Solution: County Materials’ 12" hollowcore, beams, and columns provide durable, high-performing structural systems for a multi-story apartment complex in Savage, Minnesota, ensuring long-term strength and efficient construction.
Precast Systems Deliver Functional Strength for Multi-Family Living
At the intersection of 154th Street and Dakota Avenue in Savage, Minnesota, a new apartment development is taking shape with strength and efficiency at its core. Designed for high-occupancy residential use, the Savage Apartments project utilizes County Materials’ precast concrete systems to meet demanding performance and schedule requirements.
A total of 36,000 square feet of 12" hollowcore is being installed throughout the complex, providing essential floor and ceiling systems that deliver exceptional load-bearing capabilities and fire resistance. Hollowcore’s continuous span reduces the need for additional framing materials and supports faster installation timelines—an ideal solution for multi-story construction. Its low-maintenance surface and structural reliability will serve future residents and building owners for years.
In addition to hollowcore, the building incorporates 350 linear feet of 16" x 16" precast columns and 1,170 linear feet of precast beams, forming a complete structural system. These components enhance the building’s integrity and streamline construction, reducing on-site labor demands and minimizing weather-related delays.
County Materials’ precast systems offer the strength, durability, and long-term functionality required in today’s high-density housing. With a focus on performance and build efficiency, the Savage Apartments project exemplifies how precast solutions can support both immediate construction goals and lasting structural confidence.
Project Highlights:
County Materials’ 12" hollowcore slabs deliver essential strength and functionality for this multifamily complex. Combined with precast beams and columns, the system supports faster build times, long-term durability, and enhanced occupant safety.
