About the SouthShore Condominium Tower

SouthShore is a 21-story condominium tower on Newport's Ohio River shore, named for its place on the river's southern bank. It welcomed its first residents at the end of 2008 and was the first high-rise built in Newport. The tower has about 60 residences, and it was laid out so that every unit faces north toward the river and the Cincinnati skyline. When the city closes the Newport floodwall, residents can still leave through the building's own floodgate.
