Daniel Libeskind to Open First U.S. High Rise on March 26th

    COVINGTON, Ky., March 20 /PRNewswire/ -- 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."
