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.
Kailani
Building Overview
Kailani in Waikiki: 12-floor concrete building (1970) with pool, resident manager, ocean and mountain views.

About Kailani
Kailani is a 12-floor, 51-unit concrete building located in Central Waikiki. According to available records the building was built in 1970 and contains two elevators.
Based on MLS data, key features include an on-site pool, a resident manager, and ocean and mountain views. Units use window air conditioning. Pets are allowed and short-term rentals are not permitted. The property is managed by Hawaiiana Management Company, Ltd.
Parking is available and provided as covered, assigned stalls. Buyers should verify all details, including fees, rules, and unit-specific information, as this summary is based on MLS data only.
Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
MLS property data is fully consistent, with all eight listings showing 1970 as the construction year. Since no remarks suggest a different build or full reconstruction date, 1970 is accepted as the year built with high confidence.
No remarks give an explicit total floor count, but MLS unit floor data includes units on the 12th floor and none higher. Following the rule to use the highest observed floor number when explicit totals are absent, the building is treated as having 12 floors, though it may have additional unobserved levels.
Two separate sets of remarks describe the property as having 'Only 51 units in the building' and 'A mere 51 units in the building,' suggesting consistent information likely shared by the association or management. No remarks contradict this figure, so 51 units is adopted as the building total.
I searched for explicit percentages or phrases like '80% owner occupied' or 'majority owner occupied' and found none. Per the rules, because a current value exists and remarks do not mention this field, I retained the current value but with low confidence.
Remarks confirm elevator work/upgrades but never state a specific number. I searched the public remarks for explicit counts (e.g., '2 elevators', 'four elevators', 'multiple elevators') and only found references to upgrades. Per rules, keep the current value when no explicit number is provided.
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.
None of the 8 listings indicate central AC is included in the fees (no ACCEN flagged). One listing specifically references 'window unit AC', suggesting cooling is unit-based rather than a central system covered by maintenance fees.
All 10 current MLS listings mark cable TV (CABTV) as included in the association/maintenance fees. Public remarks for the building do not explicitly mention cable, but there is no contradictory information. The consistent checkbox across many listings (10/10) suggests the HOA includes cable, though agent copy/paste is possible.
Nine of ten current MLS listings include OTCOEX (common area electricity) in the association fee includes. Public remarks do not mention common-area electric specifically, but the repeated MLS coding across listings provides strong evidence the HOA covers common-area electricity.
No listings mark cooperative taxes (COOTAX) in the association fee fields. The remarks repeatedly refer to the property as a 'condominium' with an AOAO, which effectively rules out co-op tax inclusion.
None of the 8 current listings indicate that in-unit electricity (ELECTR) is included in the maintenance fees. The remarks are silent on electric being included, which for this market and building type strongly implies it is separately metered and paid by occupants.
Gas is not checked as an included fee item (GAS) on any of the 8 listings. There is no mention of gas appliances or gas utilities in the remarks, so it is very unlikely that gas is included in the association fees.
All 10 MLS listings list HOTWAT as included in the association fees, and none list WTRHTR (individual water heater) in inclusions. Public remarks for the building do not state otherwise. The consistent checkbox across listings indicates hot water is likely included in the maintenance fee.
None of the listings mark internet service (INTSER) as included in the association fees. The public remarks do not reference 'internet included' or building Wi-Fi, so internet service is almost certainly billed separately to residents.
None of the 8 listings show marina fees (MARINA) included in association fees, nor do the remarks mention boat slips or marina amenities. The building is described as centrally located in Waikiki near the Ala Wai Canal, not as a marina property, so marina costs are not included in fees.
Every current MLS entry (10/10) shows SEWER as part of the association fee. There are no public remarks or verifications indicating separate sewer billing. The uniform MLS coding across listings provides strong evidence sewer is included.
All 10 MLS listings indicate WATER is included in the association fees. Public remarks for the building do not mention separate water billing. The repeated inclusion across multiple listings suggests the HOA includes water in the maintenance fee.
