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.

I searched for aggregate ownership indicators such as "80% owner occupied," "majority owner occupied," or similar building-wide statements and found none. The remarks include unit-level ownership references, but those do not support changing the current building owner-occupancy value, so I am keeping 40% with low confidence.
I searched the public remarks for explicit elevator-count language such as "4 elevators," "four elevators," or a clear building-wide elevator description and found none. Because the current value already exists, I am keeping 4, but with low confidence since the remarks do not confirm or deny it.
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 confirmed for this building. Current remarks repeatedly mention "central AC," "central air conditioning," and "AC chiller," and several listings say the fee covers it directly. This is strong, repeated evidence across many listings.
Cable inclusion is strongly confirmed across the building. Multiple listings explicitly state that maintenance fees include 'basic cable' or 'TV Cable,' and the historical MLS data shows the CABTV code in 19 of 20 listings. This looks like a consistent building-level inclusion rather than isolated agent copy-paste.
Common-area expenses appear to be included, though the wording is less specific than for the other fee items. Several listings mention 'common area expenses' or 'other common expenses,' and the MLS pattern shows OTCOEX in 11 of 20 listings. Evidence is solid but not as explicit as cable, water, or sewer.
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 not supported by the public remarks. I only found references to gas grills at the BBQ area, not maintenance fees paying for gas service, and the current MLS has only 2/20 checkbox hits. This appears much weaker than the other fee items and likely reflects agent copy/paste rather than a building-wide benefit.
Hot water inclusion is strongly and repeatedly confirmed. Multiple listings explicitly list 'hot water' among the maintenance-fee-covered items, and the MLS data shows HOTWAT in 17 of 20 listings. One listing notes WTRHTR elsewhere in the building, but the overall evidence still strongly supports hot water being included.
Internet service appears to be standard in the building’s maintenance fee. Remarks repeatedly say "WiFi and basic cable are included" or list internet among fee-covered items. The evidence is strong across multiple listings and consistent with the MLS data.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is very strongly supported across the building. Several listings directly say the maintenance fee includes sewer, and the MLS data shows SEWER in 19 of 20 listings. This is consistent across many agents and remarks.
Water inclusion is strongly and repeatedly confirmed. Current remarks explicitly list water among the fee-covered items, and the MLS data shows WATER in 19 of 20 listings. The evidence is broad and consistent across the building.
BBQ is very well supported throughout the public remarks. Multiple listings explicitly say "BBQ area," "8 BBQ stations," "gas grills," and "BBQ grills," and the MLS checkbox signal is also strong (17/20). This appears to be a consistent building-wide amenity rather than copy-paste noise.

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 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 clearly a shared building amenity. Multiple listings mention 'fitness center,' 'gym,' 'workout room,' and '2 exercise rooms,' showing consistent evidence across many agents rather than a one-off copy-paste.
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 for Discovery Bay. Across the provided remarks, dozens of listings mention a lanai or deck space, including explicit phrases such as "private lanai," "spacious lanai," "covered lanai," "enclosed lanai," "sun deck," "recreation deck," and "BBQ patio/area." The evidence is consistent across many listings and multiple agents, so this feature should be treated as present.

