Ovation is a vibrant mixed-use development in Newport's waterfront community, with striking views of Cincinnati's skyline and endless opportunities. This 25-acre site will have approximately 150,000 square feet of retail, restaurant, and entertainment space, 500,000 square feet of top-notch office space, multiple hotels, 1,000 residential units as a mix of condos and apartments, and access to an exclusive membership social, health, and wellness club. Tenants in the recently completed buildings include MegaCorp Logistics and a 133-room Homewood Suites by Hilton atop a 550-car parking garage.
The Boardwalk Residences, a three-building, mixed-use site comprising luxury residential units with ground-level restaurant and bar space, is currently underway. The Ovation Apartments will be two high-end luxury apartment buildings, each eight stories high, with a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floorplans with abundant amenities, including first-floor retail and restaurant space. Ovation Office I & II provides a total of 500,000 square feet of Class A office with spacious floor plates, great for large corporate users or smaller companies.
Looking toward the near future, the final stages of this defining project will include the membership club, resort pool and spa, and build-ready space for future development opportunities. Illumination Square, a communal hub of activity and gathering, will be at the heart of this development, perfect for outdoor entertainment and community events. Ample and secure parking is planned for visitors and guests, providing well over 2,000 spaces. The Riverfront Commons trail runs directly along the north side of the Ovation development, with direct access to and from the trail. This 11-mile paved trail runs along the Ohio River from Ludlow to Fort Thomas and is perfect for walkers, bikers, and strollers, supporting an active and walkable community.
Ovation is incredibly convenient to all of Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati. MegaCorp Pavilion, a premier concert and event destination hosting live concerts and events to crowds of up to almost 10,000 people, is at the south end of the development adjacent to the site. Consumers will benefit from Ovation's direct access to the MegaCorp Pavillion via a pedestrian sky bridge. Downtown Cincinnati is just across the river, boasting a robust collection of museums, theaters, dining options, parks, public transportation routes, and more. This dynamic development offers prime riverfront visibility and convenient access to Taylor Southgate Bridge and Interstate 471. It is surrounded by a strong, growing community base that will continue to thrive at Ovation's highly desirable, live-work-play-stay destination.
