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.

The listings contain general references to owner occupants, including parking waitlist eligibility and suitability for owner occupancy. No explicit percentage or statement such as majority owner occupied was found, so the current value of 40% is retained with low confidence.
The listings confirm that the building has secured or keyed elevators. No explicit number of elevators was found, so the current value of 2 is retained with low confidence; there is no evidence in the remarks to confirm or deny the count.
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.

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 independent remarks. Listings state that fees include “common area maintenance,” “other common expenses,” “use of common areas,” or “common expenses,” providing strong building-level confirmation.
No analysis available
Electricity inclusion is exceptionally consistent across the building. Numerous listings use phrases such as “electricity included,” “maintenance fee includes electricity,” or “all utilities,” and the feature appears in 20 of 20 current MLS records.
No analysis available
Hot water is strongly supported as a building-level included utility. Several listings explicitly say “hot water included” or list maintenance fees covering “electricity, hot water, sewer, water,” while the isolated WTRHTR record is outweighed by the 19-of-20 MLS pattern and repeated remarks.
Internet inclusion is confirmed by multiple independent listings. Remarks repeatedly say “internet included,” “high-speed internet,” or “all utilities and internet,” though some listings describe cable and internet as a separate combined monthly charge.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is consistently supported across the building. Multiple listings state “water, sewer” or “electricity, water, and sewer included,” with the current MLS data confirming sewer in 17 of 20 records.
Water inclusion is strongly established across many agents and listing periods. Repeated remarks say “water included,” “maintenance fee includes ... water,” or “all utilities,” consistent with WATER appearing in 18 of 20 current MLS records.
BBQ appears consistently across all 20 current listings. Remarks repeatedly mention an "open BBQ area," "BBQ area for entertaining," and "pellet and charcoal grills," providing strong multi-agent confirmation rather than a single copied checkbox.

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.

None of the provided listings mention a meeting room or similar dedicated space, despite 6/20 current MLS records checking MEEROO. Repeated descriptions of lobbies, libraries, lounges, and common areas do not establish a meeting room, so the unsupported checkbox data should not be treated as validation.
Outdoor space is strongly supported across the listings, with well over 20 remarks referencing features such as an “open lanai,” “enclosed lanai,” “covered lanai,” “spacious lanai,” rooftop “sundeck,” and a “large covered furnished patio area.” These references come from multiple listings and describe both unit-level lanais and common outdoor amenities, so the building clearly offers patio/deck spaces.
Multiple listings confirm this feature with phrases including “private walking paths through the tropical landscape” and “walking/jogging for private/safe exercise.” Although not mentioned in every listing, the explicit descriptions and current 12/20 MLS presence support a shared walking/jogging path amenity.
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.
I searched for explicit surfboard, board, surf, and combined bike/surfboard storage wording. The remarks mention nearby surfing and general storage or beach equipment, but not a designated surfboard storage facility.
No analysis available
Zero listings explicitly mention a trash chute system, while many detail laundry, pools, BBQ areas, security, paths, libraries, and sundecks. The current TRACHU checkbox appears in only 9 of 20 listings without corroborating remarks, so it is treated as an MLS-data error rather than a confirmed building feature.