The building’s shared recreation amenity is confirmed by numerous listings describing a "recreation deck," "expansive recreation deck," "recreation area," and "recreation/sunning area." The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and aligns with the MLS signal (10/20).
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 is a well-supported shared amenity at the building. Many listings explicitly mention "sauna," including variants like "dry heat sauna" and "men's and women's saunas," which aligns with the strong MLS pattern (15/20).
Storage is strongly supported across many listings, not just MLS checkbox data. Multiple remarks explicitly mention "bike & surfboard storage," "storage rooms," "lots of storage," and "generous storage space," which appears consistently across different agents and stacks. This is strong building-level evidence that storage units/lockers or extra storage are available.
The remarks clearly confirm surfboard storage facilities in the building. Multiple listings explicitly mention surfboard storage, often paired with bike storage, making this feature well supported.
No analysis available
Trash chute appears to be a confirmed building-wide amenity based on unanimous MLS checkbox data (20/20). It is rarely called out in remarks, but there is no evidence suggesting it was removed, so it remains highly reliable.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Whirlpool/spa amenities are repeatedly and explicitly confirmed in the remarks. Listings use direct terms such as "whirlpool," "hot tub," "jacuzzi," and "spa" across many units, matching the strong MLS signal (17/20).
Pool is strongly confirmed for Discovery Bay. Across dozens of current remarks, agents consistently mention building amenities such as "pool," "swimming pool," and "resort-style amenities," indicating this is a shared building feature rather than a unit-specific claim. The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears well-established rather than copy-paste noise.
Heated pool is strongly confirmed at Discovery Bay. Multiple current listings explicitly state "heated pool" or "heated swimming pool," and the feature appears repeatedly across different remarks and agents. This is strong, consistent building-level evidence with no sign it has changed.
I searched for direct wording like "saltwater pool," "salt pool," or "saline pool." The remarks mention heated pools, sparkling pools, and pool decks, but do not identify the pool as salt water.
In-unit laundry is overwhelmingly supported for this building. Dozens of current remarks explicitly mention it, including phrases like 'full-size in-unit washer/dryer,' 'washer/dryer inside the unit,' 'washer and dryer are conveniently located inside the unit,' and 'W/D in unit.' The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to be a genuine building feature, not a copy-paste anomaly.
No analysis available
I looked for public remarks suggesting paid shared laundry, such as coin-op, quarter-operated, card-operated, or laundry fees. The listings repeatedly describe in-unit washer/dryers instead, and I found no evidence of a paid community laundry setup.
I searched the public remarks for explicit references to community laundry on every floor, including phrases like "laundry on each floor" or "laundry room on every floor." The remarks mention in-unit washers/dryers many times, but nothing indicates floor-by-floor shared laundry facilities.
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 supported across many Discovery Bay listings, with dozens of remarks using explicit phrases such as "1 assigned parking stall," "assigned covered parking stall," "reserved parking stall," and "designated/secured assigned parking." The evidence is consistent across multiple towers and appears in both agent remarks and building-level descriptions, not just copy-paste checkbox data.
Covered parking is very strongly confirmed for Discovery Bay. Many listings explicitly describe "covered parking," "assigned covered parking stall," "secure garage," and parking stalls near elevators or on the same floor, showing this is a building feature available to buyers.
I looked for explicit language indicating deeded or owned parking, such as 'deeded parking,' 'owned stall,' or 'parking included in deed.' The remarks repeatedly mention assigned, covered, secured, or same-floor parking, but that does not establish deeded ownership.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for any monthly parking charge, parking rental fee, or additional cost tied to parking. The listings mention assigned, covered, and secured parking, but I found no evidence of a separate 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 is well supported by repeated remarks describing Discovery Bay as a "secured building" with "secured entry," "secured lobby," "security guards," and "video monitoring." While some listings use broader building-security language rather than parking-only wording, the consistent references across many remarks make the secured parking/entry feature highly credible.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for any reference to a parking waitlist or waiting list system and found none. The only waitlist language in the remarks relates to storage, not parking.
No analysis available
I looked for card/fob access language such as key card access, fob entry, or electronic card readers. The remarks do describe secured entry, locked lobbies, guards, and video monitoring, but nothing specifically confirms a card-based access system.
Security guard service is strongly supported for this building. Across the provided remarks, dozens of listings explicitly mention "24/7 security," "24-hour security," "security guard," "resident manager, security guard," and similar wording, appearing consistently across multiple agents rather than as a one-off. This aligns with the current MLS data showing 19/20 listings with SECGUA in amenities.
I searched for references to patrol service or roving security and found none. The remarks consistently mention security guards, 24-hour security, secured entry, and resident management, but not building patrols.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is very strongly supported for Discovery Bay. Across the provided remarks, many listings explicitly mention "central A/C," "central air conditioning," or note that the maintenance fee includes Central AC, showing consistent confirmation from multiple sources and unit types. The evidence is broad and repeated, making this a high-confidence building feature.

No analysis available
Concrete construction is strongly supported by the MLS record, with 18 of 20 listings showing CONCRE. The public remarks repeatedly describe Discovery Bay as a high-rise condominium tower with amenities typical of concrete construction, and there is no contradictory remark evidence. This appears to be stable building-level data rather than agent copy-paste noise.
There is no public-remark support for double-wall construction across the listings reviewed. Although 5 of 20 current MLS entries have DOUWAL checked, the absence of any corroborating remarks suggests this is likely erroneous or copied without verification. On the available evidence, the building should not be treated as having confirmed double-wall construction.
No analysis available
No analysis available
No public remarks explicitly say "steel frame" or "steel frame construction" across the listings reviewed. A small minority of MLS records (3/20) now show STEFRA, but the narrative remarks appear to be generic high-rise descriptions and not confirmation of the structural system. This looks more like copied MLS checkbox data than verified building construction.
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.

