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.

Searched for explicit percentages or building-level statements about owner-occupancy across all remarks. While some listings reference individual owner-occupied units or encourage owner-occupants, there is no explicit percentage or clear building-level owner-occupancy statement, so the percentage is unknown.
Searched all public remarks for explicit counts or phrases indicating number of elevators. Multiple listings reference 'elevators' and 'express elevators' or 'no stairs to elevators', but no explicit numeric count was provided, so the exact number is unknown.
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.

Strong evidence across the MLS: 18 of 20 current MLS records list CABTV and many agent remarks explicitly state maintenance fees include cable/basic TV (examples: "maintenance fee includes Internet, basic TV & hot water" and "maintenance fee includes internet & basic cable"). Multiple agents/reports repeat this, indicating the feature is building-wide rather than isolated copy-paste errors.
Implied evidence that common-area electricity is covered: 14 of 20 MLS records include OTCOEX and the public remarks repeatedly describe shared, energy-using amenities (security, pool, lighting, recreation deck). While remarks seldom say the literal phrase "common area electricity," the MLS checkbox plus amenity descriptions provide moderate support that common electric is included in maintenance fees.

Clear support that hot water is included: 14 of 20 MLS records list HOTWAT and multiple public remarks explicitly say maintenance fees include hot water (e.g., "Low maintenance fee includes Internet, basic TV & hot water" and similar). No conflicting WTRHTR unit-level data appears in the remarks.
Solid evidence that internet is included: 14 of 20 MLS records list INTSER and numerous agent remarks explicitly reference internet being covered by the maintenance fee, including some that list internet alongside cable and hot water, showing consistent confirmation across multiple listings.
No analysis available
Very strong evidence: all 20 current MLS records list SEWER and multiple public remarks note that maintenance fees include water/sewer. The unanimous MLS checkbox plus corroborating remarks indicate high confidence that sewer is included in the association fees.
Conclusive evidence that water is included: all 20 MLS listings list WATER and many agent remarks explicitly say the maintenance fee includes water (often grouped with sewer, internet, and cable), providing very high confidence that water is covered by the HOA fees.
Very strong evidence: nearly every listing's public remarks mention BBQ/barbecue/grill amenities (e.g., 'BBQ areas', 'BBQ area', 'multiple BBQ grills', 'barbeque stations'). Mentions appear across many different agent remarks and listings (consistent across the dataset), supporting a high-confidence inclusion of BBQ.

Several listings describe a covered, reservable structure used for gatherings: 'recreation pavilion', 'party/meeting room', 'covered pavilion with bathrooms', 'recreation pavilion with kitchen & restrooms', 'party gazebo', and 'pergola for gatherings'. These act as a community clubhouse-style facility where residents can host events. The repeated, detailed descriptions across different listings support treating this as a clubhouse/community center amenity.

Moderately strong evidence: several listings expressly mention meeting/party/entertainment rooms or reservable pavilions/kitchens ('meeting rooms', 'party pavilion', 'reserve party or meeting areas'), cited across multiple listings. Evidence is consistent though not as ubiquitous as BBQ or general recreation areas.
Multiple listings (at least 12 separate public-remarks entries) explicitly mention unit lanais / covered lanais and building-level decks ("recreation deck", "garden deck", "covered lanai", "145 sq. ft. lanai") as well as covered gazebos/pavilions and BBQ areas on the amenity deck. Evidence is consistent across many agents and listing texts (not just a single copy/paste), indicating the building offers both private lanais on some units and shared patio/deck amenity spaces.
Clear evidence: many listings mention scenic walking/jogging paths (e.g., 'walking paths', 'walking/jogging path', 'scenic walking paths along koi ponds'), often tied to the 2.4–2.6 acre park/amenity deck, indicating a reliable building-level jogging/walking path amenity.

Strong evidence: numerous listings mention shared recreation amenities (e.g., 'private recreation deck', 'expansive common area', 'recreation pavilion', 'party/meeting area') and the large on-site park/rec deck is repeatedly described across multiple agents' remarks, supporting a high-confidence true value.

I searched the remarks for "surfboard", "surf", "board storage", "board room", and similar phrases and found no references. There is no evidence in the remarks that surfboard storage is provided.
No analysis available
Mixed evidence: 14 of 20 current MLS listings have the trash-chute/refuse-chute amenity checked in MLS data, but public remarks do not mention trash/garbage chute anywhere. Because MLS checkboxes often reflect true building systems but agents frequently omit/ignore them in remarks, the feature is included with moderate confidence pending direct verification.

