Just 35 minutes from downtown Vancouver, via passenger ferry, Bowen Island is a world away from its bustling, cosmopolitan neighborhood. Deer and birds thrive in its woods. Seals, bald eagles, sea lions, and – once in a while – even whales can be spotted off its coastal bluffs. Along the island’s many trails, Arbutus, seaside juniper and wildflower meadows bloom. And the scenic vistas offer panoramic views of the surrounding islands.
Now, on 618 acres at the southwestern tip of the island, the Cape On Bowen is a newly launched community offering 59 estate home sites, which slope upward from more than two miles of coastline to the forest above.
“The vision for The Cape On Bowen aspires to coexist in harmony with the natural environment as we think this will build a strong sense of community as home owners share experiences unique to the area,” says Edwin Lee, president of the Leeda Developments Group, which is developing the community in a joint venture with the Trans City Group of Companies. “With spectacular views, wild terrain and oceanfront, this is a very unique community.”
At the heart of its new ocean front neighborhood is the iconic Cape Roger Curtis Lighthouse. The 10-acre ridgetop and waterfront estate home sites are located along some of the last remaining portions of undeveloped shoreline in southern British Columbia. The south facing property enjoys more sun, for more of the year, than most of the surrounding region.
Ekistics, planners of Whistler's Athlete Village during the 2010 Winter Olympics, have drafted the design guidelines for the Cape on Bowen. RareEarth Project Marketing and Sea to Sky Premier Properties, an affiliate of Christie’s Great Estates, are conducting the sales and marketing of the $118 million development. Average price of home sites is $2 million. For more information, please visit
