Koula

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.

Building Features & Data Confidence

All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.

Owner Occupancy
Low

I searched the remarks for owner-occupancy percentages or descriptive phrases like "majority owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied," but found none. Since there is no explicit disclosure, the owner-occupancy rate remains unknown from these remarks.

Elevators
6
High

The remarks directly confirm the building has six elevators, with additional service elevators also mentioned. This matches the current value and is strong, explicit evidence from multiple listing remarks.

Association Fee Low
$439
High

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

Association Fee High
$2,053
High

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

Association Fee (Penthouse)
$1,087
High

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

Fee Includes Central AC
Yes
High

There is clear direct support for central AC in the public remarks, including repeated phrases like 'central AC' and 'central air-conditioning.' While only 4 of 20 current MLS records check ACCEN, the remarks confirm this is an actual building feature rather than a copy-paste artifact.

Fee Includes Cable
Yes
High

Cable TV appears to be included at the building level, with CABTV checked in 19 of 20 current listings. Public remarks across many agents focus on unit features and amenities and do not dispute the fee inclusion, which supports the MLS pattern.

Fee Includes Common
Yes
Medium

The MLS evidence is moderate, with 11 of 20 listings checking OTCOEX. Public remarks repeatedly describe extensive shared amenities such as pools, lounges, cabanas, fitness centers, and guest suites, which is consistent with common-area electric being included, though not explicitly stated.

Fee Includes Coop Taxes
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Electricity
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Gas
No
High

There is no remark-level support for gas inclusion, and the current MLS support is sparse at 2 of 20 listings. This looks more like occasional checkbox noise than a building-level fee inclusion, so gas should not be treated as included.

Fee Includes Hot Water
No
High

The strongest evidence here is the widespread WTRHTR marker: 18 of 20 current listings list water heaters, which conflicts with building-provided hot water being included in fees. Public remarks do not provide any contrary evidence, so hot water should be treated as not included.

Fee Includes Internet
Yes
High

Internet service appears to be a consistent building-level inclusion, with 19 of 20 current MLS listings checking INTSER. The remarks do not contradict this, so this is a very strong true feature.

Fee Includes Marina
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Sewer
Yes
High

Sewer inclusion is strongly supported by the MLS, where 18 of 20 current listings check SEWER. The remarks are silent on the item, but there is no meaningful conflict, so sewer should remain included.

Fee Includes Water
Yes
High

Water inclusion is one of the strongest building-level inclusions in the current MLS data, with 19 of 20 listings checking WATER. The remarks do not introduce any contrary evidence, so this should remain true with very high confidence.

Bbq
Yes
High

BBQ facilities are clearly present at the building level. The remarks consistently mention “BBQ pavilions,” “BBQ cabanas,” “grilling pavilions,” and similar wording across many listings, which strongly corroborates the MLS data.

Bike Storage
No

No analysis available

Boat Dock
No

No analysis available

Car Wash
No
High

MLS shows only 1/20 entries with car wash and the public remarks corpus contains no references to an on-site car wash; given the near-uniform absence in remarks and minimal MLS presence, it's very likely car-wash is not an amenity at Koula.

Club House
Yes
High

Evidence is moderate but sufficient that the building offers a clubhouse-style shared space. At least one remark explicitly references a 'Club House,' alongside broader mentions of grand dining/common rooms that fit the amenity concept.

Concierge
Yes
High

Concierge service is explicitly mentioned in several current remarks, including direct references to 'concierge' and '24/7 security and concierge service.' Even though the MLS checkbox is only present in 5/20 listings, the public remarks provide clear confirmation from multiple sources. This looks like a real building amenity rather than a copy-paste anomaly.

Dog Park
Yes
High

The building appears to offer a dog park/pet area. Remarks across many listings directly say “dog park,” and some reference “pet-friendly spaces” or dedicated outdoor pet areas, making this a reliable shared amenity.

Doorman
Yes
High

Multiple listings (from different agents) mention concierge or resident manager and phrases such as "24/7 security and concierge service", "concierge service", "on-site resident manager", and "concierge", appearing in at least ~6 listings. While MLS checkbox count for DOORMA is low, the repeated concierge/resident-manager language across listings indicates a staffed concierge/lobby service is available, so include doorman/concierge with high confidence.

