Kapiolani Residence
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.

I searched for an owner-occupancy percentage or descriptive language such as 'majority owner occupied' or 'highly owner occupied' and found none. Without an explicit percentage or clear statement about the resident mix, the owner-occupancy level cannot be determined from these remarks.
I searched the public remarks for an explicit elevator count or wording like 'multiple elevators' and found nothing. Even though this is a 45-story high-rise, the remarks do not state the number of elevators, so the value remains unknown.

Strong building-level evidence supports cable being included in the maintenance fee. Multiple listings say things like "maintenance fees cover internet, cable, water, and sewer" and "including internet and cable TV," which is consistent across different agents and reads like repeat MLS copy rather than a one-off mention.
Evidence does not support common-area electricity being included: although 9/20 MLS entries list OTCOEX historically, agent remarks do not describe 'common electric' being paid by the HOA and at least one remark states electricity is sub-metered and billed separately. This indicates common electric is not generally included.

Hot water is not supported by the current building data. The absence of HOTWAT across all current listings, combined with frequent WTRHTR inclusion, is strong evidence that units have their own water heaters and maintenance fees do not include hot water.
Internet inclusion is strongly supported across the listing set. Remarks repeatedly say "maintenance fees cover internet" or "low HOA fees that include internet," suggesting a consistent building-level amenity rather than agent error.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion has very strong support from both MLS checkboxes and public remarks. Several listings explicitly pair sewer with water, cable, and internet in the fee inclusions, which is consistent across agents and highly reliable.
Water inclusion is clearly supported by the current data. Many listings state that fees include "water" alongside sewer and other services, making this a high-confidence building feature.
BBQ/grilling amenities are strongly supported across the building. Multiple listings mention “private BBQ cabanas,” “BBQ area,” “BBQ areas,” and an “amenity deck offers space to gather and grill,” which appears consistent across different agents rather than a one-off copy/paste. Historical MLS data also shows BBQ in 19/20 listings, reinforcing that this is a building amenity.

No substantive evidence of a concierge service: across the many public remarks reviewed there are zero explicit mentions of 'concierge' or 'concierge service' (remarks instead reference on-site management or a resident manager). Although 4 of 20 MLS records currently have the CONCIE checkbox checked, the lack of any explicit phrasing in public remarks and historical absence indicate the concierge service is not supported by available listing text.

Moderate-to-strong evidence the building has a meeting/conference room: 5/20 current MLS listings include MEEROO and multiple remarks state "meeting room" or reference a party/rec room suitable for gatherings. Mentions are explicit in agent remarks across listings, so the feature is included.
The building clearly offers patio/deck-style amenities. At least 8+ listings mention shared outdoor space using phrases like 'amenity deck,' 'recreation deck,' 'outdoor pavilions,' 'party room,' and 'private BBQ cabanas,' and many units also mention a lanai. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and appears to be building-level, not a one-off unit feature.

There is strong evidence of a shared recreation area in the building. Listings refer to an “amenity deck,” “recreation deck,” and “the recreational deck on top of the parking structure,” suggesting a common resident amenity rather than a unit-specific feature. The MLS history also supports this with RECARE in 6/20 listings.
The building offers a shared recreation room/rec room. Current remarks explicitly say “party room,” “recreation room to host your next small gathering,” and “recreation room,” which appears in multiple listings from different agents. This aligns with the MLS history showing RECROO in 7/20 listings.

I searched for "surfboard storage," "board storage," "surf storage," and similar variants. The remarks mention secure bicycle storage and other amenities, but nothing about surfboard storage.
No analysis available
Trash chute is well supported by both MLS history and current remarks. One listing explicitly says “Amenities include guest parking, BBQ, party room & trash chute,” and the historical record shows TRACHU in 18/20 listings. The breadth of support suggests this is a real building amenity, not just copied checkbox data.

