"The main criteria for evaluating office space
Location and proximity to transportation: Give serious consideration to the ease of commuting for you, your partners and employees between office and home. Proximity to major transportation hubs (domestic and international) is also a factor in the marketing and capital raising process.

Your space requirements: Take into account views, layout, quality and appearance beyond practical needs (a reception area, conference room, equipment storage room, elevators, etc). The quality and appearance of your office and building will affect your fund’s outward image.
