Developer Details

Bowen Island Properties has been involved in building communities, creating new neighbourhoods, and constructing homes on Bowen Island since 1988. Its passion and vision, shared with equally passionate community groups and individuals, have helped to create the cherished communities of Cates Hill, major parts of Cowan Point, and the emerging community of Seymour Landing. All of which have helped to shape much of the island as it is today, and will continue to shape it.

Not only has Bowen Island Properties built a solid reputation as a developer and home builder, they have also helped to create and been part of some of Bowen’s most prominent gathering places (Village Square, Cates Hill Chapel, Rivendell Retreat, Artisan Square, Bowen Island public golf course) and educational facilities (Island Pacific School, The Children’s Centre, and Tir-na-nOg Theatre School).

Like the entrepreneurial pioneers of the past, Wolfgang Duntz and Daron Jennings (managing partners of Bowen Island Properties) share in the belief that Bowen Island is a “jewel yet to be discovered”—a unique place with all the natural beauty, safety, and tranquility that only an island can provide, and yet remain conveniently connected to one of the world’s most desirable cities.

Bowen Island Properties will remain true to its passion of being part of building an island community that rests solidly on the lasting principles of sustainability that are applied with joy, wisdom, and integrity.

“Our purpose is to create neighbourhoods where people love to live.”

Bowen Island was originally a seasonal hunting ground of the Squamish peoples who lived and travelled throughout Howe Sound. Snug Cove is one area of Bowen Island that was utilized as a hunting and gathering camp by the Squamish peoples. In the Squamish language the name for Bowen Island is Nexwe’lexm.

The Spanish arrived on Canada’s west coast in 1791. They named many land features including Bowen Island, which they called Isla de Apodaca. However, in 1860 George Richards, with the British Navy, renamed the island after Rear Admiral James Bowen.

The late 19^th century saw homesteaders building permanent homes along with a brickworks factory on Bowen Island, which supplied material to the growing city of Vancouver. Different industries continued to grow on Bowen including logging, milling and some mining. Despite Bowen Island’s industrial past, it has very much become a bedroom community with no heavy industry.

During the 1900s Bowen Island saw the arrival of the Horseshoe Bay—Bowen Island Ferry in 1921, provided by the Union Steamship Company. The company operated a resort on the island and needed a means to transport guests back and forth from the mainland. The resort shut down in 1960 and growth on the island slowed for a period of time. Towards the end of the 20^th century population growth on the mainland resulted in many individuals moving to Bowen Island to escape rising real estate prices and population pressures. In 1999 the Bowen Island Municipality was formally recognized, as the main governing authority over the island.
