Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
No analysis available
The remarks directly and repeatedly support an 80% owner-occupancy rate. Because this is explicitly stated in the public remarks and aligns with the current value, it should be retained with very high confidence.
I searched the remarks for an explicit elevator count like "4 elevators," "four elevators," or "multiple elevators," but found none. The text only mentions elevator proximity and an express penthouse elevator, which is not enough to determine the total number.
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.
No analysis available
Cable TV appears to be included in maintenance fees based on 18 of 20 current listings marking CABTV. The remarks rarely spell it out, but there is no conflicting evidence in the public descriptions. Confidence is high because the MLS pattern is consistent across many listings and agents.
13 of 20 listings list OTCOEX (common area electric) in association_fee_includes. While remarks focus on amenities (fitness center, pool, etc.) and do not explicitly say 'common area electricity included,' the repeated MLS checkbox entries across listings imply common electric is included in maintenance fees.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Gas inclusion is supported by 14 of 20 current listings and reinforced by several public remarks mentioning “gas cooking,” “gas range,” and “gas cooktop.” While this is not as universal as sewer/water, the combination of MLS data and repeated remarks makes inclusion likely. Some of the remarks may reflect unit appliances rather than the HOA fee, so confidence is strong but not absolute.
Hot water is very likely not included. Only 1 of 20 current listings marks HOTWAT, while 17 of 20 explicitly list WTRHTR, which is a strong indicator that units have their own water heaters instead of building-provided hot water. No public remarks provide evidence of hot water being included.
Internet appears to be included based on 15 of 20 current listings marking INTSER. The public remarks do not commonly reference internet, so the evidence is MLS-driven rather than remark-driven. This is a reasonably strong building-level pattern, though slightly less uniform than sewer or water.
No analysis available
Sewer is almost certainly included in maintenance fees. Nineteen of twenty current listings mark SEWER, which is one of the strongest signals in the dataset. The public remarks do not mention sewer directly, but the MLS evidence is overwhelmingly consistent.
Water is almost certainly included in maintenance fees. Nineteen of twenty current listings mark WATER, indicating a highly consistent building-level inclusion. The remarks are silent on water, but the MLS data is strong enough on its own.
The BBQ amenity is well supported by both MLS history and current listing remarks. Several agents describe 'BBQ cabanas,' 'barbecue areas,' and even 'terrace cabanas & grills,' indicating this is a common shared amenity in the building.

Concierge service is well supported by both MLS data and public remarks. Multiple listings describe 'concierge services' or 'concierge service,' and one notes an 'exceptional concierge and management team,' indicating this is a genuine building-level amenity. The repeated wording across listings suggests broad confirmation rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
Numerous listings explicitly mention 'dog park' or 'dog run' (including references to two dog parks), and the MLS checkbox is commonly set. Agent remarks consistently describe on-site pet exercise areas, indicating building-level dog parks.
No analysis available
Strong evidence across many listings confirms an exercise room/fitness center. Remarks explicitly reference a 'fitness center,' 'well equipped Fitness Center,' and 'state-of-the-art gym' in multiple sales descriptions, so this appears to be a real shared building amenity rather than copy-paste error.
No analysis available
The building appears to offer a shared meeting/community space, with multiple listings calling out a 'meeting room' or 'party room.' This is supported by both the current remarks and the historically frequent MLS checkbox usage.
Strong evidence across listings for building-level outdoor spaces: at least several listings explicitly reference lanai/terrace/deck/outdoor living (e.g., penthouse with '1680sf of lanai', units with 'ocean terrace', 'recreation deck', 'lanai', 'deck', 'covered cabanas'). MLS checkbox prevalence (13/20) aligns with multiple agents' remarks, indicating the building offers patio/deck amenities.

Multiple listings describe a 'recreation deck', 'Ocean Terrace', and other shared amenity terraces or recreation spaces; MLS checkboxes are commonly set. The evidence indicates building-level recreation areas/amenity decks available to residents.
