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.

Additional details from the MLS indicate covered, assigned parking is available with guest parking provided. Pets and short-term rentals are not allowed. The building’s management company is listed as Associa. This summary is based on MLS data; buyers should verify all details, fees, and policies with the listing agent or management company prior to making decisions.

Owner Occupancy
Low

The remarks were searched for explicit owner-occupancy percentages and statements describing the building as majority or highly owner occupied. Although one listing mentions an opportunity for owner-occupants or investors, this does not provide a building-wide percentage, so the value remains unknown.

Elevators
6
High

The public remarks repeatedly confirm six passenger elevators, in addition to two service elevators. This matches the current value and building context.

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)
$1,376
High

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

Fee Includes Central AC
Yes
High

At least five listings show central AC in the current MLS data, and several remarks explicitly identify units as having "central AC" or "central air-conditioning." The remarks confirm central air is a building/unit feature, while fee inclusion is supported by the current association-code data but appears inconsistently entered.

Fee Includes Cable
Yes
High

Sixteen of 20 current listings list CABTV in the association fee inclusions. No public remarks explicitly quote cable TV inclusion, so this appears primarily based on consistent MLS data rather than independent agent descriptions.

Fee Includes Common
Yes
Medium

Twelve of 20 listings identify OTCOEX in the association fee fields, supporting inclusion of common-area electricity or building power. No public remarks explicitly state "common area electricity" or similar, so the evidence is primarily MLS checkbox data and may include some agent copy/paste.

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 current MLS pattern strongly supports exclusion: 18 of 20 listings identify WTRHTR and only one identifies HOTWAT. No public remark mentions hot water being included, and the water-heater data is consistent across many listings.

Fee Includes Internet
Yes
High

Nineteen of 20 listings list INTSER in the association fee inclusions. Although no remarks quote internet or Wi-Fi service, the consistency across nearly all records makes this strong MLS-based evidence.

Fee Includes Marina
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Sewer
Yes
High

Nineteen of 20 listings identify SEWER as included in association fees. None of the public remarks explicitly use phrases such as "sewer included," but the consistency across nearly all listings provides strong building-level evidence.

Fee Includes Water
Yes
High

All 20 listings identify WATER as included in association fees. No public remarks explicitly state "water included," but the unanimous MLS data across the building is very strong evidence, despite the possibility of copied checkbox information.

Bbq
Yes
High

More than 20 remarks explicitly mention “BBQ cabanas,” “BBQ pavilions,” “grilling pavilions,” “multiple BBQ stations,” or “barbecue areas.” The feature is consistently described as a shared building amenity across many agents.

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

At least one listing explicitly states that residents can reserve a “Club House,” while multiple others describe common rooms, grand lounges, resident lounges, and gathering spaces. The exact clubhouse label is less consistently used than the underlying shared-space amenity, but the building offers clubhouse-style space.

Concierge
Yes
High

At least 5 listings explicitly mention concierge service, including "concierge service," "24/7 security and concierge service," and "24-hour concierge service." Although concierge is mentioned less often than security, the direct references occur in multiple listings and align with the current MLS amenity data.

Dog Park
Yes
High

The dog park is directly confirmed in numerous remarks, including “dog park,” “dedicated outdoor spaces for pets,” and “a place for your furry friend to run and play.” The feature appears across multiple agents and is a shared building amenity, consistent with the 12/20 MLS records.

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

Exercise facilities are confirmed across well over 15 listings, with repeated phrases including “state-of-the-art fitness center,” “fully equipped fitness center,” “indoor/outdoor fitness centers,” and “world class Fitness Gym.” The evidence is strong across many listing descriptions and is not limited to a single copied remark.

Limo Service
No

No analysis available

Meeting Room
Yes
High

Several listings directly mention “meeting rooms” or “multiple meeting rooms,” with additional references to private meeting cabanas and event rooms. The evidence is strong across multiple agents and confirms shared meeting or conference-type facilities.

Patio Deck
Yes
High

Patio/deck amenities are strongly established across the building: at least 17 of 20 listings have MLS PATDEC/COVPAT indicators, and numerous remarks from different listings explicitly mention private or usable lanais, two lanais, balconies, and outdoor living space. The evidence is consistent across unit types and agents, confirming this is a building-wide feature rather than isolated copy-paste.

Path Jogging
Yes
Medium

Evidence for a jogging/walking path is limited and mostly indirect. A few remarks reference "walking paths," a pedestrian bridge, and Ward Village's walkable environment, but there is little explicit confirmation of a dedicated building-level jogging path.

