A giant hole grabs attention on Main Street in Covington. The Enquirer/Melissa Reinert River Haus, a five-story luxury apartment building with first-floor retail – now under construction at 501 Main St. – is set for completion in 2019. "With the amount of business growth in Covington in the last several years, there is a tremendous demand for housing, particularly urban housing," Covington Economic Director Tom West said. So, Covington put out a request for proposals for two acres of property at Fourth and Main streets, the tip of Covington's MainStrasse. MainStrasse, perhaps one of the most popular areas in the city, is a mixed-use area with homes, apartments, condos, small retail shops, a wide range of restaurants and bars, and two city parks. Indianapolis-based Flaherty & Collins Properties answered the call. River Haus will have 192 luxury apartments. Monthly rent will range from about $1,000 to $3,000. Amenities include a courtyard with fire pits and pool, a sky deck, a pet wash, gaming and study lounge, and a 24hour fitness center. There will also be a two-story parking garage for both residents and public. Resident applications, according to lead developer Deron Kintner, will be accepted around early this fall and move-ins are expected to start in winter. Kintner said Faherty & Collins is close to signing a lease with a business that will be a "great addition to MainStrasse."
