Hale Ka Lae
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 searched all remarks for explicit owner-occupancy figures or common descriptors indicating percentage owner-occupancy but found none. With no explicit statement in the public remarks, the owner-occupancy percentage remains unknown and cannot be inferred.
I searched all public remarks for explicit elevator counts (phrases like '4 elevators', 'four elevators', or 'multiple elevators') but found no explicit number. Without an explicit numeric mention in the remarks, I will not guess the elevator count.

MLS association_fee_includes indicates OTCOEX on 16 of 20 listings (agents commonly check this box). No public remarks explicitly state 'common area electricity' or 'building power included', but many listings reference shared amenities and low maintenance fees. Evidence is mainly from repeated MLS checkbox entries across multiple listings and appears plausible though not explicitly spelled out in remarks (medium confidence).

No listings (0/20) mark HOTWAT as an included association fee, while 12/20 mention WTRHTR (in-unit water heater) in inclusions. Remarks include 'Water is billed back monthly per usage' and specific unit notes referencing a water heater, supporting that hot water is not association-provided or included. Strong, consistent evidence across MLS data and remarks (high confidence).

Very strong evidence: well over a dozen listings mention BBQ facilities using explicit terms such as "BBQ cabanas", "BBQ area", and "BBQ pavilions." Multiple agent remarks consistently include these amenities.

One detailed amenity list includes a "club room" together with a business center, meeting room, and other shared facilities, which corresponds closely to a clubhouse/community room function. MLS CLUHOU selections plus this explicit reference support that the building offers a clubhouse-style common room usable by residents.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: at least a dozen listings explicitly call out a dog park/dog run and related pet amenities ("dog park", "dog spa", "dog grooming room"), with multiple agents independently listing these pet facilities.
No analysis available
Strong evidence across many listings: at least 15 listings reference an on-site gym or fitness center with phrases like "fitness center", "fitness room", or "exercise room." Multiple agents independently list this as a building amenity, indicating it is a building-level feature rather than copy-paste noise.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: well over ten listings explicitly reference meeting or conference rooms ("meeting rooms", "meeting/business room", "meeting spaces"), showing consistent, building-level amenity reporting across listings.
Multiple unit remarks explicitly describe private outdoor spaces: phrases include 'private yard and open lanai', 'outdoor courtyard with direct access to the Great Lawn, and a porch', 'comes with an outdoor deck', and 'private and spacious STORAGE ROOM...ground floor 3 bed...come with an outdoor deck and a yard.' Five of 20 MLS listings have the PATDEC/COVPAT amenity checked and several agents independently mention lanais, yards or decks, indicating the building offers patio/deck amenities for some units.
Little to no evidence in remarks: no listings explicitly state "jogging path" or "walking path" for the building. References are limited to nearby trails or neighborhood access, so on-site jogging path is not supported by the remarks.

Moderate-to-strong evidence: several listings (around seven) refer to a recreation area/park/great lawn or private playground and gated green open space, described repeatedly across agents as building/common recreation space.
At least 5 listings reference recreation-type rooms, including terms like "rec rooms," "versatile party rooms," "party room with deck," "Multifunctional room," and "club room." These repeated mentions across different listings, aligned with MLS RECROO entries, indicate one or more shared recreation/game/party rooms in the building.

At least 8 separate listings explicitly mention storage units or deeded storage (examples: "27 sq. ft. deeded storage space, #S507", "Large storage unit located on the 10th floor", "Spacious 59 sq. ft. storage unit on the 6th floor", "storage unit (#S205)", "Rarely available storage room near the elevators on the top floor. 48 SF"). Multiple agents reference unit numbers and sizes, indicating building-level availability rather than copy/paste error.
Multiple listings explicitly confirm surfboard or board storage as a building amenity, providing strong evidence that surfboard storage exists in the building.
No analysis available
Implied evidence from MLS: a majority of listings select trash chute as an amenity (14 listings), but none of the public remarks explicitly describe a "trash chute" or "garbage chute." The feature is likely present based on repeated MLS entries, though it is implied rather than directly mentioned.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Strong evidence: many listings explicitly describe a hot tub/whirlpool/jacuzzi in the building (phrases like "hot tub", "whirlpool", "jacuzzi"), often listed together with the pool, indicating a building amenity.
Multiple current public remarks explicitly list pool amenities (phrases include "saltwater pool," "large swimming pool," and "swimming pool"), with consistent references across the majority of listings. Historical MLS checkbox data also showed 16/20 listings indicating a pool, and the repeated, specific language across different agent remarks indicates strong, building-level availability rather than an isolated or copy-paste error.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly identify the pool as saltwater/salt water, providing strong evidence the building's pool is a saltwater pool.
Strong evidence that some units have in‑unit laundry: 14/20 current listings include washer/dryer in the inclusions and many remarks explicitly state phrases like "in‑unit washer and dryer" and "washer & dryer in the unit." Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents, so include laundry_in_unit=true with high confidence.
There is reasonable evidence the building offers shared laundry: 11/20 current MLS listings have the community laundry amenity checked and several remarks reference "additional laundry facilities," "laundry facility," or "Community Landry also in the building." While this is a newer feature without prior history, the prevalence of MLS checks plus explicit remarks supports including community_laundry=true.
Remarks mention community/additional laundry but contain no language indicating payment required (e.g., 'coin laundry', 'paid laundry', 'card operated'). Searched for 'coin', 'quarters', 'card', 'paid laundry' with no evidence found.
Listings reference community or additional laundry facilities (e.g., 'Community Landry also in the building') but do not state that laundry is available on every floor. Searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry' with no matches.
No analysis available
Strong evidence that the building offers assigned parking: at least a dozen remarks explicitly state 'assigned' or 'two assigned parking stalls' and historical MLS data showed 17/20 listings with ASSIGN. Multiple listings by different agents consistently reference assigned stalls, indicating this is a building-level feature rather than isolated copy/paste error.
Multiple current remarks explicitly reference covered parking (phrases like 'secured-covered parking stalls', 'Covered Extra Large parking stall', 'Gated and Covered parking stall') and historical MLS data also indicated covered parking in many listings, providing strong, consistent evidence the building has covered parking.
I searched for explicit phrases like 'deeded parking' or 'owned stall' but found only 'assigned', 'covered', and descriptions of parking as Limited Common Elements (conveyed by amendment). No explicit evidence that parking is deeded with the unit.
No analysis available
Searched for terms like 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', or 'parking rent' and found no explicit monthly parking charge in the public remarks.
Evidence for guest parking is moderate: several remarks across different listings mention 'lots of guest parking', 'ample guest parking', and one remark specifies '20 guest stalls'. Although historical MLS flags were present in fewer listings (6/20), the repeated explicit mentions in the public remarks indicate the building does offer guest parking.

