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

While my company is looking to relocate, just not in the PA area, I may have a few suggestions for you. If the floors in the other building are 5800 sq. ft., you may want to have separate companies in each floor. The problem with that is is there an area on each floor for the wiring closet(s) for the network wiring? If you follow the TIA/EIA 568A specs for the designs, it would help any company coming into your facility. That way all wiring is complete an all a company really needs to do issetup their computers. Ideally though, you would want to taylor the wiring around each company if you were needing to do an upfit for each floor. Just a few thoughts for you, hope they may help.
