Waypoint was delighted to work with our excellent development partner, Shea Properties on their 296-unit multi-family development Leeward. Named for its east-facing view on the shores of Lake Union, Leeward is an amenity rich development that mixes cues from the neighborhood’s industrial heritage with modernity, a nod to the tech giants that surround the building. The building signage speaks to this mash-up by introducing a modern design that leverages metal with historic patina and crisp acrylic. The Waypoint team provided full design/build services for Leeward, completing the design, permitting, fabrication and installation of wayfinding, code, ADA, exterior  and marketing signage. Ankrom Moisan was the architect for the development and Exxel Pacific was the general contractor.
