Kalia
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.
Kalia
Building Overview
Kalia in Waikiki — 14-floor concrete building with pool and ocean views.
About Kalia
Based on MLS data, Kalia is a 14-floor, 303-unit concrete condominium located in the Hobron-Ena district of Waikiki. The building was completed in 1958 and has two elevators.
Key on-site features include a pool, BBQ area, a resident manager, and a security guard. Units are noted as having window air conditioning and the property offers ocean, mountain, and sunset views.
Additional details from MLS indicate parking is available with guest parking, pets are allowed, and short-term rentals are not permitted. The building is managed by Touchstone Properties, Ltd. This summary is based on MLS data; prospective buyers should verify all details independently with the listing agent or management.

I searched for an explicit owner-occupancy percentage or descriptive language like "majority owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied." The listings mention owner-occupant parking preference and owner-occupant suitability, but not an actual building occupancy percentage. Since there is no contrary evidence, the current 40% value is retained with low confidence.
I looked for an exact elevator count such as "2 elevators," "4 elevators," or similar wording, but none was provided in the public remarks. The text does confirm the building has elevators and even suggests keyed/secured elevator access, but it does not verify the number. Per the rules, the current value is kept with low confidence.

Cable TV is strongly confirmed across the building: many remarks explicitly say the fee includes “cable TV,” “cable,” or “Cable TV & internet.” This appears across multiple agents and listing styles, not just one copy-pasted remark set. The evidence is consistent and high confidence.
Common-area costs are mentioned in multiple remarks, especially phrases like "common area maintenance," "other common expenses," and "use of common areas." While this feature is less universally stated than utilities, the recurring references across different listings are enough to confirm it with solid confidence.
No analysis available
Electricity is one of the most consistently confirmed features in the entire set, with historical MLS data showing 20/20 and many remarks explicitly saying “electricity included” or “maintenance fee includes electricity.” The language is repeated across numerous listings and agents, making this extremely reliable. This is a definite building-level included utility.
No analysis available
Hot water is repeatedly named in the fee bundle, with several listings stating “maintenance fee includes hot water” alongside electricity, water, sewer, cable, and internet. While one listing has a water-heater-related inclusion note, the overall evidence still strongly supports building-supplied hot water as included. The repeated phrasing across listings indicates this is a genuine building feature rather than a checkbox error.
Internet service is repeatedly and explicitly included in the monthly fee, often phrased as “high-speed internet,” “internet included,” or “Cable TV & internet.” This appears throughout the remarks from multiple listings, which strongly supports a real building-level amenity. Confidence is very high.
No analysis available
Sewer is one of the most consistently repeated inclusions in the remarks, commonly appearing with electricity, water, cable, and internet. The evidence is broad across listings and aligns closely with the historical MLS data. This is high-confidence building-level confirmation.
Water is consistently listed as included in the maintenance fee, often together with electricity, sewer, cable, and internet. The remarks across many listings repeatedly reinforce this, suggesting a stable and well-known building feature. Confidence is extremely high.
BBQ is consistently supported across the listing remarks, with many units describing a shared "BBQ area," "open BBQ area," or places to "grill your fav food." The evidence appears strong and repeated across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error, matching the already high-confidence MLS history.

Clubhouse support is weaker than BBQ, but it is still present in the remarks. Only a small number of listings reference it directly, including one explicit "clubhouse" mention, while several others describe shared gathering spaces that could align with a clubhouse/community-center style amenity. The evidence is moderate rather than overwhelming, so confidence remains below the BBQ feature.

Despite some MLS checkbox hits, the public remarks do not describe any meeting room, conference room, board room, or similar space. The repeated amenity descriptions center on pool/BBQ/laundry/library/common lounge areas, suggesting the checkbox data may be copy-paste rather than verified.
Strong building-level evidence supports patio/deck amenities. Across many current listings, agents reference an enclosed lanai, covered lanai, rooftop sundeck, sun deck, and a covered patio area by the pool, which appears consistent rather than a one-off copy-paste error. This is confirmed by multiple listings and aligns with the current MLS PATDEC/COVPAT flags.
Walking/jogging path access is supported by explicit remarks. At least one listing says 'private walking paths through the tropical landscape' and another says 'walking/jogging for private/safe exercise,' which is strong building-level evidence. The feature appears in multiple descriptions of the grounds and pathways, not just the MLS checkbox.
No analysis available
There is no clear evidence that units have private yard space. Listings repeatedly mention communal gardens, courtyards, landscaped grounds, and shared outdoor sitting areas, which indicates common property rather than private yards.
No analysis available
Multiple listings describe a shared recreation-oriented common area, including an 'open recreation area in the lobby,' sundecks, and covered lounge spaces. The wording is not identical across agents, but the repeated references make a common recreation area likely.
There is some evidence of shared amenity space, including references to an 'open recreation area in the lobby' and common lounge/sundeck/library areas. However, listings do not consistently call out a true recreation room, so this is only moderately supported and may reflect broader common-area wording.

