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.
Koula
Building Overview
Koula in Downtown-Chinatown — concrete/steel frame building with pool and central air conditioning.

About Koula
Koula is a residential building located in the Downtown-Chinatown neighborhood. According to available MLS records, year built and overall building size are not specified in the data provided. The building is constructed of concrete with a steel frame and is served by six elevators.

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.
Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
I searched all public remarks for numeric owner-occupancy statements and qualitative owner-occupancy language and found no explicit percentage or reliable statement. Owner-occupancy is a numeric field; without explicit evidence we cannot infer a value, so it remains unknown (null) with low confidence.
Multiple public remarks explicitly mention six passenger elevators (with two additional service elevators referenced in some ads). Per rules, use the explicit numeric count found in remarks. This matches the current building context.
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.
Although only 4/20 MLS checkboxes list ACCEN, public remarks across numerous listings explicitly state 'central AC' or 'central air-conditioning' (e.g., 'central AC ensures year-round comfort', 'central air-conditioning'), providing strong corroborating evidence that central A/C is a building-provided/standard feature.
MLS association_fee_includes marks cable (CABTV) for 17 of 20 current listings. None of the public remarks explicitly state 'cable included' (agents rarely call this out), but the strong and consistent MLS checkbox signal across multiple listings suggests building association fees include cable. Evidence is widespread across listings and likely not a single-agent copy/paste error.
MLS data marks common-area electricity (OTCOEX) as included in roughly 16 of 20 listings. Public remarks describe many shared amenities (hallways, pool, fitness centers) but don't typically state 'common electric included'—yet the strong MLS checkbox pattern across multiple listings supports that common-area electricity is included in maintenance fees.

Only 1 of 20 MLS records checks GAS for association fees and none of the public remarks mention 'gas included' or that the HOA pays gas. There is insufficient evidence to mark gas as included in maintenance fees.
19 of 20 listings include WTRHTR in unit inclusions while only 1 listing marks HOTWAT as included in association fees, indicating hot water is supplied by individual unit water heaters rather than being covered by HOA fees. Public remarks contain no statements like 'hot water included,' so evidence strongly supports hot water NOT being included in maintenance fees.
MLS association_fee_includes marks internet service (INTSER) included for about 16 of 20 listings. Agent remarks seldom state 'internet included,' and none explicitly deny it here, so the consistent MLS checkbox pattern across multiple listings supports that internet is included in the association fees.
No analysis available
About 17 of 20 MLS records indicate sewer is included in association fees. Public remarks (amenities and building descriptions) don't typically mention sewer, but the strong and consistent MLS checkbox presence across many listings indicates sewer is covered by HOA fees.
MLS marks water as included in association fees for 18 of 20 listings. While public remarks rarely state 'water included,' the consistent MLS pattern across multiple listings and the absence of contradicting remarks support that water is included in the maintenance fees.
Strong evidence across listings: ~19/20 MLS entries and many agent remarks include phrases like 'BBQ cabanas', 'BBQ pavilions', 'barbecue pavilion(s)' and 'grilling pavilions', indicating building-level BBQ/grilling facilities available to residents.

Moderate-to-strong evidence: while MLS checkbox coverage was limited historically, multiple agent remarks explicitly mention a Club House or reservable club space ('reserve a Club House right next to the pool deck', 'Club House next to the pool deck'), suggesting a shared clubhouse/community room is present.
Moderate-to-strong evidence that the building offers concierge service: the CONCIE amenity is present on 5 of 20 listings and at least ~6 public-remarks entries explicitly reference “concierge” or “concierge service” (examples: “24/7 security and concierge service,” “24‑hour concierge”), consistent across different listings though less ubiquitous than security, so confidence is slightly lower.
Multiple listings (16/20) and numerous remarks explicitly mention a 'dog park', 'dog bath' and 'dedicated outdoor spaces for pets', indicating a building-level dog park/pet area accessible to residents.
Multiple listings (3+ from different agents) reference a concierge or resident manager, including phrases like '24/7 security and concierge service', 'security guard, manager ... and concierge', and 'on-site resident manager' tied to the building’s amenities. This shows the building maintains staffed front-desk/lobby services similar to a doorman, even if most agents are not checking the DOORMA box. Given these consistent descriptions, the building should be treated as offering a doorman/concierge-style amenity.
Strong, consistent evidence across the dataset: 20/20 MLS entries list an exercise/fitness room and many remarks explicitly say 'fitness center', 'indoor and outdoor fitness centers', 'fitness pavilion' and 'ocean-view gym'. Multiple agents independently describe expanded fitness facilities, so building-level availability is well-supported.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: many listings mention meeting and conference-type spaces (phrases include 'meeting rooms', 'private dining rooms', 'Grand Dining Room', 'private party rooms'), consistent across multiple agent remarks and MLS entries.
Strong evidence the building offers patios/decks: 14 of 20 current MLS listings include the PATDEC/COVPAT checkbox, and multiple listing remarks repeatedly state 'lanai', 'private lanai', 'two lanais', or 'balcony' (e.g., 'large private lanai', 'usable lanai', 'two lanais'). Mentions appear across many agents' remarks and are corroborated by consistent amenity descriptions (pool deck cabanas and outdoor BBQ pavilions) indicating substantial outdoor/lanai access for units and common areas.
Eight MLS entries mark WAJOPA, and one descriptive listing notes that the development includes 'green spaces, walking paths, and bike lanes' as part of its LEED-oriented design.

