demolition in April 2004. The final days saw the mall host a "Bulldozer Bash." This was intended to kick off plans for its successor development, Silver Lake Village, a mixed-use development. However, the majority of the people at the event were not there to celebrate the new shopping center, but came to share Apache memories and mourn the loss of what was once the center of their community. Housing Silver Lake Village has a number of choices, including traditional apartments, condominiums, and cottage-style homes. Most of this housing is new construction since 2004, but some properties, such as the Equinox Apartments, were constructed in the 1970s in the era of the Apache Plaza. In March of 2020, The Doran Group began a project of revitalizing the site of a vacant Walmart located within the complex. The project, named The Ruby Apartments, had construction continue into October of 2022, when the first leases and purchases were made. The Ruby has 496 rooms, and brings a modern and urban feel to the complex. Shopping The center is anchored by Cub Foods supermarket at the north. There are smaller buildings with other stores found in strip malls, including GameStop, Chipotle, Caribou Coffee, Leeann Chin, and Coldstone Creamery. The multi-use area also contains a gas station, bank, doctors office, and small pond with walking path and amphitheater. The city of St. Anthony operates a liquor store in the complex. Walmart closed the Silver Lake Village location shortly after the new SuperCenter opened in neighboring Roseville. Demolition of the existing Walmart building occurred in 2020. Dining Silver Lake Village is also home to various restaurants. The complex includes Chipotle, Leeann Chin, and Caribou Coffee. A Culver's is adjacent to the development also. A new restaurant called Steele & Hops opened in 2022 and provides the area with modern and classic dishes, as well as a heated patio for outdoor dining. Services Located in the mall are other services, such as a Verizon Wireless retailer, salon, including a number of bank branches and health clinics. Entertainment Salo Park, named in honor of St. Anthony's sister-city of Salo, Finland, is located along the eastern edge of the complex, and its amphitheater is home to summer concerts. There are walking paths located near the park as well.
