PaulsCorp (PAULS, also operating as The Pauls Corporation) is a privately held, family-controlled real estate investment, development, and capital management firm headquartered in Denver, Colorado. Founded by William B. Pauls in 1989 and formally organized in 1993, the company operates a vertically integrated platform spanning acquisition, entitlement, design, construction, leasing, property management, and asset management across industrial, office, residential, and land development in 22 cities across the US and Canada. Brian D. Pauls serves as President and oversees investment activities, with William B. Pauls as Chairman.

Since 1993, PaulsCorp has developed, operated, and maintained more than 15 million square feet of industrial warehouse space, 3.2 million square feet of office, 2,200 acres of land, 1,700 for-sale residential units, and 12,660 for-rent residential units, managing over $5 billion of assets cumulatively. The company's product set spans Class A industrial parks (Gateway Park, Greenwood, Lone Mountain, Mountain Creek, SouthPointe), Class A office (100 Saint Paul Street in Cherry Creek, Denver), luxury and Class A multifamily communities (Station A, Blu Harbor, Indigo, ArtHouse, VIA), condominiums and townhomes (Laurel Cherry Creek, One Marina, Princeton, One Ecker), single-family homes (Strasburg Residential), and mixed-use masterplans (the 77.7-acre Aline District near Denver International Airport with 1,530 for-rent residences).