None of the 8 remarks mention BBQ, grills, or an outdoor cooking area. Given that agents do highlight the pool and other details, the absence of any BBQ description plus 0/8 MLS checkboxes indicates there is no shared BBQ facility.
The 8 listings for this building describe amenities such as pool, community laundry, secure covered parking, and resident manager, but never bike storage or similar facilities. The consistent absence of any bike-storage mentions or MLS amenity checkmarks strongly indicates that the building does not have dedicated bicycle storage.
Remarks note Ala Wai Canal and ocean views and walkability but say nothing about boating or dock access. Given that the MARINA amenity is unchecked in all MLS entries, it is very likely there is no boat dock associated with this building.
Listings reference covered and secured parking, but never a car wash bay or vehicle wash facility. The consistent lack of mention and unchecked MLS amenity indicate that a dedicated car wash is not provided.
A clubhouse is typically heavily marketed, yet none of the 8 listings mention one. Given that MLS amenities also show 0/8 for clubhouse, this strongly supports that the building does not have a clubhouse facility.
Across 8 listings, there are no references to 'concierge', 'concierge service', or a staffed front desk, while CONCIE is never selected. The only staff role mentioned is a resident manager, so the building very likely does not offer concierge services.
Remarks mention that the building is pet-friendly, but there is no indication of a dedicated dog park or dog run. Since no MLS entries mark a dog park feature, it appears pets are allowed without a specific dog park amenity.
None of the 8 remarks use terms like 'doorman' or 'lobby attendant', and DOORMA is 0/8 in the MLS data. The building is described as a 'secure boutique building' with a resident manager, indicating there is no doorman service.
Across 8 listings, no agent remarks reference a gym, fitness center, or exercise room. MLS amenities are uniformly unchecked for this feature, which would typically be marketed if present. This strongly suggests the building does not offer an exercise room.
This is a boutique Waikiki condo, and the marketing emphasizes location and unit flexibility rather than hotel-style services. With 0/8 MLS indications and no textual evidence, it is almost certain there is no limousine or building car service.
Agents describe the building as a small boutique condominium with 51 units and standard amenities like pool and laundry, but not any meeting or conference rooms. The complete absence of such mentions plus unchecked amenities suggests there is no dedicated meeting room.
Multiple independent listings emphasize that units have one or more large lanais/balconies, with some noting over 200 sqft of balcony space and board-approved lanai enclosure plans. Even though the MLS amenity checkbox is inconsistently used, the remarks across all listings show that patio/deck-style outdoor space is a standard feature in this building.
While the building is close to the Ala Wai Canal and Waikiki streets, agents do not describe any dedicated jogging or walking paths as building amenities. The absence in both remarks and MLS amenities suggests there is no formal jogging path feature.
The building is marketed as a boutique Waikiki condominium with pool and lanais, not as a family complex with playgrounds. The consistent omission of any play area in remarks and MLS amenities indicates there is no playground on site.
All outdoor space described is in the form of lanais/balconies, not ground-level yards (e.g., 'two lanais', 'balcony space'). With no reference to any private yard or enclosed yard area and no MLS indication, it is very likely this building does not offer private yard space.
A putting green would be a notable luxury amenity and likely mentioned with the views and pool, yet it never appears in any listing text. With 0/8 MLS checkmarks, it is very likely there is no putting green at this building.
Agents highlight the on-site pool and lanai enclosure plans but do not describe any amenity or recreation deck. With 0/8 MLS indications for a recreation area, it appears the pool is the primary amenity rather than a larger recreation deck.
Public remarks focus on the pool, lanais, parking, and resident manager but never mention a recreation/game room. Combined with the absence of the RECROO checkbox in all listings, this indicates the building does not provide a dedicated recreation room.
Multiple remarks note being close to entertainment and restaurants in Waikiki and nearby hotels, but none state that a restaurant is in the building. Since no MLS listing flags a restaurant amenity, the building appears not to have an on-site restaurant.
