Amira Senior Apartments in Lake Elmo, MN is a 147-unit, 277,700 sq. ft. senior living community -- the kind of large-scale multifamily project where truss supply and coordination can make or break the construction schedule.

JL Schwieters supplied the full truss package for Amira: 409,000 board feet of engineered trusses delivered from September through November 2024. A project of this scope requires more than just manufacturing capacity -- it requires close coordination with multiple parties to make sure truss engineering aligns with what the architect and structural engineer specified, and that deliveries arrive in the right sequence for the installation crew.

For Amira, we coordinated directly with the architect, structural engineer, wall panel supplier, and the customer's team throughout the process. That level of integration is what separates a truss supplier who delivers a product from a truss partner who is part of the project team.

JL Schwieters manufactures roof and floor trusses at our Hugo, MN facility and delivers to projects across Minnesota and western Wisconsin. For senior living, multifamily, and commercial developers who need a truss supplier with engineering capability and real project coordination -- not just a drop-and-go delivery -- this is what that looks like.
