about cowan point
Our vision for Cowan Point is to create a new neighbourhood on South Bowen which includes:
- 173 residential units with housing types and styles to fit a variety of lifestyles,
- 9-hole public golf course,
- 20-room inn with restaurant/pub,
- golf course clubhouse,
- public waterfront park at Seymour Bay,
- extensive public trail network that links the golf course with surrounding residences,
- covenants for environmental protection of creeks, coastal bluffs, raptor trees, and wetlands,
- small commercial centre,
- pedestrian ferry from Seymour Bay to downtown Vancouver,
- waterfront retreat.
The Cowan Point development is located at the southeast corner of Bowen Island (see a satellite image showing the location). The development and golf course covers an area of approximately 200 hectares (500 acres). The first phase of development includes 48 lots (22 in Phase 1A and 26 in Phase 1B).
The first phase of Cowan Point is completely sold out, and properties in the Phase 1B subdivisions are currently available for sale (see Properties for Sale).

House for sale at 967 Cowan Point Drive. Remaining properties in Phase 1 available for sale. For details, see Properties for Sale.
A new section has been added to this website regarding the Rezoning Application to transfer density from the Parkview Slopes of the Cates Hill Development to the Seymour Landing area at Cowan Point.
