about pinnacle

Meet Phil Bowman,
founder of Pinnacle
Land Development

Phil Bowman is the founder of Pinnacle Land Development, bringing over 20 years of experience in the building and real estate industry. As a full-service developer, he works closely with clients through every phase of a project, from pre-construction and design through construction and completion.

Construction and development

A foundation built through experience

Phil graduated from Colgate University in 2002 with a B.S. in History before beginning his career in Boston with Berry Construction, where he worked as a Project Manager on large-scale healthcare, life science, and education projects. After five years, he returned to Connecticut and founded Pinnacle Land Development in 2008, later expanding with Pinnacle Real Estate in 2021.

His work spans custom residential homes, commercial development, full building renovations, and resale projects throughout Connecticut, with a focus on adapting building practices to meet both client needs and environmental considerations.

A commitment to quality, service, and long-term results

Phil is committed to providing the highest level of service throughout every phase of a project, with a focus on communication, craftsmanship, and long-term results. His credentials include being a Licensed Builder and Home Improvement Contractor in Connecticut and Massachusetts, a licensed real estate broker, and a certified Green Professional through the National Association of Home Builders.

He is also a member of the Connecticut Green Building Council and has been featured in Modern Home Builder and Connecticut Homes for Sale. Beyond his work, Phil has served on the Town of Cheshire Public Building Commission, the board of the Cheshire Community Food Pantry, and as a volunteer coach for the Cheshire High School varsity football team.

Credentials and involvement

our mission

Pinnacle Land Development approaches every project as a working partnership, taking the time to understand each client’s needs and priorities.

Pinnacle Land Development believes in a working partnership with clients, which starts with taking the time to understand the clients’ needs and values. We apply experience, process, design thinking, craftsmanship, and communication to every job. We care deeply about guiding customers through the building & development process to optimal results, while also being cost conscious.

Pinnacle Land Development also believes in building for the future, striving to implement green building practices, energy efficiency, and technological integration as often as possible. In our efforts to be a sustainable real estate development company, we strive to integrate environmentally conscious construction practices along with environmental and human friendly design.

In an effort to offset the use of natural resources required in land development and building, Pinnacle Land Development has made reforestation in North America a part of our business model. Through the organization One Tree Planted, we’ve committed to planting 100 trees for every new home we build. Our homes are primarily constructed using Douglas-fir lumber sourced from the Pacific Northwest & Canada and One Tree Planted allows us to target both that area and that specific tree in fulfilling our tree planting commitment. We care about the environment and endeavor to be conscious of how we impact the world around us.
