In 2006, Kenwood Investments purchased The Aquarium of the Bay, located at Pier 39 in San Francisco. Kenwood Investments worked closely with the venue's landlord, the Port of San Francisco. During Kenwood Investments' operation and ownership of The Aquarium, the business’s profitability and value grew substantially. In 2010, Kenwood Investments transferred its ownership to the Bay Institute, a San Francisco non-profit in a private merchant banking transaction.

Kenwood Investments worked closely with the Port, the San Francisco mayor’s office and the Board of Supervisors, as well as a myriad of federal, state and regional agencies and organizations to help save this landmark business.