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

Numerous listings explicitly mention the “8th floor recreation deck,” “over an acre of outdoor amenities,” “Great Lawn,” outdoor lounges, and landscaped recreation spaces. The evidence is broad and consistent across independent listing remarks.

Recreation Room
Yes
High

At least 15 listings reference recreation-room functionality, including “recreation lounge,” “indoor/outdoor entertainment rooms,” “private party rooms,” and “resident great room.” Although terminology varies, the repeated descriptions establish shared recreational rooms in the building.

Restaurant
Yes
High

At least three listings explicitly describe an on-site “Dean & DeLuca café,” including one on the lobby level and another on the ground floor; other listings mention a dining bar and extensive resident dining facilities. This supports an in-building café/dining facility, although nearby restaurants are often mentioned separately.

Rooftop
No

No analysis available

Sauna
Yes
High

Many listings explicitly reference “sauna rooms,” “dry sauna,” “steam baths,” and “locker rooms with steam showers & sauna.” The repeated, specific descriptions across independent remarks strongly confirm the amenity.

Storage Unit
Yes
High

Storage is strongly confirmed across numerous listings, with well over 7 remarks explicitly mentioning storage rooms, lockers, or deeded storage. Key phrases include “premium 63 sq. ft. deeded storage ROOM,” “Storage unit S404,” “Optional storage room S6-3,” “private storage locker available 77 sqft,” and “one deeded storage”; the repeated detailed references from multiple listings support a legitimate building/unit amenity rather than copied checkbox data.

Surfboard Storage
Yes
High

Dedicated surfboard storage is directly identified in multiple public remarks, often alongside bike storage. The repeated explicit wording strongly confirms this 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

All 20 current listings indicate the trash-chute feature in MLS, but none of the supplied remarks explicitly uses “trash chute,” “garbage chute,” or “refuse chute.” Because the historical/current checkbox evidence is uniformly positive and there is no contrary correction, the feature is retained with lower confidence than amenities repeatedly described in remarks.

Valet
No

No analysis available

Wall Fence
No

No analysis available

Whirlpool
Yes
High

More than 15 listings explicitly mention “two hot tubs,” “2 jacuzzis,” “dual whirlpool spas,” or “two oversized spas.” The feature is consistently presented as a shared resort-style building amenity.

Pool
Yes
High

Pool amenities are confirmed across many listings from multiple agents, with well over 20 remarks mentioning a shared pool or lap pool. Repeated phrases include “25-yard lap pool,” “resort-style pool,” “infinity pool,” and “swimming pool,” demonstrating strong building-level evidence rather than an isolated or copied checkbox.

Pool Heated
Yes
High

At least 5 current listing remarks explicitly identify the pool as heated, including 'heated lap pool,' '25 yard heated pool,' and '25 yard heated pool with poolside cabanas.' The explicit wording appears across multiple listings and confirms the heated-pool amenity even though the dedicated HEATED pool_features field is unchecked.

Pool Salt
No
Low

The building clearly has multiple pool-related amenities, including heated and lap pools. However, none of the public remarks identify the pool as saltwater or saline.

Laundry In Unit
Yes
High

In-unit laundry is strongly confirmed across the building. At least 15 current remarks explicitly mention washer/dryer in the unit or laundry appliances, including “full-size in-unit washer/dryer,” “Miele washer & dryer in unit,” and “washer/dryer in the residence,” while MLS inclusions support it in 20/20 listings. The evidence is repeated across multiple units and listing agents, not limited to a single copied description.

Community Laundry
No

No analysis available

Community Laundry Paid
No
Low

The remarks primarily describe private in-unit washers and dryers. No evidence of paid community laundry, coin laundry, laundry fees, or card-operated machines was found.

Community Laundry Every Floor
No
Low

The remarks mention in-unit washers and dryers and, in some cases, a separate laundry room within a unit. No community laundry facility available on every floor was identified.

Parking
Yes

No analysis available

Parking Assigned
Yes
High

Assigned parking is strongly confirmed across the building: 17 of 20 current listings contain the MLS assigned-parking code. Multiple independent remarks explicitly mention “assigned parking,” “deeded parking,” “same-floor assigned parking stall,” and numbered stalls, so the evidence is not merely checkbox copy-paste.

Parking Covered
Yes
High

Covered parking is conclusively supported by MLS data in 20 of 20 listings. Numerous remarks independently confirm the feature with phrases such as “covered parking,” “two covered side-by-side parking stalls,” “weather protected parking,” and “covered parking on the 6th floor,” demonstrating strong building-wide evidence.

