The Arch Company. Making Space for Businesses to Thrive.

To create a distinct brand identity for The Arch Company, a new entity formed from acquiring Network Rail’s commercial estate by Telereal Trillium and Blackstone. This new brand, deeply rooted in the unique industrial heritage of the arches, needed to resonate with a diverse mix of tenants and reflect the rich history and legacy of these spaces.

The Arch Company had recently become the UK’s largest small business landlord, managing various properties across England and Wales. This included a vibrant tenant base comprising bakeries, barbers, builders' merchants, and breweries. The challenge was to develop a brand that stood out in the competitive property market and harmonised with the eclectic mix of businesses inhabiting the arches. The branding needed to encapsulate the historical and industrial essence of the arch spaces while appealing to a modern, diverse clientele.

A fresh and memorable brand identity was developed, starting with the name "The Arch Co," which echoes the core of the business—the arches. The identity was crafted to be modern, reflecting the forward-thinking nature of the brand, yet still paying homage to the arches' industrial past.

The logo features a stamp identity designed with a series of curves that echo the architectural form of the arches, paying homage to their historical significance.

The new brand was carefully tailored to attract a broad audience, aiming to include all potential and existing tenants. The design's simplicity and uniqueness cater to a broad demographic, from traditional trades to creative ventures, ensuring everyone feels valued and considered.

The distinctive orange stamp of The Arch Co's branding is a mark of quality and a signpost for dynamic and forward-thinking businesses, inviting locals and visitors alike to discover the diverse offerings within these uniquely purposed spaces.
