Wynwood committee recommends approval for Jewel House entrance and garage signs
Summary
The committee recommended approval of two signage applications for the Jewel House mixed‑use development at 2200 Northwest First Avenue — a building identification (monument) sign and a blade/entrance sign for the parking garage — following presentations by the project attorney and consultant.
The Wynwood Design Review Committee recommended approval of two signage applications for Jewel House, a mixed‑use project at 2200 Northwest First Avenue, after hearing a presentation from the applicant’s attorney and signage consultant.
Ines Marrero, attorney for the applicant, described the first sign as a sculptural building‑identification monument placed at the residential entrance; a nighttime rendering shown to the committee emphasized sculptural lighting. The second sign is a perpendicular blade sign marking the garage entrance on the building’s north façade.
Committee members praised the monument’s unique design but suggested the monument’s flat gray coloring may reduce visibility during daytime, advising the applicant to consider contrast or materials that preserve the sculptural quality while improving legibility. Member comments noted the monument’s craftsmanship and that the blade sign and monument together identify the primary residential and vehicle entrances.
Action: Item 3 (building identification sign) was recommended for approval by roll call vote, 3‑0. Item 4 (garage/entrance blade sign) was recommended for approval by roll call vote, 3‑0.
Both items were presented together for efficiency; staff confirmed tenant signage facing NW 22nd Street is not part of these two applications and will be submitted separately by future tenants for their build‑outs.
