Stage 2 of the $1 billion Bowden development has been released to the industry, providing developers with another chance to secure premium parcels of land following a sell out of Stage 1.

The second land release comprises two parcels of land on Seventh Street, which will be offered as groups of Torrens Titled allotments for three-storey terrace homes.

Prospective purchasers have until 3pm on Tuesday, 28 August 2012, to submit their offer which will be evaluated by the Urban Renewal Authority and its Design Review Panel to ensure the project’s high architectural benchmarks are met.

Mr Conlon said construction activities at Bowden are progressing well, including civil works for residential dwellings and the creation of the first public park between Fifth and Sixth Streets, which will formally open this spring.

The first off-the-plan apartment and terrace sales also remain on track to be released to the public in late 2012.

Situated on the north-western edge of the Adelaide Parklands on the former Clipsal and Origin industrial sites, the Bowden development is South Australia’s first large-scale, integrated urban development.

The development will eventually comprise more than 2,400 homes for approximately 3,500 new residents over 15 years and provide opportunities for new and expanding businesses within a vibrant, walkable community close to the city.

The Bowden Information and Sales Centre on Park Terrace is open seven days a week from 10am-4pm and features interactive exhibits for visitors, including a large model and virtual tour of the development.
