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 explicit owner-occupancy wording like a percentage, "majority owner occupied," or "highly owner occupied," but found none. The remarks only provide unit-level occupancy details and general mixed-use descriptions, so the current 10% value is retained with low confidence.
The public remarks directly confirm the building has four elevators, matching the current building context. This is strong, repeated evidence from multiple listings, so the value is kept at 4 with very high confidence.
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 public remarks state 'central AC included' and only 1 of 20 current MLS listings has ACCEN checked. Multiple listings call out split AC, window AC, or new split systems, indicating cooling is provided at the unit level rather than as a central building service. Evidence across agent remarks and the low MLS checkbox frequency suggests central air included in fees is not a building-level maintenance inclusion.
Cable TV inclusion is very well established for Island Colony. Historical MLS data shows CABTV in 19/20 listings, and current remarks explicitly state phrases like "TV cable" and "Cable TV...are included" in the maintenance fee. This is consistent across many listings and appears to be a building-level amenity, not a copy-paste anomaly.
There is moderate evidence that Island Colony fees cover common-area electricity or similar common building expenses. Historical MLS data shows OTCOEX in 10/20 listings, and some remarks mention fees covering "common areas" along with other utilities, though this is less explicit than the other utility inclusions. Confidence is moderate rather than high because the remarks are more suggestive than direct.
No analysis available
Electricity is not generally included in Island Colony maintenance fees. The historical MLS pattern is overwhelmingly negative, and multiple remarks explicitly say “Electricity is billed separately,” “Electricity is submetered,” or similar wording. The one listing that suggests otherwise appears to be an outlier against the broader record.
No analysis available
Hot water inclusion is strongly supported for Island Colony. Historical MLS data shows HOTWAT in 16/20 listings and no WTRHTR indicators, while several remarks explicitly say maintenance includes "Hot water" or "hot water" along with other utilities. The evidence is consistent and building-wide.
Internet inclusion is strongly confirmed for Island Colony. The MLS history shows INTSER in 19/20 listings, and multiple remarks say "internet" or "high speed internet" is included in the maintenance fee. This is consistent across many agents and appears to be a stable building feature.
No analysis available
Sewer is consistently reported as included in Island Colony maintenance fees. Historical MLS data shows SEWER in 19/20 listings, and several remarks explicitly include sewer among the fee-covered utilities. This is a very strong, building-level inclusion.
Water inclusion is one of the most consistent Island Colony features. The records show WATER in 19/20 listings, and current remarks repeatedly state that maintenance includes water, often alongside hot water, sewer, and internet. The evidence is strong and highly reliable.
BBQ/grilling facilities are repeatedly confirmed throughout the current remarks. Many listings describe the building's shared amenity deck with 'BBQ area,' 'BBQ grills,' 'Weber barbecues,' or 'gas grills,' often on the 6th floor. The consistency across many listings and agents makes this a very strong building-level amenity, though the wording appears heavily copy-pasted.

Exercise amenities are strongly confirmed for Island Colony. Across the remarks, numerous listings explicitly mention 'fitness center,' 'exercise room,' 'gym,' or 'workout room,' including repeated references to the 6th-floor amenity deck. The evidence is consistent across many agents and reads like repeated copy/paste from the same underlying building amenity set, but it is still strongly corroborated.
No analysis available
Meeting/gathering space is supported by explicit mentions of a 'meeting room' and 'lobby gathering spaces.' While less common than the core resort amenities, the feature appears in enough listings to treat it as present.
Patio/deck amenities are strongly supported at Island Colony. Dozens of current remarks mention outdoor spaces, including phrases like "private lanai," "spacious lanai," "large lanai/patio," "covered lanai," "open balcony," and "6th-floor recreation deck/sundeck." The consistency across many listings and multiple agents suggests this is a real building-level amenity rather than copy-paste error.

A shared recreation area is well supported by the remarks. Multiple listings call out the '6th-floor recreation deck' or 'amenity deck' with pool, spa, BBQ, and lounge areas, indicating a common building amenity rather than a unit-specific feature. The evidence is consistent enough to keep this as a true building feature.
