Paul Franklin
When Paul Franklin moved to Steamboat in 2003 after a successful development career in Chicago, he was only planning to stay for a year. Thankfully for the local skyline, he fell prey to the Yampa curse and now calls Steamboat home. While in Chicago, Franklin developed several mixed-use, multi-unit projects, including ventures in historic Oak Park and along Lincoln Avenue. He's applied that same award-winning attention to detail in Steamboat, with project highlights including the 20-lot Elkins Meadows and 31-lot Aspen View Estates along Fish Creek Falls Road. He's also responsible for Hayden's 51-lot Valley View Business Park, which is credited with helping re-shape the town. Developed by Franklin's 5th and Yampa LLC, the 41,000-square-foot Olympian project in the heart of downtown represents a return to his roots after his highly regarded land projects. "In all my projects, I strive to create a look today that will continue to look good 100 years from now," he says, adding that he stresses creativity and functionality in his designs.