If a rooftop deck existed, it would almost certainly be promoted alongside the ocean and canal views, but it is never mentioned. Zero MLS rooftop amenity checkmarks further confirm that the building lacks shared rooftop amenities.
Agents do not reference any sauna or steam facilities when describing building amenities, focusing instead on the pool, lanais, and parking. Combined with 0/8 MLS sauna checkmarks, this indicates the building does not have a sauna.
None of the 8 listings mention storage lockers or extra storage, and MLS amenities for all of them omit any storage-related options. Given multiple agents and detailed remarks highlighting other amenities (pool, laundry, resident manager, parking) but never storage, the building likely does not offer dedicated storage units.
The public remarks list amenities such as pool, secured/covered parking, resident manager, pet-friendliness, and lanai enclosure approvals, but do not mention any surfboard-specific storage. I searched for phrases like 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', and 'bike and surfboard storage' with no results. In the absence of any explicit reference, it is moderately likely the building does not have dedicated surfboard storage.
Tennis courts are a major amenity that agents normally promote, yet none of the 8 sets of remarks mention them. With 0/8 MLS tennis court checkboxes, it is highly likely the building has no tennis court.
Most listings (6/8) explicitly mark a trash chute amenity in MLS, and no remarks suggest otherwise. Given the building's high-rise configuration and typical design for this area, it is highly likely that trash chutes are provided on the floors.
Parking is repeatedly described as secured/covered and conveniently located, with no references to valet parking or valet services. Given the small boutique character ('only 51 units') and lack of any valet mention, the building very likely does not offer valet service.
Listings refer to 'secured parking gate' and 'secured and covered parking' but do not describe the building as gated, walled, or fenced, and GATED/WALFEN are 0/8 in the MLS data. This suggests the property itself is not enclosed by a perimeter wall or fence, beyond normal garage gating.
Several remarks explicitly mention an on-site pool or swimming pool, but none mention a hot tub, jacuzzi, or spa. The lack of any whirlpool references and unchecked MLS amenity strongly suggest there is no whirlpool at this property.
High-confidence evidence the building has a shared swimming pool: MLS checkbox is set on all listings (10/10) and at least five separate public-remarks blocks explicitly mention a pool, including phrases like "Kailani features a pool" and "on-site swimming pool." Multiple agents and listings independently reference the amenity, so the building-level pool is strongly supported.
No listing remarks mention a heated pool, only a generic on-site swimming pool, and the dedicated MLS heated-pool fields are consistently unchecked across all current listings. Given how often agents highlight heated pools when present, this strongly suggests the building’s pool is not heated. If the pool is later upgraded to heated, new remarks and MLS data would likely reflect that change.
Remarks consistently confirm the presence of a pool but never specify that it is salt water. I searched for terms like 'salt water pool', 'saltwater', 'saline', and 'salt pool' and found no matches. In the absence of any explicit mention, the pool is assumed not to be salt water.
0/8 current MLS listings check washer/dryer in the inclusions and none of the public remarks mention in-unit laundry, stacked washer/dryer, or similar terms. Given multiple renovated and high-end marketed units that still do not advertise in-unit laundry, it is very likely this building does not offer in-unit laundry in its units.
MLS data shows 9 of 10 listings list COMLAU and several agent remarks explicitly state "community laundry on multiple floors." The repeated phrasing appears in multiple listings (agents may copy/paste), but combined with the strong MLS checkbox consistency this provides high confidence that the building has shared laundry facilities.
The remarks reference community laundry but never describe it as coin-operated, card-operated, or otherwise paid. In the absence of any explicit indication that payment is required, this field is set to false with medium-low confidence.
Public remarks confirm there is community laundry 'on multiple floors,' which implies availability on some but not necessarily all floors. There are no phrases like 'on every floor' or 'on each floor,' so it does not meet the definition of laundry on every floor.
Multiple listings state the units include parking, e.g., “1-parking unit” and “This unit includes one … parking space.” All 8 current MLS entries show some type of parking (open, covered, or garage), indicating building-wide parking availability rather than an isolated feature. The consistency across many agents suggests this is accurate, not copy‑paste error.
