Parking Options:

There are a few different parking options near the office: 

  • The meters in the immediate area are expensive - 25-cents for every 5 minutes.
  • There is free 2-hour parking in South Park, one block Southwest from the office, but these spaces are not guaranteed.
  • There are a few parking lots in the area that are $10 for the day, but do not have in-and-out privileges.  The lot on Second Street, one block Northwest from the office, under the overpass is $8 a day with in-and-out privileges. 

Once you are inside the building take the elevators to the fourth floor. When you get off the elevators, turn away from the sign listing the suites on the floor and turn right into the hallway.  Our suite is the first door on the left. 

 

The office is also very accessible from the San Jose area via Caltrain.  It is a half a mile walk from the train station. 

From a taxicab, we are located at the cross streets of Bryant and Second.
