A San Francisco businessman involved in the development of Treasure Island has purchased the Aquarium of the Bay at Pier 39 from a French company after a bidding war with, among others, Orlando-based giant Ripley Entertainment Inc.

Darius Anderson, the owner of Kenwood Investments, confirmed Monday that he bought the 65,000-square-foot aquarium from BNP Paribas, a French banking and investment firm, for an undisclosed sum."
