AURA by Aqualand shortlisted as Finalist in 2025 AIB Professional Excellence Awards
We’re proud to share that AURA by Aqualand has been recognised by the Australian Institute of Building (AIB) in the 2025 Professional Excellence Awards, which celebrate outstanding achievement and leadership in the construction industry.
This recognition is a testament to the exceptional effort, innovation, and professionalism that defined every stage of AURA’s delivery — from early planning and complex engineering, through to construction execution and final handover.
Excellence Through Execution
Delivered by Aqualand’s in-house construction team, AURA is a $1B mixed-use development that sets a new benchmark for luxury living in North Sydney. Despite facing major challenges — including complex subterranean conditions, proximity to the Victoria Cross Metro construction, and global supply chain disruption — AURA was completed both on time and within budget.
The development includes:
386 generously sized residences across 28 levels
Five-star resident amenities including concierge, pool, gym and Tesla vehicle fleet
A curated hospitality precinct delivered by Etymon Projects

Building With Purpose and Precision
From adaptive traffic strategies to collaborative stakeholder engagement, every detail of AURA’s delivery was underpinned by professionalism and a deep commitment to excellence. Aqualand’s use of advanced construction technology, like digital defect tracking and BIM coordination, also helped ensure the build was not only efficient but future-proofed for long-term value.
We’re especially proud that the AIB has recognised the project’s:
Technical excellence in façade engineering and vertical construction
Leadership in project management, collaboration, and problem-solving
Commitment to quality, safety, and long-term performance
