ATLANTA, Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Through a joint venture, Campus Realty Advisors has started construction of Catalyst, a new purpose built student housing community adjacent to the campus of Georgia Tech in West Midtown Atlanta.  The community will cater to students at the University.  The project is expected to be completed and open for occupancy for the start of the Fall semester in 2021.
