For a property owner or manager, signs do two jobs: they help tenants, visitors and residents find their way, and they make the property look well cared for, which helps lease space. The Sign Factory designs, permits, fabricates and installs signage for office parks, multi-tenant buildings, retail centers, apartment communities and HOAs in Charlotte, NC and across the Carolinas.
Property Signs We Design and Install
- Entrance monument signs: property identification at the main entrance, including multi-tenant monuments with changeable panels.
- Post and panel signs: building numbers, directional signs, parking and leasing signs throughout the property.
- Building and tenant signs: building names and tenant signs that follow your sign criteria.
- Lobby directories: tenant directories with updatable inserts. See the types of office building directory signs.
- ADA and suite signs: compliant suite, restroom and room signs for common areas.
- Leasing and availability signs: signs that advertise available space to the people who already drive by.
- Apartment and HOA signs: community entrance signs, amenity signs, pool and parking signs.
Signs That Make Leasing Easier
A property with worn, mismatched or missing signs looks neglected, and prospective tenants notice. A consistent sign family, from the entrance monument to the suite numbers, makes a property look managed and makes it easier for every tenant's customers to find them. Read options for commercial real estate signs in Charlotte and what every property manager should know before fabrication.
Tenant Sign Criteria and Changeovers
We can help you write or update sign criteria for your property so every tenant sign fits the building, and we work with incoming tenants to design signs that meet those criteria. Multi-tenant monuments and directories are built with panels that can be swapped as tenants change, so a new tenant means a new panel, not a new sign. Read about tenant monument signs.
Apartment Communities and HOAs
Apartment communities and neighborhoods need entrance signs that set the tone for residents and visitors, plus clear signs for leasing offices, amenities, building numbers and parking. Sandblasted and masonry signs suit many communities. Read about sandblasted monument signs for apartment communities. When an older sign needs attention, repair and refurbishing is often the best value, as it was for the entrance sign at the Sharon Manor senior community.
Office Parks and Business Centers
In office parks, visitors need to find the right building and the right suite quickly. An entrance monument with the park name, building numbers that can be read from the road, directional signs at each turn and a directory in each lobby make that easy. For secondary entrances and smaller buildings, post and panel signs often do the job of a monument at a lower cost.
Retail Centers
Retail centers live on visibility. A pylon or multi-tenant monument shows every tenant to passing traffic, and consistent storefront signs make the center look cared for. We build tenant panels that can be swapped as leases change and design storefront signs to your criteria. Read about options for pylon and monument signs.
Property Signs FAQ
Can you update just one tenant panel?
Yes. We make replacement panels and inserts for monuments and directories so you can update one tenant at a time.
Can you manage signs across a portfolio of properties?
Yes. We keep your standards on file and manage surveys, permits and installation at each property. We are based in Charlotte, NC and install nationwide through our network of more than 300 installation partners.
Do property signs need permits?
Permanent exterior signs such as monuments and building signs usually do. Small directional and parking signs on private property often do not, but rules vary by town, and we check them for you.
Can you help write sign criteria for our property?
Yes. We can draft sign criteria that set the size, style, colors and lighting for tenant signs so the property stays consistent as tenants come and go.
