That's a pretty remarkable amount of investment to cover in a short stroll. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtterlyUrban Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Hmmmm.From the dates of some of these picutures it looks like they are doing about a floor every two weeks? Am I seeing that correctly? If so, is that a normal pace? For some reason, I thought buildings "typically" rise at about a floor per week. For those of you in the business, is there a "sorta-kinda-ballpark" generally accepted target like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Town Man Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I imagine lower floors are slower because they're less uniform. But I'm not in the business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that last photo is about a week old...however, they are going a floor every 10 days or so at the moment. They are still doing the parking garage portion so I think things will speed up when they get to the actual residence floors. Garage floors always seem to go slower. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate99 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 That looks like a very flat, very blank wall. What's that side going to look like? Not a towering wall of concrete right? The renderings show a ~7 story low-rise section with an amenity deck on the East side. Foundation columns are there, but they have not started to build up to keep pace with the tower. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Huge Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yeah Monarch, they've really picked up the pace.I wonder how visible this will be in the skyline from the Gulf Freeway. Will it stretch the skyline past the severe dropoff at Chase Tower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinsanity02 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 The Catalyst is approx 60 ft shorter than the Marriott Marquis ( according to Emporis). How visible is the hotel from the Eastex or Gulf freeways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinsanity02 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 From a construction cam at U of H ( new basketball arena) the Marriott is visible.

bobruss Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The roughly 24 story courthouses stretch the skyline north so Im sure that the Catalyst will do the same for the northeast quadrant of the city. If they build the residential tower next to Jacksons barbecue just north of Minute maid that will really stretch the skyline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Is the crane's arm long enough to reach the midrise portion, or is there another crane going in later?Tower crane is right in the middle of the project, it's on the eastern edge of the high rise so it will be able to reach the whole block. I don't think a second tower crane will be added. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