Multiple listings mention building storage/lockers: public remarks include phrases like "storage unit" and "locked storage on each level," and several listings list storage in MLS amenities (6/20) and unit features (3/20). Evidence is consistent across multiple agents and remarks, supporting that the building offers storage/lockers to residents.
I searched for surfboard storage references such as surf storage, board storage, or combined bike/surfboard storage. The public remarks do not mention any such facility. There is no evidence to support this feature.
No analysis available
Trash chute is not supported by the public remarks. Across the supplied listings, there are repeated references to community laundry, BBQ, pool, security, and rooftop areas, but no mention of a trash, garbage, or refuse chute. The MLS checkbox appears more likely to be an unchecked copy/paste issue than a real amenity.

The Kalia clearly has a shared pool amenity. Dozens of current remarks mention it explicitly, including "heated saltwater pool," "heated pool," "salt water pool," and "resort-style pool," often alongside BBQ, sundeck, and garden amenities. The evidence is consistent across many listings and agents, so this appears to be a well-established building feature rather than copy-paste error.
The pool_heated feature is confirmed by numerous listings, with many remarks saying "heated saltwater pool" or "heated pool." This appears consistently across multiple agents and repeated descriptions, not just a one-off copy-paste error. Historical MLS data also aligns, so confidence is very high.
The public remarks consistently and repeatedly describe the pool as saltwater/salt water, often with wording like "heated saltwater pool" and "salt water swimming pool." This is explicit confirmation. Confidence is very high.
No analysis available
Very strong evidence the building has shared/community laundry facilities. Across many listings, agents repeatedly mention "rooftop community laundry," "community laundry facilities," "laundry facilities," and "on-site laundry," often in nearly identical wording, which suggests consistent building-level amenities rather than isolated unit features. The evidence is repeated across multiple listings and agents, so confidence is very high.
I looked for public-remark wording indicating laundry fees or payment requirements such as coin laundry, card-operated machines, or quarters. The listings mention community laundry facilities but do not say they require payment. There is no evidence in the remarks to confirm paid laundry.
I searched for language like "laundry on every floor," "floor-by-floor laundry," or similar wording. The remarks instead describe rooftop laundry, on-site laundry, or laundry in each tower/building, which does not confirm every floor. Based on the remarks, this feature is not supported.
Parking is confirmed across many listings, with numerous remarks explicitly stating "parking available via waitlist," "parking stall can be rented," or similar wording. The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and listings, so this is strong building-level parking availability rather than a one-off unit feature.
Three of 20 current MLS listings list parking as 'ASSIGN' in parking_features, but none of the public remarks explicitly state 'assigned', 'deeded', or 'designated stall'. Instead many remarks say 'parking available on waitlist', 'rental parking', or 'stall for rent through Kalia', indicating parking is managed via rentals/waitlist rather than assigned stalls. Evidence is mixed: a small minority of MLS records indicate assigned parking, but widespread agent remarks point to waitlist/rental—likely inconsistent checkbox usage across agents.
No analysis available
I looked for deeded parking, owned stalls, or parking included with the unit and found none. The listings consistently describe parking as rented or waitlist-based, which points away from deeded parking.
No analysis available
Multiple remarks state that parking is available for a monthly fee rather than included. The clearest numeric examples are $130/month for upper parking and $140/month for lower parking, so I used the lower stated fee as the value.
There are virtually no public remarks advertising guest/visitor parking; most listings discuss parking only as 'available on waitlist' or rentable stalls for residents. Only 1/20 current MLS entries list GUEST in parking_features, and agent remarks consistently omit any reference to visitor parking, so the building should be treated as not offering dedicated guest parking.

The listings repeatedly mention a parking waitlist system, often in direct terms like "parking available via waitlist" and "wait list basis." This is strong, repeated evidence that parking assignment is managed through a waitlist.
No analysis available
I searched for card/fob/electronic access language and found multiple explicit mentions of key fob access, keyed elevators, and secured/gated entry. This directly confirms card/fob-based security access. Confidence is very high.
Security guard service is strongly supported across the listing set. Multiple remarks from many different listings describe 'security patrol,' 'on-site security,' '24-hour security,' 'security guards,' and even a 'night guard,' indicating this is a real building amenity rather than a copy-paste anomaly. The current remarks align with the historical MLS data, where 17 of 20 listings have SECGUA checked.
The remarks repeatedly mention security patrol, including phrases like "security patrol," "security patrolled property," and similar wording. That is direct confirmation of patrol service. Confidence is very high.

