discovery Bay units offer in-unit laundry. Dozens of current listings explicitly mention it across multiple units and towers, including wording such as "stacked washer/dryer," "in-unit washer/dryer," "washer/dryer inside the unit," and "washer and dryer in the unit." The consistency across many listings and different agents suggests this is a genuine building feature rather than copy-paste error.
No analysis available
I looked for references to paid shared laundry such as coin-op, coin laundry, card-operated machines, quarters, or laundry fees. The remarks do not describe any paid community laundry system; they mainly mention washer/dryer inside the unit. So there is no public-remark evidence for this feature.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like "laundry on each floor," "laundry room on every floor," and similar shared-laundry descriptions. The listings consistently describe in-unit washer/dryer instead, but do not mention a community laundry room on every floor. Based on the remarks, this feature is not supported.
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/reserved parking is strongly confirmed across the building. At least dozens of remarks use phrases like 'assigned parking stall,' 'secured assigned parking stall,' 'reserved parking stall,' and 'one assigned parking space,' consistent with the current MLS data showing 17/20 listings with ASSIGN in parking_features. The evidence appears broad and repeated across many agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
Covered parking is strongly confirmed throughout the building. Many listings explicitly say 'covered parking stall,' 'secured covered parking,' 'parking in the garage,' or 'secure garage,' matching the current MLS pattern of 16/20 listings with covered-parking codes. The consistency across many listings and agents makes this highly reliable.
I looked for phrases like deeded parking, owned stall, parking included in the deed, or parking included with the unit. The remarks consistently describe assigned or secured parking, but there is no explicit deeded-parking language.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for terms like "parking fee," "monthly parking charge," "parking rent," "additional parking cost," and similar wording. The listings mention covered/assigned parking stalls and secured parking repeatedly, but none state a separate monthly parking fee or an amount.
Some listings mention guest parking: 6 of 20 MLS checkbox records include GUEST and a few public remarks note 'pay guest parking is available' or similar. Evidence is present but limited to a subset of listings and therefore confidence is moderate.
Secured parking/building access is well supported. Multiple listings describe "secured entry," "secured garage," "secured lobby," "gated security," or "24/7 security," and the MLS data shows SECENT in 11/20 listings. The repeated language across listings indicates this is a real building-level security feature.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for phrases such as "parking waitlist," "parking waiting list," and "join waitlist for parking," and found no evidence that parking is managed by a waitlist. The only waitlist language in the remarks refers to storage units, which does not support a parking waitlist feature.
No analysis available
I looked for public remarks describing card/fob access security systems, including keycard entry or electronic access. The listings do describe a secure building with secured entry, secured lobby, and 24-hour security, but none explicitly mention card-based access. Without that explicit language, this feature is not supported.
Security guard service is strongly supported for Discovery Bay. Across the provided remarks, well over a dozen listings explicitly mention "24-hour security," "24/7 security," "security guards," or similar wording, including references to secured entry, resident manager, and video monitoring. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and does not look like a single copy-paste outlier.
I searched for patrol-related language such as "security patrol," "roving security," and "patrolled building." The remarks consistently reference 24-hour security, guards, and resident management, but not patrol service. So there is no direct public-remark evidence for security patrol.
No analysis available
Strong, consistent evidence that Discovery Bay has building-wide central air conditioning. At least 15 current remarks explicitly mention "central AC," "central A/C," "central air conditioning," or that maintenance fees include "AC chiller," and several listings note it alongside other standard building amenities. The repetition across many different listings/agents suggests this is real building-level infrastructure rather than a copy-paste error.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Concrete construction is strongly supported. The MLS data shows 19 of 20 current listings with CONCRE in construction materials, and the remarks across many listings are consistent with a substantial high-rise tower property rather than a wood-frame building.
There is no public-remark support for double wall construction. Across the many listings reviewed, not a single remark mentions 'double wall,' 'double-wall,' or a similar construction description, while the MLS data only shows 6 of 20 listings checked—too weak to trust.
No analysis available
No analysis available
A minority of MLS records (4 of 20) list 'STEEL FRAME', but none of the public remarks explicitly mention 'steel frame' or 'steel frame construction.' This weak, checklist-only signal could be accurate for some units or reflect inconsistent agent checkbox usage; confidence is low.
