About Blue Water Development
Mission
Blue Water is raising the standard of excellence and innovation in real estate development and hospitality with every entity brought on board.
From humble beginnings to rapid growth, with deep family ties, Blue Water is privately held, family owned by father and son, Jack Burbage, and Todd Burbage. Passionate about land conservation and smart development, Todd & Jack strike a good balance between respecting nature and creating spaces for people to enjoy the beauty of nature for years to come.
To date, Blue Water owns, manages, or develops campgrounds, hotels, marinas, and attractions, with properties throughout the Northeast, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Oregon, Montana and Tennessee.
Blue Water has been creating elite assets and exceeding guest expectations since 2007 and are always building our portfolio.