A recreation room or equivalent indoor gathering space is supported by multiple remarks, including explicit 'recreation room' references. The evidence is not as universal as pool or gym, but it appears to be a real amenity offered in the building.
On-site dining is repeatedly corroborated by listings referencing a lobby restaurant, café, or the 'Forty Niner' restaurant. The evidence is consistent across many agents and clearly indicates a building-level amenity.
No analysis available
Sauna is one of the most consistently confirmed amenities in the dataset. It appears in many listings across different wording styles, including direct references to 'sauna' and '6th-floor amenity deck' descriptions. This is strong, repeated evidence from multiple sources.
Multiple listings explicitly reference on-site storage/lockers — phrases include “Bike and surfboard storage in lobby”, “surfboard lockers”, and “bike/surf board locker area.” Approximately half a dozen separate remarks mention these common-area storage facilities, and 2 of 20 current MLS amenity checkboxes list additional storage, indicating the building offers shared storage/locker options.
The remarks directly confirm surfboard storage facilities. Multiple listings mention surfboard storage or surfboard lockers, which is strong evidence for this feature.
No analysis available
Trash chute service is explicitly confirmed and also supported by the MLS history. One remark specifically notes a 'trash chute on every floor,' which is strong direct evidence, and the 20/20 historical amenity rate supports it further. This is a reliable building-level feature.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Whirlpool/hot tub/spa is strongly supported across the listings. Many remarks explicitly use terms like 'hot tub,' 'jacuzzi,' 'whirlpool spa,' and 'jet spa,' often describing the shared amenity deck. This appears in enough listings to be considered a confirmed building feature.
Pool is strongly confirmed for Island Colony. It is mentioned in a very large share of the current remarks across many different listings and agents, with explicit phrases like "heated pool," "swimming pool," "large swimming pool," and "pool deck." The evidence is consistent and widespread, so this feature should remain true with very high confidence.
A heated pool is explicitly confirmed in the remarks, including phrases like “heated pool” and similar pool-deck descriptions. While not every listing specifies heat, the building’s pool amenity is repeatedly confirmed and the heated detail appears directly in the public remarks, so this feature should be included.
I searched the remarks for explicit salt-water pool language and found none. The listings confirm a pool, heated pool, whirlpool, or jacuzzi, but do not identify it as saltwater.
Across the provided remarks, community laundry is mentioned many times, but in-unit laundry is not explicitly described. The only MLS support for laundry_in_unit is 1/20 listings showing WASHER/DRYER in inclusions, which is too sparse to trust as a building feature. This appears more like an outlier or agent input error than a verified amenity.
Community laundry is very strongly supported for Island Colony. In the current remarks, it is mentioned in many listings with phrases like "community laundry," "laundry facilities," "laundry room," and "coin laundry," including references to on-site laundry on the 6th floor. Combined with the MLS checkbox history (18/20 listings marked COMLAU), the evidence is overwhelming and consistent across multiple listings.
The public remarks clearly indicate the laundry is paid/coin-operated. Multiple listings reference community laundry along with coin-operated or coined laundries, which is direct evidence for this feature.
I searched the public remarks for explicit floor-by-floor language such as 'laundry on every floor,' 'laundry room on each floor,' or similar wording and found none. The listings do confirm shared community laundry facilities in the building, but not that they are available on every floor.
Parking is confirmed for Island Colony. Across the remarks, many listings explicitly mention parking options such as 'on-site parking garage,' 'parking available for rent,' 'garage parking available for a monthly fee,' and 'parking rental daily or monthly.' The evidence appears consistent across many agents and sounds like building-level rental parking rather than a dedicated stall for every unit.
No analysis available
Covered parking is confirmed for Island Colony. Current remarks explicitly mention an "on-site parking garage" and "garage parking available for a monthly fee," while other listings note parking can be rented daily or monthly through the building. The evidence is consistent across multiple remarks and appears to reflect building-level parking access rather than unit-assigned stalls.
I searched for deeded, owned, or included parking language and found the opposite. The remarks consistently describe parking as rental/paid parking rather than deeded with the unit.
