Leading Australian integrated property development group, Aqualand, is leading North Sydney’s rapid transformation into one of the harbour city’s most sought-after new residential lifestyle precincts, as works progress on the company’s AURA by Aqualand project.
Located at 168 Walker Street, AURA by Aqualand is a $1B mixed-use residential development, designed by award-winning architects Woods Bagot and Richards Stanisich, and will feature 386 luxury apartments above an extensive retail precinct.
Currently under construction, the project’s structure is now visible, with the six-level basement carpark complete, and practical completion expected by mid-2024.
Importantly, AURA by Aqualand is perfectly positioned to contribute to the reactivation of the North Sydney CBD as a premier residential destination, courtesy of its location on the doorstep of North Sydney Council’s Ward Street Precinct masterplan, at the northern end of the CBD.
The Ward Street Precinct is bounded by Miller, McLaren, Walker and Berry Streets, and proposes to replace the Council managed Ward Street car park with new activated plazas and a civic hub featuring social and cultural facilities within the podium of a new commercial tower on Berry Street.
This will bring the community, students and more visitors to the CBD and support activities after work hours, transforming the North Sydney CBD into a more vibrant and attractive destination.
Key to the future precinct’s vision is a series of activated laneways that will connect Miller Street to two new plazas, while Ward Street will be pedestrianised and linked to the recently named Faith Bandler Place, completing part of the north-south laneway network running from St. Leonards Park to the North Sydney train station.
Recognising the appeal of the project as a future residential destination, Aqualand, in conjunction with longstanding corporate partners the South Sydney Rabbitohs, is now offering one person the chance to win an apartment at AURA by Aqualand, valued at over $1M.
Three lucky competition finalists, who attend the Round 23 Rabbitohs v Panthers NRL game at Accor Stadium on 18 August, will be invited onto the field at halftime, where they will then have the opportunity to compete for the chance to select a key that could open the door to a new AURA by Aqualand apartment.
This represents a potentially life-changing opportunity for someone to own a magnificent new home that gives them financial security, while enjoying the benefits of living in a prominent and rapidly transforming residential area.