I searched for any mention of a pool and specifically saltwater/saline pool wording, but found none. With the current building context indicating no pool, there is no evidence supporting a saltwater pool.
Strong, consistent evidence across many listings confirms in-unit laundry at Kapiolani Residence. Multiple remarks explicitly mention "in-unit laundry," "washer and dryer," "full size washer & dryer," and "stackable front-load washer and dryer," indicating this is not a one-off copy-paste error. The current remarks reinforce the prior high-confidence MLS data showing washer/dryer inclusions in nearly all listings.
No analysis available
I looked for clues such as "coin laundry," "coin-op," "quarters," "card operated," and laundry fees. The remarks reference in-unit laundry only, so there is no public-remarks evidence that community laundry exists or requires payment.
I searched for phrases like "laundry on each floor," "laundry room on every floor," and similar floor-by-floor laundry wording. The remarks only mention in-unit laundry/washer-dryer, not community laundry on each floor.
No analysis available
Assigned parking is well supported across multiple listings and appears consistently advertised for the building. Several remarks explicitly say "one assigned parking stall" or similar, indicating this is not just MLS checkbox copy-paste but a real building feature available to units.
Covered parking is strongly and consistently supported by both MLS data and listing remarks. Multiple listings explicitly mention covered or secured covered stalls, making this a high-confidence building feature.
I searched for explicit deeded-parking language such as "deeded parking," "owned parking," or "parking stall included in deed" and found none. The remarks only indicate assigned, covered, or included stalls, which does not confirm deeded ownership.
No analysis available
I looked for a parking rent, monthly parking charge, or additional parking cost and found no explicit fee information. The listings describe included or assigned stalls, but do not state any separate parking fee.
Guest parking is well supported by numerous listings and repeated across multiple agents. The remarks are specific and consistent, including references to "24 guest parking spaces" and "ample guest parking," which strongly validates the feature.
There is solid evidence that parking has secured access. Remarks mention 'secured entrance,' 'secure parking,' and '1 covered secured parking stall,' which is consistent with the smaller but matching MLS SECENT subset. While mentioned less often than covered or guest parking, the wording is explicit enough to support the feature.

No analysis available
I searched for phrases like "parking waitlist," "parking waiting list," or instructions to join a parking queue and found none. The remarks instead describe available stalls and guest parking, with no sign of a waitlist system.
No analysis available
I looked for explicit card/fob access language such as "key card access," "fob access," "card reader," and "keycard entry." The remarks describe the building as secure, but they do not confirm a card-based security system.
Strong building-level evidence supports security guard service. Across the provided remarks, at least 6 listings explicitly mention security staffing or 24-hour security, including phrases such as "professional security staff," "security team make this condo feel like home," and "24-hour security." This appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste, and it aligns with the historical MLS SECGUA checkbox being present in 15 of 20 listings.
I searched for wording like "security patrol," "roving security," and "patrolled building." The public remarks confirm security presence, but they do not explicitly say there is a patrol service.
No analysis available
Evidence does not support central air for the building: 0 of 20 listings have the central AC checkbox in unit features (only 1/20 had an inclusion flag), and none of the public remarks mention 'central AC' or 'central air.' Instead, many listings explicitly state 'split AC' or 'split system air conditioning' (e.g., 'Enjoy the comfort of split AC', 'split AC units in each space'), suggesting individual unit systems rather than a building-wide central system.
Strong building-level evidence supports split AC availability at Kapiolani Residence. At least 8+ listings explicitly mention phrases like "zoned split ACs," "split AC units in each space," "split system air conditioning," and "2 split AC systems," which is consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off remark. The current MLS data also shows ACSPL in 18/20 listings, reinforcing that this is a standard feature available in the building.
No analysis available
Concrete construction is very strongly supported. One listing explicitly calls the building a "glass, and concrete high-rise," and the current MLS data shows 18 of 20 listings marked CONCRE. The evidence is consistent across multiple remarks and appears to reflect the building itself rather than copy-paste noise.
Double-wall construction is not verified by the remarks. Five of 20 listings have the checkbox marked, but no agent description mentions double wall construction or any equivalent phrasing. The evidence looks like inconsistent MLS checkbox data rather than a confirmed feature.