Exercise Room
Yes
High

Strong building-level evidence supports an exercise room/fitness center. Across the remarks, the amenity is mentioned in many forms—“fitness center,” “indoor/outdoor fitness centers,” “fitness gym,” and “outdoor workout area”—across numerous listings and agents, suggesting consistent shared amenities rather than copy-paste noise.

Limo Service
No

No analysis available

Meeting Room
Yes
High

There is solid evidence for meeting-room-type space in the building. Multiple listings explicitly say “meeting rooms,” “private meetings or get together,” “common room/spaces,” and “event rooms,” which indicates a real shared amenity rather than an agent checkbox artifact.

Patio Deck
Yes
High

Strong, consistent evidence across the remarks shows Ko'ula/Koula offers patio/deck-style outdoor space. Well over 20 listings mention features like "lanai," "private lanai," "usable lanai," "two lanais," and "balconies," indicating this is a common building offering rather than an isolated unit feature. Multiple agents describe the outdoor space in similar terms, which reinforces that this is genuine and not just copy-paste checkbox noise.

Path Jogging
Yes
Medium

Evidence is weaker than for other amenities, but the building and Ward Village context suggest walk/jog-friendly paths nearby. A few remarks mention 'walking paths,' 'bike lanes,' and pedestrian connections, so this is likely implied rather than explicitly and consistently stated.

Playground
No

No analysis available

Private Yard
No

No analysis available

Putting Green
Yes
High

The building is directly described as having a golf putting feature in multiple remarks, including one detailed amenity list with 'putting for golf.' Although MLS checkbox coverage was sparse, the explicit text is strong enough to confirm it.

Recreation Area
Yes
High

The building has a shared recreation/amenity area. Listings repeatedly refer to the “recreation deck,” “amenity deck,” “Grand Lanai,” lounges, and other gathering spaces, showing strong multi-listing corroboration that this is a true building feature.

Recreation Room
Yes
High

Strong evidence supports a recreation room / similar social room amenity. Multiple listings describe 'party rooms,' 'event rooms,' 'Grand Room,' and 'recreation lounge,' indicating a shared indoor gathering space even when wording varies by agent.

Restaurant
Yes
High

Good evidence: several listings mention on-site dining—explicitly a 'Dean & DeLuca café in the lobby', 'dining bar/sunset lounge', and private dining/chef's kitchens—indicating the building offers at least limited in-building dining/restaurant services.

Rooftop
No

No analysis available

Sauna
Yes
High

Sauna is strongly corroborated at the building level. Multiple listings explicitly call out “sauna,” “steam baths,” and “steam showers,” making this a high-confidence shared amenity despite some remarks omitting it.

Storage Unit
Yes
High

Storage is clearly supported across many current remarks, with at least several listings explicitly referencing storage availability or ownership of a storage unit/locker. Examples include "Optional storage room S6-3 is available," "the owner has also purchased a storage unit," "one deeded storage," "surboard and Bike storage," and "private storage locker available 77 sqft for purchase." The repeated, specific references across different listings make this a strong building-level feature rather than a copy-paste checkbox issue.

Surfboard Storage
Yes
High

The public remarks directly confirm dedicated surfboard storage facilities. This appears more than once and is clear confirmation of the feature.

Tennis Court
No
High

MLS shows tennis courts rarely (3 of 20) and agent text consistently describes tennis courts as located in nearby parks or reached via a pedestrian bridge, not within Koula's on-site amenities. Evidence supports that the building itself does not provide private tennis courts.

Trash Chute
Yes
High

Trash chute remains a very high-confidence building feature based on unanimous historical MLS data. It is not commonly mentioned in remarks, but that is typical for an ordinary common-area utility feature rather than evidence against its existence.

Valet
No

No analysis available

Wall Fence
No

No analysis available

Whirlpool
Yes
High

Whirlpool/spa amenities are very strongly supported. The remarks frequently reference “two whirlpools,” “2 jacuzzis,” “hot tub,” and “spas,” which is consistent across listings and aligns with the unanimous MLS evidence.

