Design, Manufacturer, Installation | Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland WA

Oakhurst Center is a sprawling two-building office campus located in the popular 520/Overlake area of the Bellevue suburban office market. A re-branding project had already commenced when CB Richard Ellis assumed responsibility as property managers. The CBRE team needed a brand signage firm to build and install the interior and exterior signage designed by Effective Design Studio.

Northwest entrepreneurs Julian and Frederico Ramos along with their sister Fabiola knew it was time to upgrade their popular Los Margaritas restaurant located at Bear Creek Town Center.  Although the business featured loyal customers and a great staff, the building had not seen any changes since the 70's.  Older brother Julian says Cocina & Cantina was born.  The owners needed branding signage.

For more than a quarter of a century, Copiers Northwest has provided superior products and services to the region's leading companies.  A new location in Beaverton, Oregon presented the opportunity to work with The Sign Factory.  "We have been interested in doing business together for some time," said Marie Holland, Executive Assistant to ownership.  "The timing was perfect.  We needed branding signage for the new building and they had just called us for copier needs."

The Sign Factory is one of the only full-service brand signage companies to provide-in-house expertise to overcome complicated site and permitting issues.  Team member Jim Minar has been called one of the most experienced permitting experts in the country. Minar has more than 20 years experience in the sign business.  He began his career as an installer for a major national company based in Stockton, CA.  In 1997 he moved back to Seattle to be the lead project manager for another leading sign business.
