The Ascent photo update, 7/15/08

Since the Ascent at Roebling's Bridge is pretty much wrapped up, I thought I'd explore the building from ground level.

The building is extremely cold at ground level and doesn't relate to its surroundings in any way.

And despite being connected to a bridge spanning two states (and a future neighborhood), it completely lacks pedestrian connectivity.

In short, it has been designed to be easily entered and exited by automobile.

Designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, Corporex built the $55 million, 22-story condo tower at the foot of the Suspension Bridge in Covington.
