At SignWorks, we take pride in building strong relationships with our clients, and our recent project for Alameda Point Developer is a great example of that. After the success of the first aluminum directional plaque at the Storehouse Lofts live-work community, the client was so pleased with the outcome that they ordered four more to be installed in various locations across the property.

This project showcases our expertise in creating high-quality, durable signage while highlighting the strong partnerships we maintain with both our clients and our trusted wholesale supplier, Gemini.

A Successful Project Leads to More Orders

The initial aluminum directional plaque was designed to blend seamlessly with the industrial-chic aesthetic of the Storehouse Lofts. It provided clear navigation for residents and visitors while maintaining a stylish and modern look.

Why the Client Ordered More:

  • Positive Feedback – Residents and visitors appreciated the clarity and professionalism of the sign.
  • Cohesive Branding – The client wanted all directional plaques to match the first one to maintain consistency across the community.
  • Enhanced Wayfinding – Additional signs will help improve navigation throughout the live-work space.

We were thrilled to take on this next phase of the project, ensuring that the new plaques matched the original in quality, style, and durability.
