Will she run? While we still don't know the official answer, we at least know where Hillary Clinton will go.

Clinton has reportedly signed a lease for a new campaign headquarters in Brooklyn, according to reports in Politico and MSNBC. Her new address is in a building that markets itself with the tagline "Brooklyn Cool."

Located at a busy intersection in downtown Brooklyn, the building at 1 Pierrepont Plaza offers a host of desirable campaign amenities. There's a three-level parking garage for stealthy arrivals and exits, security cameras positioned at "strategic points," proximity to 12 subway lines, a 24-hour attended lobby with card turnstyle access and "state-of-the-art life safety systems," according to its website.

The building's incentives also boast a commercial rent tax abatement, meaning tenants pay no commercial rent tax (compared to 3.9% in Manhattan) -- though it's unclear if the Clinton campaign would get that benefit.

Her new neighbors include U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch and Morgan Stanley offices.

The campaign clock is now ticking for Clinton. FEC rules require that candidates have 15 days once they start "conducting campaign activities" -- like signing a lease, for example -- before they are must publicly file a campaign committee.
