An article published by the outlet on March 4, 2018, reported that the Oscar-winning actor agreed to invest in the plan because it was "green-certified." DiCaprio, who is also known for his environmental efforts besides his Hollywood career, said at the time, per The J Post:"Green environmental development is a significant part of building communities that work in partnership with nature and not against it. As we seek to create a future that heads off the most severe effects of climate change, we need projects that push for new developments in environmental design."Leonardo said the "environmentally friendly" hotel was being designed by Rockwell Group founder David Rockwell and was in alignment with the standards of the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). The J Post reported that the Hagag Group requested to expand the hotel's property from 10,000 sq meters to 51,000 sq meters, and it took this long to get final approval. The building will have a total of 365 rooms across its 14 floors. Leonardo DiCaprio has not yet addressed the public criticism over the project.
