For multi-tenant business complexes, having clear and accurate building directory signs is essential. Most properties feature a primary monument or exterior directory listing tenant names and logos, but many modern complexes are now adding building directory signage directly onto window panels at the main lobby. This approach is visually clean, cost-effective, and easy to update—making it ideal for offices and mixed-use buildings across San Jose and the greater Bay Area.
Recently, we completed a project on the peninsula that required producing a custom glass directory for a commercial building. Instead of installing traditional building directory boards, the property management team chose sleek vinyl graphics applied to lobby window panels. This method delivers excellent visibility for visitors while keeping the overall aesthetic minimal and modern.
Why Window-Based Building Directories Are Growing in Popularity
Business complexes today want directory solutions that look polished but are also budget-friendly. Traditional office building directory boards, acrylic tenant panels, or interior building directory signs work well, but they can be more costly to fabricate, install, and update.
Directory graphics applied directly to glass offer several advantages:
- Cost-effective compared to electronic directories or large directory boards
- Easy to update when tenants move in or out
- Professional appearance suitable for Class-A and Class-B buildings
- Customizable with logos, typography, colors, and layout
- Space-saving, ideal for smaller lobbies
For property owners seeking tenant directory signage, window graphics are a smart choice that balances affordability and visual clarity.
The Project: Creating a Custom Window-Panel Directory
For this peninsula location, our team gathered electronic logo art files from all tenants and converted them into clean, scalable vector graphics. Each logo was then formatted into a unified style to create visually cohesive office building directories.
The directory itself was installed on a series of glass panels in the main lobby, transforming them into intuitive building lobby directories. The final result included:
- Crisp vinyl tenant logos
- A clean vertical layout for easy reading
- Durable materials suitable for high-traffic environments
These types of directory office signs are popular for properties that want to move away from bulky directory cabinets or expensive electronic lobby directories, without sacrificing quality.