Pool
Yes
High

Strong building-level evidence supports a shared pool amenity at Ko‘ula/Koula. Current remarks mention it in many listings, with phrases such as "swimming pool," "lap pool," "heated pool," "infinity pool," and "resort-style pool," often alongside spas and cabanas. The consistency across multiple listings and agents makes this a very high-confidence amenity.

Pool Heated
Yes
High

There is strong evidence the building's pool is heated. Multiple remarks explicitly state "heated lap pool" or "heated pool," and other listings refer to the pool area as spa-like or resort-style, which is consistent with a heated amenity deck. The repeated wording across different listings supports this as a real building feature rather than copy-paste noise.

Pool Salt
No
Low

I searched for explicit salt-water pool language such as saltwater, saline, or salt pool. The remarks mention many pools and spas, but none identify the water type as salt.

Laundry In Unit
Yes
High

Laundry in unit is very strongly supported across the listing set. Multiple remarks explicitly mention 'washer & dryer in unit,' 'Miele washer & dryer in unit,' and 'washer/dryer in the residence,' consistent with the historical MLS inclusions showing washer/dryer on all listings. The evidence appears consistent across many agents and is not limited to a single copy-paste remark.

Community Laundry
No

No analysis available

Community Laundry Paid
No
Low

I looked for any public remark indicating shared laundry requires payment, such as coin laundry, card-operated machines, or laundry fees. None were found, and the listings instead mention in-unit washer/dryer appliances.

Community Laundry Every Floor
No
Low

I searched the public remarks for explicit wording like laundry on each floor, laundry room on every level, or similar community-laundry distribution language. Nothing in the listings confirms shared laundry on every floor, and the only laundry references are to in-unit washer/dryer.

Parking
Yes

No analysis available

Parking Assigned
Yes
High

Assigned parking is consistently supported across the remarks, with many listings explicitly stating one assigned stall/space, deeded parking, or assigned parking near the elevator. The evidence appears broad and not limited to a single agent, making this a strong building-level feature.

Parking Covered
Yes
High

Covered parking is overwhelmingly supported by the remarks, including multiple explicit references to covered stalls, covered side-by-side parking, and weather-protected parking. The consistency across many listings suggests this is a reliable shared building feature.

Parking Deeded
Yes
High

There is explicit language indicating at least one stall is deeded, which means owned with the unit. Several listings also describe assigned or standard stalls in a way consistent with deeded parking.

Parking E V
No

No analysis available

Parking Fee
Low

I searched for language about parking fees, monthly parking costs, rentals, or additional charges and found none. The remarks discuss assigned, included, deeded, and EV-charged stalls, but do not state a separate parking fee.

Parking Guest
Yes
High

Guest parking is well supported by both the MLS history and the public remarks. Multiple listings reference guest stalls and ample guest parking, indicating this is a common building amenity rather than a one-off note.

Parking Secured Entry
Yes
High

Secured entry is supported by multiple remarks, though the wording is more often about building security and concierge than parking-specific gates or card access. Still, the combination of secured building entries, 24/7 security, and courtesy patrols provides strong support for this feature.

Parking Tandem
No

No analysis available

Parking Valet
No

No analysis available

Parking Waitlist
No
Low

I looked for explicit waitlist language such as parking waitlist, waiting list, or join-the-list wording and found nothing. Based on the absence of any such remark, this is treated as false with low-to-moderate confidence.

Security Keyed Elevator
No

No analysis available

Security Card
Yes
High

The listings provide strong evidence of electronic access control, which aligns with card/fob-style building security. While the exact wording is often app-based or electronic locks rather than literal card/fob, it still supports a secured access system.

Security Guard
Yes
High

Security service is strongly supported across the public remarks and MLS history. Multiple listings explicitly mention '24-hr security,' '24/7 security,' 'security guard,' and 'courtesy patrols,' indicating this is a consistent building-level feature rather than a one-off agent note. The evidence appears broad and repetitive across many listings, so confidence is very high.

Security Patrol
Yes
High

There are direct mentions of courtesy patrols and private patrol service in the remarks. This is strong public evidence that the building/community has security patrol coverage.

