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.
Building Features & Data Confidence

No analysis available
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
No analysis available
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.
No analysis available
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
No analysis available
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.

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.
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.
Saltwater pool wording appears repeatedly across independent listings. The evidence is direct, consistent, and strongly confirms that the community pool is salt water.
No analysis available
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.
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.
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 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.
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
No listing describes deeded, owned, or deed-included parking. Instead, parking is consistently characterized as rented, fee-based, waitlisted, or unavailable with the unit.
No analysis available
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.
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 building clearly uses a parking waitlist system. Multiple listings indicate that owners, particularly owner-occupants, must join a waitlist to rent a parking stall.
No analysis available
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 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 is repeatedly identified as a community amenity across the listings. Additional references to guards, night guards, cameras, and 24-hour security reinforce the conclusion.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
No analysis available
No analysis available
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.
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.
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.
No analysis available
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 determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

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.
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.
No analysis available
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.
No analysis available
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.

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
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.

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.
No analysis available
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.
