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.
Based on MLS data, Koula offers a range of on-site amenities including a pool, fitness center, BBQ area, and staffed services such as a resident manager, concierge, and security guard. Units are served by central air conditioning and the property reports ocean, mountain, and sunset views.
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 the remarks for owner-occupancy indicators, including exact percentages and qualitative phrases such as "highly owner occupied" or "majority owner occupied." Nothing in the public remarks gives a reliable ownership-occupancy percentage, so this remains unknown.
The public remarks directly confirm the building has six passenger elevators, with two additional service elevators mentioned in one listing. This is strong, explicit evidence, so the current value is retained with very high confidence.
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.
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.
Cable TV appears to be included at the building level. Current MLS data shows CABTV checked in 17 of 20 listings, which is strong and consistent across the building. No remarks suggest otherwise, so this looks like a stable shared fee inclusion rather than copy-paste noise.
Common-area electricity is moderately supported. The current MLS data shows OTCOEX in 12 of 20 listings, and many remarks reference large shared amenity spaces, pools, lounges, gyms, and other building-wide facilities. The evidence is suggestive rather than explicit, but enough to keep the feature included.

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.
Hot water is not supported as a building-level inclusion. The current MLS pattern is overwhelmingly opposite, with WTRHTR present in 19 of 20 listings and HOTWAT in only 1 of 20. The remarks do not provide any explicit hot-water-included evidence, so this is best treated as false.
Internet service appears to be a consistent building-level inclusion. Current MLS data shows INTSER checked in 19 of 20 listings, which is about as strong as it gets for a fee-included amenity. The public remarks do not mention it explicitly, but the MLS evidence is decisive.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is strongly supported by the current MLS data. Nineteen of 20 listings check SEWER, so this appears to be a standard building-level fee inclusion. The remarks are silent, but the checkbox evidence is overwhelmingly consistent.
Water inclusion is one of the strongest building-level features. Current MLS data shows WATER in 19 of 20 listings, indicating this is highly consistent across the building. The remarks do not directly address it, but the MLS data is clear enough to rely on.
BBQ/grilling facilities are clearly present at the building level. Dozens of remarks mention 'BBQ pavilions,' 'BBQ cabanas,' 'grilling pavilions,' and similar wording, indicating broad agreement across listings and agents.

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.
Clubhouse-style shared space is supported by at least one explicit reference to a "Club House" plus multiple mentions of common rooms and gathering spaces. The evidence is less uniform than the core amenities, but it still points to a building-level clubhouse/common area.
Concierge service is explicitly supported in the public remarks, including direct mentions of "concierge" and "24/7 security and concierge service." While fewer listings mention it than security, the repeated explicit references across different remarks make the feature credible at the building level.
The dog park/pet area is strongly confirmed by many listings that directly say "dog park." Multiple agents mention it in similar language, making this a clear shared building amenity.
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/fitness amenities are consistently confirmed across the remarks. Multiple listings explicitly say 'fitness center,' 'exercise room,' 'world class Fitness Gym,' and 'indoor/outdoor fitness centers,' so this is strong building-level evidence rather than a one-off unit feature.
No analysis available
Meeting-room functionality is supported by both MLS history and multiple remark variants. Some listings call them 'meeting rooms,' while others describe 'private meetings or get together' spaces or 'common room/spaces,' indicating the same shared amenity.
Strong, repeated evidence that Ko'ula/Koula offers patio/deck-style outdoor space. Across the remarks, many listings mention "lanai" or multiple lanais, plus shared outdoor areas like the "amenity deck," "Grand Lanai," poolside cabanas, BBQ pavilions, and an open-air lobby. This is consistent across numerous listings and appears to be a genuine building feature rather than a single-agent error.
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.

No analysis available
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.
A shared recreation/amenity area is strongly evidenced in the remarks. Listings consistently refer to the 'recreation deck,' 'amenity deck,' 'Grand Lanai,' and expansive outdoor spaces, which aligns with the MLS data.
Recreation-room-type spaces are well supported, though described under several names. Remarks mention 'party rooms,' 'event rooms,' 'Grand Room,' 'Great Room,' and even 'recreation lounge with billiard table,' showing consistent amenity descriptions across listings.
Restaurant/dining amenities appear to exist, though less consistently than the core recreation features. Several listings explicitly cite a 'Dean & DeLuca café' and other ground-floor dining options, which is strong enough to retain the feature.
No analysis available
Sauna is strongly corroborated across many listings. Remarks include 'sauna rooms,' 'dry sauna,' and 'steam showers,' indicating a consistent wellness amenity at the building level.
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.
The listings directly confirm dedicated surfboard storage facilities. This feature appears explicitly, so the evidence is clear and highly reliable.
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 remains supported by the MLS history even though remarks rarely mention it directly. With unanimous historical data and no contrary evidence, this should stay true.