Strong evidence that units include assigned parking: at least 8 of the 10 current listings/remarks reference a dedicated parking stall (e.g., '1-parking residence', 'this unit comes with one secured, covered parking space'). Historical MLS data (8/10 ASSIGN) aligns with repeated agent remarks across different listings, so this appears to be a building-level offering rather than a single listing anomaly.
Covered parking is strongly supported: the MLS checkbox data lists covered/garage types for all 10 listings and numerous remarks state 'covered parking' or 'covered and secured parking' (e.g., 'covered and secured parking on the top level', 'one secured, covered parking space'). Evidence is consistent across many agent remarks and historical data.
Listings consistently mention secured, covered parking included with units, but none state the parking is deeded or included in the deed. In the absence of explicit 'deeded' language, deeded parking is set to false with low confidence.
None of the public remarks reference EV charging, Tesla chargers, or any kind of charging station despite multiple detailed descriptions of the building’s parking. The MLS data also uniformly omits any EV-related feature codes. Given this consistent absence, it is very likely the building does not currently offer dedicated EV charging stations.
I searched for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', and similar phrases. The remarks describe parking as included/secured but provide no separate fee amount, so monthly parking fee is unknown.
Remarks focus on each unit’s own stall (often “one secured, covered parking space”) without any reference to “guest parking” or “visitor stalls.” For a small 51‑unit boutique building, guest parking would normally be highlighted if available. The total lack of mention plus MLS data strongly suggests there is no dedicated guest parking area.
Secured parking is well-supported: at least 7 of the 10 listings/remarks explicitly use 'secured' (examples: 'one secured, covered parking space', 'covered and secured parking on the top level'). Consistent agent language across many listings and MLS flags indicates the parking area has secured entry.
Every listing that specifies parking describes a single stall, such as “one secured, covered parking space,” with no indication of back‑to‑back or tandem arrangements. Tandem parking is typically highlighted due to its impact on usability, but it is never mentioned here. Combined with the lack of a TANDEM code in the MLS, this strongly indicates there is no tandem parking configuration in the building.
The building is described as a small, 51‑unit “boutique condominium” with secured covered stalls, but there is no reference to valet service or attendants. In Waikiki, valet is usually prominently advertised where available. The total absence of such mentions and lack of a VALET code in MLS data make it highly likely there is no valet parking at this property.
I looked for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', and related phrases. There is no reference to a waitlist system; therefore parking_waitlist is set to false with medium/low confidence due to absence of explicit denial.
Remarks confirm the presence of elevators and recent upgrades but never mention 'keyed elevator', 'fob elevator', or restricted access. Given 0/8 ELEVAT checkboxes and no textual references to secure elevator access, the building elevators are very likely not key- or fob-controlled.
The remarks frequently describe the building and parking as 'secure' or 'secured' but never specify a card or fob-based access system. I searched for terms like key card, keycard, fob, card reader, and electronic access and found none, so a dedicated card/fob access system is unlikely based on available remarks.
None of the 8 listings mention a security guard or 24/7 security, and the SECGUA checkbox is 0/8. The building is consistently described as a 'secure building' with a resident manager, suggesting security is managed by building access features and management, not by guards.
While security is mentioned generally, there is no indication of an active security patrol service. I specifically looked for phrases such as 'security patrol', 'roving security', and 'patrolled building' and found no evidence that such a service is provided.
All 8 listings are silent on any 'security cameras', 'CCTV', or 'video surveillance', even while promoting the building as 'secure.' With SECSYS unchecked in every MLS record, it is likely the building does not have a marketed video security system beyond any minimal, unadvertised cameras.
Across 8 listings for the Kailani, none advertise central air or HVAC, and the MLS central AC checkbox is consistently unchecked (0/8). One unit is specifically described as having 'window unit AC,' which is inconsistent with a central system. This pattern across multiple agents strongly indicates the building does not offer central air conditioning.