There is minimal checklist evidence (3 of 20 listings) for a concrete slab foundation and no public remarks reference 'concrete slab' or 'solid concrete foundation.' Given the absence of any descriptive confirmation across agent remarks and the low occurrence in MLS checkboxes, slab foundation is unlikely to be a building-level feature.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Above-ground construction is well supported by the public remarks. Multiple listings reference high-floor units, towers, and a multi-story high-rise setting, which is consistent with an above-ground building; this appears repeatedly across many agents rather than a one-off copy-paste.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks clearly allow rentals, but only with a 30-day minimum. That means short-term rentals in the nightly/weekly sense are not allowed, but long-term/30-day-plus rentals are permitted.
I searched for hotel pool language such as hotel rental pool, managed by hotel, or branded rental program references and found none. The listings only describe standard building amenities and rental flexibility, so this remains false.
I looked for language indicating required participation in a rental program or a mandatory hotel pool and found nothing. The remarks emphasize owner flexibility and do not suggest any compulsory pooling arrangement.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The lease expiry year is repeatedly and consistently stated across the listings as 2039. I found no later extension or renewal date that would override this, so 2039 is the best-supported value.
I searched the remarks for explicit VA loan approval language such as "VA approved" or "VA financing" and found none. The listings discuss fee simple/leasehold status, rental rules, and parking, but do not indicate VA eligibility.
The remarks repeatedly and directly state that the building is fully insured, including strong wording like '100% hurricane insurance coverage' and 'Full Hurricane Insurance.' This is clear enough to set the feature to true with very high confidence.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for explicit fire/life safety wording such as "FLSE passed," "passed fire inspection," "life safety compliant," or "fire safety certified" and found nothing. Since there is no current value provided and no positive evidence in the remarks, this remains unconfirmed.

Ocean views are clearly a building feature at Discovery Bay. The remarks include many explicit mentions such as "solid ocean and Waikiki views," "panoramic ocean views," "Pacific Ocean," and "ocean, harbor, and sunset views." The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and does not look like a one-off MLS checkbox error.
Strong, repeated evidence confirms mountain views in Discovery Bay. Multiple listings explicitly mention "mountain views," "Mauka & Diamond Head views," "Ko'olau mountains," and "mountain breezes," suggesting this is a real building feature rather than copy-paste noise. Roughly 20+ remarks reference mountain or mauka views in some form.
Diamond Head views are clearly supported across many listings. Remarks include phrases like "Diamond Head to Koko Head," "Mauka & Diamond Head views," "Diamond Head and Ocean Views," and "Diamond Head view unit," showing this is a real and recurring building orientation. The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and stacks.
City views are strongly confirmed for Discovery Bay. A large number of listings explicitly mention "city views," "city skyline," "Honolulu city living," and combinations like "city, mountain, and canal views," indicating this is a common and legitimate feature. The volume and consistency of mentions across many listings make this highly reliable.
Coastline views are supported by multiple remarks, including "panoramic coastal views" and views spanning Honolulu’s south shore and shoreline. While the exact word "coastline" appears less often than ocean/harbor, the broader coastal-view descriptions are consistent across several listings. This is strong evidence that some units offer coastline-facing outlooks.
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/harbor views are clearly present in the building. Listings repeatedly mention "yacht harbor," "Ala Wai Harbor," "marina views," and "ocean, harbor, and sunset views," with several corner and high-floor units specifically highlighting this orientation. This appears across multiple agents and unit stacks, not just isolated remarks.
Sunrise views appear to be available in some units, though less consistently than ocean or marina views. A smaller set of remarks references "sunrise view," "morning sun," and east-facing enjoyment, indicating genuine but selective building exposure. This is moderate-to-strong evidence rather than universal across all units.
Sunset views are repeatedly advertised at Discovery Bay, especially for certain stacks and high-floor corner units. The remarks include direct phrases like "sunset views," "enjoy the sunset," "breathtaking Hawaiian sunsets," and "Friday night fireworks." This appears to be a genuine feature for select units/orientations rather than an MLS mistake.
No analysis available
Multiple listings clearly say fireworks are visible from units in the building, not just nearby. The wording is explicit about watching Friday night fireworks from living rooms or from the building, so this feature is strongly supported.
No analysis available
Confidence 80%: None of the remarks use the specific neighborhood names 'Hobron' or 'ENA'.
No analysis available
Resident manager is strongly supported for Discovery Bay. Across the provided remarks, many listings explicitly mention "resident manager," "on-site management," or "resident management," often alongside other building staff and security. The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and listing types, reinforcing that this is a real building feature.
