Duveneck Square Apartments is an ambitious urban infill project between Seventh and Eighth Streets in Covington, Kentucky, along Washington Street. This mixed-use development enhances and preserves the character of Covington’s historic neighborhood, offering a balanced mix of residential, retail, restaurant, office, and parking facilities. Adjacent to Braxton Brewery and near Hotel Covington, Duveneck Square is at the heart of Covington’s cultural and social scene, adding vibrancy to this rapidly growing area.
A Partnership for Urban Transformation
The Cincinnati-based Northpointe Group selected Viox & Viox to provide critical land surveying and civil engineering services to help bring Duveneck Square to life. Our work began with Phase 1, which opened in 2018 and laid the foundation for urban living and community engagement. Services during this phase included grading, sanitary sewer and storm sewer connections, water main installations, public agency approvals, and coordination with other design professionals.
Phase 2: Expanding Duveneck Square Apartments (2019–2020)
Building on the success of Phase 1, Phase 2 expanded Duveneck Square Apartments across Washington Street and required enhanced surveying and civil engineering services. Key tasks included topographic surveys, subdivision platting, and updating the storm sewer system. The site was reconfigured to support multi-family buildings, requiring utility realignment and stormwater management upgrades, including an underground detention system.
Navigating Permitting and Compliance
Viox & Viox facilitated the complex permitting and approval processes required for a project of this scale. Our team managed permit revisions with local agencies, ensuring the project met regulatory standards, including zoning, land disturbance, and environmental requirements.
Supporting Covington’s Urban Renaissance
The completion of Duveneck Square’s Phase 2 marks a significant milestone for Covington, contributing to the city’s growth and urban renewal. Through our work on this project, Viox & Viox remains dedicated to creating spaces that blend seamlessly with their communities while meeting modern needs for infrastructure and design.
