Ovation – LIVE – WORK – PLAY – STAY
Your Opportunity is Now!
Ovation’s growing mixed-use destination includes the Homewood Suites by Hilton, Market Bar, and the High Note Rooftop Bar, where glasses are raised under open skies and the city lights of Cincinnati become the backdrop. At MegaCorp Pavilion, concerts and events continue to draw crowds from across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, making Ovation a true entertainment and lifestyle hub for the region.
Ovation is also a place designed to be experienced. CASA — Color, Art, Sound, and Architecture — is the design philosophy woven into every corner of the development, ensuring the community feels beautiful, warm, and intentionally unexpected at every turn. Five original murals are installed throughout Ovation, turning everyday moments into something worth pausing for. This is a neighborhood that was built to engage you, not just house you.
At Ovation Office 1, the business community is equally alive. St. Elizabeth Primary Care and Podiatry is already seeing patients, bringing trusted, convenient healthcare right into the heart of the development , a sign of just how much is taking root here.
Located at the confluence of the Ohio and Licking Rivers in Newport, Kentucky — just minutes from downtown Cincinnati — Ovation is a walkable, mixed-use waterfront destination where residents, visitors, and the community come to life. Drawn together by the water, the energy, and the sense that they’ve finally arrived somewhere worth staying.
A limited number of luxury riverfront condominiums remain available. There will only ever be a finite number of homes built at this location, overlooking two rivers with the best view of Cincinnati’s skyline. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
