Charlotte NC, The Catalyst Condominiums

Posted On: September 19, 2008 By: admin

The new 27 story building going up in the Third Ward, the Catalyst Condominiums, is promising to be one of the most innovated sites in Charlotte. The name chosen for the project signifies that the building will be a literal catalyst for the re-development of the Third Ward. The building will contain 462 units, one and two bedroom, sitting on top of 20,000 square feet of retail space when it is completed in 2009.

The Catalyst Condominiums will combine the old and new aspects of the Third Ward, with plenty of green space, to create an ideal place to live and work. There will be a 5.5 acre urban park right out the front door. The hope is that this park will attract special events, festivals, and concerts to become the heart of the community.

The cherry on the sundae seems to be a new innovation called HALO (Home Automation Lifestyle Organization). Think of it as a concierge or a personal assistant. The builders, Novare Group, have promised HALO to be the latest in technology.  It is a state-of-the-art system that allows the homeowners to interact with their home, the building, and the community.

HALO is an easy efficient system that works on a PC, laptop, or any wireless device with internet capabilities. It will connect residents to all kinds of information, from home maintenance scheduling to having your dry cleaning picked up to dinner reservations. It can also monitor your home environment from heat to water conservation. Sounds like a great way to ease some of the stresses in running your daily life.

Besides HALO, the Catalyst Condominiums will have an outdoor living area, pool, 1,600 square ft. fitness center, media room, club room with floating bar, gaming area, and gas grills. All these great amenities along with the great location will allow the resident one of the best urban environments around.
