The 3300 North Central Tower was renovated from the inside out. JRC Design worked with CBRE and their team to review the colorization of the buildings and site elements. We also developed a new brand for signage, identity, and marketing use, paying special attention to typeface selection. Through the process we were able to present sign height opportunities, renovation solutions, and wayfinding evaluations for the parking structure and pedestrian pathways. Completing the process with amendments and representations to the City of Phoenix for approval.

Renovation of a worn out center that was not working along the new 202 Red Mountain Freeway, to compete with the success of Tempe Marketplace style. The architecture, landscape architecture and signage were redesigned with reuse in mind - existing freeway pylon structures were stripped to the bones and new structures installed. Monumentation and all vehicular directional signage was integrated to use old recycled block from demolished buildings where possible. Lifestyle graphics throughout the elements and buildings were applied; lighting for street banners systems; and internal "water tubes" act as beacons for people gathering centers and highlighting tenant identification.

320,000 square foot lifestyle shopping center where the signage style was reflective and responsive to the architecture's eclectic/contemporary character. While many of the elements communicate these contemporary overtones – steel awnings, stone columns, asymmetrical metal accent columns and exposed outriggers – they work together to maintain a traditional and sophisticated graphic foundation.