All 20 listings have pool-related amenities, and numerous remarks from multiple apparent listing sources explicitly describe the Kalia's shared pool. Repeated phrases include 'saltwater pool,' 'heated saltwater pool,' 'resort-style pool,' and 'large pool,' providing strong confirmation rather than a single copied checkbox.
At least 11/20 current listings carry the heated-pool amenity, while well over 15 supplied remarks explicitly mention a 'heated pool,' 'heated saltwater pool,' or 'salt water heated pool.' The consistency across many listings and agents confirms a building-level heated swimming pool despite HEATED being absent from the separate pool_features field.
Multiple independent listings explicitly identify the community pool as saltwater or salt water. The repeated consistent evidence strongly confirms this feature.
No analysis available
At least 25 listings explicitly mention community laundry or equivalent shared facilities, with phrases such as "rooftop community laundry," "community laundry in each tower," "laundry facilities," and "on-site laundry." The evidence is widespread across many listing descriptions and agents, not merely a single copied remark, and is consistent with the COMLAU checkbox appearing on 19 of 20 current listings.
I searched for coin laundry, laundry fees, card-operated machines, quarters, and coin-op wording. Community laundry is frequently mentioned, but no payment requirement is disclosed.
The listings consistently place the laundry facilities on the rooftop or sundeck. References to laundry in each tower identify one facility per tower, not floor-by-floor laundry, so the every-floor feature is not supported.
At least 15 of 20 listings mention parking, commonly stating “parking is available via waitlist,” “parking available for owner occupants,” or that a “parking stall can be rented from the Kalia.” The repeated, detailed references across many listings and agents indicate a legitimate building amenity with limited availability, rather than simple checkbox copy-paste.
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
The remarks were searched for “deeded parking,” “owned parking,” parking included in the deed, and owned stalls. None were found, while multiple listings describe parking as rented or assigned through a waitlist.
No analysis available
Public remarks repeatedly identify a monthly charge for parking rather than deeded parking. The fee varies by parking location, with upper parking at approximately $130 per month and lower parking at approximately $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. Listings frequently state that owner-occupants or owners must join a waitlist to rent a parking stall, sometimes with owner preference.
No analysis available
The listings consistently describe electronic fob or keyed access at gates, elevators, and entrances. This is strong direct evidence of a card/fob access security system.
Security guard service is strongly and consistently supported across the listing set, with at least 18 of 20 listings carrying the MLS amenity and many remarks explicitly describing “security patrol,” “on-site security,” “security guards,” or overnight/night guard coverage. The evidence appears across multiple agents and includes detailed descriptions, not merely an isolated copied checkbox, confirming this is a building-level amenity.
Numerous listings explicitly describe security patrol service, sometimes alongside guards, cameras, or 24-hour monitoring. The repeated evidence confirms patrol coverage.

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.
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 supported by 18 of 20 current listings through the CONCRE construction-material field. Public remarks do not explicitly state 'concrete construction,' but the consistent MLS data across most listings provides strong building-level evidence rather than a single agent's copy-paste 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.

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 were searched for short-term rental, STR, NUC, TVU, vacation-rental, and hotel-rental permissions. No authorization was found, while an explicit “minimum rental term is 90 days” indicates that short-term rentals are not allowed.
The remarks were searched for hotel rental pool, hotel rental program, hotel management, Hilton pool, and similar language. The listings mention nearby hotels and resort-style amenities but do not describe participation in a hotel rental pool, and STR is not allowed.
The remarks were searched for “mandatory hotel pool,” required rental-program participation, and similar wording. No such language was found; additionally, because STR is not allowed, mandatory hotel-pool participation must be false.

The building is consistently described as leasehold, with numerous remarks identifying 2048 as the expiration year. References to the lease being extended or fixed through 2048 confirm that 2048 is the most recent stated expiry date.
The remarks were searched for explicit VA-related terms such as “VA approved,” “VA financing,” and “VA loans accepted.” No such mentions were found, so VA approval is not supported by the public remarks.
The remarks discuss maintenance fees and common expenses but do not provide qualifying evidence of HOA walls-in or full building insurance. Because no current verified value is provided and no explicit insurance statement was found, this is set to false with medium-low confidence.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit fire/life safety evaluation and inspection language, including FLSE passed, fire safety certified, and life safety compliant. Nothing qualifying was found in the public remarks, so this is set to false with medium-low confidence.
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.
At least 4 of 20 current listings mention mountain-related views, including 'breathtaking mountain and city views,' 'views from the mountains,' and views toward Diamond Head. These remarks come from multiple listings and confirm that some units offer mountain views, despite the feature not applying to every unit.
No analysis available
City views are strongly supported across the building: 14 of 20 current listings identify CITY in the view descriptions, and numerous remarks explicitly mention city or urban views. Repeated phrases such as "unobstructed city views," "panoramic Waikiki views," and "open city & peekaboo ocean views" appear across multiple listings, confirming this is not merely an isolated or unsupported checkbox.
No analysis available
At least 8 of 20 current listings explicitly mention garden, courtyard, or landscaped views, including 'peaceful courtyard setting,' 'view of the interior gardens,' and 'overlooking a peaceful garden.' The remarks are repeated across multiple independent listings and also describe the property's lush landscaped grounds, strongly supporting this building-level feature.

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
The listings establish proximity to the Hilton Hawaiian Village fireworks. They do not provide qualifying evidence of a fireworks view from the building, a unit, or a lanai.

At least 15 current remarks explicitly mention a resident or on-site manager, including "on-site resident manager," "resident manager lives on property," "on-site management," and "on-site manager." The feature is also marked RESMAN in all 20 of 20 MLS listings, with consistent confirmation across multiple agents rather than an isolated checkbox or apparent copy-paste error.
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.
