Challenge

1. To build 265 apartments across five buildings with significant amenities (3,100 SF clubhouse, pool) within Ballpark Commons, a mixed-use sports/entertainment district, amid pandemic supply chain headwinds.
2. Required coordination with Ballpark Commons developer (Mandel Group) and Franklin officials, including establishing a TIF district for financing.

Solution

1. Catalyst Construction served as Construction Manager, delivered the project 14 months ahead of schedule, navigating supply constraints (e.g., refrigerators shortage) through agile construction and logistics.
2. Developed amenities-rich living with features catering to active lifestyles: clubhouse, pool, and positioned for walking/biking access to nearby sports and entertainment.

Impact

• Fully leased quickly upon availability, enabled by its prime Franklin location and design focus on active lifestyle.

• Served as a catalyst for neighborhood growth via Ballpark Commons, helping drive up area property values and tax base through TIF support.
• Reinforced Catalyst’s reputation for delivering large-scale multifamily housing with amenities on accelerated timelines under challenging conditions.
