ESRI Hong Kong moves to Cyberport
20 June, 2002

ESRI Hong Kong Limited (ESRI HK), a US-based company specialising in the technology of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), today (June 20) announced its decision to become a tenant of Cyberport which is an important information infrastructure being developed at Telegraph Bay.

ESRI HK will occupy one floor, with total office area of over 1,800 square metres (some 20,000 sq ft), of Cyberport's Phase 1 building.

The Secretary for Information Technology and Broadcasting, Mrs Carrie Yau, welcomed ESRI HK's decision and said: "The presence of this US-based company at our first Cyberport building is a useful step forward as we start building up an IT cluster at the Cyberport."

ESRI HK is one of the seven companies which have signed up tenancy agreement to move into the newly completed Cyberport Phase I building. ESRI HK together with the other six tenants will take up about 80 per cent of the rental office space in Cyberport's first building.

Mrs Yau noted ESRI HK signed the tenancy agreement last month (May 2002), less than two months after the completion of the Phase I building.

"We are encouraged by the support given by ESRI HK which specialises in GIS. ESRI HK endorses the Cyberport concept and believes that our Cyberport will help the company to push back the frontiers in the GIS technology", she added.

Mrs Yau also noted that ESRI HK preferred Cyberport because it would provide their professional staff with a campus-like environment - similar to that provided by their US headquarters.

"Cyberport is designed to nurture innovation and unleash creative synergy among a cluster of like-minded people," Mrs Yau said.

The Cyberport is a comprehensive development which will help companies - local, overseas and multinational - of different sizes and at different stages of development to flourish. The professional community will enjoy intelligent offices, enormous bandwidth, a wide range of shared IT facilities, a cybercentre providing retail and entertainment facilities and a 5-star deluxe hotel.

The Cyberport will be developed in phases. The first phase building has recently been completed while the remaining phases are under construction. The Cyberport is scheduled for completion in 2004.
