3 Multi-Tenant Sign Designs That Attract More Tenants

Eye-catching, multi-tenant signage designs make a huge impact and attract more tenants. Typically seen outside of a business, they are a critical component in promoting commercial properties with multiple tenants in one physical location.

Dave’s Signs has put together the following guide showcasing some of the best custom multi-tenant signs we’ve designed and installed.

But first, let’s discuss the difference between multi-tenant signs and directory signs since they look very similar.

Multi-Tenant Signs vs. Directory Signs

Multi-tenant signs and directory signs are often confused with one another, but they serve distinct purposes.

Directory signs are typically used in shopping malls and business parks to help customers navigate and find specific businesses. They usually have a fixed number of display spaces that are regularly updated as new businesses move in or out.

In contrast, multi-tenant signs are large, freestanding signs with multiple tenant panels, each displaying the name of a business or tenant in the complex.

While both types of signs have removable panels for easy updates, their primary function differs. Multi-tenant signs focus on showcasing the various businesses within a complex, whereas directory signs provide wayfinding information to help customers locate specific businesses.

Design Options for Multi-Tenant Signs

When it comes to designing multi-tenant signs, there are various options to consider. The design team at Dave’s Signs can work with you to create a custom sign that meets your business needs and complies with local zoning ordinances. Here are some design options to consider:

  • Pylon Sign Mounted: These signs are tall and wide, ensuring maximum visibility for each business listed. They are ideal for shopping centers and office buildings with multiple tenants.
  • Monument Multi-Tenant Signs: These signs are stylish and cost-effective, making them perfect for promoting office parks or shops. They can be crafted from a variety of materials, including wood and masonry, to give a professional and rustic touch.
  • Custom Designs: Our design team can create custom multi-tenant signs that reflect your brand and business needs. We can incorporate impactful signage featuring your tenants, key design features, and other elements that enhance the appeal of your property.
  • Digital Displays: Consider adding digital displays to your multi-tenant sign to showcase sales, special events, and other important information. This can help attract more customers and increase marketing reach for your tenants.

Outdoor Multi-Tenant Signs vs. Directory  Signs

Outside Multi-Tenant Signs and Directory Signs can look similar, but their functions differ.

Businesses in shopping malls and business parks use directory signs like the one we did above to stand out and grow their brand. They also act as Wayfinding Signs for occupants. The sign has a set amount of display spaces. As new businesses are introduced or depart, the display spaces are regularly updated.

Comparatively, a multi-tenant sign is large, with freestanding signage made up of divided tenant panels in sections. Unlike Directory Signs, they typically tell you what tenant, business, etc is in the complex – not where you can find them.

Since the panels in both types of signs are removable, changing a name is easy. Multi-tenant signs often feature multiple signage cabinets to display the names of various businesses prominently.
