Construction workers placed the final steel beam on top of the OneNKY Center — the soon-to-be home of Northern Kentucky’s regional growth organizations. Several politicians and regional leaders were on hand at the “topping off” ceremony, where they gave their remarks regarding the building’s construction progress and what its inevitable completion means for Northern Kentucky. Attendees included Corporex Chairman Bill Butler, Kenton County Judge/Executive Kris Knochelmann, Covington Mayor Joe Meyer, state senators Chris McDaniel (R-Ryland Heights) and Shelley Funke Frommeyer (R-Alexandria), and State Rep.
Stephanie Dietz (R-Edgewood). “I think this building is a sign of the fact that we can do great things when we cooperate and work together,” Knochelmann said. The OneNKY Center is located at 209 Greenup St.
in Covington at the foot of the historic John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge. As of now, the building lacks its signature glass facade, which is showcased in the project renderings.
The concrete “bones” of the structure, all three floors and the 44-space underground parking garage are finished. Fort Mitchell-based Hemmer Construction is the project’s general contractor. Covington-based Corporex was chosen as the project’s design-build contractor.
The building is expected to be completed in 2025. While St. Elizabeth Healthcare owns the land underneath the OneNKY Center, the Northern Kentucky Port Authority owns the actual building.