Parking Deeded
Yes
High

Multiple listings identify parking stalls as deeded, owned, included, or conveyed with units. This confirms that at least some Koula units have deeded parking.

Parking E V
No

No analysis available

Parking Fee
Low

The remarks repeatedly mention assigned, covered, compact, full-size, deeded, EV-equipped, and leased parking, including an optional leased second stall. However, none of the listings states a monthly parking charge or rental price, so the fee is unknown from public remarks.

Parking Guest
Yes
High

Guest parking is well supported: 14 of 20 current listings contain the MLS guest-parking code. Several detailed remarks independently cite “22 guest stalls,” “ample guest parking,” and “guest parking,” providing clear confirmation beyond potentially copied MLS checkboxes.

Parking Secured Entry
Yes
High

Nine of 20 current listings contain secured-entry or secured-parking MLS data, while several remarks explicitly state “secured building entries,” describe a “secured parking stall,” or reference Latch electronic access and 24-hour security. Although fewer listings mention this feature than covered or assigned parking, the explicit access-control language across multiple listings strongly supports it.

Parking Tandem
No

No analysis available

Parking Valet
No

No analysis available

Parking Waitlist
No
Low

The remarks describe numerous parking configurations and guest parking availability, but do not mention a building parking waitlist system. Based on the absence of explicit waitlist language, this feature is assessed as false with medium confidence.

Security Keyed Elevator
No

No analysis available

Security Card
Yes
High

Multiple remarks explicitly describe electronic building access and door-lock systems. These references support card, fob, app-based, or comparable electronic access security.

Security Guard
Yes
High

At least 10 listings explicitly mention security service, using phrases such as "24-hour security," "24-hr security," "24/7 security," and "24 hour on-site security." The evidence is strong across multiple listings and agents, reinforced by 16/20 current MLS records marking SECGUA; some repeated wording may be copy-pasted, but the feature is consistently supported.

Security Patrol
Yes
High

Several listings directly identify patrol services associated with the building or Ward Village. The repeated references provide strong evidence that security patrol service is available.

Security Video
No

No analysis available

Central AC
Yes
High

Central air is strongly confirmed across the building. Numerous listings explicitly state “central air conditioning,” “central AC,” “central A/C,” “quiet central AC,” or “centralized air-conditioning,” including multiple distinct unit descriptions, while 18/20 current listings include ACCEN/CENAC and all 20 include ACCEN.

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 is identified in the construction materials field in all 20 current listings. No public remarks explicitly state "concrete construction," but the consistency across all listings and prior high confidence make this strong building-level evidence.

Double Wall
Yes
High

Fourteen of 20 current listings identify DOUWAL in the construction materials field, supporting the feature across multiple listings. No remark explicitly states “double wall” or “two walls”; references to “double-glazed” and “double-paned” windows should not be treated as direct confirmation, but the repeated MLS designation and prior High confidence support inclusion.

Hollow Tile
No

No analysis available

Masonry/Stucco
No
High

Only three of 20 current listings identify MASSTU, and none of the extensive public remarks mention masonry or stucco. Because historical confidence was low and the remarks provide no corroboration, this feature is omitted as unsupported.

Steel Frame
Yes
Medium

Steel frame is indicated in 6 of 20 current MLS listings, but no public remark explicitly confirms a steel frame. The partial and inconsistent checkbox pattern, together with the absence of corroborating remarks, supports inclusion only with moderate confidence.

Slab
Yes
Medium

Slab foundation has very limited MLS support, with only 2 of 20 listings marked SLAB, and the public remarks do not explicitly mention a concrete slab. Because Koula is a modern high-rise concrete building, a slab foundation is plausible, but the evidence is weak and mostly implied rather than directly stated. This should be treated as low-to-moderate confidence and revisited if stronger listing language appears.

Stone
No
High

Across the listings, there are many mentions of 'natural stone countertops' and 'stone palettes,' but none explicitly describe the building itself as stone-constructed or having a stone exterior. With only 1 of 20 MLS records showing STONE in construction materials and no supporting remarks from agents, this looks like a likely copy-paste or data-entry error rather than a true building feature.

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

Above-ground construction remains well supported despite only 5 of 20 current listings carrying ABOGRO. Multiple independent remarks describe the property as a '41-story condominium,' '41-story tower,' and 'luxury high-rise,' providing clear contextual confirmation with no evidence of a change.

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 contain a direct building-level prohibition on short-term rentals. No listing provides evidence of an exception, NUC, TVU, or other legal STR authorization.

