The Rosalyn Apartments site in Bloomington, MN came with constraints most framing crews would not know how to handle. Powerlines ran along one edge. Two major highways bordered the other sides. There was almost no room to stage materials, sequence deliveries, or crane anything into place without a precise plan.

JL Schwieters solved it by deploying two tower cranes simultaneously and leaning hard on prefabricated components -- pre-manufactured parapets and floor panels that arrived ready to install rather than built in the field. That combination let us frame all 133,480 square feet of this 128-unit multifamily building in 13 weeks, from March to June 2025.

This is the kind of project that separates framing contractors who can handle complexity from those who cannot. Tight sites, constrained schedules, and logistical coordination across a large multifamily footprint are exactly what our turnkey package is designed for. We manufacture the components, we coordinate the deliveries, and we install with our own crews.

For developers and general contractors working in urban and suburban Twin Cities markets where sites are rarely simple, JL Schwieters brings the manufacturing capability, equipment, and experience to deliver on time without compromising the structure.
