Meet The Developer

Joseph “Joe” Emmett, a real estate developer, CPA, and seasoned traveler, began visiting Aruba many years ago with his wife Marilyn. They were mesmerized by the people, culture, natural beauty, and perfect weather that the island of Aruba offers. After many visits, a friend introduced them to the less developed side of the island and the stunning blue waters of Rodgers Beach. They were taken with the serenity and tranquility that this quieter side of the island offers. Recognizing an opportunity to develop this “best-kept-secret destination” in Aruba, he purchased the lots where The Water’s Edge stands today. Over the years, his relationships within the Aruba community have deepened and his dream has come to to fruition to build luxury homes on an exclusive piece of Aruba property.
