A New Benchmark for North Sydney
Designed by Woods Bagot with interiors by Richards Stanisich, AURA delivers 386 spacious residences above a lively podium of dining and retail. Completed on time and on budget, it’s a bold example of design-led living in one of Sydney’s fastest-evolving urban centres.
Residences Redefined
The way in which we work and live are more intimately connected than ever before. Generosity of space and flexibility is at the heart of how we find a sanctuary of privacy and focus at home. AURA offers each residence a unique layout in planning and proportion, with different floorplans and flexible solutions as a balance between working and living at home. All apartments afford a seamless flow from open space living to glorious winter gardens or balconies, while some apartments feature a multi-functional room that facilitates use as a secondary living area, an office, bedroom or the perfect guest room.
Award-Winning Excellence
AURA has been recognised by industry leaders, including:
- 2025 Winner of The Urban Developer Awards for ‘High-Density Residential (200+)’
- 2025 Winner of the AIB NSW Profession Excellence Awards for ‘Residential Construction: Over $60million’
- 2025 Winner of the International Property Awards (Asia Pacific) for ‘Best Residential High-Rise Development’ in Australia’
- 2025 Finalist in The Urban Taskforce Australia Awards for “High Density Development”
Lifestyle and Hospitality
At street level, a new hospitality precinct curated by Etymon Projects brings together a morning bakery, an all-day café and wine bar, a relaxed LA inspired Mediterranean diner, and an upscale Japanese restaurant — all just downstairs from home. Additional resort-style facilities include a lifestyle concierge, pool, gym, room, and a spectacular sky deck, private dining rooms, barbecue space for year-round al fresco entertaining.
Part of a Thriving Community
Located just steps from the new Victoria Cross Metro Station, AURA places residents at the heart of a revitalised and better-connected North Sydney. The surrounding area is transforming into a vibrant urban village — complete with public plazas, pedestrian laneways, green spaces, and cultural installations.
Beyond connectivity, AURA is designed to foster genuine community. Its integration with local retail, dining, and open public spaces creates opportunities for everyday interaction, connection, and belonging.
World-Class Architecture
AURA’s architecture is a bold expression of sculptural form and enduring sophistication, designed by globally acclaimed firm Woods Bagot. Inspired by the fluid lines of Sydney Harbour, its curved form and glazed façade create a dynamic interplay of light, shade, and reflection.
More than a landmark, AURA is designed to enhance daily life—beginning with a dramatic double-height lobby and extending to the orientation of each residence, which maximises natural light, space, and outlook. Every detail has been considered to create a sense of calm, permanence, and quiet luxury within North Sydney’s evolving skyline.
A Place to Call Home
With a strong owner-occupier community already in residence, AURA is now a living, breathing neighbourhood. Residents describe it as a place where quality craftsmanship, considered design and a sense of belonging come together.
THE PENTHOUSE COLLECTION
A breathtaking expression of luxury living, these architecturally-designed penthouses from visionary firm Richards Stanisich celebrate design in every detail. Uncompromisingly wide spaces, masterful planning and finishes that emphasise sophistication and quality in every artfully curated fixture and surface, these inspired homes are intimately bound to their outlook, channeling the form and beauty of the cliffs and shorelines of the sparkling Sydney Harbour.
Interior Schemes
Interior architects at Richards Stanisich have curated three contemporary colour palettes for AURA residences – light, mid or dark. The light scheme features inspiring fresh tones anchored by textured materials with French Oak timber floorboards and Salt Saxony carpet. The mid scheme is a marriage of luxury and warmth with Ash French Oak floorboards and Dust Saxony carpet. The dark scheme is a rich palette of textural Smoked European Oak floorboards and Elephant Saxony carpet, where opulence meets contemporary.
