<h3>R.Iconic: A Lifestyle-First Masterpiece in Melbourne</h3>

When considering purchasing a property at R.Iconic, it’s impossible to overlook the development’s unique blend of luxury, lifestyle, and location. This landmark project by R.Corporation isn’t just a residential offering—it’s a complete lifestyle experience designed for discerning buyers who want it all.

Michael Searle from R.Corporation sat down with Urban.com.au CEO Mike Bird to discuss what makes R.Iconic such an outstanding choice for buyers. Here are the key highlights that capture why this development stands out in Melbourne’s competitive property market.

<h3>1. Breathtaking, Protected Views</h3>

Step onto the balcony of any R.Iconic residence, and you’ll be greeted by sweeping views of Port Phillip Bay, stretching to the Mornington Peninsula. Unlike many inner-city properties, these views are protected by zoning regulations, ensuring they remain unobstructed for life.

This not only enhances the day-to-day experience for residents but also secures the long-term value of the property—making R.Iconic an investment as stunning as it is practical.

<h3>2. Unmatched Location</h3>

R.Iconic offers the best of Melbourne living. Just 1.5 kilometres from Collins Street, it’s a short tram ride or walk from the city centre. Meanwhile, the beach, South Melbourne Market, and world-class dining are minutes away, creating a perfect balance between urban convenience and beachside tranquillity.

As Michael Searle explains, “You’ve got this sort of inner-city living, but with a beachside feel. You’re close to all the culture, dining, shopping, and sporting events that Melbourne is famous for, while still enjoying a quieter, more relaxed neighbourhood vibe.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5234 project_image_fid=215077]

<h3>3. Lifestyle-Enhancing Amenities</h3>

At R.Iconic, luxury goes beyond the walls of each residence. The development boasts a suite of amenities designed to enhance your lifestyle:

<ul>
	<li>A year-round heated pool and sauna</li>
	<li>A fully equipped gymnasium and running track</li>
	<li>A cinema and dining pavilions</li>
	<li>An acre of gardens designed by Paul Bangay on the fifth floor</li>
	<li>A convenient on-site Coles Local and Liquorland</li>
</ul>

For premium residents—those in the penthouses and townhouses—the Horizon Lounge offers an exclusive retreat with 270° views, a full kitchen, and a luxurious space for hosting special occasions.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5234 project_image_fid=233906]

<h3>Luxury Residences Tailored to You</h3>

R.Iconic offers a range of luxury residences, each designed with sophistication and comfort in mind:

<ul>
	<li>
	Penthouses and Sub-Penthouses 
	These stunning homes, priced between $2.1 million and $6.3 million, offer 140 to nearly 300 square metres of living space. Elegant interiors by David Hicks feature Gaggenau appliances, marble finishes, and sunlit balconies with panoramic views.
	</li>
	<li>
	Townhouses 
	Inspired by Melbourne’s iconic Victorian terraces, these three-level homes offer private street-level entrances, double garages, and the same high-end finishes as the penthouses.
	</li>
</ul>

Each residence is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, from the spacious hallways to the high ceilings and premium finishes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5234 project_image_fid=298021]

<h3>A Completed Project You Can Experience</h3>

One of the standout advantages of R.Iconic is that it’s already complete. Buyers can visit the development and experience the quality, layout, and lifestyle firsthand—something that’s often difficult to imagine from renders alone.

As Mike Bird noted during his tour, “The width of the hallways, the height of the ceilings, and the overall design speak to the thoughtfulness and quality of the development. R.Iconic has prioritised buyer needs, delivering a product that truly stands out.”

Auction clearance rates have firmed further in Sydney and Melbourne as many more buyers seek out the early winter offerings, ahead of the likely seasonal listings hibernation.
Auctioneers across the east coast capital cities reported a continued spike in auction bidder registrations that has hastened following the federal election outcome.
Two LJ Hooker auctions in Sydney attracted more than 20 registered buyers. And at Hurlstone Park in Sydney's inner west, so many buyers registered that Richardson &amp; Wrench ran out of bidding paddles for the four-bedroom period home at <a id="LPlnk721593" class="x_OWAAutoLink" href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/https://hurlstone-park.randw.com.au/residential-for-sale/0000407516" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable">8 Mill Street</a> that went $200,000 past the reserve to sell for $1.655 million.

