Hello,

I am a Real Estate Developer so I'm not sure where to direct this question. I own a 150-year-old knitting mill in Phoenixville PA, about 35 minutes outside Philadelphia. It's built like Fort Knox. Part of my business as a developer and homebuilder is I install home automation equipment, mostly lighting control systems. One section of the building I'm putting in a design center. It will have a mock automated home, an architect, a cabinetmaker and an art gallery with a small coffee shop. For the mock automated home I am working with the local phone Co. to have fiber brought into the building. The building will be networked and comes with a large high tech conference room and state-of-the-art security. The goal I'm striving for is ahistorical exterior and a high tech interior. It leaves a whole separate building of 4 floors at 5800 sq./ft each. A friend thought it could be great space for a computer or a .com co.

Could you post this question for insight or do you have any ideas where I should

Linking technology for the future is a challenge. You will be closer to your goal when you spend more time identifying yours and your customers (future tenants) requirements.
Requirements will lead to specifications and then you can go out for quotes. There are architects out there that are specializing in the needs for technology. You live near a big city and that shouldn't be a problem Just don't talk to anyone that wants to provide you with the final solution. They will only sell youtheir products and their ideas to promote themselves.
