"I first met Paul when buying a retail center from him on behalf of my employer at the time. The transaction, between friends, had a number of moving parts and Paul navigated them with integrity and professionalism. During due diligence, I realized that his records were meticulous. Across the course of that deal, in the documents and in our interactions, it became clear to me that Paul was the rare creative thinker whose ability to see the big picture is complemented by a thorough attention to detail. Three years later, I consider Paul a friend and would add that, in addition to being a talented real estate developer, he is a truly kind person."