Several listings reference a recreation/party space, including 'Ocean Terrace Room' and 'new remodeled ocean terrace party room.' While wording varies, the consistent appearance across listings strongly supports a shared recreation room amenity.
Although fewer MLS checkboxes (8/20), multiple remarks explicitly note on-site restaurants and name ground-floor dining (e.g., 'Restaurant Tango', 'Panya Bistro'), indicating on-property dining is available; confidence is high enough to include.
No analysis available
Sauna is one of the most consistently supported amenities in the dataset. Current remarks repeatedly mention 'sauna' and 'well equipped with sauna,' and the MLS history shows near-universal confirmation.
Storage is strongly supported for this building. Across the provided remarks, many listings explicitly mention storage in different forms—"storage included," "storage locker," "large storage room," and "oversized storage locker"—showing this is not a one-off copy/paste claim. Combined with the high-confidence MLS history, this is a very reliable building feature.
I searched for "surfboard storage," "board storage," "surf storage," and similar phrases. The remarks mention storage lockers and large storage rooms, but nothing specifically indicates surfboard storage facilities.
Tennis facilities are consistently referenced across listings, often as 'tennis court' or 'tennis/pickleball courts.' The repetition across multiple remarks supports that this is a genuine building amenity and not just an MLS checkbox artifact.
Trash chute appears to be a building feature based on the strong MLS history, even though public remarks do not mention it. Because this amenity is often omitted from marketing text, the lack of remark-level evidence is not enough to override the high historical confidence.
MLS amenity checkbox shows VALET on 8 of 20 current listings and several public remarks explicitly reference valet/valet parking (quotes include "valet service" and "valet parking"). At least four different listings mention valet in the public remarks, and the mentions come from multiple agent write-ups rather than a single repeated copy, providing strong evidence that the building offers valet service.
No analysis available
Whirlpool/jacuzzi-type amenities are clearly present in the building’s marketing remarks. Listings mention a 'jacuzzi,' 'hot tub,' and even a 'whirlpool spa,' indicating this feature is real and shared, though some mentions may refer to the amenity deck rather than every unit.
Strong building-level evidence supports pool access at Hokua. Across many listings, agents independently reference multiple pool types and related amenities, including "heated swimming pool," "lap pool," "infinity edge pool," and "pool and jacuzzi," so this is not a one-off copy-paste claim. The remarks consistently describe resort-style common amenities, confirming the building has a swimming pool.
Substantial evidence that the building’s pool is heated: 15/20 MLS listings flag HEAPOO and several public remarks explicitly use terms like “heated swimming pool” and “heated pool.” Mentions are present across multiple listings/agents, aligning with the MLS amenity flags and indicating a building-level heated pool amenity.
I searched for "salt water pool," "saltwater," "saline," and similar phrases. The pool is described as heated, infinity-edge, lap, or ocean-view, but nothing publicly confirms a salt-water system.
Strong evidence supports in-unit laundry at this building. The MLS currently shows WASHER/DRYER in inclusions for all 20 listings, and several remarks explicitly mention a "laundry room" or "large laundry room" in the unit. This appears consistent across multiple listings/agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
No analysis available
I looked for terms such as "coin laundry," "quarters," "card operated," "coin-op," and "laundry fee." The listings reference in-unit or private laundry rooms, but I found no public remark indicating paid community laundry.
I searched for explicit phrases like "laundry on each floor," "laundry room on every floor," and "floor-by-floor laundry." The remarks mention laundry rooms in some units and a few general storage mentions, but nothing confirms community laundry on every floor.
No analysis available
Assigned/reserved parking is strongly supported across the listing set. Multiple remarks specify exact stall counts and placement, such as '3 parking stalls,' 'two parking stalls,' and 'three parking spaces,' which is consistent with assigned parking rather than general parking. The repeated phrasing appears across many agents and aligns with the historical MLS ASSIGN flags.