Security Video
No

No analysis available

Central AC
Yes
High

Central air conditioning is strongly supported across the supplied remarks, with multiple listings explicitly stating 'central AC' or 'central air-conditioning.' This aligns with the historical MLS data showing 18/20 listings in unit_features and 19/20 in inclusions, indicating a consistent building-level feature rather than a copy-paste mistake.

Split AC
No
High

I found no remark-level evidence that Koula offers split/ductless AC systems. Only a small minority of MLS entries have ACSPL checked, and none of the supplied remarks describe mini-splits or individual ductless units, so the building should not be treated as offering split AC based on the current evidence.

Window AC
No

No analysis available

Concrete
Yes
High

Concrete construction is strongly supported at the building level. Current MLS data shows 19 of 20 listings marked CONCRE, and the public remarks consistently describe Ko'ula as a new 41-story luxury tower/high-rise. While the remarks do not explicitly say "concrete," the MLS pattern is very strong and consistent across many listings rather than looking like a one-off agent copy-paste issue.

Double Wall
Yes
High

Double-wall construction is supported by a majority of current MLS listings, with 15 of 20 marked DOUWAL. The public remarks do not explicitly mention "double wall" or similar wording, but there is no evidence suggesting the feature was removed or incorrectly entered across the building. Because the checkbox appears repeatedly across listings, this looks more like consistent building data than random agent copy-paste.

Hollow Tile
No

No analysis available

Masonry/Stucco
No
Low

A small number of MLS checklist entries (2 of 20 currently; previously up to 3 of 20) list masonry/stucco, but none of the dozens of public remarks mention 'masonry' or 'stucco.' Historical records show prior High confidence, so the feature is retained but with modest confidence due to lack of corroborating remarks and reduced current checklist frequency.

Steel Frame
Yes
Medium

There is some credible but not explicit support for steel-frame construction. Only 4 of 20 MLS entries check STEFRA, and a few remarks reference the building’s structural design, including moving columns to the exterior and an 'exoskeleton,' which is suggestive but not definitive. This looks more like partially inferred MLS usage than repeated explicit confirmation.

Slab
No
Low

Very limited MLS checkbox support for slab foundation (2 of 20 listings) and no supporting language in public remarks (no references to "concrete slab" or "solid concrete foundation"). Current evidence does not support including slab foundation as a building-level feature, but confidence is low—owner/site verification would be needed for a definitive determination.

Stone
No

No analysis available

Wood Frame
No
Low

Only 2 of 20 MLS listings include wood-frame (WOOFRA) in the construction materials, while none of the remarks describe the building as wood-frame—agents instead mention wood flooring/engineered wood finishes. This is weak and likely a checkbox/copy-paste error, so presence of wood-frame construction is uncertain (low confidence).

Above Ground
Yes
High

The building-level evidence for above-ground construction remains strong. Historical MLS notes were already high confidence, and current remarks repeatedly mention the podium tower, 5th-floor/6th-floor podium units, and lobby-level access, all consistent with an above-ground podium/tower design.

Brick
No
High

Only 1 of 20 MLS entries lists BRICK and no public remarks mention brick or brick construction. Historical records show no prior confidence for brick; evidence indicates the lone checkbox is likely a copy/paste error and the building is not brick‑constructed.

Single Wall
No

No analysis available

STR Allowed
No
High

The remarks directly prohibit short-term rentals in the building. That is clear, building-level evidence that STRs are not allowed.

STR Hotel Pool
No
High

Because short-term rentals are explicitly prohibited, a hotel rental pool cannot apply here. I also found no mention of hotel-managed rental programs, branded pools, or similar arrangements.

STR Mandatory Pool
No
High

The building is explicitly not permitting short-term rentals, so a mandatory rental pool is not supported. I also found no language about required participation, no opt-out restrictions, or mandatory rental program terms.

Land Tenure: Fee Simple
No

No analysis available

Land Tenure: Leasehold
No

No analysis available

Lease Expiry Year
2026
High

The public remarks give a specific lease-end year, which is exactly what the field requires. Since the lease end is explicitly stated, the expiry year is 2026.

