Kia Ora Flats, Melbourne

Kia Ora is located at 449-453 St. Kilda Road, Melbourne, 3004. It is on the east side of St. Kilda Road, half-way between Toorak and Commercial Roads.

 

Kia Ora was completed in 1936 in the style of Streamline Moderne. Kia Ora was commissioned by the Dixon family, who owned the "Kia Ora" cordial factory, and designed by architect Lewis Levy (1890-1970). When first built, they boasted wall panel hydronic heating, walk-in closets and modern kitchens.

 

Fawkner Park, one of Melbourne's larger inner city parks, graces the rear of Kia Ora, and the residents are fortunate to have a private gate to access the park.
