The project, call "Esplanade," also includes a 12-foot deep manmade lagoon and a Ferris wheel.
The 2-acre lagoon would be the first in the world with the capability to convert from a summertime attraction where people can swim, kayak and paddleboard to a frozen skating rink in the winter, according to a news release from the company.
