Skyway Mall JV Launches Skycloud, “Reinventing the world of work”

Skycloud(tm) & Skyway Mall plans to change the way Florideans work. Skyway Mall a new
technology and real estate joint venture has re-emerged from the ashes of the old Maxi Mall,
which was plagued with crime and urban blight, shootings, etc.

Now, Mr. Kim, a Korean retail and real estate entrepreneur and Mr. Ayyar, a former street
pedder turned entrepreneur & early stage investor have formed Skycloud(tm), a Joint Venture
that has acquired the assets of the old Maxi Mall and decided to convert it into a next generation
workplace that includes a Coworking space, Yoga Studio, Recreational space, Food Court, DIY
Auto Garage and Fair Trade Marketplace. Imagine a new ecosystem that is custom tailored for
the new economy of freelancers, designers and entrepreneurs. Setth Godin and Steve Jobs
would fit right in at Skycloud!

The total development is roughly 200,000 square feet of space, including the parking lot and
dock areas, and has cost more than a million dollars. What makes this story unusual is that
both principals are Immigrants who have been intreprid enough not to give up in the face of
adversity. Both cofounders have at one time been destitute, living out of their cars and the
streets of Chicago in winter, under most adverse conditions.

Skycloud is located in the Inner City area of St. Petersburg, where Internet access is still a
privilege and co-working spaces are unheard of. Blocks away, a McDonalds has a sign for Free
WiFi, but it barely works. Skycloud which intends to help in the transformation of the area plans
to establish a nextgen Training Facility that will provide advanced skills training in Software
development, Healthcare Informatics, Mobile Applications, Cloud Computing, Sales Force
Automation, LEEDS/PMP Certifcation, etc.

Skycloud has established partnerships with urban newspapers, nonprofits interested in green
development and renewal projects and the principals are looking for media explosure as well
as new partnerships that can help them achieve their goals of achieving collective prosperity for
people in “Inner City” (ie. blighted neighborhoods).
According to co-founder Kal Ayyar, who has successfully made the transformation from street
peddler in Chicago, where he sold “Newports”, newspapers and bottled water on the streets
to selling space, cars and technology, “Its a lot easier when you have the infrastructure and a
3,000 SF office than when you are trying to work out of a shelter!”
