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 building-wide occupancy descriptions like "80% owner occupied" or similar wording and found none. The current value of 40% is therefore retained, but only at low confidence because the remarks do not confirm or deny it.
I searched the remarks for direct elevator-count language and found none. Since the current value is already provided, I kept 4 and did not infer a change from the building's size or from generic mentions of elevators.
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 at the building level. Several remarks directly say 'central AC' or that dues include it, and the MLS data is strongly aligned (16/20 listings). The repeated wording across listings suggests common copy-paste phrasing, but the feature is still clearly confirmed.
Cable service appears to be a standard building inclusion. Multiple remarks explicitly state maintenance fees include 'Cable TV' or 'basic cable,' and this matches the strong MLS pattern (17/20 listings with CABTV). The evidence is consistent across many listings and reads like boilerplate copied by multiple agents, but it is still strongly corroborated.
There is moderate evidence that maintenance fees include common-area expenses. A number of listings mention 'common area expenses' or 'other common expenses,' which supports this feature, though not as consistently as the utility items. The language appears in several remarks and is not limited to a single agent.

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 strongly confirmed across the listings. Multiple remarks explicitly say maintenance fees include 'hot water' or 'hot water paid thru MF,' matching the strong MLS data (15/20 HOTWAT). This is one of the most consistently supported fee items in the building.
Internet service appears to be an established included expense in this building. Several remarks say 'WiFi and basic cable are included' or 'maintenance fee includes ... Internet,' and the MLS data is highly consistent (17/20). The evidence is strong and repeated across multiple listings.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is one of the strongest confirmed fee items in the building. Many remarks plainly say sewer is included, and the MLS data supports it at 18/20 listings. This is highly consistent across the dataset.
Water inclusion is strongly confirmed across the listings. Numerous remarks say maintenance fees include water, and the MLS data shows 18/20 listings with WATER included. The evidence is very strong and consistent.
BBQ/grilling facilities are clearly a building-level amenity. Remarks across many listings reference 'BBQ area,' 'BBQ grills,' 'gas BBQ grills,' 'BBQ patio,' and '8 BBQ stations,' confirming the feature well beyond copy-paste noise. The evidence is widespread and consistent across multiple agents.

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 across the building. Multiple remarks mention 'gym,' 'fitness center,' 'fitness room,' 'exercise rooms,' and 'workout room,' showing this is a shared amenity rather than a one-off agent error. Evidence is strong across many listings and appears repeatedly in different phrasing.
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 patio,' plus unit-level lanais that function as patio/deck space. The evidence is consistent across many listings and agents, not just copy-paste in a single remark.

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 solid building-level evidence for restaurant/dining access within the complex. Multiple remarks mention 'restaurants on the ground floors,' 'commercial spaces,' and 'eateries and businesses located on the ground floor,' which supports this as a shared feature. The evidence is not universal across all listings, but it is repeated enough to confirm the amenity.
No analysis available
Sauna is a confirmed shared amenity. Listings repeatedly mention 'sauna,' including more specific descriptions like 'Dry Heat Sauna' and 'Men's and Women's saunas,' which strongly supports the feature. The recurrence across multiple remarks suggests stable building amenities rather than copied checkbox noise.
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.
The remarks clearly confirm surfboard storage facilities. Several listings explicitly state surfboard/board storage is available, making this a strong positive match.
No analysis available
Trash chute is strongly supported by the MLS data, with all 20/20 listings including TRACHU. Public remarks do not usually call it out, but the unanimous amenity checkbox across listings provides very high confidence that the building has a trash chute system. No contrary evidence appears in the remarks.

