The next phase of a landmark precinct is offering buyers uninterrupted views and a rare opportunity for a premium South Melbourne residence.
R.Evolution is the second and final stage of R.Corporation’s already-thriving R.Iconic precinct, completed in June 2023.
“The first tower was hugely successful—all apartments are now sold and there’s an active and engaged community of residents in the building with over 70% owner-occupiers,” says Andrew Crichton, director of sales and marketing at R.Corporation.
The precinct sits in bustling South Melbourne, famed for its restaurant culture and charming community that’s well-connected to all the wider area has to offer.
“South Melbourne really has everything,” says Mr Crichton.
“A village-like feel with local cafes, the South Melbourne Market, bars, restaurants, parks, and bike trails all the way to the beach.”

R. Evolution is a 40-level tower in South Melbourne’s stand-out R.Iconic precinct.
An ‘iconic’ precinct’s next step
The statement-making R.Evolution tower comprises 40 levels of apartments and world-class amenities, including a five-level podium with one acre of gardens designed by Order of Australia-awarded landscape architect Paul Bangay.
The precinct is a cohesive community, with the retail planned to include a restaurant, day spa, florist, cafe and salon meaning that residents have everything they need at their doorstep.
“We have a Coles Supermarket and Liquorland on the ground floor, so residents don’t even need to leave the building to stock up on essentials—they just take the internal lift directly into Coles,” Mr Crichton explains.
Mr Crichton also says that the new R.Evolution tower, and the wider R.Iconic precinct, is perfectly placed for exceptional views and access.
“Being on the southern end and bordering the park, we’re never going to be built out,” he says, noting that R.Evolution is ten levels higher than the first tower for even more unobstructed views.
The five-level podium features an acre of expertly crafted green space and amenities.
Unmatched level of amenity: Gyms, pool, lounges and more
As the next phase of the R.Iconic precinct, R.Evolution adds to the already unparalleled amenity for residents.
“R.Evolution offers the most amenity of any project in the area, with 40 shared amenities across the two towers,” Mr Crichton says.
Across three carefully considered categories—wellbeing, entertainment, and convenience—residents have access to a wide range of hotel-style amenities.
With fitness options like Pilates and yoga studios, cardio and strength and conditioning gyms, an outdoor fitness station, infinity running track and an adventure playground, there is something for everyone.
“It’s great for our residents, because they save on gym memberships and the cost of various classes,” says Mr Crichton.
This supported by the wider wellbeing offering’s relaxation amenities like a rooftop pool and magnesium spa and a traditional and infrared sauna, to name a few.
“Beyond wellness, R.Evolution’s entertainment offerings ensure your downtime will never be dull,” says Mr Crichton, highlighting the Horizon Lounge on level 30 to 31.
Also on offer is a communal library, cinema, and karaoke room, plus rooftop dining pavilions and barbecues, private dining rooms, a golf simulator and putting green and so much more.
Finally, the convenience offering features dedicated co-working spaces, Go-Get Share Cars, parcel lockers, supported by an expansive 5-star hotel-like lobby with dedicated on-site concierge and security.
“Literally everything you could ever need is here within the project, which is quite unique and impossible to deliver in smaller projects,” says Mr Crichton.
From co-working spaces to a wide range of fitness options, R.Evolution offers unparalleled levels of resident amenity.
Larger, lifestyle-led apartments
R.Evolution offers something for everyone with the expertly designed apartments featuring much more floor space than the standard high-rise residence, explains Mr Crichton.
“R.Evolution apartments are significantly larger than other projects—with one-bedroom apartments up to 70sqm, two-bedroom apartments up to almost 100sqm and three-bedroom apartments up to 121sqm. Those sizes are a real point of difference to other new projects, which often focus on smaller apartments which simply aren’t liveable ’ he says.
“Combine that with higher-than-standard ceiling heights, floor-to-ceiling windows and stunning views—and these residences are really designed with the owner-occupier in mind.”
Those looking for more outdoor space can also choose one of the twelve podium-level Paul Bangay Garden apartments that seamlessly blend indoor living with private courtyards, some with outdoor areas over 100sqm.
“These garden apartments bring a level of serenity to the project that’s quite unique,” says Mr Crichton.
The limited-edition Paul Bangay Garden Apartments are just one of R.Evolution’s stunning residential offerings.
From sky-high to parkland views
The new tower also offers further options for those looking for even more luxury and space.
The Premium Collection is a limited selection of sub penthouses that enjoy never-to-be-built-out water views residents are calling the best in the city.
“On a clear day you can see all the way to Portsea—plus the city views to the north—it’s quite spectacular,” says Mr Crichton.
“We have residents in Tower One who have moved here from St. Moritz in St.Kilda and other high-end projects and they all say the same thing—the views are simply the best they have seen.”
The Premium Collection also includes an exclusive range of two-level, three-bedroom townhouses that have individual street addresses, direct private entry and large outdoor terraces with parkland views.
With R.Iconic sold out, R.Evolution is a rare opportunity to secure an address in the vibrant precinct and in one of the few build-to-sell projects launching in South Melbourne this year.
