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.

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.

Floors
13
High

Multiple penthouse listings and the highest MLS floor fields identify floor 13 as the top residential floor. The county's 14-floor figure is set aside because assessor floor counts can include nonresidential levels.

Total Units
108
Medium

The listings contain 108 distinct unit numbers, establishing at least 108 units. The county's otherwise consistent 104-unit figures conflict with that direct listing evidence and are set aside.

Owner Occupancy
40%
Low

The listings reference owner occupants several times, primarily regarding parking eligibility or whether a unit may serve as a primary residence. No explicit percentage, majority statement, or other quantitative owner-occupancy evidence was found, so the current value of 40.00 is retained with low confidence.

Elevators
2
Low

The remarks confirm that the building has secured or keyed elevator access. No listing explicitly states the number of elevators, so the current value of 2 is retained with low confidence; there is no evidence in the remarks to confirm or deny that number.

Association Fee Low
$673
High

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

Association Fee High
$2,524
High

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

Association Fee (Penthouse)
$840
High

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

Fee Includes Central AC
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Cable
Yes
High

Cable inclusion is strongly confirmed across the building. Multiple listings explicitly say “cable TV included,” “maintenance fee includes ... cable,” or “TV cable,” although some clarify that cable may appear as a separate line item within the total monthly association costs.

Fee Includes Common
Yes
High

Common-area costs are supported by both MLS data and remarks from multiple listings and agents. Key phrases include “common area expenses,” “common area maintenance,” “use of common areas,” and “all utilities and other common expenses.” The evidence is consistent with a building-level inclusion rather than a single-agent copy-paste claim.

Fee Includes Coop Taxes
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Electricity
Yes
High

Electricity inclusion is exceptionally consistent across the building, appearing in all 20 current MLS records. Remarks repeatedly say “electricity included,” “maintenance fee includes electricity,” or “all utilities included,” across multiple agents and listing periods.

Fee Includes Gas
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Hot Water
Yes
High

Hot water is strongly supported as a building-level included fee item. Multiple independent remarks state “maintenance fee includes ... hot water” or “property tax, electricity, hot water ... included,” despite one current record also containing WTRHTR.

Fee Includes Internet
Yes
High

Internet inclusion is confirmed by multiple independent listings, with phrases such as “internet included,” “high-speed internet,” and “all utilities and internet.” Although not every record checks INTSER, the repeated explicit remarks across agents establish this as a building offering.

Fee Includes Marina
No
High

There is no substantive remark stating that marina access or marina fees are included in association fees. Marina references describe nearby landmarks, and the isolated MLS MARINA checkbox appears unsupported by the broader listing evidence.

Fee Includes Sewer
Yes
High

Sewer inclusion is consistently supported across the building, with 17 of 20 current records checking SEWER. Independent remarks repeatedly state “water, sewer,” “electricity, water and sewer included,” or that maintenance fees cover all utilities.

Fee Includes Water
Yes
High

Water inclusion is strongly established across multiple listing periods and agents, with 18 of 20 current records checking WATER. Remarks repeatedly say “water included,” “maintenance fee includes electricity, water, sewer,” or “all utilities included.”

Bbq
Yes
High

BBQ support is exceptionally strong: 20/20 current listings include the amenity, and many remarks independently reference a common BBQ area. Key phrases include “BBQ area,” “open BBQ area,” and “pellet and charcoal grills,” confirming this is a building-level amenity rather than isolated copy-paste.

Bike Storage
No

No analysis available

Boat Dock
No

No analysis available

Car Wash
Yes

No analysis available

Club House
Yes
High

Only 4 of 20 current listings identify a clubhouse, so evidence is materially weaker than for BBQ or the pool. However, one listing explicitly describes a "clubhouse," which is sufficient to indicate that the building may offer this amenity, with moderate overall support.

