Once a part of electrical
manufacturer Clipsal and SA
Gas, Bowden combines this rich
heritage with urban aesthetic
In many ways, Bowden has transformed since 1839 when James Hurtle Fisher named Section 354, ‘Bowden’ — after his native village in Northamptonshire. But in other ways, not much has changed at all.
Bowden boasts now, as it boasted then, a strong cohesive community working hard for the growth and betterment of Adelaide and the state of South Australia.

Equivalent to 32.5 soccer pitches. Bowden is being transformed into a vibrant inner-city destination. Overlooking the parklands to the north-west of Adelaide, Bowden is a new generation development leading the way in ‘ground- breaking’ ideas.

Bowden encourages people to come together and builds on the sense of community, just like in years gone by. One of the many advantages is that it encourages neighbours to bump into one another and further strengthen their relationships.

Design & Architecture
Inspired architecture with a nod to Bowden’s rich history of workers’ cottages and city-founding industries – like the first gasworks, brickmaking, glassworks and electrical manufacturing is everywhere you look.
Six influential Australian architects review all of the residential, retail and commercial developments to ensure our streetscapes put people first.
Only great architecture sees the light of day, thanks to uncompromising standards and Bowden’s Design Review Panel.
