About Us
60 Years of Building to Win
For 60 years, Corporex Companies has been shaping skylines and enriching communities through visionary real estate development. Founded in 1965 by Bill Butler at the age of 22, Corporex has evolved from a one-man construction shop and regional builder into one of the nation’s leading privately held investment and development firms. Headquartered in Covington, Kentucky, the company has a distinguished history of developing world-class hotels, Class A office spaces, luxury residential properties, and mixed-use developments across more than 22 states.
From a Builder of Buildings to a Builder of Businesses
At the time of our founding in the 60’s, Corporex was a leader in constructing buildings. As pioneers of the design/build method of project delivery, Corporex built manufacturing, distribution, and service facilities throughout the Midwest.
As Corporex grew, both in terms of size and geography through the 70’s and 80’s, the company evolved from a builder of buildings to a builder of businesses – constructing speculative office buildings, hotels, and sports clubs. While the investment in the physical structures remained important, the focus shifted to the investment in the talented people necessary to build and manage these businesses.
With a hands-on attention to detail and a focus on exceeding customer expectations, Corporex has grown into a leading, nationally recognized real estate development company.