Its pre-auction publicity attracted some 40 registered bidders for a house deemed so unliveable that none were allowed to inspect inside.
The Brisbane dump at <a id="LPlnk453102" class="x_OWAAutoLink" href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/https://raywhiteeastbrisbane.com.au/properties/residential-for-sale/qld/marsden-4132/house/2107878" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable">47 Birch Street, Marsden</a> attracted an opening bid of $120,000 which rose quickly to $230,000, when it was declared on the market.
It sold to an owner occupier looking for a project.
Its marketing photos published by Ray White East Brisbane agent Ryan McHarg showed the three-bedroom brick house on Brisbane’s south side had kicked-in walls in every room, graffiti inside and out, fire damage in the bedrooms, along with missing floorboards and brickwork.
A community organisation which provides lower cost housing for Indigenous community members bought it in 1988 for $78,000.
The two largest auction markets, Melbourne and Sydney, both saw their preliminary clearance rates rise; coming in at the mid-60 per cent mark, however volumes were lower week on week in the first weekend of winter.
A 66.1 per cent preliminary clearance rate was recorded across Sydney this week, making it the best performing capital city according to preliminary CoreLogic results.
It comes off the back of last weekend’s 62.1 per cent final clearance rate which was the highest Sydney has seen in over a year.
The nation's top weekend sale was $5.51 million in Mosman through LJ Hooker Avnu agent Michael Coombs.
The deceased estate sold for $1.01 million above reserve with <a id="LPlnk968613" class="x_OWAAutoLink" href="https://avnu.com.au/our-listings/4-balmoral-avenue-mosman-nsw/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable">the five-bedroom house at 4 Balmoral Avenue</a> on the market for the first time in 67 years.
There were eight registered bidders who competed for the 608-square-metre holding.
Domain reported there were 13 registered parties when a four-bedroom deceased estate at nearby <a id="LPlnk327783" class="x_OWAAutoLink" href="https://www.ogpartners.com.au/buying/NSW/North-Shore-Lower/Mosman/House/1P2066" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable">28 Lang Street, Mosman</a> sold for $2,635,000 to an upsizing family who intend to renovate the Federation house. The reserve was $2.2 million.
Only five got to bid with the other prospective buyers including developers, first-home-buyers and investors. It was offered for the first time in four decades.
There were slightly fewer homes taken to auction across Sydney this week with 674 auction held, down from the week prior when 707 auctions took place.
Sydney auctioneer Tom Panos saw bidding from around five parties interested in <a id="LPlnk442671" class="x_OWAAutoLink" href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-lewisham-131138958" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable">40 Morton Avenue</a>, Lewisham which sold under the hammer for $1.41 million, $130,000 above the $1.28 million reserve.

David Servi of Spencer &amp; Servi had listed the two-bedroom, two bathroom apartment which has 172 square metres of floorspace, including the rooftop terrace with city skyline views.
The apartment that sits in a BKH Architects-designed complex with an outdoor pool and gym was being offered for the first time since completion.
It was a $1400 a week rental in 2017.
The quarterly levies sits at $5000 a quarter.
Domain economist Trent Wiltshire said the weekend results were a sign the Sydney market could be close to a turning point.
“Clearance rates are now at their highest point in over a year, and other signs also point to renewed buyer interest – more people are attending open for inspections and auctions and more people are inquiring about home loans,” Mr Wiltshire told Domain.
Wiltshire said although some headwinds remain, notably a sluggish economy and tighter lending conditions, most indicators point towards Sydney and Melbourne’s house price falls "ending this year.”
Brisbane's top sale was an acreage 30 minutes from the CBD at 76 Molle Road, Ransome, a modern seven bedroom five bathroom house.
<a id="LPlnk402809" class="x_OWAAutoLink" href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/https://www.mcgrath.com.au/buy/house/qld/brisbane-east/ransome/397709" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable">It secured $1.65 million</a> through McGrath agent David White.

The lower volumes saw the preliminary auction clearance rate rise to 61.5 per cent after last week’s 57.7 per cent final clearance rate, which was the highest final weighted average result in over 12 months. 
Over the same week one year ago, a higher 2,281 homes were auctioned, 54.1 per cent of which sold.
Melbourne returned a 64 per cent preliminary auction clearance rate across 733 auctions, after last week’s final clearance rate fell just short of 60 per cent (59.6 per cent).
Melbourne's top sale was $3 million in Camberwell when a five bedroom 1900 home at <a id="LPlnk270150" class="x_OWAAutoLink" href="https://fletchers.net.au/24004/60-brinsley-road-camberwell" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable">60 Brinsley Road</a> was sold.

The three level penthouse atop the Harry Seidler-designed The Cove in The Rocks has been listed for sale.
The Cove was one of the legendary architect's last Sydney residential projects.
The 2004-built skyhome, one of the largest penthouses in Sydney, has been owned by Europe-based businessman Graham Hellier, who paid $10 million in 2006 when it was sold by receivers after creditors foreclosed on the mortgage fraudster Kovelan Bangaru.
The apartment had been stripped back by aggrieved tradies who'd not been paid.
Hellier spent around $3 million refurbishing the space which comprising 485 sqm internal area and 180 sqm of terraces. 
Commanding a $7,500 a week rental in recent years, the 43rd floor glass wrapped lounge and dining zones offer 270 degrees views of the Sydney harbour backdrop. There's an imposing staircase up to four  bedrooms and a rooftop terrace with a spa pool.
McGrath Edgecliff agent Craig Donohue has the listing which has $30,000 quarterly strata levies.