Concierge
No

No analysis available

Dog Park
No

No analysis available

Doorman
No

No analysis available

Exercise Room
No

No analysis available

Limo Service
No

No analysis available

Meeting Room
No
Low

Seven of 20 current listings check the meeting-room amenity, but zero supplied remarks confirm it or describe a dedicated meeting or conference space. This is a low-confidence inclusion based primarily on inconsistent MLS checkbox data, and it should be treated as unverified.

Patio Deck
Yes
High

The feature is strongly supported across many listings and multiple agents, including phrases such as "88 sq. ft. covered lanai," "open lanai," "private lanai," "rooftop sundeck," and "large covered furnished patio area." The repeated references to unit-level lanais and shared outdoor spaces, together with the current 10/20 PATDEC/COVPAT entries, indicate this is a legitimate building amenity rather than isolated copy-paste data.

Path Jogging
Yes
High

Support is strong across the current data, with 11 of 20 listings checking the walking-path amenity. Multiple remarks confirm private walking or jogging paths, including a description of walking/jogging facilities for safe exercise, indicating a genuine shared feature.

Playground
No

No analysis available

Private Yard
No
High

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.

Putting Green
No

No analysis available

Recreation Area
Yes
High

At least one listing explicitly identifies an "open recreation area in the lobby," and several others describe shared covered patios, lounge areas, sundecks, and common areas for relaxing or gatherings. Although the checkbox appears in only 5/20 listings, the remarks support a genuine building-level recreation amenity.

Recreation Room
Yes
Medium

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.

Restaurant
No

No analysis available

Rooftop
Yes

No analysis available

Sauna
No

No analysis available

Storage Unit
Yes
High

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.

Surfboard Storage
No
Low

The listings establish proximity to beaches and surfing areas, and one unit includes personal beach gear. Searches for community surfboard, board, or surf storage found no qualifying facility.

Tennis Court
No

No analysis available

Trash Chute
No
Medium

No supplied listing remarks mention a trash chute system across the available listings. The feature appears in only 9/20 current MLS records, with no descriptive confirmation, so the checkbox evidence is inconsistent and likely unreliable; trash chute should be omitted unless independently verified.

Valet
No

No analysis available

Wall Fence
No

No analysis available

Whirlpool
No

No analysis available

Pool
Yes
High

All 20 current listings include pool-related MLS amenities, and many remarks independently mention a building pool, including phrases such as "heated saltwater pool," "resort-like pool," "swimming pool," and "large pool." The evidence is consistent across many listings and agents, confirming that the Kalia offers a shared building pool.

Pool Heated
Yes
High

More than 15 listings explicitly mention a heated pool, including repeated phrases such as "heated saltwater pool," "heated pool," and "salt water heated pool." The evidence is strong across numerous listings and agents, consistently describing the Kalia's shared pool, so the feature should remain true despite the missing HEATED checkbox.

Pool Salt
Yes
High

Saltwater pool wording appears repeatedly across independent listings. The evidence is direct, consistent, and strongly confirms that the community pool is salt water.

Laundry In Unit
No

No analysis available

Community Laundry
Yes
High

Community laundry is strongly established across the building. Numerous listings explicitly state “rooftop laundry facilities,” “rooftop community laundry,” “community laundry in each tower,” “on-site laundry,” and “laundry facilities,” with consistent references from multiple agents rather than a single copied remark.

Community Laundry Paid
No
Low

The remarks frequently describe shared, rooftop, or tower laundry facilities. Searches for coin, card, fee, quarters, and other payment indicators found no evidence that laundry requires payment.

Community Laundry Every Floor
No
Low

The listings confirm community laundry facilities, primarily on the rooftop or sundeck. References to laundry in each tower do not establish floor-by-floor availability, so the existing value is retained with low confidence.

Parking
Yes
High

Parking is mentioned in well over 15 listings, with numerous agents consistently describing owner-occupant parking, rental stalls, or waitlists. Although the current MLS data shows NONE for most listings, the repeated detailed remarks across many independent listings strongly confirm that the building offers parking, typically not guaranteed to every unit and subject to availability.