At least one detailed amenity description lists 'putting for golf' among features, and MLS shows PUTGRE checked on 1/20 listings.
Strong evidence: 18/20 MLS entries and many agent remarks describe 'over an acre of outdoor amenity space', 'amenity deck', 'great lawn', 'outdoor fitness spaces' and 'pool deck', supporting that the building offers significant shared outdoor recreation areas.
Well-supported by multiple listings: 17/20 MLS entries and numerous remarks mention 'recreation room', 'event rooms', 'entertainment rooms', 'Grand Lanai' and similar common-area entertainment spaces, indicating shared recreation rooms are part of the amenity package.
Multiple listings (about 11/20) and several remarks explicitly reference on-site dining—most notably 'a Dean & DeLuca café in the lobby' and other in-building café/restaurant mentions—supporting inclusion of an on-site restaurant/café.
No analysis available
Strong corroboration: 18/20 MLS entries and many agent remarks mention 'sauna', 'sauna rooms' and 'steam showers' (often paired with locker/treatment rooms), indicating sauna facilities are provided in the building.
Multiple listings explicitly reference building/unit storage: at least 6 listings mention available lockers or purchased storage (examples: “Optional storage room S6-3 is available for $40,000,” “Walk-in private storage locker available 77 sqft for purchase at $88,000.00,” and “one deeded storage”). Historical MLS checkbox data also shows storage checked on several current listings. The evidence is explicit across multiple remarks and agents rather than a single copy-paste, so confidence is high that the building offers storage units/lockers.
Public remarks explicitly note surfboard (board) storage as part of building amenities in multiple listings, often alongside bike storage, confirming surfboard storage is available.
MLS tickbox for tennis court is rare (1/20) and agent remarks refer to tennis courts in nearby parks or via the pedestrian bridge, not courts within the Koula building. There is no consistent remark evidence of an on-site private tennis court; therefore the building-level tennis_court feature is omitted.
MLS uniformly lists a trash/refuse chute (20/20), but agent public remarks rarely mention it. There is no evidence of checkbox corrections or remarks removing the feature, so it is included with moderate confidence pending direct confirmation.

