Bowden is redefining the way people live in Adelaide.
Contemporary apartment buildings, walkable tree-lined streets dotted with fresh street art, bike trails, a pedestrian bridge to access the city and public transport are all part of the vision being realised.
Since Renewal SA acquired the site in 2008, Bowden has begun its transformation into a vibrant inner-city destination blending history and culture with high quality architecture and sustainability.
Bowden redefines space and living, building a community where people can live without a car yet stay connected in every way. 3,500 residents will soon call this place home, availing themselves of the cafes, restaurants, shops, offices, parks and gardens on their doorstep.
This is a charismatic, commercially-viable neighbourhood where flexibility is key to addressing market shifts and demographic changes.
Each day Bowden offers a ‘life more interesting’, providing an innovative residential precinct for all to enjoy.
History
Established in 2008.
In 1839, James Hurtle Fisher named Section 354, ‘Bowden’ after his native village in Northamptonshire.
In those days, Bowden offered affordable housing options to workers in local industries. Pubs, a police presence, The Royal District Nursing Society, sporting clubs and churches were established. Gerard Industries built their first factory and began the mass production of their revolutionary adjustable conduit fittings, the ‘clips all’.
In 1863, the Brompton gasworks was established and more employment opportunities became available for residents. Local industries flourished with the availability of clay and water from the River Torrens. Brickmaking and glassworks reduced the colony’s dependence on imports. Many of these businesses continued well into the 20th century with some still operating today.
After the Second World War, many local industries expanded dramatically, encouraged by improved economic conditions and the enterprising policies of the State Playford government.