STR Hotel Pool
No
High

Because STRs are not allowed, the prerequisite for hotel rental pool participation is not met. The remarks also contain no evidence of a hotel-operated rental pool.

STR Mandatory Pool
No
High

Mandatory hotel pool participation cannot apply when short-term rentals are prohibited. No remarks state that owners must place units in a rental program.

Land Tenure: Fee Simple
No

No analysis available

Land Tenure: Leasehold
No

No analysis available

Lease Expiry Year
2026
High

The remarks identify the lease expiration as mid-July 2026. No later renewal, extension, or more recent expiration year is mentioned, so 2026 is used.

Financing V A
Yes
High

Several listings directly confirm VA approval for Koula. The repeated building-level statements provide very strong evidence that VA financing is permitted.

Insured Fully
Yes
High

The building's full insurance status is directly and repeatedly confirmed in the remarks, including the explicit phrase "Building is VA approved and is FULLY insured!" This supports high confidence that the HOA provides full building insurance coverage.

Fire Sprinklers
Yes
High

Fire sprinklers are supported by 19 of 20 current MLS listings and explicit remarks in at least two listings, including the phrases 'fire sprinklers' and 'building ... fire sprinklers.' The evidence is strong across the MLS data and is consistent with the previously high-confidence determination.

Fire Life Safety Eval Pass
No
Low

The remarks were searched for references to FLSE or fire/life safety evaluation passage, certification, compliance, and passed inspections. None were found; mentions of fire sprinklers do not establish that the building passed an evaluation.

Flood Zone (Current)
AE
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)
AE

No analysis available

View: Ocean
Yes
High

Ocean views are overwhelmingly supported across the building, with 17 of 20 current listings mentioning OCEAN. Repeated remarks from multiple listings and unit types describe Pacific Ocean, coastline, harbor, and oceanfront views, including "breathtaking direct views of the Pacific Ocean" and "unobstructed ocean views." This is strong, consistent evidence rather than a single copied remark.

View: Mountain
Yes
High

Mountain views are clearly present in Koula, though not every unit has them. Multiple listings mention “mountain views,” “mauka to makai,” “Diamond Head and the mountains,” and “panoramic range,” supporting building-level availability rather than a one-off claim.

View: Diamond Head
Yes
High

Diamond Head views are clearly available in the building, with 8 of 20 listings mentioning DIAHEA. Key remarks include "Diamond Head anchors the horizon," "panoramic views of Diamond Head," and "180 degree views of Diamond Head," demonstrating support across multiple unit types and agents.

View: City
Yes
High

City views are strongly established, appearing in 15 of 20 current listings. Multiple independent remarks describe Honolulu's skyline, city lights, city views, and urban views, indicating the feature is available from portions of the building rather than being a single isolated claim.

View: Coastline
Yes
High

Coastline views are supported by 6 of 20 current listings, with repeated explicit references to the Waikiki coastline and coastal views. Remarks such as 'sparkling ocean views, the Waikiki coastline' and 'ocean, coastline, city and Diamond Head views' confirm that coastline views are available in the building.

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 and harbor views are credibly available, despite appearing in fewer listings than ocean or city views. Explicit phrases include 'ocean, marina,' 'Kewalo Boat Harbor,' 'Kewalo Basin Yacht Harbor,' and 'views of the marina,' repeated across multiple high-floor and corner-unit listings.

View: Sunrise
Yes
High

Sunrise views are supported, though they are limited to particular orientations and stacks rather than all units. Remarks include "Wake up & unwind," "morning light moves across" the residence, "as the sun lights the sky," and an explicit "Diamond Head, Sunrise, City" view description.

View: Sunset
Yes
High

Sunset views are well supported, with 8 of 20 current listings explicitly mentioning SUNSET. Multiple remarks across different units describe "breathtaking sunsets," "ocean, sunset, mountain and city views," and sunset views from private lanais, while other listings reference west-facing or sunset-oriented residences. The evidence confirms that the building offers units with sunset views, although it is naturally limited to certain stacks and orientations.

View: Cemetery
No

No analysis available

Fireworks View
Yes
High

Multiple remarks directly describe Friday night fireworks being visible from units or their lanais. This satisfies the requirement for a fireworks view from the building.

Frontage Type
Marina

No analysis available

Pets Allowed
No

No analysis available

Resident Manager
Yes
High

Resident management is supported by all 20 of 20 current MLS listings, with at least two explicit remarks stating 'on-site resident manager' and additional wording referencing a building manager. The repeated MLS data and direct remarks from multiple listings provide strong confirmation.

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.
