A new high-rise downtown apartment building boasting close-up views of Minute Maid Park has officially opened, just in time for the start of the regular baseball season. Catalyst, a 359-unit, 28-story high-rise, marks its debut April 5 and is less than 30 percent occupied, according to leasing manager Brandy Vogel. The apartment complex sits on a city block bounded by Texas Avenue, Austin street, Prairie Street and La Branch Street. It’s the second Catalyst apartment project for Illinois-based multifamily developer Marquette Cos., the first is in Chicago.

The apartment complex sits on a city block bounded by Texas Avenue, Austin street, Prairie Street and La Branch Street. It’s the second Catalyst apartment project for Illinois-based multifamily developer Marquette Cos., the first is in Chicago. Marquette received a Downtown Living Initiative grant equal to about $5.4 million from the city. The program gave $15,000 per unit in tax rebates to downtown developers. In 2017, 1,448 residential units were built, according to the Houston Downtown Management District.

Catalyst features more than two dozen floor plans, ranging in size from a little above 600 square feet to close to 2,000 square feet. Rents start around $1,600 per month, with some floor plans receiving two or three months free rent, Vogel said.

“This 410,000-square-foot property has been vacant since 1989, when the oil giant relocated to a new tower on the western end of downtown”

 

The Developer is expecting to start construction soon and begin converting the 1915 sixteen-story structure into high-end rental residences. There will be 240 high-end apartment units total in the original building with the possbility of over 100 more if the developer decides to built a 28-story tower on top of the parking garage.

New Apartment Construction

Skyhouse Houston Downtown
SkyHouse Houston Downtown 2/15/2014

So much is going up in Houston these days! Every corner I take I see a new luxury apartment building going up. Lots of high-rises. Makes you wonder if perhaps if we are over building. At the moment though Houston is riding the new construction wave and people continue to relocate. In addition, we have people downsizing from their luxury homes to a more care-free lifestyle where they can just lock and go. Some people are in transition and just need a place for a year or less.

I get many calls from international clients needing a temporary apartment because they have a loved one coming to M.D. Anderson for cancer treatment. Some call because they are visiting other major hospitals in the Medical Center for treatment. We have the famous energy corridor and now The Woodlands area is exploding with Exxon Oil employees coming to town, I hear it’s about 10,000. Where will everyone choose to live? 

I’m very happy to be able to help people that need a place to stay in Houston and they rely on my expertise to find them the best place. What satisfaction I get by helping clients make the best choice for their new temporary living spaces. Some people choose to make renting a way of life and they will never buy. Hey that’s okay too!

If you know someone moving to the Houston area and they don’t know where to start, please refer them to me. I would love to help them find the best place to live in Houston and the surrounding areas! Call Margie at (713) 504-5425.