None of the 8 reviewed listings mention or checkbox any form of split or ductless AC, and there are no remarks using terms like 'mini-split' or 'split system.' Instead, at least one unit is described as having 'window unit AC,' making it unlikely that split systems are a recognized feature of this building. Given the lack of any supporting evidence, split AC is treated as not present at the building level.
MLS checkbox data strongly indicates window AC: 8/10 recent listings include ACWIUN. None of the public remarks explicitly mention 'window AC' or 'window unit', but the repeated MLS inclusion across multiple agents suggests the building/units have window air conditioners rather than this being isolated copy/paste error.
All 10 current MLS listings mark construction material as 'CONCRE' and prior historical data indicated reinforced concrete. Although none of the public remarks explicitly state 'concrete' or 'reinforced concrete', the unanimous MLS checkbox across multiple listings (likely different postings/agents) and prior high-confidence records provide strong evidence the building is concrete-constructed.
Agents never mark double-wall construction and instead describe a concrete high-rise with spalling repairs. This supports that double-wall construction is not a building characteristic here.
None of the listings mention hollow tile, and the building is treated purely as concrete construction in MLS. This makes hollow-tile construction very unlikely.
There are no references to masonry or stucco in any listing, and agents consistently classify the building only as concrete. This indicates the structure is not categorized as masonry/stucco in MLS terms.
No listings identify the building as steel frame; instead they consistently classify it as concrete with spalling repairs. This strongly indicates it is not a steel-frame building in MLS terms.
Across all listings, the slab construction option is never used and there is no textual mention of a slab foundation. Given the consistent MLS pattern, the building is not represented as 'slab' construction.
No analysis available
Across 8 listings, no agent has ever marked wood frame, and remarks only reference concrete-related issues like spalling. This Waikiki high-rise is clearly not wood-frame construction.
No listing identifies the structure as 'above ground' construction, and the described concrete high-rise form does not fit that MLS category. Evidence points to it not being classified as above-ground construction.
No remarks or MLS fields reference any brick exterior or brick construction. All evidence points to a concrete high-rise with no brick structure.
This is a concrete high-rise, not an old Hawaiian single-wall structure. No listings or remarks suggest any single-wall construction elements.
I searched for 'short-term rental', 'vacation rental', 'STR', 'TVU', 'NUC', and minimum night rules. The remarks discuss rental income potential but provide no explicit allowance for short-term or hotel-type rentals, so STR allowed is set to false with low-to-medium confidence.
There is no language about hotel rental pools, branded hotel management, or hotel-operated rental programs. Because the remarks contain no hotel pool references and STR is not supported by the remarks, hotel pool participation is set to false with high confidence.
No listing language indicates any mandatory participation in a rental program; combined with absence of a hotel pool and no STR allowance, mandatory pool participation is set to false with high confidence.
Across eight separate listings, none mention 'leasehold', 'LH', lease rent, or lease expiry, which would normally be prominently disclosed in Waikiki if applicable. This repeated omission strongly suggests the units are Fee Simple, so the building is treated as offering Fee Simple tenure (8 of 8 observed listings appear to be FS, 0 leasehold mentioned).
No listing remarks reference leasehold terminology or lease terms, and marketing language reads like standard Fee Simple Waikiki condos. Given eight such listings and no contrary evidence, it's highly likely there are no leasehold units in this building (0 of 8 observed listings appear to be LH).
I searched the remarks for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease', 'leasehold', and four-digit years tied to lease expiry. No leasehold language or expiry year was present, so the lease expiry year is unknown.
Multiple listings explicitly state the building is VA approved (e.g., "VA approved building and pet friendly, too."). This is a direct mention in the public remarks, so VA financing acceptance is set to true with high confidence.
I searched the remarks for insurance phrases such as 'fully insured', 'full insurance', 'walls-in coverage', and 'comprehensive building insurance' and found no references. With no explicit statement that the HOA provides full building insurance, set to false with medium confidence.
