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.
Cabrillo Business Park directory sign in Goleta, California helps people find their way.
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:
This pylon-mounted multi-tenant sign in the Ventura Marina features a design inspired by a fisherman’s wharf theme.
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.
At Dave’s Signs, we specialize in creating custom multi-tenant signs that meet the unique needs of your business. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation and discuss your design options.
Outdoor Multi-Tenant Signs vs.Directory Signs
351 Hitchcock Way office directory post and panel sign in Santa Barbara, California.
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.
3 Custom Designs Highlighted: Pylon & Monument
Depending on your business needs and zoning ordinances, Dave’s Signs can create your custom multi-tenant sign in many designs and ways. Here are a few to consider:

Mounted on a two-legged pylon, this sign is both tall and wide, providing maximum visibility for each business listed. These signs are highly effective in developments such as shopping centers, malls, and office buildings.

For instance, the Shops at Kanan Village example we created here is a perfect example of a monument sign that has a smooth, artistic flair.
Multi-Tenant Sign Designs #3: Monument Signs that Accentuate Your Location
The Red Horse Plaza monument sign in Ojai, California, is a nice example of using natural elements to enhance the space and business visibility.
Multi-tenant monument signs made from wood and masonry offer a professional, rustic appearance.

This flexibility allows you to express your brand’s personality in a vivid and memorable way.

Neon Sign Design
The process starts with your initial idea. You may have a specific image in mind or a text style you love. We take your concept and work closely with you to refine it.
Our professionaldesigners will create a mock-up of how your sign will look. This step involves selecting the right colors, sizes, and shapes that best represent your brand and fit your intended spaces.

Collaboration
At Dave’s Signs, collaboration is key to ensuring that the final product matches your expectations. We work with you through the entire design process.
This includes multiple feedback sessions, during which you can see the progress and make adjustments as needed before we start fabricating.
Our goal is to ensure that when your neon sign lights up, it’s exactly what you envisioned.
Our neon sign fabricator is shaping the letters for the sign below.
From Design to Fabrication
Once the design is approved, we start fabrication, which involves a meticulous process in which glass tubes are carefully bent and shaped to match the design.
These tubes are then filled with gases like neon or argon, which emit bright colors when electrified, creating the sign’s vibrant glow.
The final step involves sealing the tubes and installing the electrical components to ensure the sign operates safely and efficiently, making it ready to catch the eye of passersby.

LED Neon Signs vs Traditional Neon Tube Lighting
When considering signage options, businesses often weigh the benefits of LED neon against traditional neon tubes. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, depending on factors like durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal.
Traditional Glass Neon Tubes
Glass tubes have been around since the early 20th century and are known for their vibrant, warm glow that comes from the ionization of gas within a glass tube. This glow is unmistakable and often associated with a retro aesthetic that many find appealing.
Traditional neon is extremely versatile in terms of shaping and coloring; it can be bent into almost any form, offering a unique customization that LEDs struggle to match.
However, traditional neon signs require a higher voltage and consume more power than LEDs. They are also more fragile due to their glass composition and are more expensive to repair and maintain.
LED Neon Lights
LED, on the other hand, represents modern technology in signage. LED neon uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) housed within a flexible plastic strip called LED neon flex that can mimic the look of traditional neon.
While LED neon might not have the exact light quality of traditional glass neon, it offers greater energy efficiency, using up to 80% less energy than traditional neon.
Additionally, LED neon is more durable, less prone to breaking, and easier to install. It also typically has a longer lifespan, reducing the frequency of replacements.
LED neon signs use the latest neon flex technology for low energy consumption. This Santa Paula Regency sign was made using LED neon.
The choice between traditional neon and LED neon often comes down to the specific needs and preferences of the business. If authenticity and a classic look are paramount, traditional neon might be the better choice.
For businesses looking for a more sustainable, durable, and cost-effective solution, LED neon could be the way to go.
In summary, traditional neon offers an authentic glow and customization that is perfect for a vintage look, while LED neon provides a modern, practical, and versatile alternative that is easier to maintain and operate. The choice is yours!

We added barn lighting to the sign facing the parking lot, which gives it an extra flare when you walk up.
Hand-Painted Signs
To give the building a more custom feel, we added a hand-painted “F logo” sign in the top corner, as seen from the parking lot.
Outdoor signs, such as hand-painted graphics on brick, add polish and evoke a nostalgic feeling about a former era.
There is also a black “F logo” graphic above the bar, only at the Stevenson Ranch location.

