We exist because we have a passion to create. We create community; we create place. Every neighborhood is developed with the care and detail that we believe makes a difference to our builders, homeowners and the cities we are privileged to work with.

Leading The Way
In so many ways, a community is like a quilt. The best are as colorful as they are beautiful, as inviting and warm as they are durable. And the best are all surely unique – their size, shape and texture a considered response to their setting and purpose. It is to each opportunity then that we bring a mindset open to promise and possibilities.
Building Reputations
That people make the difference is cliché, certainly, but what is equally certain is that they are the foundation and fuel behind Wilbow’s success. The consistent and surprising quality of each and every project, regardless of size or cost, is owed to a rigorous dedication to research, forecasting, and scrupulous attention to details. And the results consistently distinguish Wilbow people and projects from any other in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
William Bowness established Wilbow Corporation in 1976 which grew to be one of Australia’s largest privately owned property development companies, with interests in Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland (NZ), and Dallas. The Australian interests were sold to a major public company in 2006 and Wilbow Group was formed to be an investment company that focuses on investments in private and public equities, property development funding, and Wilbow’s USA property development operations in Dallas.
Bowness is a great believer that a successful company is built by developing a strong team. Experience has shown that it is not necessarily people with the theoretical training but also those with initiative and the capacity to successfully put that training into practice that achieve success. He believes that quality development is very important and has always pushed Wilbow down this path. This direction has proven to maximize profits if done correctly.
In addition to his role as chairman and CEO of Wilbow Group and Wilbow Corporation, Bill has been an active philanthropist and has made sundry contributions to the Australian community over the past 30 years including serving as chairman of the Monash Gallery of Art and a member of the National Defence Housing Board.
Larry Corson joined Wilbow Corporation in 2014. He is responsible for the strategic direction of the company, land acquisition, capital relationships, and the financial and administrative aspects of Wilbow's operations.
Corson has held key leadership positions in real estate investment and development for over three decades. Most recently, he was director of residential development for Cooper & Stebbins, where he was primarily responsible for the development of the Garden District, a luxury residential enclave of brownstones and condominiums located within Southlake Town Square, the internationally acclaimed mixed-use development located in Southlake, Texas. Corson was also the president and CEO of Crescent Resources, senior vice president of Hunt Realty Investments, and principal with Westbrook Partners. Earlier in his career he held positions with J.E. Robert Company, Trammell Crow Ventures, and Jones Lang Wootton Realty Advisors.
Corson earned an MBA in finance from Columbia University and a bachelor of science degree in accounting from High Point University. Corson is a full member of the Urban Land Institute, where he currently serves on the Red Flight of the national Recreation Development Council, as well as serving as an assistant chair of the local Community Development Council in North Texas.
