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 for owner-occupancy clues such as exact percentages or phrases like 'highly owner occupied' and 'majority owner occupied.' The remarks discuss owner-only purchases of storage/parking and mention tenant-occupied units, but they do not provide building-level owner-occupancy data.
I searched the remarks for direct elevator count language such as '4 elevators,' 'multiple elevators,' or any stated total. Nothing in the public remarks gives a number, so the elevator count remains unknown from this evidence.

Common-area electricity appears to be included at Hale Ka Lae. Current MLS data shows 14 of 20 listings with OTCOEX checked, which is strong building-level evidence even though public remarks rarely spell it out. The repeated pattern across many listings suggests this is not just a copy-paste anomaly.

Hot water does not appear to be included in the maintenance fees at Hale Ka Lae. Across the building, 0 of 20 listings have HOTWAT checked and many list WTRHTR instead, with at least one remark explicitly mentioning a 'Water Heater.' The evidence is consistent and strongly suggests the maintenance fee does not cover hot water.

Public remarks explicitly list a separate sewer charge ('Sewer fee monthly (may slightly vary) $65.67'), and remarks elsewhere describe utilities billed back, indicating sewer is not included in the HOA maintenance fee despite a few MLS checkboxes.
Remarks clearly state 'Water is billed back monthly per usage' and other listings reference in-unit water heater; this indicates water is not included in the maintenance fee despite a couple MLS checkboxes indicating otherwise.
Very strong evidence that the building offers shared BBQ/grilling amenities. Many listings mention "BBQ cabanas," "BBQ areas," or "cabanas with BBQ," and the MLS record count is high at about 15 of 20. This is consistent across multiple agents and clearly building-level.

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 building-level evidence for a dog park or similar pet area. Listings repeatedly mention "dog park," "dog run," and even "dog bath station" or "dog spa," with MLS data showing about 13 of 20 records include DGPRK. The repetition across listings supports a real shared pet amenity.
No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence for an exercise room/fitness center at Hale Ka Lae. Multiple listings explicitly say "fitness center," "gym," and "exercise room," and the MLS data is consistent across roughly 13 of 20 records. This looks like reliable shared-amenity evidence rather than a one-off agent copy-paste.
No analysis available
Very strong shared-amenity evidence for a meeting/conference room. Multiple listings explicitly mention "meeting rooms," "meeting/business room," and "conference spaces," which matches the high MLS frequency of about 14 of 20. This is consistent across many remarks and unlikely to be a checkbox error.
Multiple current listings mention patio/deck-style outdoor space, including "private yard and open lanai," "outdoor courtyard with direct access to the Great Lawn," "outdoor deck and a yard," and "Created Deck." This appears across many listings and multiple remarks, not just one agent's copy-paste, so the feature is strongly supported for the building.
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.

There is solid evidence for a shared recreation area or recreation space at the building. Listings refer to "recreation rooms," "rec room," "party room with deck," and gated green open space, aligning with the MLS amenity pattern seen in about 7 of 20 records. The feature appears to be a genuine common amenity, though less universally referenced than BBQ or fitness.
Strong evidence the building has an indoor recreation/party room amenity. Multiple listings mention "rec room," "recreation rooms," "versatile party rooms," or similar indoor flex/entertainment spaces, indicating this is a real shared feature rather than a checkbox error.

Storage units/lockers are clearly available in the building. Across the provided remarks, at least 8 listings explicitly mention storage, including phrases like 'deeded storage space,' 'storage unit S601,' 'spacious 59 sq. ft. storage unit,' '48 SF of storage,' and 'storage room near the elevators.' The repeated detail across multiple listings and agents strongly supports that storage is a real building feature, not just MLS filler.
The amenities list directly names surfboard storage, which is clear confirmation of this feature. No interpretation is needed here because the term appears verbatim in the public remarks.
No analysis available
Trash chute is not directly confirmed in the public remarks, so the evidence is weaker than for the other amenities. However, the MLS data shows it in a majority of records (about 11 of 20), suggesting the feature likely exists at the building level even though the remarks are silent. Confidence is moderate rather than high because this looks MLS-driven rather than remark-verified.

