When it comes to finding the perfect place to call home, location is everything. R. Corporation's latest development, R.Iconic in South Melbourne, is setting a new standard for urban living.

Nestled in an evolving pocket of South Melbourne, the completed Plus Architecture-designed development offers residents a unique opportunity to experience life in a "15-minute neighbourhood".

Prime Park Front Location

One of the standout features of R.Iconic is its prime park front location. Situated in a tranquil enclave between Port Melbourne and South Melbourne, the development is surrounded by low-rise residential buildings and restricted height zones, with a 10-hectare park stretching all the way to the beach.

R.Iconic is the only building that offers protected, endless views of both the water and the city, creating a serene oasis in the midst of urban hustle and bustle.

Unmatched Accessibility

Residents of R.Iconic will enjoy unparalleled accessibility. Within walking distance of South Melbourne Market, residents can pick up your morning coffee and explore a treasure trove of fresh produce, or stroll down Clarendon Street, home to fashion and homewares boutiques that cater to every taste. And when it's time to dine, residents have a choice of the latest eateries on Bay Street.

For those who love the beach, Port Melbourne Beach is a short walk away, making it easy to enjoy a morning run or a leisurely day in the sun. And when the evening arrives, the neighbourhood comes alive with a multitude of acclaimed bars and restaurants, ensuring there's always something to do right on your doorstep.

The Vibrant South Melbourne Lifestyle

R.Iconic embraces the vibrant South Melbourne lifestyle. It's not just about the convenience of having everything residents need within arm's reach; it's about becoming part of a thriving community where every day is an adventure.

Whether you're an art enthusiast exploring Melbourne's Arts Precinct, a foodie savouring local delicacies, or a fitness enthusiast making the most of the nearby parks and fitness facilities, R.Iconic puts it all within easy reach.

The Power of the '15-Minute' Neighbourhood

At the heart of R.Iconic's appeal is its alignment with the concept of the '15-minute neighbourhood.' R. Corporation understands the importance of living in a place where daily needs are met within a short walk or bike ride. Here, residents can step outside their front door and catch the light rail, which connects directly to Southern Cross train station. Whether you choose to walk, bike, or drive, everything you require is just a 15-minute journey away.

Surrounded by well-maintained bike paths, R.Iconic encourages residents to embrace Melbourne's active cycling culture. Whether you're commuting to work, meeting your fitness goals, or simply taking a leisurely ride to the beach, residents will find that staying connected to the entire CBD, South Melbourne, or the shoreline is effortless.
