"My association with Paul dates back to the late 1980's. He is an "out of the box" thinker. As such, working with him allowed me to realize more of my potential, which had a significant impact on the success that I achieved with Carr Commercial. Over the years our combined efforts resulted in millions of dollars in both cost savings and profits for the partners/owners of the properties of which he was the manager/GP. I know Paul to be loyal, honest and a great "family man". He is a hard worker who puts the interests of his partners and clients before his own. I am grateful for the opportunities that came my way because of the association."

Rich Carr

"In 2003, we had the very good fortune of acquiring a commercial property in Colorado Springs from Paul Cohen. It was a great pleasure for us to have had the opportunity to meet such a wonderful person and to do business with him. We wish all sellers had his level of integrity and high standards."

"I have enjoyed collaborating with Cohen Commercial Properties on several design projects. Not only does Paul simplify both the planning and implementation processes, but he consistently exhibits the highest level of integrity and professionalism. I find him to be an invaluable and integral part of the design team and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again."

"Paul and his partners have been Griffis/Blessing Commercial Property Management clients continuously since the early 1990's. He has worked with many of our different management teams over the years - always with a positive outcome for the ownership entity, management team, tenants and contractors. Paul has proven himself a very savvy commercial property investor, in both good markets and bad, over the past twenty years. I wholeheartedly endorse Paul to anyone considering partnering with him on any type of investment; Paul is not only a great investor but a great guy."

Caleb Brewer

President, Peak Management and Sales Crested Butte, Colorado (Property Manager)

"Paul Cohen is an unusual combination of savvy business man and principled owner. Integrity, reliability and trustworthy are too unique but all combined in his ventures. Once "the deal" is closed he continues to be your partner for success. Paul creates a win for your company while keeping the property prime; be prepared for a whole new relationship when you choose Cohen."

"I have worked with Paul for twenty-five years and I know him to be extremely ethical, trustworthy, conscientious, committed, creative, analytical, logical, bright, well educated, knowledgeable, personable and an effective leader and manager. His educational and professional background is in the fields of law, business, management and real estate. His superb skills in these areas give him the capability to attack and resolve almost any challenge. Furthermore, he is selfless and has devoted much of his life to helping others and improving the environment. He has a strong commitment to excel in whatever he endeavors and in his personal health and well-being. Furthermore, I have known of Paul's philanthropic activities and of his long-time goal to be of service to children and adults in underdeveloped areas. He has a passion for helping others, and he is very serious and committed to also excel in that endeavor. He tends to excel in everything he does, from business to human service to athletics like biking, sailing and skiing. I totally trust Paul, have made him trustee of personal trusts, and do not hesitate to strongly recommend him for a position with your organization."
