T. SIGN PLAN
1. Intent
General Signage
It is the intent of Northstar Center to achieve a unified, consistent, proportionally
scaled signage system for both the anchor tenant and other businesses.
The goal is to provide identification for both the upper (street side Highway 6) and
lower businesses (primarily Building #2 Lower Level) and anchor tenants. Due to
lack of street exposure for lower level businesses from the Highway 6 side, a
mechanism of providing signage for the above should be considered from the entry
side of Northstar Center. This will manifest in a pair of kiosks as directories.
There shall be five (5) major categories of signs for Northstar Center:
a. Center Identification Sign
b. Business Identification Signs (Including Outward Signs, Projecting Signs,
Glass Signs, Numbering of Business, and Logo Signs)
C. Directory Signage (Kiosk)
d. Anchor Tenant Signage
e. General Information Signage, Traffic, Construction Signage, etc.
