Waypoint Sign Company

In the PNW, we love the outdoors. Even when it starts raining (hint: it is what makes it green here). Vulcan Real Estate's Cascara Apartments and its super swell signage celebrate our shared admiration of the natural environment that surrounds us.

San Jose’s Japantown is one of the last three authentic Japantowns in the United States. Shea Properties worked with the neighborhood for almost a decade to develop 6th & Jackson, a project that honors the community and its people. With clean, contemporary lines and a cool palette of natural woods mixed with black and white tones, the development speaks to modern Japanese buildings and spaces. And the signage is pretty sweet too, leveraging a natural wood substrate, tactile lettering and numbers with a striped pattern that accent the community’s stunning interiors. Waypoint was delighted to continue our partnership with Shea Properties and to work with fellow Seattleites Ankrom Moisan, the project architect, and Swenson Builders, the development’s general contractor.

It’s Waypoint Wayback Wednesday! Today we’re zooming back to March, 2022 (so not too far back) to highlight Alta Arlo, a Wood Partners development in the Columbia City neighborhood of Seattle. Waypoint is honored to work with Wood Partners across multiple states and markets, but there is something special about doing a project at home, within a short few miles of our office and fabrication facility. Alta Arlo has some super cool signage, if we do say so ourselves. Speaking to the building’s sustainable construction, the hyper-local neighborhood vibe and the creative nature of the target audience, the sign package is as multi-layered as the Columbia City community, leveraging unique textures and materials to make a statement throughout the development. Johnston Architects designed this thoughtful building and Exxel Pacific was the General Contractor. Thanks for having Waypoint on the team!