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
The remarks clearly support short-term rental eligibility at the 30-day level. Several listings explicitly say 30-day rentals are allowed, so STR is supported from the public remarks.
I searched for hotel pool or hotel rental program language and found none. Since the remarks do not mention any hotel pool participation, this is not supported.
I looked for indications that owners must join a rental pool or cannot opt out, and found none. The remarks instead emphasize flexibility of use, which argues against a mandatory pool requirement.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The listings consistently reference the lease expiration as December 31, 2039. I found no later extension or revised expiry year, so 2039 is the supported lease-end year.
I searched the public remarks for explicit VA-related language such as 'VA approved,' 'VA financing,' and 'VA loans accepted' and found none. Based on the available remarks, there is no evidence that the building is VA loan approved.
The remarks repeatedly and explicitly indicate full insurance coverage, which is strong evidence the building is fully insured from the HOA perspective. This is a direct match to the requested feature and is stated in multiple listings.
No analysis available
I looked for building-level fire/life safety compliance language, including FLSE-related terms and passing inspection statements, but found nothing in the remarks. With no evidence provided, this remains unconfirmed and is set to false at low confidence based on absence of mention.
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 very well supported for Discovery Bay. Across the provided remarks, many listings explicitly mention phrases like 'stunning ocean views,' 'panoramic ocean views,' 'ocean-facing,' and 'water views,' including multiple stack/unit-specific references. The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to be broad building-level marketing rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
Mountain views are strongly confirmed across Discovery Bay. Historical MLS data shows 10/20 listings with mountain in the view description, and current remarks across many agents repeatedly mention 'mountain views,' 'mauka view,' 'cool side,' and even 'Ko'olau mountains.' This is not a single-agent anomaly; the same feature appears throughout the building's listings.
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 abundantly supported throughout the listings for Discovery Bay. Many remarks explicitly reference 'city views,' 'city skyline,' and combinations like 'ocean, harbor, and city views' or 'mountain, city, and canal views,' showing this is a common feature across units. The repeated phrasing across numerous listings indicates strong building-level support rather than isolated marketing language.
Coastline views are supported by multiple listing remarks, though they appear less often than ocean views. Several descriptions reference "panoramic coastal views of Honolulu's South Shore" and similar shoreline-facing outlooks, indicating this is a real building-level view type. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and not limited to a single agent.
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 available in Discovery Bay. Multiple remarks mention 'Ala Wai Marina,' 'yacht harbor,' 'harbor and ocean views,' and 'Ala Wai Boat Harbor,' showing this is a real and recurring feature rather than a copy-paste error. The evidence is spread across several listings and stacks, so buyers searching for marina views would בהחלט find applicable units here.
Sunrise views appear to be available in some units, though not as consistently as other views. Several listings explicitly reference 'sunrise views,' 'morning sun,' or 'city, mountain sunrise views,' indicating this is a genuine feature for at least some stacks/orientations. The evidence is solid enough to include, but it is more selective than the other view types.
Sunset views are repeatedly advertised for Discovery Bay units, though less frequently than ocean or city views. Several remarks explicitly say 'sunset view,' 'take in breathtaking evening sunsets,' or reference 'Friday night fireworks' and western-facing enjoyment, which supports the feature at building level. The evidence is moderate-to-strong and appears in multiple independent listings rather than a single source.
No analysis available
Multiple remarks directly confirm fireworks views from units, not just proximity to fireworks. This is strong, repeated evidence that Friday night fireworks are visible from the building.
No analysis available
Confidence 80%: None of the remarks use the specific neighborhood names 'Hobron' or 'ENA'.
No analysis available
This feature is strongly supported. The building is mentioned in many current remarks as having a "resident manager," "on-site management," or "resident management," and the MLS history shows 20/20 listings with RESMAN in amenities. Evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and is not just a one-off copy-paste mention.