The building appears to offer a whirlpool/hot tub/spa amenity. Several listings say "pool with spa," "hot tub," or "whirlpool," and the MLS data also supports this feature with around 9 of 20 records. The remarks are consistent enough to treat this as a real shared amenity.
Pool is strongly supported as a shared building amenity at Hale Ka Lae. Roughly 20+ listings in the provided remarks mention it, with repeated phrases such as "pool with spa," "saltwater pool," "large swimming pool," and "resort-style amenities." The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and reads like a genuine building feature, not a one-off copy-paste error.
No analysis available
The pool type is directly and repeatedly described as saltwater in the remarks. This is strong explicit evidence that the building has a salt water pool.
Multiple current listings explicitly mention in-unit laundry, including phrases such as "washer & dryer in the unit" and "full-size Washer/Dryer." This matches the prior high-confidence MLS pattern and appears across several remarks from different listings, not just a single agent copy/paste. The evidence strongly supports that Hale Ka Lae offers in-unit washer/dryer in at least some units.
There is solid evidence the building has shared laundry facilities. Current MLS data shows 9 of 20 listings checking the community laundry amenity, and remarks explicitly reference "additional laundry facilities" plus a listing note stating "Community Landry also in the building." The evidence is fewer than in-unit laundry but still strong enough to include.
I looked for remarks indicating that community laundry requires payment, including coin laundry, card access, or laundry fees. None of the public remarks describe paid laundry, so there is no evidence to support this feature.
I searched for explicit language such as "laundry on each floor," "every floor," or "floor-level laundry rooms." The remarks only mention general laundry facilities, in-unit washer/dryer, or shared laundry/foyer, which does not confirm laundry on every floor.
Strong, consistent evidence that Hale Ka Lae offers parking. Across the provided remarks, parking is mentioned in many listings, often with details like '2 assigned side-by-side parking stalls,' 'secured-covered parking stalls,' and even separate parking-stall sales. This appears to be broadly consistent across multiple agents rather than a copy-paste anomaly.
Parking assigned is strongly supported. Multiple listings explicitly mention 'assigned side-by-side parking stalls,' 'two assigned parking stalls,' and 'two assigned secure parking stalls,' showing this is a building-level feature rather than a one-off unit detail. The evidence is consistent across many remarks and aligns with the high-confidence MLS history.
Covered parking is strongly supported. Several listings directly say 'secured-covered parking stalls,' 'gated and Covered parking stall,' and 'covered parking stall,' indicating the building offers covered or garage-style parking. The remarks are consistent with the historical MLS pattern and do not look like isolated copy-paste errors.
I looked for explicit deeded/owned parking language such as deeded parking, owned stall, or parking included in deed, but found none. The listings describe assigned and limited-common-element stalls, which does not establish deeded parking.
No analysis available
I searched for parking fee, monthly parking charge, additional parking cost, and parking rental language, but found no explicit fee amount. Some remarks discuss extra stalls for sale or income-producing parking, but that is not a monthly parking fee.
Guest parking is mentioned in several listings, with multiple remarks clearly stating there are guest stalls or ample guest parking. The evidence is repeated across different descriptions, so this appears to be a real building feature rather than a checkbox-only entry. Current MLS data also shows some listings marked with guest parking.
Secured-entry parking is supported by multiple remarks describing card access, gated parking, and secure parking stalls. While not every listing mentions it, the repeated wording across different remarks is strong evidence that parking access is secured. The MLS checkbox activity aligns with the remarks.

I searched for parking waitlist or waiting-list language and found nothing. The remarks consistently frame parking as assigned, available, or separately purchasable rather than waitlisted.
No analysis available
I looked for key card, fob, card reader, or electronic access language. The public remarks explicitly state that access requires a card, which supports a card/fob security system.
Security/guard service is supported at a moderate level. Across the listings, about 6 of 20 current MLS records carry the SECGUA amenity, while remarks more often reference related indicators like "security," "secure environment," and an "on-site resident manager" rather than clearly saying 24/7 guard service. This looks like moderate evidence rather than a fully explicit, consistently described amenity.
I searched for patrol-related wording such as security patrol, roving security, or patrolled building. The remarks mention security, on-site management, and gated access, but not a patrol service.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Split AC appears in a minority of current MLS records (3 of 20 listings), while the public remarks do not directly reference mini-splits, ductless systems, or individual AC units. Because only some units need to have this feature for buyer search purposes, I’m keeping it as present but with modest confidence until remarks or broader listing data confirm it more clearly.
11 of 20 current MLS listings have the ACWIUN (window AC) checkbox checked, suggesting some units in Hale Ka Lae offer window air conditioning. No public remarks in the provided listings explicitly mention window AC, wall AC, or related terms, so this is supported by MLS data only and may reflect inconsistent agent input.
Concrete construction is very well supported for Hale Ka Lae. The current MLS data shows 17 of 20 listings with CONCRE checked, and remarks across multiple listings explicitly say "modern concrete construction" or mention a "solid concrete wall" separating the flex layout. This appears to be consistent across agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error.

