(FORTUNE Small Business) – Imagine sipping an iced Cappuccino in a sunny Baghdad café, reviewing your latest marketing report, when a rocket-propelled grenade flies overhead. No worries—it will bounce off the metal-mesh tent that covers you and your fellow infidels. Or so goes the dream of one entrepreneur, who thinks he has the logical solution to the lifestyle woes of a war zone.

Enter the Baghdad Business Park, a planned 25-acre complex providing as many as 10,000 foreign contractors with modular housing, offices, warehouses, and amenities such as a movie theater and an Internet café. Enclosed by concrete walls and a trench, the park will be covered by grenade-repelling mesh. Mastermind of the $47 million project is Brian Lash, CEO of Target Cos., a $30-million-a-year Boston firm specializing in housing, transportation, and logistics for events such as the Athens Olympics. Lash estimates that his fortress Americana could bring in $30 million to $40 million annually—if, that is, it gets off the ground at all. At presstime, Lash was still looking for land and tenants. —JULIE SLOANE
