Project Delivery Method

Project Summary

Paul Hemmer Company delivered the OneNKY Center, a five-level mixed-use development in Covington, Kentucky, constructed over a structured parking podium. The 45,000+ SF facility includes four stories of office and assembly space above a one-level parking garage, serving as a modern hub for regional economic development and community engagement. The project required complex structural coordination, fire-rated separations between occupancies, and integration of office, assembly, and parking uses within a tight urban footprint. The result is a highly functional, code-compliant, and architecturally distinctive facility that supports both workplace efficiency and public-facing programming.
