100 Years of Boswell

Boswell’s Real Estate Ventures

Throughout all of its operations, a guiding principle has been to find the highest and best use of any given resource. In 1958, sensing a change in the value of Arizona land as farm ground, J. G. Boswell stepped into real estate with the launch of its commercial real estate division. One of its first big wins was Sun City, a master-planned retirement community developed in partnership with Del Webb, who was also part owner of the New York Yankees at the time. Boswell helped create the original concept, and Sun City remains one of the most successful retirement communities ever built. Building on that success, Boswell developed Interlocken Business Park, which is centrally located between the cities of Denver and Boulder in Colorado. This project became a major hub for business and is still one of the most successful commercial developments in Colorado’s history. In 1986, Boswell turned its attention to San Diego County, developing East Lake, a master planned community. With 11,000 homes of all varieties, the company expanded on its knowl edge and experience of residential real estate. East Lake was a huge hit, even earning the title of San Diego’s best new home community for several years. From planned communities to large-scale busi ness parks, J. G. Boswell’s real estate projects have helped shape communities across the western United States. It is a lasting part of the company’s legacy and a testament to its forward-thinking approach to growth and development.
