Catalyst Urban Development

Catalyst was founded on the belief that truly successful urban development requires skill in the creation of memorable places, customized finance, and public/private collaboration. Since 2009, this combination of expertise has resulted in Catalyst’s development of over $300M in urban housing, mixed-use and transit-oriented projects, its collaboration with over 45 public and private entities, and its procurement and facilitation of over $2.6B in debt and equity. The success of these efforts is rooted in Catalyst’s dynamic team of proven professionals having over 50 years of collective experience and a 12 year working relationship. In addition to his oversight of Catalyst itself, Mr. Rutherford is closely involved in the Catalyst team's development, financial procurement, and strategic planning efforts.