Wood-frame construction is not supported by the public remarks. Although 2 of 20 current MLS listings have WOOFRA checked, there are zero remarks references to wood frame or wood-frame construction. This looks more like inconsistent MLS input than a confirmed building characteristic.
No analysis available
Only 2 of 20 MLS listings currently list BRICK and there are no public-remarks mentions such as 'brick exterior' or 'brick construction' across the listings. Given the absence of supporting remarks and low prevalence in MLS checkboxes, the evidence indicates the building is not brick-built (the few BRICK checks appear to be isolated/checkbox errors).
No analysis available
I searched for short-term rental indicators like STR permitted, vacation rental allowed, NUC, or TVU and found none. Several remarks instead point to restricted occupancy and resale rules, which strongly suggests short-term rentals are not allowed.
I looked for hotel rental pool or branded rental management language such as Hilton pool, Ritz pool, or hotel program participation and found nothing. Since the building does not appear to allow STRs from the public remarks, hotel-pool participation is also false.
I searched for wording like "mandatory rental program," "must participate," or "cannot opt out" and found none. The remarks do not describe any hotel-rental requirement, and the building does not appear to support STR use in the first place.

I looked for leasehold wording such as "lease expires [year]," "ground lease ends," or "renewed through [year]," and found nothing. With no explicit lease-expiry year in the public remarks, the expiry date remains unknown.
I searched the public remarks for explicit VA-loan approval language such as "VA approved" or "VA financing accepted" and found none. Because this can only be confirmed from public remarks, there is no evidence to support VA approval here.
The public remarks explicitly state that the building is fully insured starting Dec 6, 2024. This is direct evidence for walls-in/full building insurance coverage.
Evidence strongly supports fire sprinkler coverage in this building. Historical MLS data shows 11 of 20 listings with FIRSPR in amenities, and one current remark explicitly says "bonus in unit fire sprinkler." The consistency of the MLS history plus the direct mention makes this a high-confidence feature rather than a copy-paste error.
I looked for phrases indicating a passed fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE, fire safety certification, or a passed fire inspection and found no such language. The remarks do mention a fire sprinkler in one unit, but that is not evidence of a passed building-level safety evaluation.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Ocean views are well supported across multiple current listings and appear in varied agent remarks, not just a single copy-paste phrase. At least 6+ listings explicitly mention ocean or beach views, including 'breathtaking ocean and beach views,' 'ocean views,' and 'spectacular ocean and mountain views.'
Mountain views are strongly and consistently confirmed across the listings, with well over half explicitly mentioning them. The remarks use multiple variants like 'mountain views,' 'sweeping city and mountain views,' and 'panoramic mountain & city views,' indicating this is a common building feature rather than a one-off claim.
Diamond Head views are explicitly confirmed in at least one high-detail listing remark and reinforced by MLS view data. While less common than ocean or mountain views, the evidence is direct and specific enough to include this feature for buyers searching for Diamond Head views.
City views are consistently described across many current listings, with multiple agents using phrases like 'Honolulu skyline,' 'sweeping city views,' and 'beautiful ocean, city, sunset views.' The repeated mentions across numerous remarks make this a strong building-level feature available in some units.

Across all provided listings, agents repeatedly market ocean, mountain, city, sunset, and fireworks views but never mention sunrise, morning sun, or eastern exposure. Together with 0/20 MLS records flagging SUNRIS, this suggests with high confidence that sunrise views are not a meaningful or advertised feature of this building.
Multiple listings (at least 6) explicitly reference sunset or evening views, with phrases like "glowing sunsets," "sunset views," and "sunset views and fireworks visible over Waikiki on Friday nights." These repeated, explicit remarks across different unit listings corroborate prior MLS data and show the building offers sunset-view units.
No analysis available
Multiple listings directly state that fireworks are visible from units on Friday nights. This is strong, repeated evidence that the building offers fireworks views from residences.

The RESMAN amenity is present on 15 of 20 current listings and is repeatedly corroborated in public remarks: agents describe "friendly on-site management," "professional security," and explicitly "resident manager on property." Multiple listings across agents consistently reference on-site management, supporting inclusion of this feature.
