Kukui Plaza
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.

I searched for explicit percentages such as "80% owner occupied" and descriptions such as "majority owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied." The remarks contain no building-wide owner-occupancy figure, so this value remains unknown.
I searched for explicit counts such as "4 elevators," "four elevators," or "multiple elevators." The remarks reference elevators but do not state how many the building has, so the number remains unknown.

Cable inclusion is strongly supported across the building, with CABTV present in 19/20 current MLS records. Multiple remarks state that fees include "internet and basic cable," "basic TV cable," or "internet and cable," confirming this is a building-level benefit rather than an isolated listing claim.
Common-area expenses are supported by 12/20 current MLS records. An explicit remark says, "Maintenance fees includes sewer, water, common area expenses and internet and cable," providing direct confirmation, although the feature is not mentioned in as many remarks as water, sewer, or cable.

Hot water inclusion is strongly supported by current MLS data, with HOTWAT listed in 15/20 records and WTRHTR absent from all 20. Multiple remarks explicitly say the low maintenance fee includes "internet, basic TV cable & hot water" or "hot water," confirming building-supplied hot water.
Internet inclusion is repeatedly documented, including “internet and cable are bundled,” “the low maintenance fees cover water, sewer, internet, and cable,” and “low maintenance fee includes internet & basic cable.” The 14/20 MLS rate and consistent explicit remarks make this highly reliable.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is uniformly supported, appearing in 20/20 current MLS records. Remarks directly confirm that maintenance fees include "sewer, water, common area expenses" and other listings consistently describe low-fee utilities, making this a high-confidence building feature.
Water inclusion is uniformly supported across the building, with WATER present in 20/20 current MLS listings. Remarks repeatedly state that maintenance fees include water, including "The low maintenance fees cover water, sewer, internet, and cable," confirming consistent treatment across listings.
BBQ facilities are mentioned across many listings, with phrases such as "BBQ grills," "multiple BBQ grills," "BBQ areas," "barbecue grills," and "BBQ stations." The evidence is widespread across independent remarks and fully consistent with the 20/20 current MLS indication.

Approximately 10 listings mention clubhouse-equivalent facilities, including an "outdoor pavilion," "entertainment pavilion," "covered gazebo," "party pavilion," "meeting room," and gathering spaces. The terminology varies, but these are shared community facilities and align with the historically high-confidence conclusion that the building offers a clubhouse/community-center amenity.
No analysis available
There is no remark evidence that Kukui Plaza has a dog park or dedicated pet area. The isolated checkbox presence in 2 of 20 listings appears unsupported by agent remarks, and multiple listings mention "no pets" or "no pets allowed except service and emotional support animals," so the feature is excluded as likely checkbox error.

Meeting facilities are supported by 13 of 20 current MLS listings and repeated explicit remarks such as “meeting room,” “meeting rooms,” “party/meeting room,” and “reserve party or meeting areas.” The references occur across multiple unit descriptions and identify the amenity as part of the shared recreation facilities.
Numerous current listings explicitly mention Kukui Plaza's shared outdoor spaces, including a "large recreation deck," "expansive private garden deck," "2.6-acre private park," "covered lanai," and "garden deck with BBQ areas." The descriptions are consistent across many listings and clearly refer to common building amenities rather than isolated unit features, confirming that patio/deck amenities remain available.
More than 25 listings mention "walking paths," "walking/jogging path," "jogging path," "walking trails," or scenic paths through the garden and park. References such as "jogging path goes around the park" and "scenic walking/jogging paths" provide strong, detailed confirmation across multiple agents.

More than 20 listings explicitly mention a "recreation deck," "recreation area," "recreation pavilion," "amenity deck," or large private park used for recreation. Repeated references to the 2.6- to 2.7-acre deck, pools, gardens, meeting areas, and water features strongly confirm this shared building amenity.
Evidence for a true recreation room is limited but not absent. Several remarks mention a "meeting room," "party/meeting room," or "recreation w/kitchen," which may be the same shared space, but there are few explicit "recreation room" references and the MLS checkbox appears in only 1/20 listings. This looks like a possible mislabeled or loosely described amenity rather than a universally described feature.

The remarks discuss parking, closets, storage areas, laundry, gardens, pools, and recreation amenities, but none identify a surfboard or board-storage facility. Searches for explicit surfboard-storage terms found no evidence.
No analysis available
The trash chute is explicitly mentioned in at least one listing: the unit is described as being "adjacent to the elevators, trash chute." Most other remarks focus on broader amenities rather than service infrastructure, but the 19/20 current MLS indication and high historical confidence strongly confirm this feature.

