The entire 25th floor features a 360-degree community space with two outdoor decks. The stunning rooftop offers panoramic Lake Michigan and downtown views with lounge seating, fire pits, and grills; inside, a lavish community room awaits with suspended fireplaces, catering kitchens, a staffed bar, arcade, conference rooms, golf simulator, artist’s studio and shared workspaces.

The aesthetic is driven by exposing ~50% of the mass timber structure, but Ascent is more than just a super-amenitized timber building. The enterprise-level smart tech integrates with the building’s state-of-the-art VRF, radiant hydronic HVAC, elevators, common areas, and all access controls. With vibration, moisture and temperature sensors, Ascent is a technological powerhouse.
