North & South Terraces Unlike most buildings of its caliber, Ascent’s cutting edge approach to HVAC removes the systems traditionally housed on the rooftop, making the entire 25th floor into community space with 360 degree panoramic views, including North and South facing outdoor terraces that overlook of the city of Milwaukee and gorgeous Lake Michigan.

Spectacular vistas provide a stunning backdrop for events, meetings, cocktails with friends, barbecues at our rooftop grills, sitting by the fire, enjoying a film at the outdoor cinema, or just breathing in the fresh air away from the noise and bustle of the street.

A Superior Built Environment Humans have an innate connection with the natural world. We are hardwired to respond positively to elements of nature, including plants, natural wood surfaces and flowing water. This instinctive human love of nature is called Biophilia, and it is present in every aspect of the design at Ascent, beginning at our innovative and beautiful concierge desk.

At a time when stress presents one of the most significant health challenges, using the restorative powers of nature in our built environments is a path toward meaningful change. At Ascent, we’re bringing the soothing effect of a walk through the woods to your home. Every surface, every pattern, every angle, has been carefully chosen to maximize the positive biophilic impact for our guests and residents.

Construction with a Conscience Mass timber is the most exciting development in sustainable architecture.

Mass timber uses pieces of wood from sustainably managed fast-growth forests specifically cultivated for forestation. As the trees grow they absorb CO2 from the environment and keep it contained when they are harvested, creating a carbon sink. The CO2 benefit of Ascent is equivalent to taking 2,350 cars off the road each year.

In addition to mass timber’s inherent properties as a sustainable, regenerating material, the process of building with mass timber is faster and requires fewer workers on site. That means fewer emissions from construction vehicles, transit, and machinery. At Ascent, we’ve made significant reductions in the overall carbon footprint traditionally associated with construction projects.

The majority of US forest land is privately owned, and the largest contributor to deforestation in the US is lack of demand for wood products. Living at Ascent supports the health of our forests and helps fight climate change by reducing our carbon footprint.
