AEM began land development in the Southwest Missouri market in 2000. Cobble Creek Subdivision was our first project, located in Nixa, consisting of 287 single family lots developed in four phases. In the same year, AEM acquired and began development of the 203 acre mixed-use community called Jamestown, located in Rogersville, east of Springfield. All design, engineering, approvals, and infrastructure construction for Phases I & II have been completed to date with Phase III to be completed in summer 2009. A separate project located in Rogersville, called Liberty Square Townhomes, has been designed, engineered, and approved for 188 Duplex-Style Patio Homes. AEM also owns and manages two subdivision developments in the Kansas City area as well as two large mixed use developments in North and South Dallas, Texas.

The cities surrounding Springfield and Kansas City, Missouri and Dallas, Texas are the targeted areas for bedroom communities with rapid growth possibilities. AEM's objective is to find raw land in the path of growing communities. The high multiples of value obtained when unincorporated, agricultural land is fully annexed, zoned, and accepted at an instant by a municipality give a distinct competitive advantage to the developers of that master planned community. AEM has built upon the success formula that land adjacent to expanding cities and in the path of growth offers a lower risk and higher reward than fill-in sites in existing municipalities.

AEM was incorporated under the laws of the state of Missouri in February 2000.
