A blast from the past

How far we have come! I stumbled across this article on Davinci's opening in the Enterprise today: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa5279/is_199805/ai_n24334534/?tag=content;col1. It was 1998, and Sam Souvall and Joe Sasich were preparing to open up 20,000 square feet in the Cottonwood Corporate Center for use as shared office space. The facility would have 54 office spaces, be run by a hospitality-trained staff of 3-6, and be equipped with the latest technology (at the time, video tape recorders, networked white boards, and automatic screens and projectors). The concept would be akin to a five-star hotel for businesses, and cost an estimated $1,200 less than a comparable space on the open market.

In the article, Mr. Souvall stated that he would like to expand around the valley if the concept proved successful. Needless to say, Davinci has exceeded everybody's expectations.
