About Us

In the picturesque town of Lumby, BC, Aspen Lands Advisory emerged onto the scene in 2017. James and the team at Aspen bring a wealth of expertise in the land development industry, spanning from crafting master-planned communities to the intricate realms of civil engineering and service design, to development management and consultancy.

Over the years, we’ve been dedicated to supporting municipalities through the intricate development review processes and collaborating on a variety of planning exercises alongside dedicated staff, innovative developers, and passionate landowners. Our commitment to excellence and growth didn’t stop there.

Fast forward to September 2022, a pivotal moment in our journey. We proudly welcomed Erika Kretchmer to the firm as the Vice President of Operations, reinforcing our mission to provide top-tier advisory services. Since then, our firm’s growth has been nothing short of remarkable.

Today, we’re a dynamic team of professionals, with Tobi McNeil, Sr. Real Estate Advisor and Development Manager and Stephanie Leforte as our Project Manager & Finanial Administrator. Lee-Ann Tiede has recently joined us as our Office Administrator and Project Support. Each team member brings their unique strengths and skillsets, which, when combined, allow us to offer tailored solutions and exceptional service to our valued clients.

Aspen Lands Advisory is more than a consultancy; we’re your trusted partner in bringing your land development dreams to life. With passion, expertise, and dedication, we’re here to make your vision a reality.
