Last Listing description (March 2022)

Whether inspired by the stunning dancing lights which streak across the sky in the far Northern and Southern hemispheres or by the beauty of Aurora, the Roman goddess of Dawn who travelled across the sky each morning to announce the coming of the sun, if a modern Brisbane building dares to take Aurora as its namesake, then it best be able to deliver a striking architectural statement that brings colour and vibrancy to the city sky.

And indeed it would seem that Aurora Towers located in the heart of Brisbane City at 420 Queen Street has sought to grace the city skyline with exactly that. From its glistening copper-coloured aluminium pillar and electric blue-glass splayed awning, to its vast swathes of glass and the almost holographic effect of its lower-level screening, it's clear this gleaming contemporary tower has been designed to create a unique play of light across Brisbane's ever-evolving cityscape.


Like nature's famous flickering auroras, this building is also somewhat of a celestial phenomenon, designed by prestigious Brisbane firm Cottee Parker to rise 69 stories into the heavens, producing a wondrous display against Brisbane's brilliant sky. A spectacle to behold, Aurora is also one of the city's premium residential offerings, hosting short stay accommodation, long term residents and a number of dazzling penthouses in a light and life-filled location in the heart of the CBD.

And now a rare opportunity has emerged to dance your way into owning an apartment in this popular building, but you'll need to bust a move to claim this immaculately-kept apartment in an enviable position on the building's 8th floor.


THE RESIDENCE

With a warm, neutral palette and contemporary, minimalist aesthetic, it's actually something less tangible Duke Realty director and selling agent Sam Patterson is first drawn to observe. In animated fashion, Sam declares "You can't help but love the electric atmosphere of being in the city, all that energy and excitement and being in the midst of the action - that's why quality apartment offerings here still enjoy broad and lasting appeal."

And indeed it's clear that Apartment 87 at Aurora is one such offering, its 8th floor location the ideal vantage point for observing the city's impressive light show while dancing to the rhythm and beat of life below.

With a highly functional floor plan, a large, light-filled living/dining space occupies a central place in this fully furnished apartment, providing excellent separation between 2 sizeable bedrooms (both with built-in robes and one with integrated study desk), ensuring plenty of space to find your own groove.

If cooking is your jive, you'll find a full-sized kitchen boasting granite bench tops and island bench, generous cupboard storage and a full suite of stainless steel appliances with an underbench oven, dishdrawer, rangehood and gas cooktop inviting you to put on a dazzling display of your culinary moves.

Both bedrooms and the main lounge boast floor-to-ceiling glazed windows or sliding glass doors, welcoming an abundance of light and air into the space, with soft, billowing sheers, quality block-out curtains, ducted air conditioning and high speed broadband assuring comfort, control and connectivity for residents.

The lounge and master also enjoy direct access to a glass-framed, tiled entertaining deck - a welcome break-out space also a rare and dazzling feature not always found in city apartments. Finally, with a well-appointed modern bathroom boasting quality Grohe tapware and granite vanity located privately down the hall just beyond the master, this apartment also incorporates a concealed euro-style laundry and a wall of additional built-in storage - another rare phenomenon in city living.


LOCATION & LIFESTYLE

This shining residence enjoys a stunning outlook across sparkling city lights while also capturing a holiday-like view as you sit level with the tops of a pair of lush palm trees. Your outlook also takes in the stunning 25m LED-lit heated lap pool and bubbling heated jacuzzi / spa positioned on the building's recreation deck a level below, so you'll always feel connected to the vibrant lifestyle on offer, both within the building and beyond it.

A fully equipped gym and sauna are found on level 7, with facilities including a mini cinema, conference room and lounge also within the tower. Security-integrated high speed lifts manage your swift ascent from your single basement garage or the colourful lobby, with intercom access provided as well as a 24-hour concierge.

A vibrant retail, culinary and social scene radiates out from the base of the building with a cafe, bottle shop and convenience store below and Hellcat Maggie Bistro & Bar to the rear across Rich Lane. Or, simply wait for the lights to change and quick-step across Queen St to visit the Riverside Precinct or Eagle Street Pier where you'll find a number of bars and iconic Brisbane restaurants including Bar Pacino, Blackbird, Alchemy, RiverBar and Madame Wu.

Hip-hop uptown to the Queen Street Mall, the city's retail mecca, with Treasury Casino, South Bank and Queensland's Cultural Centre just beyond. Or, track a trail of lights to the city's opposite pole, with the popular Howard Smith Wharves a 5 minute walk away from your dynamic location which also positions you just 500m from Brisbane's famed Riverwalk, Riverside CityCat terminal and Central Station.


BE DAZZLED

Live life illuminated at Aurora Tower, dancing to the beat of a pulsating city heart that lies beyond your door. But, don't be content with simply sky-watching - you'll need to get your moves on - as this quality residence won't last long. With the market highly charged and energised, you'll need to strike like lightning so call Sam to line up a viewing of this apartment phenomenon today.
