Mealey Signs in Annapolis, one of the city’s most enduring family businesses, recently celebrated its 90-year milestone on the front page of the Capital Gazette. Founded in 1936, the company has grown into a trusted third-generation business with projects spanning Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, and beyond—from local storefronts to major hospitality brands and sports teams.
As a family-run business, Mealey Signs in Annapolis has always focused on craftsmanship, reliability, and long-standing client relationships. Tim Mealey, the current owner and president, continues to maintain these connections, keeping the company a fixture in the community.
Hyatt Commercial supported Mealey Signs in Annapolis through a strategic sale-leaseback of its historic property at 2 Willow Street, guided by George Shenas and Collin Mercier. The property sold at an above-average price per square foot while the leaseback allowed the business to continue operating without interruption.
This milestone shows how careful real estate planning can preserve legacy and support long-term business growth.
