Im ok with it. It will help kickstart development in this area for more dense living. Not every building will be beautiful. It isn't even that ugly, just busy. When more buildings start joining the street it wont be as noticable

Exactly. I don’t know if they chose the name Catalyst for that reason, but it is apropos.

The flood in the building in September has been very costly. Originally, people were supposed to move in last October. Now it appears that it will be sometime in the spring. I would imagine the insurance claim and resulting battle has been ugly.

I noticed tonight the little white strips you see on the sw corner where beside the windows (the brown paneling is) was lit up. Looked alright.

Considering it’s been one of the forum’s whipping boys, the final product is okay.

I'm surprised how slowly this one progressed, even though Centron's high rise (Oliver) progressed quite fast.

A couple of years ago if somebody told me there were wall systems that could be prefabbed and brought over to site, I would’ve thought these six story wood frames to go up quickly, but they’re slower than concrete builds.
I’m assuming they don’t have enough people on site to compete with time sensitive concrete builds.

Construction fencing is gone and the sidewalk is usable again.

Unfortunate architecture, but at least it’s the type of project we need to see more of along urban arteries.

Agreed. The choice of materials aside, it's a win. It's 100 times better than what was there before.

Move ins have started and the green bin is now gone. Finally the road and sidewalks no longer have any restrictions.
