Aurora On Depper, St Lucia: Construction Update

One of Melbourne's smallest suburbs, Windsor, is set to welcome a rare new development this year when developer Sinclair Brook completes its striking new project, Windsor Park.

Windsor Park, a joint venture between&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/sinclair-brook-and-wilbow-group">Sinclair Brook</a>,&nbsp;reputable investment firm Wilbow Group and architecture firm <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/jackson-clements-burrows-architects">Jackson Clements Burrows</a>, comprises just 33 apartments and a vast 3,000 sqm site in an enviable pocket in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/windsor-vic">Windsor</a>. The project boasts an international walk score of 95.

Bordering the Chris Gahan Reserve, residents of the two and three-bedroom apartments are treated to verdant vistas and views of the city skyline from the comfort of their homes.

Windsor Park embodies a minimalist Japanese aesthetic with emphasis on timeless and environmentally harmonious design.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110261 project_image_fid=216135]

The architectural narrative unfolds as a series of interconnected buildings interspersed with lush greenery. Vertical breaks along the street facades create captivating shadow plays, imbuing the structure with a human-scale intimacy.

Complementing the architectural splendour are meticulously curated interiors by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/hecker-guthrie">Hecker Guthrie</a> and lush gardens by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/landscape-architect/eckersley-garden-architecture">Eckersley Garden Architecture</a>.

The exterior’s chosen palette of concrete, warm metals, and neutral brick extends into the interiors, where earth tones, concrete, and soft timber create an atmosphere of warm contemporary.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110261 project_image_fid=216156]

Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows flood the homes with natural light, while private terraces and balconies provide idyllic retreats within the home.

The living spaces are designed with open plans and generous layouts adaptable to every resident's needs.

Perfect for hosting gatherings, the spacious kitchens are equipped with top-notch fittings and appliances.&nbsp;

A striking solid stone bench top with chamfered stone edging sits atop the central island, creating a visual contrast with the sleek timber veneer cabinetry.&nbsp;

Every kitchen comes complete with a full set of premium Swiss appliances by V-ZUG, adding to the overall minimalist design.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110261 project_image_fid=216143]

Homeowners can choose between two distinct colour schemes: Classic or Windsor to personalise their homes.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/windsor-park-61-71-mcilwrick-street-windsor">Windsor Park</a> is also committed to sustainability and energy efficiency. Utilising readily available technologies, the development aims to achieve a 7-star average NatHERs Energy Rating.&nbsp;

Increased insulation, high-performance double glazing, passive design for natural daylight and ventilation, water-efficient fixtures, and a rainwater harvesting system are all the initiatives employed in Windsor Park to contribute to a lower environmental impact.

Additionally, in embracing the future, Windsor Park will incorporate features for electric vehicle charging, basement ventilation improvements, and a solar PV system on the rooftop.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110261 project_image_fid=216149]

These initiatives not only reduce energy costs but also promote a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle for its residents.

Sinclair Brook is offering an extended building warranty at Windsor Park, past the standard warranty that all off the plan developers need to offer.

Construction by builder <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/ironside">Ironside Construction</a> has commenced on Windsor Park, with completion slated in mid-2024.

Descon is undertaking the construction of the 30-storey tower, which is currently on track for its slated completion of early 2024. The firm has already contributed over 80 quality projects across 4 states, providing an extra level of confidence to buyers.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=27815]

In the early stages of the development, buyers were given the opportunity to customise their new home beyond the standard limitations of other off-the-plan properties on the market. The design flexibility, in addition to the central location, drew in many owner-occupier buyers who could see the uniqueness of this project. Even though 90% of the project has now sold, there are still a variety of floorplans available, and at this stage in construction, some customisation options may still be available upon request.&nbsp;

Architect, DBI has thoughtfully designed homes with a future focus, including number plate recognition in the secure carparks, as well as face recognition access and full home automation provisions.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27815 project_image_fid=203983]

It's clear liveability has been held at the forefront of design, with a full suite of wellness amenities available to residents. You'll also have the freedom to work from home, either in your home office or at Akin's dedicated business centre.&nbsp;

For your weekend entertainment and socialising, a recreation deck will crown the development, offering barbeque facilities and some of the most breathtaking views of the Brisbane skyline.

A snapshot of Melbourne's construction - September 2018

<html><body>
Southbank's continued evolution as Melbourne's most dense suburb continues with 11 projects dispersed throughout the suburb, currently at construction.

Upon completion these projects will collectively deliver 5,208 apartments in addition to 727 hotel rooms. 

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public//pictures/article-images/southbank_construction_overview_0.png" rel="gallery-all" title="An overview of construction activity within Southbank.

" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>An overview of construction activity within Southbank.</figcaption></figure>The largest of these is Australia 108, which is making heady progress as it begins to surpass the heights of surrounding towers, on its way to an eventual height of 319m.

It is located within a pocket of Southbank which has three other buildings of significant height and density under construction. These are Stage One of Melbourne Square which comprises two buildings of 72 and 56-storeys respectively and Southbank Place on opposite corners of Kavanagh Street. 

Melbourne Square has just begun climbing out of the ground, while Southbank Place is much further advanced and is well beyond the halfway point.

Additionally, the Adina Hotel on the corner of Southbank Boulevard and City Road is seeing the first of its first 10 floors being added above the existing office structure.