Covered parking is effectively confirmed by both MLS data and remarks. All 20/20 listings show covered-parking indicators, and several remarks explicitly reference parking on a parking level or 'covered, secure parking stalls.' This is consistent, building-wide evidence rather than a one-off agent note.
The listings consistently describe parking as included with the unit or included in the sale, which supports deeded/owned parking rather than separate rental parking. Some remarks specify multiple stalls, secure parking, and stalls near elevators, reinforcing that the parking rights travel with the unit.
No analysis available
I searched for parking fee, monthly parking charge, parking rental, or any extra parking cost, but found none. The remarks emphasize that parking stalls are included, so no separate monthly fee is stated.
Guest parking is supported by both MLS checkbox data and at least one explicit remark. One listing directly says 'Guest parking,' while other remarks reference guest-oriented building amenities, making this a credible building feature. The evidence is somewhat more mixed than covered parking, but still strong enough to include.
Secured-entry parking appears to be a real building feature. Several remarks explicitly mention 'secure parking stalls' or 'two secure parking,' and the MLS history is fairly consistent at 14/20 listings with secured-entry flags. The evidence suggests controlled or secured access to parking, not just general building security.
Both MLS checkbox data (4/20) and remarks contain explicit tandem references — examples include '2 tandem stalls' and 'tandem stalls' in unit descriptions. Those direct statements across multiple listings indicate that some parking stalls in the building are tandem.
No analysis available
I looked for any reference to a parking waitlist, parking waiting list, or joining a waitlist for parking, and found nothing. The remarks instead describe parking as included, so there is no evidence of a waitlist system.
No analysis available
I looked for references to key card access, fob access, card readers, and electronic entry. The remarks mention concierge, guards, and 24/7 security, but do not explicitly state card or fob access.
Security guard service is strongly supported. Current public remarks explicitly reference '24/7 security' and a 'secure building' across multiple listings, matching the already high MLS signal (19 of 20 current listings). The evidence appears consistent across different agents and not just copied once.
I searched for "security patrol," "roving security," and "patrolled building." The building is repeatedly described as secure with 24/7 security and staffed service, but the remarks do not explicitly confirm a patrol service.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is strongly supported at the building level. The current remarks explicitly mention it in multiple listings, including phrases like 'new central A/C system' and 'Central A/C,' aligning with the already-high MLS evidence (20/20 unit features and 19/20 inclusions). This appears to be consistent across listings rather than a one-off copy-paste error.

No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence supports concrete construction: 19 of 20 listings list CONCRE in the MLS construction materials. Public remarks repeatedly describe Hokua as a luxury high-rise condominium, and there is no conflicting language suggesting another primary construction type.
Moderate evidence suggests double-wall construction: 11 of 20 listings include DOUWAL in the MLS materials. The remarks across listings do not mention double-wall directly, so this appears to come mainly from MLS checkbox data rather than descriptive text, but the frequency is substantial enough to keep it included.
Only 2 of 20 MLS listings include 'HOLTIL' (hollow tile). Public remarks make no mention of hollow tile construction; this sparse MLS reporting suggests hollow tile is possible for parts of the building but evidence is weak and could be agent checklist variance.
No analysis available
11 of 20 MLS listings include 'STEFRA' (steel frame) as a construction material. Public remarks are silent about structure; multiple listings claim steel frame, suggesting steel-frame elements or classification, but the evidence is moderate and may reflect inconsistent agent checklist usage.
There is not enough evidence to support a slab foundation feature for the building. Only 2 of 20 listings include SLAB in MLS materials, and none of the public remarks mention a concrete slab or foundation details, so this is best treated as an incorrect or unverified MLS entry.

I searched for short-term rental language such as STR permitted, vacation rental allowed, TVU, or NUC, and found no support in the remarks. There is also no explicit evidence of a 30-day minimum or similar language, so STR allowance is not established.
I looked for hotel pool, hotel rental program, Hilton/Ritz/Trump pool language, or any managed rental program, but found none. Because the remarks do not establish that STR is allowed, this must remain false.