No analysis available
Across the provided listings, 0 remarks explicitly mention masonry or stucco, while one remark specifically says "modern concrete construction." The low current MLS prevalence (2/20) also suggests the MASSTU checkbox is likely inconsistent or a copy/paste artifact rather than a confirmed building feature.

There is no remark-based evidence supporting above-ground construction. Although 9/20 current listings check ABOGRO, none of the public remarks describe the building as above-ground or use matching language, so this looks weak and possibly copy-paste driven. I am treating it as not verified for this building.

I looked for direct STR indicators such as short-term rental allowed, vacation rental allowed, NUC/TVU, or minimum-stay rules, but found none. The remarks talk about rental income potential and live-in-one-rent-the-other setups, which suggests long-term or internal flex use rather than confirmed STR allowance.
I searched for hotel pool references like hotel rental pool, Hilton/Trump/Ritz pool, or managed-by-hotel language and found none. Because there is no evidence the building allows STR, hotel-pool participation must be false.
I looked for language indicating a required hotel pool or mandatory rental program and found nothing. The listings instead describe owner use, flexibility, and rental potential, with no sign of a compulsory pool structure.

I searched for phrases like lease expires, ground lease, leasehold, lease to, and renewal/extension dates, but found no lease-expiry year. The remarks appear to describe the property as fee simple, so there is no evidence of a leasehold expiry to extract.
The public remarks repeatedly confirm VA financing eligibility. This is strong direct evidence, so the feature is true with very high confidence.
The public remarks repeatedly and explicitly state that Hale Ka Lae is fully insured for hurricane coverage and fully compliant with insurance requirements. This is strong, repeated evidence supporting a true value.
Strong, repeated evidence across many listings confirms Hale Ka Lae has fire sprinklers. At least 8+ current remarks explicitly mention 'sprinkler system' or 'fire sprinkler system,' and several do so in a way that reads like building-level standard wording rather than one-off unit detail. This aligns with the previously high-confidence MLS amenity data, so the feature should remain true.
I looked for phrases like 'passed fire inspection,' 'FLSE passed,' 'fire safety certified,' or 'life safety compliant.' The remarks mention sprinklers and fire alarms, but not a formal fire/life-safety evaluation pass, so this cannot be confirmed.
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 clearly present in some units at Hale Ka Lae. At least 5 of 20 current MLS listings reference OCEAN, and several remarks explicitly say 'fantastic view of the Ocean' or 'a hint of the sparkling ocean,' suggesting this is not a one-off copy-paste error. Buyers searching for ocean-view condos would reasonably want this building included.
Mountain views are strongly supported across multiple listings and agents. The remarks mention 'surrounding mountains,' 'foot of the Koolau mountains,' and 'mountains' in several places, while current MLS data shows 8 of 20 listings with mountain view language. This is consistent with building-level availability rather than a single unit-only feature.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Coastline views are not supported by the public remarks. The current MLS data shows only 1 of 20 listings with COASTL, and the listing text never uses coastline/shoreline/coastal wording. Evidence is too thin to treat this as a confirmed building-level feature.
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
Marina views are consistently described in multiple listings, not just implied by the MLS checkbox. Remarks include "partial Marina views," "Enjoy breathtaking views of the marina," and "fantastic view of the Waterfront, Marina." The evidence is strong and repeated across agents, so marina views should be treated as a real feature of some units.
There is no meaningful textual evidence for sunrise-facing views in the remarks. While 3 of 20 MLS records include SUNRIS, the public remarks do not corroborate it and instead focus on marina, mountain, ocean, and Koko Head views. This looks more like unchecked MLS carryover or inconsistent labeling than a confirmed building feature.
Sunset-view evidence is weak but present: 1 of 20 current listings includes "SUNSET" in the MLS view description. Across the public remarks, most agents mention marina/ocean/mountain views rather than sunset views, suggesting the feature may exist in some units but is not broadly or consistently noted.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit references to seeing Friday night fireworks from the building, lanai, or units. The remarks mention marina, ocean, and mountain views, but nothing about fireworks views.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Resident manager is strongly confirmed across multiple listings for Hale Ka Lae. Several remarks explicitly say "resident manager is on-site" or refer to "on-site management," indicating this is not just a checkbox artifact but a recurring building feature mentioned by different agents. The evidence is consistent and high confidence.
