(starpulse.com ) - Hollywood star-turned-property developer Brad Pitt is planning a new eco-friendly five-star hotel in Dubai.
The actor's Graft architecture company has teamed with local developer Zabeel properties for the project. The resort will have 800 rooms, and Pitt promises it will be socially conscious and environmentally sustainable - following on from his work rebuilding New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
Pitt says, "Whilst acting is my career, architecture is my passion. Selecting this development as my first major construction project has been a simple decision. (The hotel) will underpin not only my values for environmentally-friendly architecture, but also embrace my career in entertainment."
