INTRODUCTION
Weare pleased to present the new sign criteria for Shorewood Village Center. Although some
individual variation will be allowed, the new tenant signage must preserve the crucial uniformity
of the newly remodeled center.
This criteria has been developed to insure the mutual benefit of Ten ant and Landlord. By
documenting signage detail and articulating the responsibilities of each partner, we will construct
a sign system that meets both economic and aesthetic needs. Economics require that signage be
functional and cost effective. Unnecessary costs will be avoided by guidelines which prevent the
removal of inappropriate signs and the duplicate cost of sign replacement. Aesthetics require
that signage complement the architecture of the complex and contribute to an environment which
is attractive not only to customers but also to potential Tenants.
