Crystal Window provides 2,100 energy efficient windows for two, seven-story residential buildings

Nashville, TN Crystal Window & Door systems has supplied a waterfront community with over 2,100 energy efficient windows for its two multifamily structures. The two residential mixed-use seven-story buildings with ground floor retail are known as The Oxbow and The Wayward. Separated by a new street, the buildings are located at 2135 and 2141 Waterside Dr. Combined, the two buildings offer 651,387 s/f of residential space, 43,458 s/f of retail and 651 new rental apartments.

Construction of The Oxford and The Wayward buildings are among the initial phases of the creation of a new high-density mixed-use urban waterfront neighborhood. Known as The Landings at River North, the development is on the banks of the Cumberland River on a 12-acre former waterfront warehouse campus. Besides the residential buildings, the project will ultimately include retail spaces, office facilities, a hotel, parking garage, and the adaptive reuse of a large historic warehouse.

For the two residential buildings at The Landings at River North, two double-hung and one fixed/picture Crystal window models were specified, for a total of 2,195 windows. The overwhelming majority were factory fabricated in horizontal combinations of optional double and triple operating panels using master frames with T-mullions. These combined window units were set atop matching width fixed/picture units using field applied stack mullions. The window configurations spanned large building openings, with some reaching 127” high by 88” wide, to provide grand floor-to-ceiling views for residents.

The Crystal aluminum Series 2000A double-hung, one of the anchors of the company’s broad product line, was used extensively in both buildings. The 3-¼” frame depth, sloped sill window is rated CW-PG50. With tilt-in upper and lower sashes, the Series 2000A also features a full width ergonomic lift handle and an anti-drift head clip lock for ease of operations, convenience, security, and weather tightness.
