Description
The Ascent at Roebling's Bridge is a 22-story residential building in Covington containing 70 condominium units ranging from 88 to 650 square meters (950 to 7,000 square feet). The structure features a sloping eastern face toward the Ohio River and Cincinnati skyline, along with amenities including a swimming pool and garden facilities.
History
The tower was commissioned in 2004 by architects Daniel Libeskind and GBBN Architects, with completion in March 2008. The project represents a modern addition to the waterfront district, building on the area's earlier industrial heritage.
Culture
The building's name references its location near the historic bridge, and residents experience a direct connection to the waterfront's past through the structure's contemporary design language.
Practical
The building sits directly on the riverfront and offers easy access to Covington's waterfront area for visitors. You can view the exterior architecture and enjoy views of the Ohio River and Cincinnati skyline from the surrounding public spaces.
Did you know?
The exterior features a glass curtain wall with vertical bands designed to provide natural shade and privacy for residents while creating a dynamic visual pattern. This interplay shifts throughout the day as light angles change, giving the facade a living quality that contrasts with the static bridge structure nearby.
