Starwood Plans Real Estate in Fort Lauderdale

With the threat of global warming on people’s minds, some hotels are taking the environment into consideration.

Starwood Capital Group is gearing up to build environmentally friendly hotels in Fort Lauderdale and other cities in the US and Europe.

The real estate firm created a new brand of resorts called “1” Hotel and Residences. Its main focus is conserving energy, water, and reducing solid waste, all of which adhere to the principles of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, known as LEED. Guests in these “1” hotels will still enjoy the services and comforts from a high class resort.

A new green hotel will be a part Fort Lauderdale real estate sometime in 2008. Starwood will also build properties in Seattle, Mammoth Mountain, CA, Scottsdale, AZ and Paris.
