Vibrant inner-city living

Enjoy Nicholson Village Living.

ROI is a vibrant inner-city community that is home to around 300 residents.

Our apartment complex is a great place to live with its eco-friendly features, attractive foyers and gardens.

However, it is really its people who make the difference, and we have an active Owners’ Corporation Committee that is constantly endeavouring to keep the complex attractive, safe and in good order for all owners and residents.

History

More than just an apartment building.

Originally ROI was known as 648A Nicholson Street, Fitzroy North. Rare City Acre Pty Ltd purchased the site in September 2007 from brothers Peter and Paul Di Campo, architects turned developers.

At that time, there were two commercial tenants: Cadet Shoes, a Fitzroy based Company, who were using about 50% of the site as a warehouse for their shoes. The other tenant was Sapori International Pty Ltd who were importers and distributors of coffee, mineral water and specialist Italian food goods. Both companies still trade today.

The laneway which runs on the west side of the development is in fact on the ROI Title, and those titles which front Nicholson Street and back on to that laneway have a right of carriageway over that lane. The architects appointed to design the building were Bird de la Coeur Architects.

Just 3km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD, Fitzroy North is known for its wide streets, Victorian and Edwardian era terraced housing and less commercial activity, paving the way as an affluent family suburb.
