The northern Central Business District has seen some unprecedented urban renewal and development over the past 5 years with over 20,000 new properties and apartments built in that time turning the sleepy, underutilised corner into a vibrant and cultural hub of activity that connects the city back to the iconic Queen Victoria Market and Flagstaff Gardens.
Enveloped in contemporary design and urban vogue
With population increase, residential towers such as Aurora are important in maintaining growth in a sustainable and positive way, bringing human density to the city centre to keep a high night time population thus utilising commercial, empty space and curbing urban sprawl.
Developed by UEM Sunrise in collaboration with building company Probuild, the tower has been successfully topped out as of August 2019 with floors 10 to 60 occupied by residents and purchasers.
252 serviced apartments are also available for purchase at Aurora Melbourne with comfortable and spacious floor plans ranging between 50 and 120sqm of open living space and floor to ceiling windows to maximise the amount of natural light streaming into each apartment, providing a feeling of warmth and calmness.
Smart apartment living in a prized position
The exterior’s structure is beautifully coated in a purple and blue hue glazed glass that wraps around the curved facade and gives the building its shine. 2.4km of LED strip lighting has been installed to the curtain exterior of the tower to enhance its dynamic form at night and recognition as a world class landmark of Melbourne.
The LED colours change dramatically in pattern and are connected to a programmed light management system. The facade fin elements are strategically positioned and designed to reduce overlooking between apartments.
Cutting edge tech integrated with streamlined luxury
Aurora Melbourne Central is truly one of the most dynamic and architecturally gifted skyscrapers in Melbourne and possible Australia and has already made its mark on the city skyline.
UEM Sunrise are also responsible for the development of another iconic Melbourne tower, The Conservatory Residences, a sustainable 42 level residential tower topped by an impressive LED Crown rooftop with magnificent city and parkland views, gardens and jacuzzi’s.
Aurora becomes Melbourne’s fourth tallest tower and the sixth tallest in the country with the tallest tower in Australia, Australia 108 only surpassing by 42 metres.