Whirlpool/hot tub/spa amenities are very strongly confirmed. The remarks repeatedly use 'Jacuzzis,' 'hot tubs,' 'spas,' and 'whirlpools,' often in plural, making this one of the clearest features in the building.
Evidence is overwhelming that Ko‘ula has a shared pool amenity. Across dozens of current remarks, the feature is mentioned repeatedly by many different listings and agents, often with specific details such as 'lap pool,' 'heated lap pool,' 'infinity pool,' and 'pool deck with cabanas,' which strongly suggests this is not mere copy-paste noise.
There is strong building-level evidence that the pool is heated. Current remarks explicitly call out a "heated lap pool" and "heated pool" in multiple listings, while other listings reference the same pool amenities in a consistent resort-style description. The repetition across listings supports this as a real feature rather than marketing copy drift.
I searched for explicit salt-pool wording such as "salt water pool," "saltwater pool," or "saline pool." The remarks mention pools, lap pools, spas, and jacuzzis, but nothing confirms the pool is salt water.
Laundry in unit is very strongly supported across the listings. Many current remarks explicitly mention in-unit laundry, including phrases like "washer and dryer in unit," "Miele washer & dryer in unit," and "washer/dryer in the unit," indicating this is a consistent building feature rather than a one-off copy-paste error. The evidence is broad across multiple listings and agents, matching the current MLS inclusions with washer/dryer in all listings.
No analysis available
I looked for evidence of shared laundry that requires payment, such as coin laundry, coin-op, card-operated machines, or laundry fees. The public remarks do not mention any community laundry system at all, much less a paid one.
I searched for explicit references such as "laundry on every floor," "laundry room on each floor," or similar floor-specific community laundry wording. The remarks only mention in-unit washer/dryer or laundry appliances, not shared laundry facilities on every floor.
No analysis available
Assigned parking is strongly supported across the building. Public remarks repeatedly reference "assigned parking stall," "one assigned parking space," "deeded parking stall," and parking that is "near the elevator" or on the same floor, showing this is not a one-off mention. Evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to be standard building-level copy rather than isolated agent comments.
Covered parking is overwhelmingly supported. Multiple listings explicitly mention "covered parking," "weather protected parking," "covered side-by-side parking stalls," and parking on a garage/lobby level, which aligns with the MLS data. The consistency across listings suggests a building feature rather than unit-specific copy-paste.
The remarks explicitly describe a deeded parking stall, which indicates ownership with the unit. Other listings also mention assigned, covered, or full-size stalls, but the deeded reference is the key evidence.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for phrases like parking fee, monthly parking charge, parking rental, or extra stall cost. Nothing in the listings indicates a recurring parking fee, so this remains unknown.
Guest parking is well supported by the remarks and historical MLS data. Listings reference "22 guest stalls," "ampl[e] guest parking," and "guest parking available," with several agents independently mentioning it. This appears to be a genuine building amenity rather than a checkbox artifact.
Secured entry for parking is supported, though the wording is less uniform than for assigned or covered parking. Remarks mention "secured parking stall," "secure parking," and "secured building entries," along with security/concierge/patrol references that reinforce controlled access conditions.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for terms such as parking waitlist, waiting list, or join the waitlist for parking. No listing text suggests a waitlist system, so this is not supported by the remarks.
No analysis available
There is strong evidence of card/fob-style electronic access security, including Latch app access and electronic door locks. The building is also described as having secured entries, which supports controlled access.
Security service is strongly supported across the building, with many listings explicitly mentioning "24-hr security," "24/7 security," "security guard," or courtesy patrols. The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and is reinforced by the MLS history (17/20 listings showing SECGUA), so this feature should be included with very high confidence.
The public remarks directly reference security patrol service in multiple listings. This is strong confirmation that the building/community has patrol-based security.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is strongly supported for this building. At least several current listings explicitly mention "central AC" or "central air-conditioning," and the MLS history is nearly unanimous (18/20 unit features, 19/20 inclusions). The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listing types, so this should be treated as a building feature.
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.
No analysis available
Concrete construction is strongly supported at the building level. The current MLS checkbox evidence is near-unanimous at 19 of 20 listings, and the remarks consistently describe Koula/Ko'ula as a new high-rise tower with structural design elements, which aligns with concrete construction. There is no meaningful contrary evidence in the remarks, and the pattern appears to reflect building-level facts rather than copy-paste error.
Double-wall construction is supported by a solid majority of current MLS listings. The public remarks do not explicitly mention 'double wall' or related wording, but the 15 of 20 current MLS markings indicate this is likely a true building feature rather than an agent copy-paste anomaly. No contrary evidence in the remarks suggests otherwise.
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.
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 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.
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.
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).
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.
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
The public remarks directly prohibit short-term rentals in the building. That is strong building-level evidence that STRs are not allowed.
Because short-term rentals are prohibited, a hotel rental pool is not applicable here. I also found no mentions of Hilton, Ritz, Trump, or any similar hotel pool arrangement.
The building does not allow short-term rentals, so mandatory hotel pool participation is unsupported. I found no evidence of any required rental program or hotel-managed pool.

