• single-tenant buildings that have visibility from the SR-55 <br />Freeway. Since the Brookhollow Office Park has <br />approximately 100 tenants with little or no visibility to the <br />freeway, the location and placement of these buildings <br />makes it difficult to identify the tenants. In order to allow the <br />major tenants to be distinguished from the other adjacent <br />structures, signage that is visible from the SR-55 Freeway is <br />necessary.
