If you won’t settle for anything but the best, Oaks Aurora will satisfy your desire to live in a superior residence that offers a five-star lifestyle.

Containing a total of 408 dwellings and configurations from sleek one-bedroom apartments to luxurious two-storey ‘sky homes’, Oaks Aurora caters to a variety of demographics. The vision of developers The Amalgamated Property Group alongside Cottee Parker Architects, Oaks Aurora was nominated for the international Emporis Skyscraper Award in 2006 and was awarded an eighth place in the prestigious competition. The apartment building pays homage to its origins by restoration of the historical façade that was once the Queensland Country Life Building, now on the Queensland Heritage Register.
The façade may be historical however, the interior of the building is quite the opposite. State of the art IT capabilities have been implemented for security and convenience including iris scanning identification upon entry and personal computer in every apartment. The double-storey foyer oozes opulence with an imaginative combination of colours, textures and materials, designer furniture and art representing the building ties to Brisbane City. The quality of the interior of the residences is evident through Grohe tapware, granite kitchen and vanity benchtops with high-end stainless steel kitchen appliances.
The list of amenities at Oaks Aurora is extensive, beginning with the recreation deck that rests among the surrounding buildings creating a New York-Rooftop party vibe.
