Project Background

Island Club Condominium at Pompano Beach, Florida embodies a welcoming and secure environment, catering to the diverse needs of its 55+ residents. Established with a commitment to providing top-notch amenities, the community’s mission is to create an environment of enjoyment and pleasure.

The residential community faced a common challenge: providing a secure and efficient storage solution for its tenants. The community, comprised of mostly families and retirees, required a system that could accommodate the varied needs of its residents while ensuring safety and maximizing space.

Tenant Lockers for Residential Community at Pompano Beach

The Challenge

The primary concern of the Residential community was the lack of secure personal storage space for tenants. With limited apartment sizes and an increasing demand for security, the community needed a solution that could offer peace of mind and declutter living spaces. Additionally, the storage solution had to be cost-effective and align with the aesthetic and safety regulations of the community.

The residential management sought to enhance its offerings by installing tenant locker units in the buildings. This initiative aimed to provide residents with a convenient and secure space to store personal belongings, ensuring a clutter-free living environment.

The Solution

Inspired by successful implementations on other residential settings, the community management decided to partner with Atlantic Rack, known for their expertise in creating tailored storage systems that fill unique construction parameters.

After visiting the residential community, Atlantic Rack recognized the focus on safety and security, and provided the residential community tenant locker units from WireCrafters, known for their durable construction and reliable locking mechanisms. These locker units offer residents peace of mind, knowing that their belongings are safely stored and easily accessible when needed. Additionally, the installation of these locker units enhances the overall appeal of the community, showcasing a commitment to providing modern and convenient solutions for its residents.

The chosen lockers were made from robust welded wire in a 2″ x 2″ square mesh, providing both security and visibility. This design allowed for the integration of the community’s existing lighting, ventilation, and fire suppression systems, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

The installation process was meticulously planned to minimize disruption to the tenants. Atlantic Rack conducted a thorough assessment of the available space, taking into account the complex corners and walls of the building’s infrastructure. Detailed drawing were provided to the community management to ensure a seamless fit and detailed project scope.

The tenant lockers were installed in 4 different common areas, where they could be easily accessed and remain unobtrusive. Each locker was equipped with a simple padlock lug, allowing tenants to use their own padlocks for an added layer of personal security.
