In the heart of Geelong's revolution: How Ryrie Home takes advantage of its central location
Geelong Quarter is a new lifestyle precinct on the prominent corner of Ryrie and Fenwick Streets. It comprises the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites, the Ryrie Residences, and the completed Ryrie Home, all within a well-connected village.
Positioned just 500 metres north of the foreshore and east of the CBD, Franzé Developments' Ryrie Home provides an unmatched cultural and connected experience in Geelong—one hour from Melbourne.
Much loved for its big city feel without the congestion, Geelong — affectionately called G-Town by the locals — has everything within easy reach for Ryrie Home residents.
Just a five-minute walk from Ryrie Home, the eclectic Little Malop Street is home to some of Geelong’s finest restaurants and fantastic whisky, cocktail, and wine bars. A few minutes further, residents can stroll to the beach for a feast of fish and chips by the water at Geelong Waterfront.
The award-winning Geelong Waterfront, overlooking Corio Bay, is a bustling hub with restaurants, cafés, landscaped gardens, playgrounds, and public art. The famous Bollard Trail along the waterfront is a two-hour hike from the Geelong Botanic Gardens to Rippleside Park. The iconic carousel is a pretty sight along the way, not to mention the picturesque pier.
The Eastern Beach swimming promenade comes alive every summer with enclosed sea baths, diving platforms, and a children’s pool. Meanwhile, the Bellarine Peninsula and Great Ocean Road are only a half-hour drive for those who love chasing the surf on the weekends.
When it comes to lifestyle, culture and entertainment, Geelong also has so much to offer. Westfield Geelong and Market Square Shopping Centre are a 13-minute walk from Ryrie Home, while the Geelong Arts Centre, art galleries, and local theatre companies are a mere 400 meters from the property.
Pakington Street, or Pako, a four-minute ride away, offers exciting nightlife, fine dining, and a trendy bar scene.
For the ambitious set, Geelong is fast becoming an important central business district. With work-life balance becoming a key focus in working culture, more companies are choosing Geelong as their base, creating job opportunities in the region.
For families, education is one of Geelong’s most significant offerings, with reputable schools attracting thousands of Australian and international students each year. Geelong Grammar Bostock House Campus is a six-minute drive from Ryrie Home, while Deakin University, offering over 200 courses, is only an 11-minute walk away.
Other schools within one kilometre include St John's Lutheran School Geelong, St Mary's School, Matthew Flinders Girls Secondary College, Sacred Heart College, and The Geelong College.
Designed by Architectus, Ryrie Home features 109 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments with an exclusive communal rooftop lounge equipped with BBQ and dining facilities overlooking Corio Bay and the Geelong CBD.
Ryrie Home is ready for move-in, with only limited apartments remaining.