Strong, consistent evidence that Kukui Plaza has building pools: 19 of 20 recent MLS listings include the POOL amenity and nearly every public remark references pools. Representative phrases include 'resort-style amenities including a swimming pool', 'heated pool', and 'kids' splash pool', and the mentions appear across multiple agents/listings rather than isolated copy-paste errors.
No analysis available
The pool is referenced frequently (heated, kiddie pool, splash pool), but no remarks indicate it is salt water. I searched for "salt", "saltwater", "salt water", and found no occurrences.
There is strong building-level evidence that some units include in‑unit washers/dryers: at least a dozen listings explicitly state "in‑unit washer and dryer" or "washer and dryer in unit" and several unit descriptions note "only 2 bedrooms have washer/dryers" or "full-size washer/dryer IN UNIT." Multiple agents consistently mention these unit‑specific W/Ds (not agent checkbox copy‑paste), indicating that some units in the building do offer in‑unit laundry.
Strong evidence that Kukui Plaza has shared/community laundry: 18 of 20 MLS listings include COMLAU and numerous public remarks explicitly state phrases like "community laundry on each floor" and "community laundry is located on each floor." Mentions appear consistently across multiple listings/agents (likely some copy‑paste but repeatedly confirmed), indicating a building-level shared laundry amenity.
There is no evidence in the remarks that the community laundry requires payment (coin/card). I searched for terms like "coin", "quarters", "card-operated", "paid laundry", and found none; absence of mention suggests it is not documented as paid.
Public remarks repeatedly and explicitly state community laundry facilities are available on every floor. I searched the entire remarks text for phrases like "every floor", "each floor", and "laundry" and found consistent, direct mentions across many listings.
No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence: historical MLS data (16/20) indicates assigned parking and many current remarks explicitly say 'assigned' or 'reserved' parking stalls across multiple agent listings. Mentions appear consistently across listings and are corroborated by building-level language like 'dedicated/reserved stall' and 'fee simple parking.'
Clear evidence the building offers covered parking: historical MLS (18/20) and repeated remarks across listings mentioning 'covered parking stall', 'garage', or 'covered garage' demonstrate that covered parking is a documented, building-level feature available to units.
Multiple listings describe covered/assigned parking stalls tied to ownership and explicitly call parking "fee simple" or purchased, supporting that parking is deeded/owned with the unit.
No analysis available
Listings mention that monthly public parking is available in the complex but do not specify a fee amount. I searched for terms like "monthly parking fee" and found only that generic mention without a dollar figure.
Moderate evidence: guest parking is mentioned in a subset of listings (MLS shows 7 of 20) with phrases like 'guest parking' and 'plenty of guest parking' appearing in remarks. The evidence is present but not as widespread as assigned/covered/secured parking, so confidence is moderate.
Evidence supports secured-entry parking: although historical SECENT flags were moderate, many current remarks from different listings explicitly state 'secured parking', 'gated parking garage', or 'secured entry/exits', and the building is repeatedly described as 'secured' with 24-hour security—consistent across multiple agents rather than isolated copy/paste.

I reviewed the public remarks for any mention of a parking waitlist and found none. Given the multiple mentions of assigned/fee-simple stalls and purchase of stalls, there is no evidence of a waitlist in the remarks.
No analysis available
The building is well-documented as secured with keyed entry and on-site guards, but there are no explicit mentions of card/fob access or electronic keycard systems in the remarks. I searched for "card", "fob", "key card", "keycard", "fob access" and found no references.
Strong, consistent evidence that Kukui Plaza provides building security: the majority of current listings (approximately 19 of 20) explicitly mention security in remarks—phrases include “24-hour security”, “24/7 security”, and “on-site security guards”. Evidence appears across many agent listings rather than isolated claims, matching prior MLS checkbox data and supporting high confidence that the building offers security guard/service.
Public remarks consistently and explicitly describe robust security including 24-hour/on-site guards and security patrols. I found many direct mentions such as "24-hour security", "24 hr security patrol", and "on-site security guards".

Strong evidence that units at Kukui Plaza have window air conditioning: 18 of 20 recent MLS inclusions list ACWIUN and multiple remarks state phrases like "window AC unit in the living room", "new window A/C", and "new window AC's". Mentions appear across many different listings/agents (not isolated), indicating the feature is widespread in the building.
18 of 20 MLS listings (current dataset) list 'CONCRE' as the construction material and historical processing flagged High confidence. Public remarks do not explicitly say "concrete construction" or "reinforced concrete," but the strong and consistent MLS checkbox usage across multiple agents indicates the building is constructed of concrete. Evidence is strong across many listings rather than a single agent copy/paste.
Double-wall construction appears in 5 of 20 current MLS listings ('DOUWAL'), but none of the public remarks mention "double wall" or "double-wall construction." Historical processing previously flagged this feature High, so it is included here, but evidence is limited to a minority of MLS checkbox entries and lacks corroborating language in agent remarks.
No analysis available
Only 3 of 20 current MLS entries include MASSTU and there are no public-remarks phrases like 'masonry' or 'stucco' in any listing. The evidence for masonry & stucco construction is weak and appears to be isolated MLS checkbox entries rather than corroborated building description.
No analysis available
Only 3 of 20 current MLS entries list 'SLAB' and historical confidence for slab was Low; none of the public remarks mention "concrete slab" or "solid concrete foundation." Given the low historical support and absence of corroborating remarks across listings, slab foundation is unlikely and omitted (treated as a correction of probable agent checkbox error).

