As one of Sydney's first planned suburbs, Rosebery was created to accommodate expansive industrial workplaces in 1911.

Despite the&nbsp;once working-class suburb experiencing a transformation of its industrial warehouses into food and beverage hubs which has drawn peoples attention to Rosebery, there's been little activity in the new and off the plan apartment space, with land for a new development difficult to procure.

Rosebery ticks a lot of boxes for buyers. Its proximity to the city, just six kilometres and several transport routes to accomodate that, is one of the major drawcards, as is the distance to the University of New South Wales, just the other side of Moore Park.

One of the most recent entrants to the new and off the plan apartment space in Rosebery is The Rothschild by renowned developer Deicorp.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106843 project_image_fid=221673]

The Candelapas-designed apartment development is ideally located at 24 Rothschild Avenue, just six kilometres from Sydney’s city centre and within walking distance of the best Rosebery offers.&nbsp;

The Rothschild's design reflects the industrial heritage of Rosebery, but with European influences.&nbsp;The Rothschild is made with bricks, with the facade curtained by circular columns, arches, and cascading greenery.

Two eight-level buildings will home 176 apartments, multiple outdoor areas, a communal music room and a ground-level retail space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106843 project_image_fid=221666]

Residents can access the private landscaped rooftop gardens and the communal courtyard to relax, interact and play while enjoying quick access to the nearby Sweetacres Park.

With all the amenity options within The Rothschild, residents can enjoy the ground-level restaurant and café beneath the residential apartments. The East Village Shopping, Woolworths Metro Rosebery and Wholefoods House are all within walking distance of home for retail conveniences.

The Rothschild is just 550 metres from The Cannery, which really lit a spark under the suburb as a place to visit.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106843 project_image_fid=221672]

Housed in a revived warehouse space, The Cannery brings together food, drinks and designer homewares, with vendors such as Three Blue Ducks, Koskela and Archie Rose Distilling Co featured in the building, while popular favourites like Messina, Pizza Da Mario and Grandma’s have also made a home for themselves in the burgeoning suburb.&nbsp;

The Rothschild is located just across the road from Sweetacres Park, a green outlook rarely found in an inner-city suburb.

Construction on The Rothschild is well underway, with completion slated for early 2025.

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.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5234 project_image_fid=215077]

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.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5234 project_image_fid=215071]

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

It was 2020 when longstanding Brisbane developer Pikos Group snapped up one of the best sites in Brisbane for its next residential project.

The 2,230 sqm site, atop the Kangaroo Point cliffs on the corner of River Terrace and Main Street, was picked up from international hotels group Banyan Tree.

Pikos went about making amends to what was already proposed. They brought in Conrad Gargett to create two 13-level buildings joined by a sky bridge.

Skye Residences will home just 68 luxury apartments which have been designed to take in views of the city skyline and the Brisbane River.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90059 project_image_fid=218023]

The site is unrepeatable because of its corner position at the top of River Terrace. Nothing can be built in front of it, given its prime spot opposite Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park, while anything built next door or further down the street will unlikely impact any view lines looking down the river.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8BjF94r36kI?si=6130_R8x4XgKMFr5" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

No building can get closer to the steps down to Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park than Skye Residences. The easy access opens up the opportunity for future residents to be less than a minute from a walk along The Cliffs Boardwalk or a picnic on the grass looking across the river to the Botanic Gardens.

A short bus ride away is Captain Burke Park, which too offers picturesque views of&nbsp;the Brisbane River and the iconic Story Bridge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90059 project_image_fid=218025]

Also across the road from Skye is the popular Italian restaurant Joey's. That serves morning coffees all the way through to fine dining at night, with a terrace that takes in the best views in Kangaroo Point.

The nearby Dockside precinct and the vibrant South Bank cultural precinct also offer a variety of cafes, restaurants, and boutique stores, expanding the choices for where to relax and enjoy a meal with family and friends.

Skye Residences is perfectly positioned for those who value a hassle-free commute, with easy access to public transport options, including several bus stops along Main Street. The Holman Street Ferry Terminal is just over a kilometre away from the project, offering a more scenic commute than the norm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90059 project_image_fid=218024]

Skye Residences may also suit the family buyer, given the size of the apartments, the 1,000 sqm rooftop amenity in the form of an infinity pool and leisure precinct, and the project's proximity to schools.&nbsp;

St. Joseph's Primary School, one of the oldest and highest ranked Catholic Primary Schools in the state,&nbsp;is 700 metres away, while Brisbane State High School, Anglican Church Grammar School, St. Laurence's College and Shafston International College are all nearby.

Last month Pikos hit a <a href="/news/qld/pikos-advance-construction-at-kangaroo-point-apartment-development-skye-residences">major milestone in the construction progress</a> of Skye Residences. Builder Tomkins Commercial completed the excavation of the basement, dug out to home 165 resident vehicles.
