The proposed development by Aqua Ark LLC, of Rye, N.Y., aims to include a variety of retail, restaurant and event spaces along city-owned land within Riverfront Park adjacent to the Mortensen Riverfront Plaza at 300 Columbus Blvd. Aqua Ark President George Bryant on Tuesday said the complex would be built on land-based floating technology that it’s leveraged in recent projects in Europe. The “amphibious” promenade would be able to float and rise upon the water during flood conditions, he said. “This is a preliminary vision, but the elements of the technology have been done before,” Bryant said. “Everything we are looking at has been accomplished some place else.”
