AURA by Aqualand is an iconic new address and symbol of North Sydney’s sophisticated future. AURA sets a new precedent for luxury harbourside living.

The group released the second stage of apartments in May, offering a mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom residences by award winning architects, Woods Baggot and Richard Stanisich.

The $1 billion luxury mixed-use residential development is home to a sprawling range of residential amenity along with a multi-level hospitality precinct.

The high-end dining and entertaining is only moments from the apartments, with Aqualand’s hospitality arm, Etymon Projects, curating and managing the precinct.

Part of the Aqualand group of companies, Etymon is a startup in the hospitality space fronted by CEO, Lisa Hobb, with the group pioneering a new level in premium hospitality, luxury concierge services, wellness facilities and retail concepts.

Etymon Projects will introduce a service and lifestyle offering that is central to the heart of AURA, setting a benchmark for future developments in Sydney.  

Across the multi-level hospitality precinct, Etymon Projects has collaborated with designers to craft an artfully curated selection of venues conceived with the view to enhance and enrich the lives of the residents living above.

“This new culinary scene will transform this new neighbourhood destination into a beacon for visitors and residents of the broader metropolitan area, a place to gather and enjoy the finer delights,” said Hobb.

“The businesses and retailers that are destined to be part of the AURA story are carefully curated and conceived to complement a dynamic and vibrant lifestyle.”

Collectively designed to be a beacon for visitors and a playground for residents, the mix of venues at AURA include a providore, a bakery, café, wine bar, an all-day diner, as well as a contemporary Japanese eatery.

“We see North Sydney as becoming a great food destination. We’re excited to be an important part of this dining evolution,” Hobb added.

The standard of service that Etymon Projects prides itself on goes beyond just the thriving culinary precinct but is woven into the fabric of everyday life at AURA.

Etymon Concierge is accessible by all residents and exists to enrich the lives of those lucky enough to call this beautiful destination their home.

Whether that means catering to the practicalities of modern life by looking after deliveries, managing visitors or helping with information about the area, a personalised, polished service is central to the beauty, convenience and vibrancy of life at AURA.
