Construction Is Underway on 10-Story Mass Timber Tower in South Australia
Bowden’s $120m 10-storey Flowe tower breaks ground
Construction is underway on the A$120 million (US$82.9 million) Flowe Bowden development in Bowden, South Australia, realestate.com.au reported (11-10-26). The 10-story tower will contain 115 apartments, with more than a quarter secured since the project launched for sale.
Developed by Otello and designed by Fieldwork, the building will offer one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. It will be fully electric, with on-site solar power.
Jaytex Construction will build the tower, combining a double basement and multilevel concrete podium with a CLT superstructure supplied by NeXTimber. The locally sourced timber system reduces the amount of concrete typically required and lowers the building’s embodied carbon.
Completion is expected in late 2028. Otello Managing Director Daniel Harris said reaching the construction stage amid changing market conditions demonstrated demand for well-designed homes.