Pool access is confirmed across a very large number of listings, with well over 20 remarks explicitly mentioning a swimming pool or related facility. Multiple independent descriptions refer to shared building amenities such as a heated pool, large pool, splash/kiddie/wading pools, and resort-style pool, making the evidence strong and consistent rather than a single copy-pasted claim.
Multiple unit public remarks explicitly state the building offers a 'heated pool' or 'heated swimming pool' (phrases quoted in listings include 'heated pool' and 'heated swimming pool'). Although the MLS amenities checkbox currently shows HEAPOO in only 1/20 listings, the heated-pool language appears in numerous agent remarks across the dataset, indicating the building amenity is heated. Evidence is consistent across many listings (likely copy/pasted among agents) and is strong enough to mark pool_heated = true.
The building pool amenities are well documented, including heated and children's pools. Searches for "salt water pool," "saltwater pool," "salt pool," and "saline pool" found no mentions, so there is no public-remark evidence that the pool is salt water.
In-unit laundry is confirmed for some Kukui Plaza units, with at least 7 of 20 current listings indicating washer/dryer inclusions and numerous remarks explicitly mentioning the feature. Key examples include "washer and dryer in unit," "in-unit washer and dryer," and "this unit has a washer & dryer inside while most other units do not"; the evidence appears across multiple listings and agents rather than being solely a checkbox artifact.
Community laundry is overwhelmingly validated across the building: well over 15 listings explicitly mention laundry facilities, most commonly stating that community laundry is available on every floor or that each floor has washers and dryers. The evidence is consistent across numerous agents and listings, including remarks clarifying that units with in-unit laundry are exceptions and that other units use the community laundry.
The remarks clearly identify community laundry as coin-operated, establishing that payment is required. Multiple listings also confirm community laundry on every floor, although the coin-operated detail is the direct evidence for this feature.
Numerous listings explicitly confirm floor-by-floor community laundry facilities. Several also specify two washers and two dryers on each floor.
Parking is strongly validated across numerous independent listings, with well over 20 remarks explicitly mentioning assigned, covered, secured, or garage parking. Examples include "your covered parking stall," "one assigned parking stall," "covered parking in a gated parking garage," and "2 PARKING STALLS." The evidence is consistent with the historical high-confidence assessment and is not limited to apparent copy-paste language.
Assigned parking is mentioned in many listings, including "one assigned covered parking stall," "one assigned parking stall," "assigned parking space (#3385)," and "reserved standard full size parking stall." The evidence is widespread across multiple agents and is consistent with the strong current MLS checkbox support.
Covered parking is strongly supported across many listings from multiple agents, with repeated phrases including "one assigned covered parking stall," "secure covered parking," "full size covered parking," and "covered parking garage." The consistency between the current MLS data and independent public remarks makes this a high-confidence building feature.
Public remarks consistently indicate that parking stalls are assigned and conveyed with units. Explicit references to fee-simple parking and included parking strongly support deeded or owned parking.
No analysis available
Public and rentable parking are mentioned, indicating that some parking may require a recurring payment. However, no specific monthly parking fee is stated, so the amount is unknown.
Guest parking is supported by multiple independent remarks, although it appears less frequently than assigned or covered parking. Explicit examples include "guest parking" and "plenty of guest parking," confirming that the building offers guest spaces.
Secured parking access is repeatedly documented across multiple listings, with remarks stating "gated parking," "secure parking and entry," "secured garage," "secured parking and secured entry/exits," and parking entrances with gates or direct secured lobby access. The repeated, specific references align with the current MLS checkbox data and support including this feature.

The remarks frequently describe assigned, covered, secured, guest, public, and rentable parking. They do not describe any building parking waitlist system, so there is no evidence that a waitlist exists.
No analysis available
The remarks strongly establish building security through 24-hour security, secured entry, and one reference to "keyed building and elevator entry." However, keyed access is not evidence of a card- or fob-based system, and searches for card/fob access terminology found no explicit mention.
Security service is strongly supported across the building: 20/20 current listings have the SECGUA amenity, while numerous listings explicitly mention phrases such as “24-hour security,” “24/7 security,” “on-site security guards,” “24-hour security patrol with video,” and “on-site security team.” The consistency across many listings and agents confirms this is a building-level amenity rather than an isolated or copied claim.
Multiple listings explicitly identify security patrol service, including patrol with video. Other remarks also reference on-site security teams and 24-hour security service.

Window air conditioning is strongly supported across the building: 20 of 20 current listings include ACWIUN, and numerous remarks explicitly mention "window AC," "window AC unit," "new window A/C," or "new window AC units." The evidence appears across multiple units, towers, and agents, so it is not merely an isolated or unsupported checkbox.
All 20 listings code the building as CONCRE in the construction materials. Although the public remarks do not explicitly use phrases such as “concrete construction,” the complete consistency across listings provides very strong building-level evidence rather than an isolated agent entry.
Six of 20 current listings identify DOUWAL in the construction materials, consistent with the previously high-confidence feature, though coverage is limited. No public remarks explicitly mention “double wall” or related wording, suggesting the evidence may reflect repeated MLS checkbox data rather than independently described construction.
No analysis available
Six of 20 current listings identify MASSTU in the construction materials. No supplied remarks explicitly say “masonry,” “stucco,” or “masonry and stucco,” so the evidence is primarily repeated MLS coding; however, it is consistent with the prior high-confidence assessment.
Only 1 of 20 listings identifies STEFRA, and none of the supplied remarks mention a steel frame. The isolated checkbox entry is likely unverified copy-paste or an agent coding error rather than reliable building-wide evidence.
Two of 20 current listings code SLAB in the construction materials, and none of the reviewed remarks explicitly mention a concrete slab or solid concrete foundation. Despite limited current coding, the prior high-confidence determination supports retaining the building-level feature absent overwhelming evidence of a change.

