About the Project: NEWPORT ON THE LEVEE
Newport on the Levee overlooks the Ohio River and the Cincinnati skyline to the north. The project features the Newport Aquarium, a movie theater, restaurants and retail shops. The center is actually built over several levels of below ground parking. James Burkart Associates, Inc. developed the plazas with strategically placed street trees in suspended vaults within the parking garage below. Careful consideration had to be given to the architectural design and layout to allow for shallow planting pockets. The street level plaza is utilized as an auto arrival court with valet parking attendants. The space is highlighted by a interactive pop fountain. James Burkart Associates, Inc. was responsible for development of, landscaping, irrigation and the motor court fountain.
