A ground-up development can have dozens of signage decisions to make before opening day—from the monument at the entrance to building identification, wayfinding, parking, ADA signage, and amenities.

But what happens when there isn’t a signage designer assigned to the project?

That was the challenge at The Kenrick Apartments, a new 200-unit multifamily community in Norristown, PA. Instead of working from an existing signage package, 99signs developed the program from the ground up for Sovereign Properties and Bancroft Construction.

Designing the Signage Program From Scratch

99signs began by developing custom concepts that complemented the property’s architecture and branding. Our team created design options, produced physical samples for review, and worked directly with the ownership and construction teams to establish the final signage system.

The completed package covered the property from the entrance through its residential and amenity areas, including:

Monument and building identification signs
Directional and wayfinding signage
ADA-compliant tactile and Braille signs
Parking and EV charging signs
Amenity and regulatory signage
Large-format building banners

The Advantage of a Design-Build Signage Partner

For developers and general contractors, the biggest takeaway is that signage does not have to become another coordination problem.

When 99signs is involved early, one team can help manage the signage process from concept and design through permitting, fabrication, and installation—while adapting to the realities of an active construction schedule.

The Kenrick Apartments project ultimately delivered a unified signage program across four apartment buildings, a clubhouse, pool area, parking lot, and community entrance.

Keeping the Project Moving as Plans Changed

Like many active construction projects, the development continued to evolve. Building layouts, site plans, sign quantities, and locations changed as construction progressed. Unfinished landscaping and other site features also affected installation planning.

Rather than waiting for everything to be finalized, 99signs stayed involved through site visits, design revisions, phased production, and ongoing coordination with the construction team. This helped keep the signage accurate, code-compliant, and aligned with the completed property.
