More signs for Staples in Highland

Staples, the big box office supply retailer, got the go-ahead from the Design Review Board on Tuesday to put up a 50-square-foot sign on the eastern side of its building in the Highland Crossings plaza on Greenspot Road.

The sign will face the neighboring Regency Centers development, which courted Staples for its plaza but lost out to the Highland Crossings developer, Newport Beach-based JLM Treh VIII Hwy. 30, LLC. By opting to lease space in the Highland Crossings plaza, Staples can advertise on the freeway pylon sign adjacent the 210 Freeway.

Staples wouldn't have been allowed to advertise on the freeway sign if it leased space at Regency Centers because JLM Treh has sole control over which tenants get to advertise on the sign.

Lowes Home Improvement Center was the first business to open in the Highland Crossings plaza, which sits in the Golden Triangle, the city's future retail and entertainment hub.
