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.

The county assessor reports 37 floors, matching the currently stored value. Higher MLS and state floor figures are sparse or unreliable, and no penthouse listings establish a higher residential floor.
The county's reconciled condominium count is 356 for this single-building parcel, supporting the stored value. The state registration lists 353 total units (352 residential), so the sources conflict slightly.
Owner occupancy from AOUO registration(s) 5680. Refreshed by Real_Estate_Scraper/reb_registry/propagate_owner_occupancy.py, which this lock does not block.
The remarks mention units or parking being near an elevator and describe elevator access, but do not state a number such as "4 elevators," "four elevators," or "multiple elevators." The elevator count remains unknown.
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 TV is included in 14 of 20 current MLS listings. The explicit statement that "Cable TV & Internet [are] included in Maintenance" confirms the feature, although some checkbox entries may be copied forward.
Common-area electricity is listed in 10 of 20 current MLS records. Public remarks are mixed: one says the fee covers a portion of shared common-area electric, while others state it is separately billed to owners, reducing confidence that the full cost is included.

Hot water inclusion is not supported by the current data: 0 of 20 listings identify HOTWAT and 17 identify WTRHTR. Remarks referring to replaced or unit-level hot water heaters strongly indicate hot water is not building-supplied through the maintenance fee.
Internet service is included in 16 of 20 current MLS listings. The explicit maintenance-fee statement provides strong confirmation across the otherwise mostly checkbox-based evidence.
No analysis available
Nineteen of 20 current MLS records list sewer as included in the association fee. Public remarks do not explicitly mention sewer, but none contradict inclusion, and the consistent MLS data across many listings strongly supports that maintenance fees include sewer.
Nineteen of 20 current MLS records list water as included in the association fee. No public remarks explicitly discuss water billing or contradict inclusion, so the near-unanimous MLS data across multiple listings provides strong support that water is included.
At least 18 of 20 remarks mention BBQ facilities, including "dedicated BBQ area," "BBQ and gathering areas," "BBQ cabanas," "BBQ grills," and "outdoor kitchen." The high frequency and varied wording across listings provide strong confirmation that the building offers shared grilling facilities.
No analysis available
No analysis available
One listing directly confirms a "car wash area," while five additional current MLS records carry the car-wash amenity code. Although less frequently mentioned than the other amenities, the explicit building-level remark and supporting MLS records establish that the feature is available.

At least 18 of 20 supplied remarks mention the amenity, using phrases such as "fitness center," "fitness room," "exercise room," "fully-equipped gym," and "full gym downstairs." The repeated descriptions across multiple listing styles strongly confirm this is a shared building amenity rather than unchecked copy-paste data.
No analysis available
The listing remarks provide no direct evidence of a meeting or conference room. The limited 3/20 MLS checkbox prevalence, absent corroborating descriptions, and likely copy-paste nature of amenity selections make this feature unsupported.
At least 8 current remarks mention outdoor spaces, including “covered lanai,” “private lanai,” “spacious lanai,” “116 sq. ft. lanai,” “very large wrap around lanai,” and an “amenity deck.” These references occur across multiple distinct listings and confirm that the building offers patio/deck or lanai spaces, with some units having private or oversized versions.

Approximately 7 of 20 remarks explicitly mention the feature, including "BBQ and recreation areas," "recreation area," "rec area," "Recreation Deck," and an "amenity deck." Although less frequently described than the fitness center or BBQ facilities, the repeated explicit references and current MLS support confirm a building recreation area.
No listing clearly states 'recreation room,' 'rec room,' or 'game room.' The two MLS RECROO entries and references to a recreation deck or shared amenity spaces provide limited support, so this feature is retained with moderate confidence rather than treated as definitively documented.

Dedicated surfboard storage is directly confirmed in more than one public remark. The repeated bike-and-surfboard-storage references provide strong evidence that the building offers this facility.
No analysis available
No supplied public remark explicitly says "trash chute," "garbage chute," or "refuse chute." However, TRACHU is present in all 20 current MLS records and the historical evidence was previously high confidence, so the feature should remain included despite limited public-description confirmation.

