Bill Clinton
“I‘ve worked on the issue of green building for 30 years and have toured LEED-certified facilities all over the world. In 2007, my Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas was the first federally maintained facility to receive Platinum LEED certification, and I worked to green the white house while I was President. Therefore, given my firsthand knowledge of the benefits of green building, I can attest that Shangri-La is leading the way in cost-conscious sustainable construction.”
- Former President Bill Clinton, Founder, William J. Clinton Foundation, Clinton Global Initiative
Rick Fedrizzi
“Shangri-La is redefining the green building sector with an emphasis on cost efficiency through true partnership and collaboration that yields the best combination of sustainable features, design aesthetics and operational savings.”

Loren Witkin
“Shangri-La recently completed our LEED Platinum headquarters. I couldn‘t have been more satisfied with the building process and the end product. As Owners, we tend to focus on the end product, but it‘s the path to that final destination that can be so trying and consuming. Shangri-La‘s commitment to partnership and craftsman-like work made the process truly easy. Their knowledge of LEED and sustainable development allowed us to take our office from Silver to Platinum with little to no extra cost. That was certainly an unexpected added value. We look forward to partnering with Shangri-La on our next project.”