Some unit remarks explicitly say 'Bedrooms with window A/C' and another notes 'Window AC at this unit', and MLS inclusions show ACWIUN (window unit AC) in several records.
Concrete construction is strongly supported across the building’s listings. Current MLS data shows 18 of 20 listings with CONCRE, and the remarks are consistent with a permanent multi-story Waikiki co-op/condo property. The evidence appears to be repeat MLS usage rather than a one-off agent entry.
Double-wall construction is not supported by the public remarks. Across the many Kalia listings provided, there are no explicit references to double-wall construction or similar language such as 'two walls,' and the MLS checkbox appears only rarely (2 of 20). This looks more like noisy MLS data than a confirmed building feature.
Minimal MLS support (1 of 20 listings) and no corroborating language in public remarks. With no agent remarks describing 'hollow tile' and only a single MLS checkbox, the evidence indicates hollow tile construction is unlikely and the single checkbox appears to be an outlier or data error.
Only 3 of 20 MLS listings include 'MASSTU' for masonry & stucco, and none of the public remarks mention masonry or stucco. Because a minority of listings check the box and remarks are silent, the evidence is limited and could reflect inconsistent agent checkbox usage; retained as true with moderate confidence pending stronger confirming evidence or a user/site verification.

There is no explicit remark evidence that the building was constructed above ground. Only 2 of 20 current listings mark ABOGRO, which looks more like inconsistent MLS entry than confirmed building fact. Given the lack of supporting remarks and the mostly unchecked current data, this is treated as not supported.
Confidence 75%: MLS lists BRICK as a construction material in 3/20 listings; remarks only mention 'brick colored tile' on a lanai, which is non-structural but consistent with some brick-like finishes.
No analysis available
I searched for short-term rental permission, NUC/TVU references, hotel-style STR language, and vacation rental wording, but found none. The explicit 90-day minimum rental term is strong evidence against STRs being allowed.
I looked for hotel rental pool language such as Hilton pool, hotel program, or managed-by-hotel references and found nothing. Since the remarks indicate STR is not allowed, a hotel pool arrangement would also be false.
I searched for mandatory pool language such as required participation, cannot opt out, or must rent through a program and found nothing. Because there is no evidence of an STR or hotel rental pool program, mandatory participation is not supported.

The public remarks consistently identify 2048 as the lease expiration year across many listings. I also saw a few off-topic references to a tenant's lease ending in 2025/2027, but those are individual occupancy leases, not the building land lease.
I searched the public remarks for explicit VA-related language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted" and found none. One comment says "Long land lease so possible to get financing," but that is general financing language, not VA-specific.
I looked for any language indicating the HOA provides full walls-in coverage or that the building is fully insured. The remarks discuss maintenance fees, utilities, taxes, and amenities, but not insurance coverage. With no supporting evidence in the remarks, this is marked false with low confidence.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for fire/life safety evaluation language, including FLSE, life safety compliant, fire safety certified, and passed inspection references. Nothing in the listing text confirms that the building has passed a fire/life safety evaluation. With no explicit mention, this is marked false at low-to-medium confidence.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Multiple listings explicitly reference ocean or "peekaboo" ocean views — phrases include "peekaboo ocean views", "partial ocean views", and "patches of ocean views." These mentions appear in many different public remarks from multiple agents (several listings), so despite 0/20 MLS view_descriptions flagged OCEAN, there is clear evidence that some units provide ocean views.
MLS lists MOUNTA for at least one unit, and remarks mention 'trade winds from the mountains', 'mountain and city views', and Diamond Head views (a prominent mountain landmark).
No analysis available
Strong evidence that The Kalia offers city-view units. Across the remarks, multiple listings explicitly mention city views or urban/downtown-style outlooks, including quotes such as "unobstructed city views," "breathtaking city views," and "sunset, city, mountain & garden views." The consistency across many listings and multiple agents supports this as a real building feature rather than copy-paste noise.
No analysis available
Garden/courtyard/landscaped views are strongly supported across many listings and agents, not just one or two remarks. Public remarks repeatedly mention phrases like 'lush tropical gardens,' 'beautifully landscaped grounds,' 'peaceful courtyard setting,' and specific units overlooking 'the garden area' or 'interior gardens.' This is consistent with the current MLS data showing GARDEN in 8 of 20 listings and no listings marked NONE.

Sunset views are well supported across multiple listings, with several agents explicitly describing 'beautiful sunset,' 'incredible sunset,' and 'Sunset, city, mountain & garden views.' One remark even notes a lanai with 'sunset' views, while others reference western-facing exposure through evening-light descriptions. This appears to be a real building-level view feature rather than a copy-paste anomaly.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit view language like "fireworks view from unit," "watch fireworks from lanai," or similar. One remark references being near the "Friday night fireworks," but that is location-based rather than a view from the building. No remarks confirm fireworks are visible from units.

The evidence is overwhelming that The Kalia has a resident manager / on-site management. Multiple current remarks explicitly mention "resident manager," "on-site management," and "General mgr.," and several listings advise buyers to check with the Resident Manager for parking or building details. This appears consistent across many agents and looks like a stable building feature rather than a copy-paste error.
No analysis available
The building is consistently described as a cooperative across the listing set, with numerous remarks using phrases like "leasehold co-op," "leasehold cooperative," "co-op," and "cooperative home." The evidence appears across many different listings/agents and is reinforced by current MLS association fee data showing COOTAX in 8/20 listings. This is very strong building-level confirmation that The Kalia is a co-op rather than a condominium.
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.