Searched for 'waitlist', 'waiting list', or similar wording related to parking and found none. Listings describe assigned stalls and separate LCE sales but do not reference a waitlist.
No analysis available
Public remarks explicitly describe card access for parking/secure areas, indicating the presence of a card/fob electronic access system for at least the parking entrance and likely building access points.
Across all provided remarks, no listing explicitly mentions a security guard, 24-hour security, or on-site security personnel, even when giving long amenity lists. One listing generically lists 'security' among amenities, and others reference an on-site or resident manager and gated areas, which are weaker forms of security. With only 3/20 MLS records checking the SECGUA box and no narrative support, this appears to be checkbox error rather than evidence of actual guard service.
Remarks note on-site resident manager and describe the property as secure, but there is no explicit mention of an active security patrol or roving patrol service. Searched for 'patrol', 'roving security', and similar terms with no results.

13 of 20 current listings include the ACWIUN checkbox indicating window AC units, but none of the public remarks explicitly mention 'window AC', 'window unit', or similar language. Evidence is mixed: the MLS checkbox data (multiple agents/listings) implies some units have window air conditioners, but absence of remarks suggests possible copy/paste—so included for buyers with moderate confidence.
MLS checkbox data is consistent: 19 of 20 current listings list concrete as a construction material. Public remarks explicitly reference a "solid concrete wall" in at least one listing, and no remarks indicate a different primary construction. Given the strong, building-wide MLS consistency plus corroborating remark, concrete construction is highly likely.

Searched for 'short-term rental', 'vacation rental', 'TVU', 'NUC', and '30-day minimum' with no explicit statements found. While the building promotes rental income opportunities, there's no direct evidence that short-term rentals are permitted.
Searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel program', or hotel brand management; none were found. Because STR is not indicated as allowed, hotel pool participation is not supported.
Searched for terms like 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', and 'must be in rental program' with no evidence. Since there's no hotel pool program described, mandatory participation is not indicated.

Searched for phrases like 'lease', 'lease expires', 'land lease to', and specific years; none were found. Likely fee simple in many listings, so no lease expiry year is applicable or stated.
Public remarks repeatedly and explicitly indicate Hale Ka Lae is VA approved and VA-assumable. This provides high confidence that VA financing is accepted for units in the building.
Multiple public remarks explicitly state the association/building is fully insured for hurricanes and compliant with hurricane insurance requirements (examples include '100% hurricane insured' and '100% compliant with hurricane insurance requirements'), giving high confidence that walls-in/full building insurance is in place.
Strong evidence that Hale Ka Lae has a fire sprinkler system: 14/20 current listings have the FIRSPR amenity checked and numerous agent remarks across listings explicitly reference sprinklers (phrases include 'equipped with fire alarm and sprinklers', 'up-to-date sprinkler system', 'no worries about fire sprinkler system'). The consistency across multiple listings and prior high confidence supports a high-confidence true value.
I searched the remarks for phrases such as 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', or 'passed fire inspection' and found none. The remarks do note that the building is equipped with fire alarm and sprinkler systems (e.g., 'fully equipped with a Fire Alarm and sprinkler system'), but that is not an explicit statement that an FLSE was passed.

At least 5–7 listings mention garden/courtyard/landscaped outlooks (quotes include "nice garden view," "outdoor courtyard with direct access to the Great Lawn," "private yard," and references to "lush, gated green space"). Both past high-confidence data and current remarks support that some units enjoy garden views.
No analysis available
Approximately 10–12 listings' remarks explicitly mention marina/waterfront views (e.g., "Enjoy breathtaking views of the marina," "nice views of the Hawaii Kai Marina," "view of the Waterfront, Marina"). Evidence is consistent across multiple agent remarks and listing descriptions, indicating the building offers units with marina views despite the MLS MARCAN checkbox being unused.

Listings describe marina, ocean, Koko Head, Diamond Head and mountain views but do not mention Friday night or other fireworks views from the building. Searched for 'fireworks', 'watch fireworks', and similar phrases with none found.

Moderately strong evidence that Hale Ka Lae has an on-site/resident manager: agent remarks in several listings explicitly state 'on-site resident manager' or 'on-site management' and the RESMAN amenity is checked in 6/20 MLS listings. Multiple independent remarks across different listings indicate this is a building-level service rather than isolated listing copy/paste.
