Covington, KY, Mar. 18, 2008 – World renowned architect of The Ascent at Roebling Bridge, Daniel Libeskind, will join Developer William P. Butler and Governor of Kentucky Steve Bashear at the upcoming Grand Opening Ceremony at The Ascent at Roebling’s Bridge. Other guests of honor will include Ascent home buyers who embraced Daniel Libeskind’s vision of adding a masterpiece of residential architecture to the skyline of Greater Cincinnati. The event will feature the creation of a time capsule that will include contributions made by Greater Cincinnatians, as well as Daniel Libeskind, so that future generations may understand the intent and direction of those that directly changed the region’s skyline, for generations to come.

Just as Covington, KY’s Roebling Bridge was the prototype for New York’s Brooklyn Bridge, The Ascent at Roebling’s Bridge will be the new benchmark for residential architecture in the United States. “The Ascent is no longer an artist dream or a sophisticated buyer’s unmet need,” said Tom Banta, President of Corporex, the developer of The Ascent at Roebling’s Bridge. “The Ascent is proof that residential architecture can be art on a grand scale. Success required teaming an architect of vision like Mr. Libeskind and a Developer with a strong sense of community and a commitment to innovative construction like Corporex. We are honored that so many Cincinnatians have expressed such great appreciation for the extraordinary effort that has gone into building The Ascent. It is truly a new jewel in our skyline.”
