Our Company

"We partner with professionals who share our vision. The result is a well-planned community meeting the needs of all its residents."

As a child, Paul Robben loved building things. After training as an engineer (Seaton Hall engineering scholarship recipient K-State 1977) and later receiving his CPA, he worked as Chief Financial Officer for a local home building and development company. Learning the business from the ground up, Robben gained knowledge in all aspects of community development.

Envisioning communities that preserved nature while offering homeowner functionality, he started Woodstone Homes in 1990. His first development, Overland Park's Arlington Place, sold out in less than one year. He acted as developer, builder and sales agent, handling every aspect including cleaning the model homes when necessary.

In less than 15 years, Robben has garnered a reputation as a community visionary with integrity. His credentials speak for themselves:

• Certified New Home Sales Professional (CSP)
• Certified Graduate Builder (CGB)
• Kansas City Home Builders' Association (KCHBA) - President, Secretary, Treasurer, Past President, Governmental Affairs Chairman and Build-PAC Chairman
• National Association of Home Builders - National Director
• Urban Land Institute member
• Mid-America Regional Council - Cost of Development Committee
• Overland Park Watershed Development Task Force Committee
• Fannie Mae Partnership Advisory Committee
• KCHBA Builder/Developer of the Year
• Over 20 additional awards from KCHBA for home plans and designs

His 20 neighborhoods in Leawood, Lenexa, Overland Park, Shawnee, Olathe and Lee's Summit are home to over 2,000 families. He continues to break status quo with groundbreaking neighborhoods successfully marrying homeowner desires with responsible land usage.
