In stasis for much of the last two years, the World Trade Center Denver project in the city’s RiNo district took a big leap forward this week when new partners signed on to co-develop its office and hotel towers.

Groundbreaking on the 2.1-acre site at the northwest corner of 38th and Walnut streets is now expected to happen before the end of the year.

Formativ, the Denver-based mixed-use developer leading the project, announced Wednesday it signed up Chicago-based Golub & Co. to co-develop the 14-story, 350,000-square-foot office tower there. A division of investment banking giant Goldman Sachs will be the lead equity investor in the $180-million project that will include an above ground parking garage with more than 600 spaces, according to Formativ.

“We’re incredibly excited about having Golub & Co. as our partner,” Formativ CEO Sean Campbell said. “They opened an office here in Denver last year and we’re really excited to be working on these projects with them.”

Big money continued pouring into next week’s special election on a controversial growth cap measure in Lakewood, with total contributions for both sides of Question 200 now sitting just shy of $470,000.

The vast majority of that total — approximately $451,000 — has been collected by the five issue committees set up to defeat the measure, which would cap annual residential growth in Lakewood at no more than 1 percent of existing housing stock. Opponents of Question 200 now hold a nearly 25-to-1 fundraising advantage over the measure’s backers, who have brought in just over $18,000 to support their efforts.

The deadline for filing the latest campaign finance reports with the city clerk was Tuesday.

Lakewood United, the largest of the issue committees opposing Question 200, has now collected $310,000 in monetary and in-kind contributions, including $200,000 from the National Association of Realtors and $25,000 from the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.

You know what we'll need before long? Scooter lanes.

Go ahead and chuckle. I'll wait.

OK, let's continue.

The other night, I saw a man in a dark gray suit and a woman in a long red dress riding scooters on the sidewalk along North High Street in Clintonville. (It doesn't really matter what the two were wearing, but good details really make a story, no?)

Anyhoo, these two well-dressed scooter enthusiasts were zipping along in front of the Wendy's restaurant, paying…