No analysis available
I looked for an explicit monthly parking charge, such as "$X/month" or "monthly parking fee," but most references only say parking is rented daily or monthly, or that it is managed by Elite Parking. Because no single concrete monthly fee is stated, the parking fee cannot be reliably extracted.
Guest/visitor parking is mentioned directly in at least one remark ("guest parking too!") and several listings reference paid or nightly parking options that imply visitor parking exists. Evidence is limited to a few listings, so this is included as an offering buyers may expect but with moderate confidence.
Across the remarks, parking is mentioned in 2+ listings, but only as rentable garage/lot parking or parking handled by Elite Parking; none explicitly say secured parking, gated entry, card access, or fob-controlled parking. The building itself is repeatedly described as secure/24-hour security, but that does not verify secured parking access. Given the sparse MLS checkbox support and lack of corroborating remarks, this feature is most likely not confirmed for the building.

I searched for parking waitlist language and found repeated, explicit references to a waitlist system. The remarks clearly support that some parking options require joining a waiting list.
No analysis available
The building’s card/fob access security is well supported by the remarks. References to controlled access, fob access, and keyed elevators are all consistent with a card-access security system.
Security guard service is strongly confirmed for Island Colony. Well over 20 current remarks explicitly mention “24-hour security,” “24/7 security,” “security desk,” or “on-site security,” and several also describe controlled access or a secured building. The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to be a real building feature, not just copy-paste checkbox noise.
I looked for patrol-specific language in the public remarks and found no evidence of a security patrol service. The building is frequently described as having 24-hour security or a security guard, but that is not the same as patrol service.

Strong building-wide evidence supports split AC availability at Island Colony. Multiple remarks explicitly say "split A/C units in both the living room and bedroom," "split AC," "Split System AC," and "newly installed split AC," across many listings and agents, which is consistent with the prior high-confidence MLS data. This does not look like a one-off copy-paste error; the feature is repeatedly described in fresh remarks.
Window air conditioning is strongly supported for Island Colony. Numerous current remarks explicitly reference 'window AC,' 'window a/c,' 'new air conditioner,' 'AC units in every room,' and even a 'quiet type AC window unit,' across many different listings and agents. This aligns with the historical MLS confidence and indicates the building offers units with window AC, not just an isolated case.
Island Colony should be treated as a concrete building with very high confidence. The MLS construction field is consistent across 19 of 20 listings, and the current remarks do not suggest any change away from concrete construction. One remark even references “spalling and concrete repairs,” which aligns with a concrete structure rather than contradicting it.
Double-wall construction does not appear supported for Island Colony. Across the provided public remarks there are no explicit references to double-wall construction, and the MLS checkbox appears in only 2 of 20 listings, which looks more like agent inconsistency than a real building feature.
No analysis available
There is no meaningful public-remarks support for masonry/stucco construction at Island Colony. Only 1 of 20 current MLS records flags MASSTU, while the rest of the data points to concrete construction instead. This looks like a stray MLS checkbox rather than a confirmed building feature.
Steel-frame construction is not supported by the public remarks. Across dozens of listings, agents focus on views, STR status, amenities, and recent plumbing/sprinkler work, but none explicitly describe the building as steel frame; the sparse MLS checkbox usage appears inconsistent and likely copy-paste noise.
The MLS shows a single record with a slab checkbox (1/20) but none of the public remarks mention 'concrete slab' or a slab foundation. With no corroborating public-remark evidence, there is insufficient support to treat slab foundation as a confirmed building feature.

Island Colony is clearly an above-ground high-rise building. Public remarks repeatedly reference 43 floors, high-floor units, and the 6th-floor amenity deck, which strongly supports above-ground construction across many listings and agents.

I searched for short-term rental permission and found strong, repeated confirmation throughout the remarks. The building is clearly described as allowing legal STRs and vacation rentals.
I looked for evidence of hotel rental pool participation and found many direct mentions. The building clearly participates in a hotel-style rental program, including Skyline/Aqua-style hotel pool references.
