608 Madison Ave. Office Renovation

under construction

A development team is converting a historic building complex at 608 and 610 Madison Ave. in downtown Covington into speculative office space. The project includes renovating a four-story, 20,000-square-foot Italianate building and a conjoined two-story Classical Revival building. The renovation involves a $4.25 million investment, including acquisition, construction, and tenant improvements. The project aims to create 75 full-time jobs with an annual payroll of around $2.25 million. The Haile Foundation has leased the entire second floor, moving in early 2026. The project includes storefront window replacements, new retail entrance, exterior lighting, and other facade improvements, partly funded by city incentives and historic preservation tax credits.
