GARY LEE
Gary Lee
Principle
In 2004, Gary founded AREE Developments, with a goal to deliver “timeless pieces”: high-quality yet affordable townhomes for discerning families.
Gary spent the first 15 years of his career in various fields of civil engineering from design and construction supervision at Ministry of Transportation and Highways of B.C., to project and construction management at Maunsell Consultants Asia, the largest global engineering consultancy practice in infrastructure. Building residential homes was at first a personal hobby, when Gary built his first house in 1994. After completing multiple projects he eventually realized this was where his passion and specialty lies.