Financing V A
Yes
High

Multiple listings directly confirm VA approval, which is strong public evidence. No conflicting remarks were found, so this is a high-confidence true.

Insured Fully
Yes
High

The remarks directly and repeatedly state that the building is fully insured, which aligns with walls-in/comprehensive HOA coverage. This is strong public evidence supporting the current true value.

Fire Sprinklers
Yes
High

Fire sprinklers are strongly supported as a building-level feature. The MLS data shows FIRSPR in 19 of 20 listings, and at least one public remark explicitly includes "fire sprinklers" among the building amenities. This looks consistent across listings rather than a one-off copy-paste error.

Fire Life Safety Eval Pass
No
Low

I searched the public remarks for fire/life safety evaluation language such as FLSE passed, fire safety certified, passed fire inspection, or life safety compliant, but found nothing. With no explicit mention, this cannot be confirmed from the remarks.

Flood Zone (Current)
X
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)
X

No analysis available

View: Ocean
Yes
High

Ocean views are clearly a building-level feature for Koula. Dozens of remarks mention phrases like “ocean views,” “Pacific horizon,” “blue ocean,” “Pacific Ocean,” and “oceanfront,” confirming that many units in the building offer this view. The evidence is broad across multiple agents and stacks, not just a single listing.

View: Mountain
Yes
High

Mountain views are recurring but less universal than ocean/city. The building has multiple remarks referencing 'mountain views,' 'Diamond Head,' and 'mauka to makai,' consistent with the MLS evidence (6/20 current listings).

View: Diamond Head
Yes
High

Diamond Head views are strongly established for Koula. Many listings explicitly say “Diamond Head view,” “Diamond Head facing,” or note views of Diamond Head crater, with several units described on the Diamond Head side of the building. This is consistent across numerous remarks and appears to be a true building-level view option.

View: City
Yes
High

City views are well supported for Koula. The remarks repeatedly reference “city views,” “Honolulu city skyline,” and “city lights,” including units that combine city with ocean, harbor, or park views. The evidence appears across many listings and is consistent with the historical MLS pattern.

View: Coastline
Yes
High

Coastline views are present in some Koula units and are actively advertised. The remarks include direct mentions of 'coastline view' and 'Waikiki coastline,' which matches the MLS pattern showing coastline in a meaningful subset of listings.

View: Garden
Yes
High

Multiple listings explicitly reference views of or proximity to Victoria Ward Park and landscaped/garden-like settings (quotes include 'overlooking the park’s garden-like setting', 'front of the building... overlooks Victoria Ward Park', and 'park-like setting'). These consistent remarks across different listings and units indicate garden/courtyard/landscaped views are offered in the building.

View: Golf Course
No

No analysis available

View: Marina
Yes
High

Marina/harbor views are a real offering in the building, especially for certain stacks. Multiple remarks mention 'marina,' 'harbor,' 'Kewalo Basin Harbor,' and 'Honolulu Harbor,' matching the MLS pattern that includes MARCAN in several listings.

View: Sunrise
Yes
High

Sunrise/morning exposure is advertised in multiple listings: 6 of 20 MLS view_descriptions include SUNRIS and remarks reference morning light or enjoying coffee in the morning (e.g., "Wake each morning...", "morning coffee"). The explicit mentions across listings indicate some units provide sunrise views.

View: Sunset
Yes
High

Sunset views are clearly marketed for Koula, especially on higher floors and west/diamond-head-facing units. The remarks repeatedly use phrases like 'sunset views,' 'breathtaking sunsets,' and 'Friday night fireworks,' making this a well-supported building feature.

View: Cemetery
No

No analysis available

Fireworks View
Yes
High

The listings clearly state that units can see Friday night fireworks from the building. This is direct view-based evidence, not merely proximity to fireworks.

Frontage Type
Ocean

No analysis available

Pets Allowed
No

No analysis available

Resident Manager
Yes
High

Resident manager is well supported as a building-level feature. The MLS data shows RESMAN in 18 of 20 listings, and one remark directly states there is "an on-site resident manager." The evidence is consistent and strong across multiple listings, suggesting the amenity is real and building-wide.

Condotel
No

No analysis available

Coop
No

No analysis available

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.
