Island Colony

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.

Owner Occupancy
10%
Low

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.

Elevators
4
High

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.

Association Fee Low
$475
High

Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Association Fee High
$930
High

Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Association Fee (Penthouse)
$543
High

Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.

Fee Includes Central AC
No
High

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.

Fee Includes Cable
Yes
High

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.

Fee Includes Common
Yes
Medium

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.

Fee Includes Coop Taxes
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Electricity
No
High

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.

Fee Includes Gas
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Hot Water
Yes
High

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.

Fee Includes Internet
Yes
High

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.

Fee Includes Marina
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Sewer
Yes
High

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.

Fee Includes Water
Yes
High

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
Yes
High

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 Room
Yes
High

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.

Limo Service
No

No analysis available

Meeting Room
Yes
High

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
Yes
High

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.

Path Jogging
No

Playground

Private Yard

Putting Green
No

Recreation Area
Yes
High

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.

Recreation Room
Yes
High

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.

Restaurant
Yes
High

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.

Rooftop
No

No analysis available

Sauna
Yes
High

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.

Storage Unit
Yes
High

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.

Surfboard Storage
Yes
High

The remarks directly confirm surfboard storage facilities. Multiple listings mention surfboard storage or surfboard lockers, which is strong evidence for this feature.

Tennis Court
Yes

No analysis available

Trash Chute
Yes
High

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.

Valet
No

No analysis available

Wall Fence
No

No analysis available

Whirlpool
Yes
High

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
Yes
High

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.

Pool Heated
Yes
High

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.

Pool Salt
No
Low

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.

Laundry In Unit
No
High

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
Yes
High

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.

Community Laundry Paid
Yes
High

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.

Community Laundry Every Floor
No
Low

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
Yes
High

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.

Parking Assigned
No

No analysis available

Parking Covered
Yes
High

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.

Parking Deeded
No
High

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.

Parking E V
No

No analysis available

Parking Fee
$35
Low

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.

Parking Guest
Yes
Medium

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.

Parking Secured Entry
No
High

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.

Parking Tandem
No

No analysis available

Parking Valet
No

No analysis available

Parking Waitlist
Yes
High

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.

Security Keyed Elevator
Yes

No analysis available

Security Card
Yes
High

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
Yes
High

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.

Security Patrol
No
Low

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.

Security Video
Yes

No analysis available

Central AC
No

No analysis available

Split AC
Yes
High

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 AC
Yes
High

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.

Concrete
Yes
High

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
No
High

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.

Hollow Tile
No

No analysis available

Masonry/Stucco
No
High

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
No
High

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.

Slab
No
Low

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.

Stone
No

No analysis available

Wood Frame
No

No analysis available

Above Ground
Yes
High

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.

Brick
No

No analysis available

Single Wall
No

No analysis available

STR Allowed
Yes
High

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.

STR Hotel Pool
Yes
High

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.

STR Mandatory Pool
No
High

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.

Land Tenure: Fee Simple
Yes

No analysis available

Land Tenure: Leasehold
Yes

No analysis available

Lease Expiry Year
Low

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.

Financing V A
No
High

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.

Insured Fully
Yes
High

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
Yes
High

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.

Fire Life Safety Eval Pass
No
Low

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 (Current)
AO
High

Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Flood Zone (June 2026)
AO

No analysis available

View: Ocean
Yes
High

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.

View: Mountain
Yes
High

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.

View: Diamond Head
Yes
High

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.

View: City
Yes
High

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.

View: Coastline
Yes
High

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.

View: Garden
No
High

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.

View: Golf Course
Yes
High

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.

View: Marina
Yes
High

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.

View: Sunrise
Yes
High

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.

View: Sunset
Yes
High

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.

View: Cemetery
No
High

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.

Fireworks View
Yes
High

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.

Frontage Type
Stream/Canal

No analysis available

Central Waikiki
Yes
High

Confidence 98%: Numerous listings describe the building as being in the 'center of Waikiki' or 'heart of Waikiki.'

Pets Allowed
No

No analysis available

Resident Manager
Yes
High

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.

Condotel
Yes

No analysis available

Coop
No

No analysis available

Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
