Searching for the print shop's "perfect" location

I may have found the "perfect" location for our start up print shop business. Since our target customers will be the MSME's(Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) young family and professionals aged 20 - 34, this location fits the bill. The Cybergate plaza  is home to a handful of residential and office condominiums. I am quite familiar with the place since my Globe Telecom days. The exact location is at 2F One Gateway Place, Cybergate Plaza EDSA corner Pioneer Street Mandaluyong. Someone already had his/her foot on the two first floor spaces. Well the good thing is, there are spaces still available on the 2nd Floor.


Here are the pictures of the site:

I was taking this picture of One Gateway Plaza from the middle of the road. The shop is on the second floor.

This is the photo from the car on the road showing the street level view on the 2nd floor shop.

This is the pedestrian view on one side of the vacant commercial space of One Gateway Place across the road. My brother is taking some pictures of his own.

This is another pedestrian view on the other side of the said commercial space.

This is the exclusive stairway to the vacant 2nd Floor commercial space.

This is how it looks like when you look up while on your way up the stairway.

The view on the left from the inside. The window almost occupied the height of the commercial space.This is where the Cybergate Place 2 and Robinsons Forums are visible.

The view on the right from the inside. This is where the Pioneer Highlands or Globe Telecom Plaza, Cybergate 3 and The Legend Villas Hotel are visible.

What has led me to this location?
The new building projects a fresh image which is very much in sync with the company's projected brand

It is not saturated by competition.

The location has substantial foot traffic.

The location is near its target consumers.

The location is accessible to customers. There is adequate and safe parking space alloted. It is near Boni MRT(Metro Railway Transit) station.

Very accessible to suppliers.

There are at least five office condominiums nearby. 

There are at least three residential condominiums nearby.
There is a nearby courier.

There is a mall nearby.

The area is flood-free.

Mandaluyong has one of the lowest business tax in the metro.

Personally, I like the location for our upcoming print shop business.


How about your business location? Kind enough to tell me why you chose it?
