Silver Lake Village | Nystrom
Location: Saint Anthony, Minnesota
Contractor: Doran Properties Group
The Project
The Silver Lake Village
complex in Saint Anthony,
Minnesota, is a 492-unit
apartment community
that includes two fourstory
residences along
with topline community
amenities such as a
15,000 square foot
clubhouse with a game
room, fitness center, clubroom, and
sprawling pool terrace for residents to
enjoy. Nystrom was proud to partner
with the developers and general
contractors of the complex to offer
HVAC Doors that addressed performance
from both a functional and aesthetic
standpoint, providing security and
access along with an appealing look.
Silver Lake Village features a Single
Packaged Vertical Unit (SPVU) in each
apartment. The SPVU essentially sits
in a dedicated closet and benefits
from a door that provides a clean,
unobtrusive and secure access point
for easy servicing and maintenance.
The new Nystrom HVAC Door was
presented as an option to the
construction team. An upgrade from
the pre-hung door that is typically
used, the HVAC Door provides a more
cost-effective solution and better fit
for the application.
The installer commented that the
HVAC Door is much lighter than the
pre-hung door making it easier to
install and transport around the site,
and that it also installs much faster
than a typical pre-hung door. “I like
the fact the framing doesn’t have to
be notched out for the latch like the
other options,” he stated. “The larger
one-and-a-quarterinch
frame helps cover
the cut out since they
are typically not perfectly
square. Plus, the
frame and door has
some flex so it can sit
tight against an
un-plumb wall.”
The Silver Lake Village
Project Manager was
impressed with the
HVAC Door’s all-around
cost savings and the fact there is no
exposed hinge, which helps to finish it
out better while keeping in mind the
sound attenuation.
