      Great place to live in the heart of Charlotte

      Great place to live in the heart of Charlotte! Lived here for over a year and have 0 complaints. The leasing office is so friendly and accommodating to their tenets. The concierge staff is extremely helpful and always willing to assist in any questions you might have. Their gym is a decent size and has basic equipment. Their pool is lovely and a great place to spend the hotter days in Charlotte. Their elevators do get crowded during certain times of the day but nothing major. Loved living here and would recommend their 2 bedroom apartment for roommates, couples, or a small family.

      Not Recommended

      Big increase in rent but amenities, maintenance, and services remain below subpar. Age old amenities, recently kitchen sink supported by wood planks literally fell off, filthy old hallway carpets- last renovated probably decade ago. Very poor management, no empathy towards residents (see other resident reviews) . Recently they towed my brand new car registered by their leasing agent as a second car with an RFID tag yet management towed it from an empty parking floor in 'non' reserved space cause it took up another space. AGM Chrissy (very rude) knew it's a resident's car by the RFID tag yet towed it w/out even a courtesy call - let that just sync in. Absolutely not recommended, they thrive making your life miserable- terrible management and unsafe environment.

      3/11/23
      Arrogant management

      The apartment and location hands down is great. Lack of empathy though. Here is a case Due to a technical issue on the app my auto pay got cancelled which I didn’t get notified. Coz if this not at my fault the rent was paid 4 days later than the cutoff and I was charged $ 75. They had sent an email on the last day of cut off directly stating you are now gonna be charged late fee. Basically without my fault but issue on their rental app I was fined. When I brought this to managements notice there was no consideration. I would have agreed with them if I missed to pay rent at my mistake but this is absolutely taking advantage.

      Wonderful experience of front service people

      Catalyst is a wonderful place to stay during my client visit to charlotte for bank of america. The front service lady "Domanique" is a wonderful person i have ever met in my life. She is helpful generous and a real time helping friend of mine. She understands people very well about diff culture diff customs. She is a true friend and a generous person i have ever met in charlotte. Whenever i need of any help no matter what the one person i could approach is Domanique. She tries all her means with her sweet kind and pleasant awesome behaviour that she is ever ready to help us. I hope my stay in charlotte will be smooth for another 5 weeks as i had for past 2 weeks. Thanks Somdatta Apartmnt #1715
