Where to put the air compressor?

So I’m in the process of building a shop and am debating on where I should put my 80 gallon Kobalt vertical compressor. The two options I’m considering are…

1. build a small room off the back of the shop (which would require spending a little more for the concrete, lumber and metal needed) or
2. put it up in the loft/mezzanine, then maybe add a closet around it if needed for noise.

Either way, I plan to either add and automatic drain valve, or plumb an air cooler and water trap in between the pump and tank.
Put it anywhere you want, as long as it's a high volume 220 unit to run impact wrenches and spray guns.

Master Bedroom Closet with exits on each side of the house at the cement slabs. Note the AC unit next to it, that keeps it cool and supplies dry air.