Consistent evidence across listings: ~19/20 MLS entries and many agent remarks mention 'spas', 'whirlpools', 'jacuzzis' or 'hot tubs' (often 'two spas/whirlpools'), supporting building-level whirlpool/hot tub amenities.
Very strong evidence the building has a swimming pool: 20/20 MLS listings include pool amenity flags and numerous public remarks reference pool facilities. Remarks repeatedly use phrases like “lap pool,” “resort-style pool,” and “25-yard lap pool,” and the mentions appear consistently across multiple agents (some copy/paste of amenity language is present but the frequency is high).
Good-to-strong evidence the pool is heated: 14/20 MLS listings include the HEAPOO flag and many public remarks explicitly state “heated pool” or “heated lap pool” (quotes found: “heated lap pool”, “heated pool”, “25 yard heated pool with poolside cabanas”). Mentions are repeated across multiple listings/agents (some amenity language is likely copied between listings), but explicit heated‑pool language is frequent enough to be confident.
Searched for terms indicating a salt water pool (e.g., 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool'). Remarks describe heated/lap pools and spas but do not indicate the pool is salt water.
All current MLS listings (20/20) list WASHER/DRYER in the inclusions. Multiple remarks explicitly state phrases like 'washer and dryer', 'washer/dryer in unit', 'Miele washer & dryer in unit', and 'full-size washer/dryer', demonstrating that some units in the building have in-unit laundry. Evidence is consistent across many different listings/agents and supports inclusion of this feature.
No analysis available
Searched for terms such as 'coin laundry', 'paid laundry', 'coin-op', 'card operated', and 'quarters'. Remarks discuss in-unit laundry and building amenities but provide no evidence that any community laundry (if present) requires payment.
Searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry'. The public remarks consistently reference in-unit washers and dryers or general amenities, but contain no language indicating community laundry on every floor.
No analysis available
Strong evidence that Koula offers assigned parking: 13 of 20 current MLS listings include ASSIGN and numerous remarks explicitly state 'assigned parking stall' or 'one assigned parking stall' (examples: "assigned parking stall —located on the same floor as the unit", "one assigned parking stall is included"). Mentions appear across multiple listings and agents, confirming this is a consistent building-level feature.
Overwhelming evidence Koula provides covered parking: all 20 of 20 current MLS listings flag covered/garage and numerous remarks explicitly say 'covered parking', 'covered side-by-side parking stalls', or 'full-size covered parking space.' This feature is consistently described across listings and appears to be a building standard.
Public remarks repeatedly reference assigned or deeded parking stalls (including explicit 'deeded' language and many mentions of 'assigned parking stall' and 'full-size parking stall'), supporting that parking is deeded/owned with the unit.
No analysis available
Searched for 'parking fee', 'per month', '$/mo', 'monthly parking', and amounts but found no explicit monthly parking fee figures. While a few listings reference leased second stalls, no fee amounts were provided.
Moderately strong evidence for guest parking at Koula: 13 of 20 current MLS listings include GUEST and several remarks explicitly reference guest parking or a number of guest stalls (example: "Two covered side-by-side parking stalls on lobby level + 22 guest stalls"). Guest parking/guest stalls are mentioned across multiple listings and agents.
Good evidence that Koula/its parking access has secured entry: 11 of 20 current MLS listings flag secured entry and many remarks reference 'secured building entries', '24/7 security and concierge', or 'Ward Village courtesy patrols.' Security features are noted across listings and appear to be a consistent building amenity.

I searched the remarks for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', and similar terms and found none. Absence of any reference suggests there is no waitlist system mentioned in public remarks.
No analysis available
Public remarks explicitly mention Latch electronic door locks, Latch app access, and secured building entries, indicating card/fob/app-based electronic access is provided.
Strong evidence that the building provides security guard/24‑hour security: SECGUA is checked on 19 of 20 current listings and at least ~15 public-remarks entries explicitly mention phrases like “24/7 security,” “24‑hr security,” “private patrols,” or “security guard.” Mentions appear across many different agent remarks (not isolated to a single listing), supporting high confidence.
Several listings explicitly mention Ward Village courtesy or private patrols providing roving/added security service for the community, confirming a security patrol presence.
No analysis available
High-confidence evidence that Koula has building central air: historical MLS checkboxes flagged central AC in 18 of 20 units, and numerous recent listing remarks explicitly mention 'central AC' or 'central A/C' (e.g., 'Enjoy the comfort of central AC', 'central air-conditioning'). The repeated, consistent references across multiple agents and listings confirm the building-wide central air system.
Despite 2/20 MLS entries with ACSPL checked, none of the many detailed remarks across dozens of listings mention split systems, and the building is clearly designed around central AC, making split AC in units unlikely or exceptional at best.
No analysis available
Strong evidence across the MLS: 20 of 20 listings mark concrete (CONCRE) and historical reviews gave High confidence. Remarks reference substantial structural elements (e.g., "structural elements integrated into the design", "exoskeleton") and the building is repeatedly described as a new, solid high‑rise—consistent with concrete construction across multiple agents rather than isolated copy/paste.
Weak-to-moderate evidence: 8 of 20 current MLS checklist entries include double‑wall (DOUWAL) and past data rated this feature Medium. None of the public remarks explicitly state 'double wall' or 'double‑wall construction', so the claim currently relies on multiple MLS checkbox entries (which can be copy/paste prone) rather than explicit agent remarks.
No analysis available
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.
Moderate (implied) evidence: 6 of 20 current MLS checklist entries include steel‑frame (STEFRA) and remarks note the architect 'moved structural columns to the building's exterior, forming an exoskeleton' and 'structural elements integrated into the design,' which implies a non‑typical structural framing approach consistent with steel framing or exterior structural system. Evidence is spread across multiple listings but is implied rather than explicitly stating 'steel frame'.

