Entrance to our partner's new offices.

Waiting area in our partner's new offices.

Decor and furnishings for our partner's new offices. Note that the drop ceiling has been removed. Our space should match or exceed this quality in order to position JV as a premium workplace vis a vis our partner.

This is the route, outlined in red, from an apartment building with available apartments to our partner's office building. The walk takes about two minutes. The location of the available 450 square meters is outlined in red.

We can either lease an apartment in this building through an agent or directly from owners. The building management office will pass us the names of those owners whose apartments they know are available. But there is greater supply at comparable prices through agents, such as Hualiang.

The building management tells me that there are two 104 square meter, one-bedroom apartments side by side available on the 23rd floor. They were unable to contact the owner, however, to show them to me.

Note prices for various available sizes quoted above by Hualiang agent Song Xiao Yan. Their office is adjacent to the apartment building's entrance.