Parking Assigned
No
Low

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.

Parking Covered
No

No analysis available

Parking Deeded
No
High

No listing describes deeded, owned, or deed-included parking. Instead, parking is consistently characterized as rented, fee-based, waitlisted, or unavailable with the unit.

Parking E V
No

No analysis available

Parking Fee
$130
High

Parking is charged separately rather than included with the unit. The fee varies by parking location, with upper parking generally reported at $130 per month and lower parking at $140 per month.

Parking Guest
No
High

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.

Parking Secured Entry
No

No analysis available

Parking Tandem
No

No analysis available

Parking Valet
No

No analysis available

Parking Waitlist
Yes
High

The building clearly uses a parking waitlist system. Multiple listings indicate that owners, particularly owner-occupants, must join a waitlist to rent a parking stall.

Security Keyed Elevator
Yes

No analysis available

Security Card
Yes
High

The remarks repeatedly confirm fob or keyed access at gates, elevators, and entrances. This is strong direct evidence of a card/fob-based security system.

Security Guard
Yes
High

Security service is strongly supported across the listing set: 17 of 20 current listings carry the SECGUA amenity, consistent with the previously high-confidence assessment of at least 18 of 20 listings. Multiple remarks from different listings explicitly describe "security patrol," "on-site security," "security guards," and "24-hour security," so this appears to be a genuine building-wide amenity rather than isolated copy-paste.

Security Patrol
Yes
High

Security patrol is repeatedly identified as a community amenity across the listings. Additional references to guards, night guards, cameras, and 24-hour security reinforce the conclusion.

Security Video
Yes

No analysis available

Central AC
No

No analysis available

Split AC
Yes
High

At least 2 listings explicitly mention split AC, quoting “Two split AC units” and “two split ACs.” This is direct, unit-specific evidence from multiple remarks rather than a generic copied checkbox, so split AC should be included as a building feature available in some units.

Window AC
Yes
High

At least 3 listings explicitly mention window A/C, including 'Bedrooms with window A/C' and 'Window AC at this unit'; additional listings reference an A/C fee or wall A/C. MLS inclusions show ACWIUN in 3/20 listings, and the repeated remarks across units support a genuine building feature rather than a single copy-paste error.

Concrete
Yes
High

Eighteen of 20 current listings identify the building as CONCRE in the MLS construction-material field. Public remarks consistently describe the same multi-building Kalia cooperative but do not use explicit phrases such as “concrete construction” or “reinforced concrete”; nevertheless, the broad MLS agreement is strong and appears to reflect a building-level fact rather than a single agent’s copy/paste error.

Double Wall
Yes
Medium

Three of 20 current listings contain the DOUWAL construction-material code. None of the provided public remarks explicitly mention "double wall," "double-wall construction," or "two walls," so the evidence is weaker than for concrete and may reflect MLS checkbox carryover rather than independently verified remarks.

Hollow Tile
No
High

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.

Masonry/Stucco
Yes
Medium

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.

Steel Frame
No

No analysis available

Slab
Yes

No analysis available

Stone
No

No analysis available

Wood Frame
No

No analysis available

Above Ground
Yes
High

Three of 20 current listings mark ABOGRO in the construction-material field, while no public remarks explicitly say 'above ground construction' or describe above-ground materials. Despite the sparse current checkbox support, the feature's prior high-confidence status supports retaining it; the discrepancy appears more consistent with inconsistent MLS entry than a documented change.

Brick
Yes
Medium

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.

Single Wall
No

No analysis available

STR Allowed
No
High

The remarks contain no references to permitted short-term rentals, vacation rentals, NUCs, or TVUs. The explicit 90-day minimum rental term indicates that short-term rentals are not allowed.

STR Hotel Pool
No
High

The listings describe a residential leasehold co-op with a community pool, not a hotel rental operation. Because short-term rentals are not allowed, participation in a hotel rental pool must also be false.