Across all provided remarks, agents describe many building features (pool, security, management, elevator upgrades) but never mention fire sprinklers or a sprinkler retrofit. Given the 1970 build date and consistent silence on this safety feature, it's very likely the building does not have a full fire sprinkler system.
I searched the remarks for terms like 'fire life safety evaluation', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', and 'passed fire inspection' and found no references. Because there is no explicit mention and no current true value, the feature is set to false with medium confidence.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.
No analysis available
Multiple listings (at least 3–4 of the provided remarks) explicitly reference ocean or Ala Wai Canal views, including phrases like 'stunning views of the ocean and Ala Wai Canal' and 'Enjoy the ocean and Ala Wai canal view from either of the large lanais.' Historical MLS data also showed ocean listed for some units, so evidence is strong across multiple listings that the building offers ocean-view units.
A high-floor listing explicitly mentions 'mountain views' along with canal views. With MOUNTA checked in the MLS for 3/8 units, it is clear that some units in this building enjoy mountain views.
Neither agent remarks nor MLS view descriptors reference Diamond Head views, even where views are carefully described. Given repeated mention of other view types instead, it is very likely that units here do not offer meaningful Diamond Head views.
MLS checkbox data shows CITY on 3 of 10 listings, though none of the supplied public remarks explicitly say 'city view'—remarks focus on ocean, canal, mountain, and proximity to Waikiki. Because multiple listings have the city view box checked but public remarks do not clearly describe city views, evidence is moderate that some units may have city views.
High-floor units with ocean views near Waikiki Beach are likely to capture some coastline perspective, and COASTL appears once in the MLS view data. While not as frequently noted as ocean or canal views, this supports the presence of coastline views in certain units.
Agents emphasize urban amenities and water/mountain views, not landscaped or courtyard outlooks. The absence of any garden-view references in remarks and MLS data indicates that garden views are not a characteristic feature here.
Remarks consistently highlight ocean, canal, and mountain views but never reference a golf course. Combined with 0/8 MLS entries marking GOLCOU, this strongly suggests that units in this building do not have golf course views.
Multiple listings describe 'great view of the Ala Wai Canal' and 'ocean and Ala Wai canal view', indicating direct canal/marina outlooks. With MARCAN checked in most MLS entries, marina/canal views are clearly a key feature for many units.
View descriptions focus on ocean, canal, and mountain vistas rather than directional light or sunrise. With no sunrise-related language in remarks or MLS, it is unlikely that sunrise views are a marketed or notable feature of this building.
Although the building has ocean and canal views, agents never highlight sunsets or western exposure in remarks or MLS data. This consistent omission suggests sunset views are not a distinctive selling point for units here.
Across eight listings, there is no reference to cemetery outlooks, negative or positive, and the surrounding context is beaches, canal, and urban Waikiki. Given 0/8 MLS entries for cemetery view, it is very likely that no units face a cemetery.
Searched for references to watching fireworks from the unit or lanai (e.g., 'fireworks view', 'watch Friday night fireworks'), but found none. Given multiple detailed view descriptions without fireworks mentioned, it is likely there is no notable fireworks view.
No analysis available
Several agents independently market the building as pet-friendly, directly calling it a 'pet-friendly' or 'pet friendly' building. There are no contradictory 'no pets' statements, so pets are clearly allowed, subject to any standard house rules or verification of details.
High-confidence evidence that the building has a resident manager: MLS amenities previously showed RESMAN checked in 8 of 10 listings, and multiple current remarks explicitly state an "on-site resident manager" or "resident manager" (appearing in at least 4 separate listing remarks). The consistency between MLS checkbox data and repeated remarks across different listings indicates this is an actual building feature rather than a single-agent copy/paste error.
While some listings highlight rental potential (e.g., renting a studio portion separately), they describe conventional long-term or flexible-use condominium ownership rather than a hotel-managed rental pool. The absence of any hotel-operation language strongly indicates this is not a condotel.
All marketing language frames the property as a fee-simple condominium, not a cooperative, and there is no sign of co-op tax or share terminology. This strongly supports that the building is not a co-op.
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.
