Our History

Bill Bowness founded Wilbow Corporation in 1976 and grew it to be one of Australia’s largest privately owned property development companies across residential subdivisions, housing and apartments, retail shopping centres, industrial office parks and retirement facilities. The Australian portfolio was sold to a public company in 2006.

Following the sale, Wilbow Group was established as a family-owned investment house, with its head office in Melbourne and offices in Dallas and Houston, Texas.