At least 13 of 20 remarks mention the feature with phrases such as "whirlpool spa," "pool and spa," "Jacuzzi," "heated pool, whirlpool," and "soothing whirlpool." The consistent references across many listings confirm this is a shared building amenity.
Approximately 20 of 29 supplied remarks mention a pool or related pool amenity, including "swimming pool," "pool and spa," and "large heated pool." Although some descriptions appear copied or repeated, the feature is confirmed across many distinct listings and aligns with the current MLS data.
At least 6 supplied remarks explicitly describe the pool as heated, including "heated swimming pool," "large heated pool," and "heated lap-pool." The repeated explicit wording, combined with HEAPOO appearing in 5 of 20 current MLS records, provides strong evidence that the building offers a heated pool.
The building pool is well documented, but its water type is not. No saltwater-related wording was found in the public remarks.
In-unit laundry is strongly supported across the building: 20 of 20 current listings include WASHER/DRYER in MLS inclusions, and approximately 10 remarks explicitly mention in-unit or unit-specific laundry. Key phrases include "in-unit washer/dryer," "newer in-unit washer and dryer," "Stack Washer & Dryer," "newer full size laundry set," and "Washer/Dryer in-unit," with confirmations appearing across multiple listings and agents.
No analysis available
The available remarks support in-unit laundry, not paid community laundry. No payment-related laundry terms or shared laundry facilities were found.
The listings support private in-unit laundry rather than floor-by-floor community laundry. No remarks mention laundry on each floor, a laundry room on every floor, or floor-by-floor laundry.
All 20 MLS records include parking features and numerous public remarks repeatedly state unit-level parking (e.g., "2 parking spaces", "Two parking stalls", "2 covered parking stall unit"). Evidence is consistent across many agent remarks and MLS checkbox data, indicating building parking is available.
Assigned or unit-specific parking is supported by current MLS data in 17 of 20 listings. Multiple remarks independently reference assigned stalls or included unit parking, including "1 assigned parking stall," "two assigned-tandem stalls," and numerous listings describing two parking stalls, so the evidence is strong across listings rather than dependent on a single copied remark.
Covered parking is nearly universal in the current MLS data, appearing in 19 of 20 listings. At least six remarks explicitly confirm covered or enclosed parking through phrases such as "covered parking stalls," "secured garage," "protected parking garage," and "enclosed garage," providing strong multi-listing confirmation.
The remarks confirm that many units have one or more assigned or covered parking stalls. However, assigned or secured parking does not establish deeded ownership, and no explicit deeded-parking language was found.
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for parking charges and monthly parking costs. No parking-specific fee was stated, so the monthly parking fee is unknown.
At least 17 of 20 listings identify guest parking, while multiple independent remarks describe “abundant,” “ample,” or “lots of guest parking stalls.” One listing specifically states that 23 guest stalls are available, providing especially strong support that this is a shared building amenity.
Secured parking or entry is supported by current MLS data in 12 of 20 listings and by numerous independent remarks. Key phrases include “secured parking right near the elevator,” “secured garage,” “protected parking garage,” and “secured building and parking,” with additional listings noting 24-hour security and security patrol.
4 of 20 MLS records list tandem and remarks include explicit phrases like "two assigned-tandem stalls for the unit," but other listings state "side-by-side" or "non-tandem," so tandem parking exists for some units (not all), supported by multiple agent remarks.
No analysis available
The listings describe assigned stalls, multiple parking spaces, secured garages, and guest parking. None indicate that resident parking is subject to a waitlist.
No analysis available
General building security is consistently described, but no card- or fob-based access system is identified. The security references do not establish this specific feature.
Security service is strongly confirmed across the building: at least 12 listings explicitly mention 24-hour or 24 hr security, while several others reference an on-site security guard, security team, or patrol. The repeated language appears across multiple listings and agents, with some copy-pasted wording, but independent remarks and the 17/20 MLS amenity selections support that the feature is genuine.
Security patrol is directly confirmed by the explicit phrase "security on patrol." Repeated references to building security provide additional support.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is strongly supported across the building, with at least 8 current remarks explicitly mentioning central AC or Central A/C. Multiple independent listings describe newer or replaced systems, including a “new central AC system” and “Brand new AC and thermostat installed in 2022,” confirming this is a legitimate building/unit feature rather than isolated checkbox copy-paste.
3 of 20 current MLS listings list ACSPL in inclusions, suggesting some units may have split/ductless AC. However, none of the public remarks mention 'split', 'mini-split', or 'ductless', while many ads state 'central A/C' or 'central AC'; evidence is limited to a few MLS checkbox entries across different listings and appears uncertain, so further owner/manager verification is recommended.
No analysis available
Concrete construction is supported by 17 of 20 current listings through the CONCRE construction-materials field. None of the provided public remarks explicitly say “concrete construction” or “reinforced concrete,” but the strong, consistent MLS data across multiple listings supports retaining this building-level feature.
None of the provided remarks mention 'double wall,' 'double-wall construction,' or two-wall construction. The DOUWAL code appears in only 4 of 20 listings, which is too sparse and inconsistent to validate the feature.
No analysis available
5 of 20 current MLS listings include the MASSTU construction code, but zero public remarks reference 'masonry' or 'stucco'. The evidence is weak and inconsistent across listings; include the feature with low confidence because some listings indicate it in MLS checkboxes despite no supporting language in agent remarks.
Zero of the provided public remarks mention “steel frame” or “steel frame construction.” The STEFRA field appears in only 5 of 20 listings, with no supporting detail from multiple agents, so the low-confidence feature is omitted as likely unverified MLS data.
Only 2 of 20 MLS listings list a concrete slab (SLAB) and public remarks make no reference to a "concrete slab" or similar foundation. The very low occurrence and lack of textual confirmation indicate slab foundation is not reliably supported by available remarks.