The different types of building signs available
There are a variety of building signs available to suit the needs of any business. Here are a few of the most popular.
Midici Wood Fired Pizza illuminated lightbox blade sign in downtown Ventura, CA. Easy to see for passersby.
Blade signs are a popular choice for many businesses, as they are highly visible and can be mounted on a building’s wall or eave. These signs are also called projecting signs, hanging signs, and flat panel signs. They are ideal for strip malls, downtown businesses, and areas with high pedestrian traffic.
If your business has a sidewalk in front, installing a blade sign is an excellent way to increase foot traffic and boost sales. They also make it easier to see when driving by because the viewer can see the sign looking forward without having to turn their head.
Motion Industries dimensional letter building sign in Oxnard, CA.
Dimensional letters are also quite popular, as they give a building’s facade depth and dimension. Dimensional letter signs use three-dimensional lettering or a custom logo (as opposed to flat panels).
Metal letters, plastic cut letters, or 3-D graphics are also known as dimensional letter signs. They’re not only appealing and weather resistant but also cost-effective, making them a great choice for anybody looking to have a high-quality sign on a tighter budget. When paired with spotlights, they look fantastic, ensuring that the sign is seen at night and during the evening hours.

Today, neon signs are used for a wide variety of purposes, from promoting businesses to highlighting landmarks and tourist attractions. Neon signs are often considered to be works of art, and they are still a popular choice for outdoor signs.

Star of CA monument sign with halo-lit channel letters, dimensional letters and external ground lights in Ventura, CA.
Monument signs are a type of signage that is freestanding and usually located at the entrance of a business park, shopping mall, hotel, restaurant, or residential community, like an apartment complex.
This type of outdoor sign is often made out of stone, brick, or concrete to give them a more permanent look.
For businesses, monument signs can be an excellent way to advertise your company name and logo to customers driving or walking by. Most often, these are lighted signs using many forms, including channel letters, dimensional letters, and lightbox signs – shopping malls with individual business names added, for example.
Monument signs are also commonly used in parks and other public spaces to help visitors find their way around.
In addition to their practical purposes, monument signs can also be used to add aesthetic appeal to a property. Well-designed monument signs can be eye-catching and make a positive first impression on visitors.
If you are looking for a way to improve the visibility and curb appeal of your business or public space, a monument sign may be the ideal solution.
Ganas Auto pole sign in Oxnard, CA. We used the existing structure to make this sign.
Pylon signs, aka pole signs, are a type of freestanding business sign that is often used for advertising businesses or promoting special events. Pylon signs are usually tall and thin, with a large base that helps to stabilize the structure. The height of pylon signs makes them highly visible from a distance, which is ideal for getting the attention of potential customers or passersby.
Pylon signs can be lit from within, making them visible even at night or in low-light conditions. Additionally, pylon signs are often double-sided so that they can be seen from both directions on a busy street.
Pylon signs are a versatile and effective way to get your message out, and they can be customized to fit your specific needs.
Typically, pylon signs can be updated using an existing structure when a new business moves in or is looking to update its outdoor signs.
Lifetech Resources in Moorpark, CA. One of a series of wayfinding monument signs created by Dave’s Signs.
Wayfinding signs are invaluable tools for helping people navigate their way around unfamiliar places. By providing clear and concise directions, wayfinding signs can help people to avoid getting lost or disoriented.
These directional signs can be found in a variety of settings, including shopping malls, office buildings, hospitals, and airports. In many cases, these informational signs are designed to blend in with their surroundings, making them easy to miss if you’re not looking for them. However, their simple design can often be misleading, as their straightforward appearance can disguise the complex task of navigation they perform.
Wayfinding signs may not always be the most exciting things to look at, but they play a vital role in helping us get to where we want to go.
How to choose the right building signs for your business
Lifetech Resources dimensional letter monument sign in Moorpark, CA.
When it comes to promoting your business, exterior signs are an important investment. Not only do they help customers find your location, but they also create a first impression of your brand. With so many different types of exterior signage available, it can be difficult to know which one is right for your business. Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing exterior signs:
First, consider the location of your sign
Bank of the Sierra monument sign. One of several locations we did around Southern California.
Will it be visible from the street? Is it in a high-traffic area? The placement of your sign will impact its effectiveness, so be sure to choose a location that will maximize visibility.
Second, think about the type of sign that will best match your brand identity
Bank of the Sierra channel letter sign. One of many locations we did around Southern California.
Are you looking for something traditional or modern? Eye-catching or understated? The right sign should reflect the personality of your company and help you stand out from the competition.

Building signs come in a wide range of prices, so it’s important to set a realistic budget before you start shopping. By taking the time to consider all of these factors, you can be sure to choose the right exterior sign for your business.
