Mall
Location: Las Cruces, New Mexico
Client: Gregory Greenfield &
Associates
Architect: CNNA | Atlanta
Sign Contractor: Gable Sign Company
Year Completed: 2005

Working within a very tight renovation
budget and schedule, the architectural
team at CNNA and CarusoDrye worked
together to prioritize rebranding
options in a manner that would
maximize visual impact for this retail
center in southern New Mexico.
Existing sign structures were re-used,
and mall entrances received simple
paint and graphics rather than more
costly architectural options, to
complete the project on time and
under budget.

Following a successful renovation and
rebranding effort in 2005-2006,

necessitating mall and cinema
signage visible from the parking lot to
help patrons locate the entrance to
both the mall and the cinema. In
addition, signage was added inside

circulation to the mall parking and
cinema.

used and mall entrances used bold
applications of paint and graphics
rather than more costly architectural
options to bring the project in on time
and under budget. The result was very
