The 29-level building will home 386 apartments, comprising one, two, three, and four-bedroom units, including sub-penthouse and penthouses.
The apartments offer a seamless transition from open living spaces to inviting winter gardens or balconies, while some units feature a multi-functional room that can serve as an additional living area, an office, a bedroom, or an ideal guest room.
The interior designers at Richards Stanisich have thoughtfully curated three contemporary colour palettes for AURA residences – light, mid or dark. All palettes are very textural and evoke a sense of feeling from lightness to opulence.
AURA by Aqualand features a podium-level retail precinct with a curated shopping and dining destination, including a providore, bakery, café and wine bar, an all-day diner and a contemporary Japanese restaurant. Other resort-style facilities include a lifestyle concierge, pool, gym, room, sky deck, private dining rooms, and barbecue space for year-round al fresco entertaining.
