Commercial & Municipal Holiday Lighting in Corpus Christi, TX

Who we decorate

• Retail storefronts and shopping centers
• Restaurants, hotels and venues
• Office buildings and medical campuses
• HOA and neighborhood entrances, clubhouses and common areas
• Churches and schools
• Downtown districts, parks and municipal buildings

Each of those has a different goal. A shopping center wants traffic and a consistent look across tenants. An HOA wants an entrance that makes residents feel at home. A city wants a town square families will remember. The design starts with what the display is supposed to do.

Design options for commercial properties

• Building and roofline outlines that define the architecture after dark
• Tree and palm wraps along drives, medians and parking areas
• Wreaths, garland and bows on facades, columns and light poles
• Entry monuments and signage for neighborhoods and centers
• Commercial trees and greenery, including pre-designed themed collections
• Oversized ornaments, walk-through pieces and light-up displays for photo spots

For statement pieces we draw on commercial decor catalogs that include Barcana oversized ornaments, Fotodiastasi (FDS) light displays, fiberglass figures and animatronic characters. If you want one thing people will photograph and share, this is where it comes from.

Planned around your operations

Commercial displays have to work around business hours, traffic, tenants and events. We plan the installation schedule with you so the property is lit when you need it and the work stays out of your customers' way.

We look at where power is available and how the display will be controlled, typically with timers so it runs itself. Displays near walkways, entrances and parking are planned so cords and connections stay clear of customers and vehicles.

Budgets, bids and multi-year plans

Commercial and municipal displays are quoted in writing for the design you choose. If your organization budgets annually or needs board or council approval, we can scope the display to a set figure, present options at more than one level, or phase a larger plan over several seasons so the look builds each year.

Because we store the display between seasons, you are not solving a storage problem every January.

Maintained through the season

A dark section on a storefront looks worse than no lights at all. In-season maintenance is part of the program: if something goes out or weather knocks a line loose, call us and we will come out and correct it.

What a holiday display does for a business

A commercial display is a marketing decision as much as a decorating one. A lit property is visible from the road when competitors are dark. It gives shoppers and diners a reason to choose your center, stay longer and take photos that end up in front of their friends. It tells tenants, employees and residents that the property is cared for.

It also has to look professional. A display with dark sections or sagging lines works against you, which is why design, installation and maintenance come as one program.

Downtowns, parks and municipal displays

Cities and counties use holiday displays to bring people downtown and to give the community a shared tradition. We design for the public spaces that matter most: the main street, the courthouse or city hall, the park where the tree lighting is held.

Municipal work can include building outlines, lit trees, wreaths and garland on light poles, large commercial trees and walk-through or photo pieces. If you have a lighting ceremony or parade date, tell us at the start so the installation schedule is built backward from it.

HOA and neighborhood entrances

The entrance is the one part of a neighborhood every resident sees every day. Lit monuments, wreaths on the columns, wrapped palms or oaks in the median and a decorated clubhouse set the tone for the whole community. We are glad to prepare options for a board or committee to review.

A typical commercial timeline

• Spring and summer: planning, budgeting and first design conversations
• Late summer: design and quote approved
• Fall: installation, scheduled around your operations
• By Thanksgiving, or your event date: display lit
• Through the season: maintenance as needed
• January: takedown
• Rest of the year: storage with us

Later starts are possible when the calendar allows, but large displays and custom pieces are the first to need lead time.

Beyond the holidays

Many commercial clients want impact the other eleven months too. Permanent lighting and RGB color-changing lighting can move from holiday colors to brand colors or event themes without a new installation, and landscape lighting makes a property look cared for every night of the year. Inside the building, we offer interior holiday decorating for lobbies and offices.
