A major milestone in Bowden’s transformation from a former Clipsal factory into a neighbourhood on the fringe of the city has been reached with the first residents now moving in to their new homes.
Bowden demonstrates South Australians are ready to embrace quality, architecturally designed, higher density living.
“Walkable tree-lined streets dotted with fresh street art, bike trails, parks and innovative housing designs are all part of the appeal.”
The first homes to be completed are:
- 56 Seventh Street Bowden – 16 one and two bedroom apartments built by ACDEV
- Loft on Seventh – 12 three-storey terraces built by Systembuilt
- Terraces on Sixth – six three-storey terraces built by Rivergum Homes
- Bowden Seven – 16 one, two, and three bedroom apartments built by Rossdale Homes.
The land can accommodate three or four apartment buildings of between four and eight storeys, where a developer is expected to build up to 250 apartments in several stages.
The site-on-offer could generate about 300 jobs at Bowden and in the supply chain during construction.
Bowden features exciting retail and commercial spaces, an innovative public realm with shared streets and great parks in addition to existing tram, train and bike and cycle links to the city.
