Kauai, Hawaii’s Tallest Structures Can’t Surpass Palm Trees
Kauai, the eldest of Hawaii’s main islands, boasting an age of over 6 million years, enforces a unique rule: no building can rise higher than a palm tree.
Kauai’s formation dates back to the Pacific Plate’s encounter with a geological hotspot. There are two exceptions to this building height restriction: the pre-existing Kauai Marriott Resort and the historic Princeville Resort.