I searched for language indicating mandatory hotel-pool enrollment, but the remarks point the other way. Multiple listings describe the program as optional or flexible, so mandatory participation is not supported.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for explicit wording such as "lease expires YEAR," "ground lease ends," "renewed through YEAR," or similar lease-expiry language. The public remarks confirm leasehold status in some listings, but they do not give a specific expiration year, so this remains unknown.
I searched the public remarks for any VA loan approval language such as "VA approved" or "VA financing" and found none. The remarks focus on short-term rental eligibility, hotel programs, and parking, but do not mention VA financing at all.
The remarks provide direct, repeated evidence that the building is fully insured. This is a strong match for full/walls-in insurance coverage, so the feature is set to true with very high confidence.
Fire sprinklers are strongly confirmed across the Island Colony remarks, with many listings explicitly stating the unit or building has fire sprinklers or a sprinkler system. Multiple agents repeat this language, suggesting it is a real building feature rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
I searched the remarks for explicit fire/life safety approval language such as FLSE passed, fire safety certified, or passed fire inspection, and did not find it. The listings do mention fire sprinklers, drain line replacement, and re-piping, which support building safety upgrades but are not the same as a documented FLSE pass.
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 strongly established for Island Colony. Roughly 40+ remarks mention phrases like "ocean views," "Pacific Ocean vistas," "partial ocean views," and "ocean on the horizon," often across different units and agents, so this does not look like a copy-paste anomaly.
Mountain views are extremely well supported at Island Colony. Dozens of remarks cite "mountain views," "Ko'olau Mountains," "mauka," and "mountains beyond," showing broad and repeated confirmation across multiple listings.
Diamond Head views are clearly established for Island Colony. Many listings explicitly say "Diamond Head views," "Diamond Head side," or "iconic Diamond Head crater," and several units highlight sunrise views over Diamond Head.
City views are one of the most consistently mentioned features at Island Colony. Numerous remarks reference "city skyline," "city lights," "city views," and "Honolulu cityscape," indicating this is a common building-level view offering rather than a one-off unit feature.
Coastline views are present but mentioned less frequently than the other view types. Some listings describe "coastline," "shoreline," or ocean-to-mountain panoramas that imply coastline exposure. The feature appears real, but the evidence is comparatively thinner.
No public remarks reference garden, courtyard, or landscaped views and MLS view_descriptions contain no garden entries. Given the lack of any supporting mentions across listings and historical data, there is strong evidence the building does not offer garden-view units.
Golf course views are clearly established for Island Colony. Many listings specifically reference the "Ala Wai Golf Course" or describe golf course/fairway views from lanais and high floors. This is repeatedly confirmed across multiple remarks.
Marina-type views are well supported, though most remarks use "Ala Wai Canal" or simply "canal" rather than the word marina. Multiple listings also mention harbor-like or water-adjacent vistas alongside ocean/canal views. The evidence is broad and recurring across many agents.
Sunrise views are supported, but less often than mountain, city, or canal views. Several listings explicitly mention "sunrise," "morning sun," or east-facing units with sunrise over Diamond Head. The evidence is enough to keep it as a true building feature.
Sunset views are supported by multiple listings, though less frequently than ocean, mountain, city, or canal views. Several remarks explicitly mention "sunset skies," "sunset view," "west-facing exposure," and even "Friday fireworks." The feature appears real and recurring across the building's high-floor units.
There is no meaningful evidence that Island Colony offers cemetery views. None of the provided remarks mention a cemetery, and the MLS signal is very weak at just 1 of 20 listings with CEMETA. Based on the available remarks, this looks like an isolated MLS anomaly rather than a building feature.
There are direct mentions that units can view Friday fireworks from the lanai, which satisfies the feature definition. This is much stronger than simply being near fireworks, because the remarks describe the view from the unit itself.
No analysis available
Confidence 98%: Numerous listings describe the building as being in the 'center of Waikiki' or 'heart of Waikiki.'
No analysis available
Resident manager support remains credible, with explicit remark evidence stating "Resident manager on site." While fewer current listings mention it than fire sprinklers, the historical MLS data was already strong and there is no conflicting evidence suggesting the feature was removed. This appears to be a legitimate building amenity rather than agent copy-paste noise.