Only 4 out of 20 current MLS listings mark above-ground construction, whereas nearly all mark concrete and the building is clearly a concrete high-rise tower. With no supporting mentions in remarks and a strong pattern toward concrete-only descriptions, above-ground construction is not considered a characteristic feature of this building.

I searched the remarks for phrases like "short-term rental", "STR permitted", "vacation rental allowed", "30-day minimum", "TVU/NUC", and found no explicit authorization. Absence of explicit STR language in the public remarks leads to setting str_allowed = false with medium/low confidence.
I searched for terms like "hotel rental pool", "hotel rental program", "managed by hotel", and hotel brand affiliations and found none. Because STR is not indicated as allowed, hotel pool participation is set to false.
I searched for language such as "mandatory hotel pool", "required to participate", or "must be in rental program" and found no evidence. Given no STR authorization and no mention of mandatory pool participation, this is false.

One or more listings explicitly state the sandwich/land lease has an expiry year of 2048. Some other remarks note sellers paying off or cancelling the sandwich lease, but the only explicit year mentioned is 2048, so that year is returned.
Public remarks explicitly reference VA approval and VA-assumable loans in multiple listings, indicating the building/units are VA approved. I used direct quoted text from the remarks to determine this.
Several public remarks explicitly state the building is fully insured or 'fully insured' appears repeatedly across listings, which supports a high-confidence true value for full (walls-in) insurance coverage by the HOA.
No public remarks (0 listings) mention 'fire sprinkler', 'sprinkler system', or similar language. Historical analysis across many listings previously concluded the building lacks a sprinkler system; only 4 of 20 current MLS checkbox entries list FIRSPR, which appears inconsistent with remark text and likely copy/paste errors.
I searched the remarks for explicit language indicating the building has passed a fire/life safety evaluation (FLSE) or related phrasing. No listings contained such statements, so there is no evidence in the public remarks that an FLSE pass has been declared.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Numerous current listing remarks (many entries across the dataset) explicitly advertise ocean/harbor views (e.g., "ocean views", "ocean and harbor views", "glistening ocean beyond"), consistent with prior High-confidence historical evidence. Evidence appears across multiple agents and unit descriptions, indicating ocean-view units exist in the building.
Many listings explicitly reference mountain/mauka/Koolau views (e.g., "mountain and city views", "majestic mountains", "lush mountains"), consistent with prior High-confidence history. Multiple unit descriptions and tower references confirm mountain views are available in the building.
Multiple remarks explicitly call out Diamond Head or the Diamond Head Tower and advertise "Diamond Head views" (several units/tower-specific listings), matching historical evidence. The references are repeated across different listings and agents, indicating Diamond Head-view units are offered.
A large number of current listing remarks explicitly mention city/downtown/cityscape views (e.g., "city views", "panoramic city views", "downtown views"), aligning with prior High-confidence historical data. The evidence appears across many listings and agents, so city-view units are clearly available in the building.
While ocean/harbor and city views are repeatedly mentioned, none of the public remarks use the specific keywords "coastline", "shoreline", or "coastal view." Given the absence of those explicit terms across the listings and no historical confidence for coastline, there is strong evidence to omit the coastline flag.
Multiple listings explicitly describe garden-related features and views: phrases include "lush garden deck", "landscaped garden", "garden courtyard", "park-like grounds", and "views of the recreation deck/garden." These repeated, agent-authored remarks across different listings indicate the building provides garden views and landscaped amenity areas, warranting high confidence.

Several listings explicitly reference sunset or evening/west exposure (examples: "amazing sunset", "you’ll love the amazing sunset, ocean, mountain and city views"). These explicit mentions across multiple unit remarks indicate that sunset views are available in some units.
No analysis available
Listings describe various scenic views (city, ocean, harbor, Diamond Head, sunset) but never mention fireworks or watching fireworks from the lanai/units. I searched for "firework", "fireworks", "watch fireworks", and found no matches.
No analysis available
Multiple recent listings (13 of 20 in MLS checkbox data) explicitly reference on-site/resident management — phrases include 'resident manager', 'on-site management', 'site manager', and 'dedicated resident manager'. Evidence is consistent across many agent remarks and aligns with historical MLS data, indicating the building does have a resident manager on-site.