Apartments of this ilk are not a common occurrence across Melbourne.

Offered the opportunity to visit Orchard Piper's freshly completed penthouse atop their Washington Street development in Toorak, Urban.com.au jumped at the chance to view what is now Melbourne's newest entrant in the ultra-luxury apartment living stakes. Urban.com.au was guided through the development by Orchard Piper's Luke McKie, who along with Rick Gronow spearhead the development firm.

Whilst the other five dwellings that constitute Washington Street have been sold, the 1,000sqm penthouse has been held back by the development team with the expectation that the final product would effectively speak for itself.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/image6wash.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Living area and outdoor terrace"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="387" src="/sites/urban.melbourne/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/image6wash.jpg?itok=0fB2Ydd3" title="Living area and outdoor terrace" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Living area and outdoor terrace</figcaption></figure>Washington Street's penthouse is split between 580sqm of internal living and 420sqm across multiple external terrace spaces. It may not have reached such ample proportions if not for Luke McKie moving into the existing property and befriending the neighbouring land owner.

Far from the stories of internationally-backed developers swooping on prime sites and developing almost immediately, Orchard Piper initially secured two adjoining properties and played a long game whereby a third adjoining site was eventually added to the development plot over the course of a year.

The then larger site encapsulating 27-31 Washington Street was taken to planning, reflecting Orchard Piper's penchant for high-end developments in blue-chip locations.

Enter Melbourne-based studio Jolson. Washington Street is the fourth collaboration between architect and developer.

It's a successful relationship that Luke McKie describes as being based on a gentlemen's agreement in that despite there being no format agreement, the two choose to utilise one another almost exclusively. This is the case as both parties have a near identical ethos to quality design and project delivery.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/image4wash.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="A bathroom like no other"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="387" src="/sites/urban.melbourne/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/image4wash.jpg?itok=k8nXf3O9" title="A bathroom like no other" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>A bathroom like no other</figcaption></figure>Upon touring the finished penthouse it becomes apparent that the attention to detail is (and needs to be) astounding for a project of this nature. 

From computer generated programs that modelled a sole aspect of the dwelling countless times until the entire team found consensus, to the depth of research undertaken both domestically and overseas, or simply sitting in the shell pondering vistas and orientations, it is a process of analysing every aspect of the design and build to the enth degree.

Far away from the repetitive towers that dot the skyline, it's the immense attention to detail in this one penthouse that fosters a feeling of craftsmanship in the finished product which for all intensive purposes is an elevated home. Coupled with underlying themes such as space and proportion, security, natural light and amenity, Washington Street does deserve a ‘one of a kind’ status.

Having previously had experience with the likes of Mirvac and working on such projects as The Melburnian, Luke McKie explains that the detailing within the Washington Street penthouse simply has no peer. For the record, the penthouse is split into two wings by a central gallery hall, and includes a gymnasium, pool, sauna, exercise studio, private garage with separate lobby, dedicated lift access, a 1,300 bottle wine room and cigar bar.

Surrounded on all four sides by gardens, Washington Street's penthouse interior features travertine stone, timber floors, polished plaster walls and bronzed metal detailing. Eckersley Garden Architecture account for the landscape design whilst custom touches are added by New York's Lindsey Adelman Studio and Murano glass maker Venini.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/image3wash.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Washington Street's penthouse pool with city views"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="387" src="/sites/urban.melbourne/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/image3wash.jpg?itok=u-Mp3AWW" title="Washington Street's penthouse pool with city views" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Washington Street's penthouse pool with city views</figcaption></figure>Luke McKie has flagged an existing Toorak resident as the likely buyer of Washington Street's penthouse. He believes the 1,000sqm penthouse will meet the expected sale price of $20 million, or $20,000 per square metre, which is not uncommon in Toorak.

Beyond successfully completing Washington Street, Orchard Piper's nous for high-end projects will shift to Armadale, where a 2,000sqm land plot at 35 Huntingtower Road is in their sights.

Simply dubbed Huntingtower, the project will consist of 10 Jolson-designed oversized residences across two levels. Two and three-bedroom dwellings are in the offing; internal areas ranging between 160 to 370sqm whilst private outdoor spaces peak at 215sqm. 

Once more Orchard Piper hopes to tap into buyers from suburbs immediately surrounding Armadale.