Three of 20 listings identify ABOGRO, while several remarks describe the high-rise building and elevated amenities, including "above ground gardens and pool" and recreation decks on upper levels. The evidence is moderately supportive but not uniformly coded or explicitly tied to the building's construction materials.

The listings describe Kukui Plaza as a residential condominium and mention tenant occupancy, investors, and vacation-home use, but do not explicitly permit short-term rentals. No qualifying STR language or certificate is present in the public remarks.
The pool references are to recreational amenities for residents, not hotel rental operations. Because short-term rental permission is not established, the prerequisite for a hotel rental pool is also not met.
The listings provide no evidence of any hotel rental pool, much less mandatory participation. The prerequisite that STR and hotel-pool participation be allowed is not met, so this feature is false.

The specific lease expiration year is consistently identified as 2048. Other listings mention the sandwich lease being paid off, purchased, canceled, or converted to fee simple, but no later specific expiration year is provided.
The remarks provide repeated, explicit building-level evidence that Kukui Plaza is VA approved and supports VA financing or assumable VA loans. This is high-confidence evidence across multiple listings.
The remarks repeatedly and explicitly describe the building as fully insured. This consistent evidence strongly supports that the HOA provides full building insurance coverage.
0 of 20 listings mention fire sprinklers, sprinkler systems, sprinkler installation, or fire suppression. The feature appears in only 5/20 MLS amenity records without supporting remarks, so the checkbox evidence is likely copy-paste or unverified; this is a correction to omit the feature.
I searched for references to FLSE approval, fire/life safety evaluation passage, fire safety certification, life safety compliance, and passed fire inspection. None were found; mentions that the building is "fully insured" or secured do not establish FLSE passage.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Ocean views are strongly supported across the building. Multiple remarks explicitly say “ocean views,” “ocean and mountain views,” “peekaboo ocean view,” and “out toward the ocean,” showing this is not a one-off agent copy. The current MLS data also supports this with 11/20 listings flagged OCEAN.
Mountain views are strongly validated across multiple listings and agents: 10 of 20 current MLS listings contain mountain indicators, while remarks explicitly mention "mountain views," "majestic mountains," "mountain peaks," and Diamond Head/Punchbowl views. The repeated references across varied units indicate a genuine building feature rather than a single agent's copied description.
Diamond Head views are documented in several remarks, including “peekaboo views of Diamond Head,” “sweeping Diamond Head views,” and “faces towards Diamond Head.” The evidence is strongest for units in the Diamond Head Tower, but the feature is clearly offered in the building. Remarks vary by agent wording, which supports genuine building/unit variation rather than a single copied description.
City views are overwhelmingly confirmed: 19 of 20 current MLS listings contain CITY indicators, with numerous remarks explicitly stating "city views," "panoramic city views," "sweeping city views," and views of the Honolulu skyline. Evidence is consistent across many units and agents, confirming that the building offers city-view residences.
Coastline views are explicitly supported in a smaller set of listings. The clearest evidence is the remark describing “spectacular New Year’s Eve fireworks along the coastline,” which directly confirms coastal exposure, and other remarks referencing ocean/harbor/coastal vistas. The MLS data is limited but aligned, with 3/20 listings flagging COASTL.
Garden-related views/features are clearly present in the building, though not in as many listings as city or mountain views. Current remarks repeatedly refer to 'garden deck,' 'lush garden courtyards,' 'landscaped gardens,' and even 'garden views,' supported by the MLS view tags in several units. This looks like a real and recurring building amenity/view context.

Sunrise views are less common than city or garden views, but they are explicitly mentioned in the current remarks. Examples include “spectacular sunrise view” and “from sunrise to sunset,” plus an east-facing unit with “gentle morning light,” giving strong enough evidence to include the feature.
Sunset views are supported by multiple explicit listing remarks, including “stunning city, ocean, and sunset views” and “you’ll love the amazing sunset.” While fewer than city/ocean, the evidence appears consistent across several listings rather than a single isolated claim. The current MLS data also shows 4/20 SUNSET entries, reinforcing that some units do have this feature.
No analysis available
A listing directly associates the residence's panoramic views with spectacular New Year's Eve fireworks along the coastline. This supports fireworks being visible from the unit.
No analysis available
Approximately 8 listings explicitly mention the feature, using phrases such as "resident manager," "onsite management," "on-site management," and "dedicated resident manager." This aligns with the current MLS data showing RESMAN in 14 of 20 listings and the previously high-confidence building record, with confirmations appearing across multiple distinct remarks rather than only generic copied amenity language.
