The 43-home, four-storey Bowker Collection is conceived as a contemporary classic of distinctive craft and quality, graced with the intimacy of a quiet neighbourhood and the convenience of three commercial villages and Willows Beach within walking distance.
A mixture of heritage and modern elements, Bowker is perfectly situated in its established Oak Bay surrounds. The collection offers one and two-bedroom-plus den suites, premium residences, townhomes, garden homes, terrace homes and penthouses perfectly connected by a private secret garden.
Completion slated for summer of 2020.

We have some friends looking to buy a house in the Oak Bay area but someone told them that any improvements to the property, inside or out, over $500 needed a permit.
Anyone know if there is any truth to that?
Beware asshat staff in the buildings/permits dept. If the work is inside and not structural avoid them.
I did a skylight and roof window that didn't change the envelope and not very visible from the street. I know about it and my neighbour knows about it so make sure any neighbours are onside.
Inspector Clouseau won't show up unless its hugely visible or a neignbour finks on you.
nobody likes a finking neighbour.
That's a stereotype. I lived next to Roger and Gail Finking for several years. I didn't like them, but the family who lived across the street seemed to think they were tolerable.
So what's the deal with the restaurant in this place? Anybody been there?