The public remarks provide a specific lease-end year, which matches the requested field. I used the explicit 2026 reference from the listing remarks.
Public remarks directly confirm VA loan approval for the building. Multiple listings repeat this with no conflicting evidence, so confidence is very high.
The remarks repeatedly and explicitly state that the building is fully insured. This is strong direct evidence consistent with walls-in or comprehensive HOA coverage, so the feature is marked true with very high confidence.
Fire sprinklers are strongly supported as a building feature. The current MLS data shows FIRSPR in 19 of 20 listings, and at least one public remark explicitly lists "fire sprinklers" among the building amenities. The evidence is consistent across the building record and appears to reflect the same shared building system rather than a copy-paste anomaly.
I searched the remarks for direct fire/life safety evaluation language such as FLSE passed, fire safety certified, life safety compliant, and passed fire inspection. I did find a mention of fire sprinklers in one listing, but that is not evidence of a passed fire/life safety evaluation, so this remains unconfirmed and is set to false by absence of evidence.

Ocean views are strongly established for Koula. Dozens of current remarks mention phrases like “ocean views,” “Pacific Ocean views,” “wake up to the ocean,” and “ocean view will remain,” showing this is a building-level feature offered in many units. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and appears to be genuinely marketed, not just copy-paste checkbox data.
Mountain views are clearly present in Koula, though not every unit has them. The remarks include many direct references such as "mountain views," "Diamond Head," and "mauka to makai," showing recurring support across listings. This appears to be a real building offering rather than an isolated mischeck.
Diamond Head views are clearly supported at Koula. Current remarks include “Diamond Head anchors the horizon,” “Diamond Head facing,” “views of Diamond Head,” and “Diamond Head and ocean views,” across many different listings and stacks. This looks like a real and recurring building feature rather than an isolated unit upgrade.
City views are very well supported for Koula. Listings mention “city skyline,” “Honolulu city lights,” “city views,” and “urban setting,” indicating that many units in the building offer this view type. The repeated language across multiple agents suggests this is not a one-off description.
Coastline views are supported at Koula. Several remarks directly reference “coastline,” including “Waikiki coastline,” “coastline and city views,” and similar ocean-edge framing. The view is not universal, but it appears often enough to treat coastline as an available building feature.
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
Marina/harbor views are consistently documented in the remarks. Listings mention "marina," "harbor," "Kewalo Basin Harbor," "yacht harbor," and similar wording across multiple stacks. This is strong evidence that Koula offers marina/harbor view units.
Sunrise views or sunrise-adjacent exposure are supported, though less broadly than ocean or Diamond Head. Remarks include “morning light,” “wake up,” “sunrise,” and “eastern” style language in multiple listings, suggesting some units do market this feature. Evidence is real but not as pervasive as the other views.
Sunset views are clearly marketed in Koula and appear across many listings. The remarks include direct phrases like "sunsets," "sunset views," "watch amazing sunsets," and even "Friday night Fireworks," supporting a real and recurring sunset-view offering. Evidence is strong across multiple agents and not limited to one or two copy-pasted descriptions.
No analysis available
The remarks explicitly say residents can enjoy "Friday night Fireworks" and describe views from the unit that include the fireworks. This is direct view-based evidence, not just proximity to a fireworks location.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Resident manager is strongly supported as a building feature. Historical MLS data shows RESMAN in 18 of 20 listings, and current remarks explicitly mention an "on-site resident manager" at least once, with the rest of the remarks broadly consistent with a well-managed tower. The evidence appears to be persistent across listings rather than a copy-paste anomaly, so this should remain included.