Whirlpool/hot tub/spa amenities are well established in the building. Numerous remarks explicitly call out 'whirlpool,' 'jacuzzi,' 'hot tub,' and 'spa,' often alongside the pool and sundeck. This appears consistently across many listings and is not limited to a single stack or agent.
Pool is strongly confirmed for the building. The remarks mention it in dozens of listings, often as part of the standard amenity package: 'heated pool,' 'swimming pool,' 'outdoor pool,' and 'sparkling pool.' The repeated mentions across multiple agents and unit types indicate this is a consistent shared building amenity, not a copy-paste outlier.
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 such as "salt water pool" or "saltwater pool" and found no matches. The remarks mention heated pools, pools, jacuzzis, and whirlpools, but do not identify the pool water type.
Evidence is overwhelming that Discovery Bay offers in-unit laundry. Multiple current listings across different towers and unit types explicitly mention "in-unit washer/dryer," "W/D in the unit," or "washer/dryer inside the unit," which strongly confirms the existing high-confidence MLS data rather than suggesting a copy-paste error. This feature should be retained as true.
No analysis available
I looked for any indication that community laundry is paid, including coin laundry, card-operated machines, or quarters, and found no evidence. The listings focus on in-unit laundry in many units, not a paid common laundry facility.
I searched for public remarks describing community laundry on each floor, such as "laundry on every floor" or "laundry room on each floor," but found nothing. The remarks instead repeatedly mention in-unit washer/dryer, which does not support a shared laundry amenity.
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. Dozens of listings mention it explicitly, with wording such as "assigned parking stall," "secured assigned parking," "reserved parking stall," and "one assigned parking". The evidence appears consistent 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," "covered parking space," or "parking in the secure garage," and several note stalls near the elevator or on the same level as the unit. This is consistent across multiple listings and appears to be a real building feature.
I looked for phrases like deeded parking, owned stall, or parking included in the deed. The remarks only describe assigned or covered parking, which does not establish that the parking is deeded.
No analysis available
I searched for parking fee language such as monthly parking charge, parking rent, or additional parking cost. The listings mention parking stalls and secured/covered parking, but no separate parking fee is stated.
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
I looked for parking waitlist or parking waiting list references and found none. The only waitlist mention concerns storage units, so there is no evidence that parking operates on a waitlist system.
No analysis available
I looked for public remarks describing card/fob access, keycard entry, or electronic card readers, but none were found. The listings do mention secured entry, locked lobby, intercom, video monitoring, and security guards, but not a card-based system.
Security guard service is strongly supported for Discovery Bay. In the provided remarks, well over a dozen listings explicitly mention "24/7 security," "24-hour security," "security guard(s)," or similar language, often alongside secured entry, secured lobby, and video monitoring. The evidence is consistent across many different listings and appears to be genuine building-level amenity information rather than isolated copy-paste noise.
I searched for references to patrol service or roving security and found none. The remarks consistently mention 24/7 or 24-hour security, security guards, and secured entry instead.
No analysis available
Strong, repeated evidence across the current remarks confirms building-wide central air conditioning at Discovery Bay. Multiple listings explicitly say "central AC" or note that the maintenance fee includes "Central AC" / "AC chiller," suggesting this is not a copy-paste anomaly but a consistent building feature. Buyers searching for central air should include this building.

Concrete construction is strongly supported by the MLS data: 19 of 20 current listings list CONCRE in construction materials. The public remarks across many listings focus on the tower/high-rise nature of Discovery Bay but do not explicitly mention construction type; there is no contradictory evidence suggesting a change.
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 with a 30-day minimum, which means short-term/nightly STRs are not allowed but longer-term short rentals are permitted. That qualifies as STR allowed under the stated definition because the building permits 30-day minimum rentals.
I searched for hotel pool language such as hotel rental pool, managed by hotel, Hilton pool, or similar branded programs and found nothing. The remarks describe ordinary condominium amenities and rental rules, not a hotel rental pool.
I looked for evidence that all units must participate in a hotel or rental pool, but found none. The listings repeatedly describe owner-occupancy, second-home use, and flexible rental options, which are inconsistent with a mandatory pool.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The lease expiry year is consistently given as 2039 across the remarks. I found no later extension or renewal that would override that date, so 2039 is the best-supported lease expiration year.
I searched the remarks for explicit VA language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted" and found none. The listings instead discuss fee simple/leasehold status, seller financing, and rental rules, which do not indicate VA loan approval.
Multiple remarks directly say the building has full or 100% hurricane insurance coverage. That is strong public-remarks evidence for fully insured walls-in style coverage, so this is set to true with very high confidence.
No analysis available
I looked for explicit fire/life safety wording such as FLSE passed, fire safety certified, or passed fire inspection and found nothing. Because there is no current verified value indicating true, this remains unconfirmed and is treated as not evidenced in the remarks.

Ocean views are strongly confirmed for Discovery Bay. Roughly 20+ listings mention them explicitly, with phrases like 'phenomenal, panoramic Ocean, Harbor, & City views,' 'solid ocean and Waikiki views,' and 'breathtaking panoramic ocean views.' The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and stacks, not just copy-paste from one listing.
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 clearly a building feature at Discovery Bay. Many listings explicitly advertise 'city views,' 'city skyline,' 'city and mountain views,' and 'ocean, harbor, and city views,' showing broad and repeated support. This appears across multiple units and agents, so the feature is well established.
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 for Discovery Bay units, especially higher-floor corner stacks. Several remarks explicitly say 'sunset view,' 'enjoy the sunset after a fun filled day,' 'catch the sunset from your couch,' and 'breathtaking ocean, harbor, and sunset views.' The evidence is strong and comes from multiple listings, not a single agent.
No analysis available
The public remarks clearly confirm fireworks views from units in the building. Multiple listings explicitly say residents can watch Friday night fireworks from their living room or unit, which is exactly the required evidence.
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 at Discovery Bay. Across the provided remarks, many listings explicitly mention 'resident manager,' 'on-site manager,' 'resident management,' or 'full-service management,' and the current MLS data shows RESMAN in 16/20 listings. The evidence is consistent across many different agents/listings and looks more like a true building amenity than a copy-paste error.