I searched for wording like mandatory hotel pool, must rent, required participation, or cannot opt out, and found nothing. The listings do not describe any rental-pool obligation, so this is set to false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for any mention of leasehold status, ground lease, or a lease expiry year such as 'lease expires 2050' or 'renewed through 2075'. Nothing in the remarks indicates the building is leasehold or provides an expiry year.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like VA approved, VA financing, and VA loans accepted, but found nothing. Based on the available listing text, there is no evidence that this building is VA loan approved.
I searched the remarks for HOA/building insurance language indicating full or walls-in coverage. The listings do not mention insurance coverage, so there is no evidence to support a true value from public remarks.
Fire sprinklers appear to be a building feature based on the current MLS amenity data: 16 of 20 listings include FIRSPR. However, none of the public remarks explicitly say "sprinkler" or "sprinkler system," so the evidence is mostly checkbox-based and could reflect copy/paste MLS entry rather than repeated description in remarks.
I searched the public remarks for any statement that the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation or similar fire-safety compliance language. Nothing was found, so there is no public-remarks evidence to mark this as true.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Strong, building-wide evidence for ocean views. Across the remarks, well over half the listings explicitly mention ocean views, including phrases like 'breathtaking unobstructed ocean,' 'Pacific Ocean,' 'sweeping ocean views,' and 'blue ocean views from every room.' The consistency across many different agents suggests this is a stable building feature, not just copy-paste noise.
Multiple unit remarks reference 'mountain views', 'mountain ridges' and 'all bedrooms facing to cool mountain side', indicating that some units provide mountain/mauka views despite limited MLS checkbox counts.
Multiple listings explicitly reference Diamond Head—phrases include 'Diamond Head views', 'sweeping views from Diamond Head to the Ewa planes', and 'uninterrupted views of Oahu's most celebrated landmark Diamond Head'. Evidence is strong across many agent remarks, supporting that the building offers Diamond Head-view units.
Although listings describe urban location and 'city living', the remarks consistently emphasize ocean, park, harbor and Diamond Head vistas rather than explicit 'city' or 'downtown' views. Therefore the building is not supported as having a notable building-level city view offering in the remarks.
Strong evidence across listings: 15 of 20 MLS descriptions show COASTL and many remarks state 'coastline', 'Ala Moana Beach Park', 'Magic Island' and 'coastline views from Diamond Head to Ala Wai Harbor'. Multiple agents describe panoramic coastal/shoreline vistas, indicating the building offers coastline-view units.
Listings reference 'lush greenery of Ala Moana Beach Park', 'green open space of Ala Moana Park' and views of parkland from units; while not always labeled 'garden', these landscaped/park views indicate garden/courtyard-type vistas are available for some units.
No analysis available
Several unit descriptions reference 'Ala Wai Harbor', 'Ala Wai Harbor to Ala Moana Beach Park' and 'Kewalo Boat Harbor', indicating the building offers harbor/marina views from some units.
Moderate evidence: 6 of 20 MLS view_descriptions include SUNRIS and a few remarks mention 'east to west views' implying eastern exposure. However, the bulk of remarks emphasize sunsets and western/southern exposures, so sunrise views likely exist for some stacks but with only moderate confidence.
There is strong evidence that sunset views are offered in the building, though not in every unit. Multiple remarks reference 'breathtaking sunsets,' 'year-round sunsets,' and 'Friday night fireworks,' indicating this is a real and marketable view feature across several listings. The pattern appears repeatedly across different listings and agents, supporting a building-level sunset-view offering.
No analysis available
Multiple listings directly confirm that units can watch Friday night fireworks from inside the home or from the lanai. This is a clear, repeated public-remarks confirmation of fireworks views from the building.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Resident manager is very strongly supported: 20 of 20 current MLS listings include RESMAN, and multiple remarks explicitly reference on-site management, resident staff, or a resident manager. The recurring language appears across many listings rather than a single agent's copy, making this a high-confidence building feature.
