Denver Central Market, other RiNo tenants press landlord on security after break-ins, assault

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:14:00 GMT

Shortly before close one night in mid-November, Kim Danner, manager of Gerard’s Pool Hall in RiNo, stepped outside the business to make a call.She didn’t see anyone when she looked around. But within a minute, Danner said, a man approached her as she sat on a ledge.“I could tell pretty quickly he was mentally ill, but that’s a super common occurrence, so I didn’t run away,” Danner told BusinessDen. “I just figured I wouldn’t interact with him.”The man, Danner said, crouched down in front of her — “his face was about an inch from mine” — and yelled at her to “get the f*** out of my space.”“I said, ‘Guy, I’m just sitting here. I’m just sitting here by myself,’” Danner recalled in early December.“Then he punched me, closed fist.”The incident happened in an alley that is owned, like the pool hall’s building and most others around it, by Edens, a national landlord specializing in retail real estate. The firm has spent $100 million in the last five years on properties within a handful of ...

Rethinking Water Sustainability: NeptuneChain’s Mission Beyond Quantity to Tackle Quality Crisis

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:14:00 GMT

In a world constantly grappling with environmental challenges, one company is on a mission to redefine how we approach water sustainability. NeptuneChain, a water quality trading platform, goes beyond the conventional focus on water quantity to address the critical crisis of water quality.NeptuneChain’s journey began with a common goal – increasing water quantity through desalination. However, founder and CEO Jacques Jean’s foresight led the company to pivot. The realization struck that the emphasis should not solely be on having more accessible water but, more importantly, on having cleaner, healthier watersheds. Desalination, while addressing quantity, neglected the essential role of water quality.The repercussions of water quality neglect heightened in towns like Flint, Michigan. It became evident that prioritizing quality over quantity was paramount. NeptuneChain’s strategic shift acknowledges that the health of our water bodies and the communities they sustain...

Warriors’ Steve Kerr on Jordan Poole’s return: “I hate the way it ended”

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:14:00 GMT

San Francisco — All eyes will be on Jordan Poole in his return to San Francisco on Friday night when his Wizards take on his former team for the first time since the Warriors traded him to Washington.In his four years with Golden State, Poole made his biggest leap as a key contributor in the Warriors’ 2022 championship run, but wound up an unwitting figure in last season’s dysfunction when Draymond Green punched him during a training camp practice. Coach Steve Kerr expects an ovation for Poole from the Chase Center crowd, but those tuning in for the nationally televised game will be watching for Poole’s revenge.“I really look at Jordan has a huge success story,” Kerr said. “It doesn’t happen often that the 28th pick works his way up to a key player on a championship team. Life-changing contract, it really couldn’t have gone any better.“I hate the way it ended. It’s really unfortunate how it all played out. You just wish that things could end on a more p...
