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 a direct owner-occupancy percentage or descriptive phrases such as "majority owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied," but found none. The remarks do mention owner-occupants in the context of parking and suitability, which suggests owner occupancy is relevant but does not quantify it. Keeping the current value of 40.0 because there is no explicit evidence to replace it.
I searched the remarks for an explicit elevator count such as "2 elevators," "4 elevators," or similar wording, but none was stated. The listings do repeatedly reference elevator access and secured/keyed elevators, which supports that elevators exist but does not confirm the number. Keeping the current value of 2 with low confidence because there is no direct evidence to change it.

Cable TV is consistently confirmed across the listing remarks, with many units stating variations of "Cable TV included" or "Cable" as part of the maintenance/association fees. Several listings also mention a separate cable charge, which still corroborates that the building offers cable service in the fee structure. Evidence is broad and appears repeatedly across many agents, not just copy-paste.
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 listing set. Dozens of remarks explicitly say the fee includes electricity, often bundled with water, sewer, cable, and internet. This is strong, building-level evidence with no meaningful contradiction.
No analysis available
Hot water is explicitly included in several listings, including wording like "Maintenance Fee includes: Electricity, Hot Water, Sewer, Water, Internet, and Cable TV." The mention is repeated enough across the remarks to confirm the feature at building level. The WTRHTR hint does not appear to indicate a contradiction here.
Internet service is repeatedly called out in the remarks, often in the standard bundle of utilities included in the monthly fee. Multiple listings say "internet" or "wifi" is part of the maintenance/association fee, supporting a high-confidence confirmation. The consistency across many agents suggests this is a real building feature, not a checkbox error.
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 across many remarks. Listings frequently bundle water with electricity, sewer, cable, and internet, which makes this a stable building feature rather than an isolated agent note. The evidence is strong and repetitive.
BBQ is consistently mentioned across many listings, with multiple agents describing a shared 'BBQ area' and even an 'open BBQ area' or 'BBQ grilling area.' The evidence is repetitive and clearly refers to a common building amenity, not a unit-specific feature.

There is limited but real support for a clubhouse-like amenity, with at least one remark explicitly using 'clubhouse' and others describing communal lounge and gathering spaces. Because the references are sparse, confidence is moderate rather than high.

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 looked for surfboard-storage language, including surf storage, board storage, and combined bike/surfboard storage. Nothing in the public remarks indicates such a facility. Based on the available text, this feature is not confirmed.
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 swimming pool. Multiple listings explicitly mention it, including "heated saltwater pool," "salt water pool," "resort-style pool," and simple references to a "pool" or "swimming pool." The evidence is consistent across many agents and appears to reflect an actual common amenity, not a copy-paste anomaly.
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.
I looked for clear salt-water pool wording such as saltwater, salt water, or saline pool. The remarks repeatedly and consistently describe the pool as salt water, so this is strongly confirmed.
No analysis available
Strong, repeated evidence confirms The Kalia has shared/community laundry facilities. At least 20+ listings mention it in similar wording, including 'community laundry,' 'laundry facilities,' 'on-site laundry,' 'roof top laundry,' and 'laundry in each tower,' which suggests this is a stable building amenity rather than a one-off agent note. The consistency across multiple listings and agents makes this very high confidence.
I searched for paid-laundry language such as coin laundry, coin-op, card access, quarters, or laundry charges. The remarks only describe community laundry facilities without any payment details. Because no paid-laundry wording appears, this remains unconfirmed and is treated as absent in the remarks.
I looked for wording like laundry on each floor, floor-by-floor laundry, or laundry on every floor. The public remarks mention rooftop laundry and laundry in each tower, but nothing that clearly indicates every floor has its own laundry facility. Based on the remarks, this feature is not confirmed.
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 searched for deeded parking, owned stall, or parking included in deed and found no such language. Instead, the remarks repeatedly indicate parking is rental/waitlist-based, which argues against deeded parking.
No analysis available
The listings consistently show parking is not included and is rented for a monthly fee when available. Since the remarks provide a range, I used the lower stated monthly amount of $130 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.

I searched for parking waitlist language and found many explicit mentions across the listings. This is strongly supported and repeatedly stated.
No analysis available
I searched for card, fob, or electronic access terms. The remarks clearly confirm fob/keyed access to the property and elevators, so this feature is supported.
Security guard service is strongly supported across the listing set. Dozens of remarks from multiple listings mention phrases like "security patrol," "on-site security," "24-hour security," "security guards," and "security desk," which looks consistent across agents rather than copy-paste noise. This aligns with the current MLS amenities flag showing SECGUA in 17/20 listings.
I looked for patrol-service wording such as security patrol, roving security, or a patrolled building. The public remarks repeatedly state that the building has security patrol, so this is confirmed with very high confidence.

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 by the current MLS data, with 18 of 20 listings marked CONCRE. The public remarks across many listings consistently reference the same established building and do not contradict concrete construction, so this appears to be a reliable building-level feature. Evidence looks consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste anomaly.
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.

Only 2 of 20 current listings mark ABOGRO, and the public remarks do not explicitly say the building was constructed above ground. The strongest support is indirect from descriptions of a multi-story tower with breezeways and elevators, so this feature is only weakly 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 looked for short-term rental permission, NUC/TVU references, vacation rental wording, or hotel-style STR language and found none. The stated 90-day minimum strongly suggests short-term rentals are not allowed.
I searched for hotel rental pool, hotel program, managed-by-hotel, or branded pool references and found nothing. Because there is no evidence that STR is allowed, this must remain false.
I looked for wording like mandatory pool, required to participate, or cannot opt out and found none. Since there is no evidence of any STR program, mandatory pool participation is also false.

The public remarks consistently identify 2048 as the land lease expiration year. This appears repeatedly across many listings and is the strongest-supported value in the data.
I searched the public remarks for explicit VA-related language, including VA approved, VA financing, and VA loans accepted, and found none. Several listings mention financing in general or note the long lease may help with financing, but that is not evidence of VA loan approval. Based on the available remarks, VA financing is not confirmed.
I looked for any remark indicating HOA walls-in coverage or that the building is fully insured, but none appeared. The listings discuss fees and utilities extensively, yet do not mention insurance coverage, so this remains unverified and is treated as false with low confidence.
No analysis available
I searched the public remarks for fire/life safety evaluation language, including FLSE, life safety compliant, fire safety certified, and passed inspection, but found nothing. Since this feature is only determined from remarks and there is no explicit evidence, it remains unconfirmed and is set to false with low 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 the building offers city-view units. Current public remarks mention city views in multiple listings, including phrases like "panoramic Waikiki views," "city views from your bedroom and patio," and "9th floor city views," which aligns with the prior MLS pattern showing CITY in 15 of 20 listings. This appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste claim.
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 looked for direct-view wording from the unit or building to fireworks, not just proximity. One remark explicitly ties the property/unit area to Friday night fireworks, which supports this feature.

The evidence is overwhelming that The Kalia has a resident manager/on-site management. Multiple current listings explicitly mention it, with at least a dozen remarks saying "resident manager," "on-site management," or "General mgr." across different agents, which makes this look like a consistent building feature rather than 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.
