Mixed-use developments are major projects  - and more and more metro areas (like Brockton) are undertaking them. Besides satisfying a diverse group of real estate owners, city and zoning officials, retail businesses and office tenants, pedestrians need clear signage so that the development is truly walkable. What do you think of the Enterprise Building redevelopment?

Versatile Outdoor Dining and More Weather resistant fabric and commercial grade vinyl "walls" can be designed to protect customers against wind, rain, and possibly snow - but each section can be rolled up and attached to the structure's frame, exposing outdoor seating during favorable weather. In addition to restaurant enclosures,  many hospitality businesses such as airport and hotel pick-up/drop off terminals, as well as nursing care facilities and corporate and residential luxury developments utilize canopies and awnings to improve customer experience.   there are a variety of applications and design concepts to consider. If you're a restaurant owner, developer, architect or designer looking to maximize your use of a unique outdoor space, please contact Metro Sign & Awning to investigate the possibilities. A wide variety of new materials - combined with our experience in designing and fabricating business awnings and enclosures - means you have more options than ever before.
