Our Team
Mike Keefer, Lead Visionary
Michael never thought he would become a land developer until 2017 when he found the Aspen Grove property for sale and had a vision when he walked the land. Having observed many land developments through the perspective of a sustainability expert he is generally under impressed by what has been achieved. Based on this, he figured that it was long-overdue that a project be advanced from the environmental perspective and that this was the perfect property and Rossland the perfect community.
Michael is greatly enjoying the creation of the Aspen Grove project through the collaboration and interaction with engineers, architects, other green building professionals and potential purchasers to create the project. Aspen Grove is the ideal opportunity to put the environmental sciences from Keefer Ecological Services together with the creative process of designing a new part of a neighbourhood to meet housing needs.