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).
Multiple listings and historical MLS notes reference the building's podium/tower configuration and the amenity deck on the 8th floor (phrases like 'podium unit', 'podium tower', 'amenity deck on the 8th floor'). This consistent language across agents and past MLS data supports an above‑ground/podium construction designation.
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.
No analysis available
Public remarks include explicit prohibition of short-term rentals in at least one listing. I searched for 'short-term rental allowed', 'STR permitted', '30-day minimum', etc., and found explicit denial ('NO SHORT TERM RENTALS ALLOWED'), so STRs are not allowed per public remarks.
I searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', 'managed by hotel', 'rental pool', and related phrases and found none. Because STRs are explicitly disallowed in the remarks, hotel rental-pool participation cannot apply.
Searched for 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', and similar terms and found no evidence. Given STRs are disallowed and no mandatory pool language exists, mandatory participation is false.

Searched the remarks for phrases such as 'lease expires', 'land lease to', 'leasehold expiring', and 'renewed through' but found no leasehold expiration year or related language to extract a 4-digit year.
Multiple listings explicitly indicate Koula is VA-approved. I searched for phrases like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', and found explicit language confirming VA approval.
Several listings explicitly state the building is 'FULLY insured' (walls‑in / HOA coverage). Because public remarks directly mention full insurance coverage, this boolean is set to true with high confidence.
All 20 current MLS listings have the FIRSPR amenity checked and historical data was strongly positive (previously 19/20). Agent remarks explicitly include the phrase "fire sprinklers" (e.g., "manager, fire sprinklers and concierge"), and the checkbox consistency across all listings indicates strong, building-wide presence rather than isolated or erroneous copy/paste.
I searched all public remarks for explicit FLSE/fire life-safety certification language (e.g., 'FLSE passed', 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'passed fire inspection') and found none. Absence of explicit language means we cannot confirm the FLSE; defaulting to false with medium confidence per rules.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Numerous listings in the combined remarks explicitly advertise ocean or harbor views—phrases include “ocean views,” “oceanfront,” “Pacific Ocean,” and “ocean and Diamond Head.” Evidence appears across many different agent remarks and unit types (studios through 3‑bed penthouses), indicating building offers ocean-view units.
Multiple listings explicitly mention mountain or Diamond Head views—phrases include “Diamond Head,” “mountain views,” and “mauka to makai.” Mentions occur across many unit listings and stacks, supporting that some building units provide mountain/Diamond Head views.
Diamond Head is mentioned repeatedly across the combined remarks (phrases such as “Diamond Head views,” “Diamond Head facing,” “sweeping views of Diamond Head,” and “Diamond Head and ocean views”) in numerous unit descriptions and stacks. Although this feature was not previously recorded, the consistent, multi-listing mentions indicate the building offers units with Diamond Head views.
Many listings mention city or skyline views—examples include “Honolulu skyline,” “city views,” and “city lights.” These references appear across multiple unit listings, indicating the building includes units with city views.
Several listings explicitly call out coastline/shoreline perspectives and long shoreline views (phrases like “coastline,” “coastline, city and Diamond Head views,” and “coastline and ocean views”). The evidence is present across multiple agent remarks, indicating some units offer coastline views.
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.
No analysis available
Strong evidence that the building offers marina/harbor views: numerous listings explicitly reference 'Kewalo Basin', 'Kewalo Harbor', 'harbor', 'marina', or 'Kewalo Basin Yacht Harbor' (quotes include 'Views of Kewalo Basin', 'direct views of Kewalo Basin Yacht Harbor', and 'walkway overpass to Kewalo Basin Harbor'). These mentions appear across many unit remarks and from multiple agents/units rather than a single copy-paste entry, providing high confidence that marina views exist in the building.
No analysis available
Multiple current listings explicitly reference sunset experiences, including phrases like 'breathtaking sunset views', 'stunning sunset view', 'each room features ocean and sunset views', and 'harbor and sunsets' from lanais and living areas. Amenities such as a 'Sunset Lounge and Bar' further emphasize the building’s orientation to evening views. Evidence spans many different units and agents, reinforcing that Koula/Ko‘ula offers sunset-view residences.
No analysis available
Several public remarks explicitly mention that Friday night fireworks are visible from units/lanai, confirming a fireworks view from the building. This is stated directly in multiple listings.

18 of 20 current MLS listings have the RESMAN amenity checked and historical checkbox data was strongly positive. Several listing remarks explicitly mention an on-site or resident manager (phrases such as "on-site resident manager" and listings noting a manager on property), providing corroborating evidence from multiple agents consistent with the MLS data.