No analysis available
No provided listing describes the building as above-ground or discusses above-ground construction materials. ABOGRO appears in just 1 of 20 listings, with no corroborating remarks, so the feature is not supported.

The remarks were searched for short-term-rental permission and related terms such as STR, vacation rental, NUC, and TVU. No qualifying authorization was found; the available language supports only general ownership or long-term rental use.
The listings describe residential amenities such as a pool, fitness center, security, and resident manager, but provide no evidence of a hotel-operated rental pool. Because STR permission is not established, hotel-pool participation is false.
The remarks contain no indication that owners must participate in a rental program or hotel pool. Since short-term rental permission is not established, mandatory hotel-pool participation is false.

No analysis available
The remarks were searched for leasehold terminology, ground-lease language, expiration or expiry dates, and lease-renewal statements. No specific four-digit lease-expiry year was found, so the value remains unknown.
Several public remarks directly confirm VA financing availability for qualified buyers at Keola Lai. The repeated explicit references provide very strong evidence that the building is VA loan approved.
Full HOA building insurance is directly confirmed in a public remark stating that the building is "fully insured." This is strong, explicit evidence supporting fully insured status.
At least 2 listings explicitly mention the feature, including "fire sprinklers" and "a newer property with sprinklers." This aligns with the previously high-confidence assessment and the current MLS amenity checkbox appearing on 14 of 20 listings, indicating strong building-wide evidence rather than an isolated agent claim.
The remarks were searched for references to FLSE, fire/life safety evaluation passage, fire safety certification, life-safety compliance, or passed fire inspection. None were found; mentions of fire sprinklers alone do not establish that the evaluation passed.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.
No analysis available
Ocean views are strongly supported across at least 13 of 20 listings and multiple agents. Remarks describe expansive, sweeping, breathtaking, and panoramic ocean views, indicating this is a legitimate building feature rather than a single listing anomaly.
Mountain views are documented in 12 of 20 current listings and are reinforced by numerous detailed remarks from multiple agents. Key phrases include "beautiful ocean, city and mountain views," "expansive ocean, harbor, mountain and skyline views," and "panoramic Mauka to Makai views," indicating a genuine building feature rather than unsupported checkbox copying.
No analysis available
City views are the most consistently documented feature, appearing in 18 of 20 current listings across multiple agents. Remarks repeatedly reference "city views," "city and mountain views," "skyline views," and "breathtaking panoramic views of the city," providing strong confirmation that the building offers city-view units.
Coastline views are less frequently selected in MLS, appearing in 3 of 20 listings, but the building's ocean and harbor-facing remarks provide corroborating coastal evidence. Listings mention "ocean, harbor" and panoramic ocean/harbor views, supporting inclusion for buyers seeking coastline-oriented views.

Sunset views are less common but are explicitly documented in 4 of 20 listings. Multiple remarks describe stunning sunsets or sunset moments, confirming that at least some units in the building offer this feature.
No listings (CURRENT MLS: 0/20) or public remarks mention cemetery or overlooks cemetery; phrases like "cemetery view" do not appear. Given the complete lack of references across multiple listings, there is high confidence the building does not offer cemetery views.
The listings describe numerous unit views but do not specifically identify Friday night fireworks. Nearby beaches, parks, or Honolulu locations do not establish a fireworks view from the building.
No analysis available
At least 2 listings explicitly describe on-site management, using the phrases "dedicated on-site manager" and "resident manager." The evidence is reinforced by RESMAN appearing on 19 of 20 current listings, making this a strong and consistent building amenity.

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.