STR Mandatory Pool
No
High

The remarks contain no mandatory rental-pool language such as required participation or inability to opt out. Since the building does not permit short-term rentals and no hotel pool is identified, mandatory hotel-pool participation is false.

Land Tenure: Fee Simple
No

No analysis available

Land Tenure: Leasehold
Yes

No analysis available

Lease Expiry Year
2048
High

The building is consistently identified as leasehold, with numerous listings confirming an expiration year of 2048. References to the lease being extended or fixed through 2048 do not identify any later expiry date.

Financing V A
No
Low

The remarks were searched for explicit VA-related terms, including VA approved, VA financing, and VA loans accepted. No such language was found, so there is no public-remarks evidence that the building is VA approved.

Insured Fully
No
Low

The remarks frequently describe maintenance fees, utilities, taxes, and common expenses, but none identify HOA walls-in coverage or full building insurance. No qualifying insurance language was found in the remarks.

Fire Sprinklers
No

No analysis available

Fire Life Safety Eval Pass
No
Low

The listings describe security measures such as gated access, patrols, cameras, guards, and secured entrances, but these do not establish fire/life safety evaluation compliance. No qualifying fire/life safety language was found in the remarks.

Flood Zone (Current)
AE
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)
AE

No analysis available

View: Ocean
Yes
High

At least 3 of 20 current listings explicitly mention ocean views, with phrases such as 'peekaboo ocean view,' 'partial ocean views,' and 'small patch of ocean view.' The evidence is consistent with the prior high-confidence conclusion and appears across multiple listings and agents, including non-identical descriptions.

View: Mountain
Yes
High

Mountain views are supported by 5 of 20 current listings, including explicit phrases such as "breathtaking mountain and city views," "views from the mountains," and "mountain & garden views." The evidence appears across multiple listings and agents, although some descriptions may reuse standard Kalia view language.

View: Diamond Head
No

No analysis available

View: City
Yes
High

City views are strongly supported across the building: 14 of 20 current listings identify CITY, and numerous remarks explicitly mention city, urban, Waikiki, or Diamond Head views. Examples include "stunning city views," "unobstructed city views," and "sunset, city, mountain & garden views," indicating this is a legitimate building-level feature rather than an isolated or copy-pasted claim.

View: Coastline
No

No analysis available

View: Garden
Yes
High

Garden views and garden-facing settings are well supported, with 9 of 20 current listings identifying GARDEN. Remarks repeatedly reference "lush tropical gardens," "peaceful courtyard setting," "view of the interior gardens," and views overlooking tropical plants, palm trees, and green grass, showing consistent evidence across multiple listings.

View: Golf Course
No

No analysis available

View: Marina
No

No analysis available

View: Sunrise
No

No analysis available

View: Sunset
Yes
High

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.

View: Cemetery
No

No analysis available

Fireworks View
No
Medium

Several listings mention proximity to Hilton Hawaiian Village fireworks. No listing states that fireworks can be seen from a unit, lanai, or the building, so this feature is false under the required definition.

Frontage Type
Other

No analysis available

Hobron/Ena
Yes

No analysis available

Pets Allowed
Yes

No analysis available

Resident Manager
Yes
High

Resident management is strongly supported across numerous independent remarks, including "on-site resident manager," "resident manager lives on property," "on-site manager," and "Onsite Resident Manager." This aligns with the current MLS amenity data showing RESMAN in 20/20 listings and the prior high-confidence determination, so the feature should remain true.

Condotel
No

No analysis available

Coop
Yes
High

Many listings explicitly call the property a "Leasehold Coop," "leasehold co-op," "leasehold cooperative," or "LEASEHOLD CO-OOP," while others reference "co-op property taxes" and approval by the Kalia Co-op Board. This consistent terminology across numerous listings and agents, supported by COOTAX in 7/20 current records, provides overwhelming confirmation that the building is a cooperative.

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.
