I was quite shocked to be reading this as it is something I had thought of many years ago and I believe I have even entered this on my personal blog to 'make further notes on'... as I have my own business as a technical consultant, knowing the burn out factor of my job is high, I try to get away for a 'change of atmosphere and scenery' which could include a simple time-share idea to the constant repair of computers...simply in a different place.

It sounds like your idea has to do with 'time sharing' of tech jobs. That is completely different from what I am proposing - a residential condo building for people who operate their internet businesses from home.

Not nowadays anyways. normal Broadband internet is just too pervasive to make that a marketable amenitiy.

Now, you could research and find out what amenities such a person would want, bit IMO, you would be better off broadening your market base by not focusing on amenities for the tech crowd.

Looking at the bigger picture, the market for such a condo isn't necessarily a tech type person, but a work at home professional that runs their own business.

A T1 connection - usually a requisite to run a home internet based business - costs 1200 a month in my area, quite a lot more than standard residential cable broadband service. This is as much as a mortgage payment.

I know such a condo in Houston, TX. One of my friend's friends had an apartment there. I am forgetting its name. It is a complex next at Northwest of Westhiemer and Beltway 8 crossing. It was an old complex and owner ingeniously transformed into geeks heaven, with T1 lines in each apartment.
