The rebirth of the Coco Palms Resort came one step closer to becoming a reality after Kauai County officials on Wednesday released the first set of permits needed to begin demolition. The $135 million dollar project will renovate the infamous hotel, adding 277 hotel rooms and 77 suites.
The state Historic Preservation Division this week officially verified that the Honolulu-based group of investors who will purchase and redevelop the Coco Palms Resort, Coco Palms Hui LLC, satisfied all of their requirements, paving the way for building and demolition permits to be released to the group. The demolition is expected to last between 4-6 months.
