Clear wayfinding plays a bigger role in commercial spaces than most people realize. At Terracon Business Park, a large multi-tenant campus on the east side of Winnipeg, well-designed directory signage helps keep daily movement simple and efficient.
Electra Sign Ltd. fabricated and installed a series of non-lit monument directory signs at 1 Terracon Place. These signs were designed to guide tenants and visitors through the business park with clarity, using clean layouts, clear typography, and logical unit ranges such as 78 to 106 and 30 to 58. Directional elements were carefully planned to align with internal roadways and access points, including connections to Dugald Road.
Terracon Business Park spans approximately 105 acres and includes over 400,000 square feet of flex space for office and light industrial tenants. With multiple buildings, landscaped grounds, and a steady flow of traffic throughout the day, intuitive navigation is essential. These monument signs contribute to a more seamless experience across the property.
From a fabrication standpoint, the focus was on precision and durability. Each sign was built with sharp detailing and consistent finishes to complement the clean, professional look of the park. While the signs are non-illuminated, their visibility and readability were carefully considered to ensure they perform effectively in natural lighting conditions.
Wayfinding signage is often one of the first touchpoints visitors have with a property. At Terracon Business Park, these monument directory signs support the overall environment by making navigation straightforward and stress-free.
Electra Sign Ltd. continues to design, fabricate, and install custom commercial signage solutions across Winnipeg and Manitoba, with a focus on long-term performance and practical design.
Not every building signage project calls for maximum scale or brightness. At 243 Queen St. in Winnipeg, this installation for Executive Suites by Roseman focused on clarity, restraint, and long-term durability, key considerations for residential-style commercial signage.
Executive Suites by Roseman offers extended stay accommodations in Winnipeg, providing fully furnished suites designed for guests staying 30 nights or longer. With full kitchens, separate living areas, and a quieter atmosphere than traditional hotels, the property blends hospitality with residential comfort. That positioning directly influenced the approach to the exterior signage design.
As a Winnipeg signage company, Electra Sign Ltd. designed and installed LED push-thru letter signage to complement the building rather than dominate it. This fabrication method allows light to pass through precisely cut letterforms, creating a clean, even illumination that enhances nighttime visibility without overwhelming the façade.
Push-thru signage is an effective solution for projects where a refined, high-end look is needed within a more compact footprint. For this location, the scale was intentionally kept modest, while the illuminated detailing adds a level of polish typically associated with larger sign systems. The result is energy-efficient illuminated signage that balances performance and aesthetics.
Installed above the main entrance, the sign provides clear identification for residents and visitors while maintaining consistency with the surrounding architecture. During the day, it presents a clean, minimal profile. At night, the LED illumination creates a subtle focal point that enhances visibility without excess brightness.
Projects like this highlight how thoughtful commercial signage in Manitoba can support both branding and user experience. For Executive Suites by Roseman, the finished product reflects the same values as the space itself, professional, comfortable, and designed for long-term use.

The YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg has been a cornerstone of the community for generations, providing programs and services that support health, wellness, and connection across all stages of life.
With multiple locations throughout the city, the organization offers far more than fitness facilities. From childcare and youth development programs to community outreach and newcomer support, the YMCA-YWCA plays an important role in making Winnipeg a more inclusive and accessible place to live.
Their Portage Avenue location is one of the busiest, serving a diverse mix of members, families, and community groups each day. Accessibility and visibility are key for a space like this, ensuring that people can easily find and recognize a place they rely on.
Electra Sign had the opportunity to work with the YMCA-YWCA on updated exterior signage at this location, including a large LED-lit pylon sign and illuminated building logos. The goal was to create a clean, recognizable presence that reflects the organization’s identity while remaining highly visible both day and night.
Projects like this are a reminder that signage isn’t just about branding, it’s about supporting organizations that make a meaningful impact in the community.
