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.

Key project features include:

386 premium residences across 28 levels
Five-star resident amenities, including concierge, pool, gym and Tesla vehicle fleet
A curated hospitality precinct by Etymon Projects
