Plans call for the campus to open in first quarter 2001,following on the heels of one opening in Orange County, CA. "EitherDenver or New York will be second and third," says James Watson,president. In early 2001, Enfrastructure plans to open a campus inHong Kong, home port for investor Hanny Holdings Ltd., an opticaland storage media maker and distributor. In all, 25 campuses,ranging in size from 150,000 sf to 500,000 sf, are in the firm'slong-range international plan.

Watson founded the company along with Scott Blum, who has tiesto Denver. Blum is the Silicon Valley entrepreneur who foundedbuy.com and Think Tank, an incubator operation.Enfrastructure willoffer services from its financial backers that promise to reducefront-end company costs by as much as 90% and ongoing businessfunctions by 25% to 40%. The realized savings can be applied tocore operations, says Watson. "This is not an incubator although itwill have an incubator component," he told GlobeSt.com. Eventually,the services provided by partnering companies will be outsourced toexisting businesses, says Watson, noting some Fortune 500 firmsalready have expressed interest in the offering.

Aside from computer-related services, Enfrastructure also willprovide brick-and-mortar amenities ranging from dry cleaners tofitness centers.
