The Regan Development Corporation oversees the Craft Building at 164 Union Avenue. Studios, one, and two-bedroom units are available for rent to seniors over the age of 55. Opened this year, the firm contacted Gotham Signs & Graphics to handle the design, production, and installation of 3D letter building signs for apartments in New Rochelle, NY.

Brushed Aluminum Letters Create an Elegant Brand Appeal

Did you know that building signage contributes to – or detracts from – the overall curb appeal of a property? Because the client understands the importance of creating a welcoming display, it was imperative that the lettering fit perfectly with the overall architectural designs. Moreover, the firm was looking for the ideal branding component that would attract prospective tenants’ attention.

Metal was the best material for the project. It symbolizes longevity in the niche. Similarly, it focuses attention on the fact that the management team takes great pride in the property’s overall presentation. Therefore, the metal highlights the commitment to excellence that the client is known for. After manufacturing the individual style elements, our installers flush-mounted them to the façade. There, they fit in beautifully with the reddish-brown tones of the stucco.

Why Metal as a Building Letter Material is a Good Option

Metal may cost a little more than sign foam, PVC, or acrylic, but it is worth every penny.

• Material selection. Aluminum is a popular choice. However, you might also opt for copper, stainless steel, Cor-Ten steel, or something else altogether. In addition, we can take a less expensive metal and treat it to simulate aged copper or blackened bronze.
• Manufacturing options. Take a page from the Regan Development Corporation’s playbook and choose flat-cut metal for the project. We can manufacture these letters in any size and font. Another option is the display of cast metal. Doing so allows for rounded fronts and a more pronounced 3D effect.
• Installation choices. Flush mounts are the most common options. Other choices include standoffs or bottom mounts. For example, if you have an overhang, we could mount the letters standing up on top of it. Conversely, we might mount them hanging down.

Besides all this versatility, there is also a durability advantage. Metal does not degrade due to rain or sun. Therefore, these types of signs are designed for the long run.
