OSK Property\u00a0has unveiled plans for Aura \u2013 an $800m residential tower set to form the next stage of the wider Melbourne Square precinct in Southbank.\u00a0Construction on Aura is expected to start in late 2026.<\/p>\n
The 67-storey tower is planned for 7 Hoff Boulevard and will deliver 673 apartments as part of the broader $3.5bn mixed-use Melbourne Square development. Apartments will also largely feature balconies, with views extending across the CBD, Arts Precinct and Royal Botanic Gardens.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Designed by\u00a0Cox Architecture, the project draws on Japanese design principles alongside references to Australia\u2019s natural landscape.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aura will sit within the evolving Melbourne Square precinct, which is planned to include six buildings across Build to Rent, build-to-sell and retail uses. The wider precinct already includes Kennedy Park, retail space, childcare and hospitality operators.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAura stands tall as an exemplar of holistic wellness \u2013 its focus on social, physical and mental health culminate in a building that is calming, restorative and relaxing, where residents will have their own sanctuary within the well-connected and sought-after Southbank.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been very encouraged by the market\u2019s response to the BLVD offering, and we know there is a strong demand for the level of amenity, service and design that the Melbourne Square precinct is known for.<\/p>\n
\u201cComplemented by work-from-home lounges for professionals, family friendly outdoor garden spaces, and state-of-the-art fitness and wellness facilities, Aura will continue our focus on maximising physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chong Boon Woon, CEO,\u00a0OSK Property<\/p>\n
The development places a significant focus on wellness-led living, with amenities integrated throughout the building rather than concentrated on a single level. This includes a pool, spa, cold plunge, gym, Pilates and yoga studios, alongside work-from-home spaces, lounges, music rooms, library areas and private dining facilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Resident amenity will be spread across multiple levels, including the Aura Club, Meridian Club and Cumulus Club, with a mix of social, wellness and retreat-style spaces positioned throughout the tower. <\/p>\n
Approximately 1,600 sqm of retail space is also planned across the lower levels to further activate the precinct.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OSK Property\u00a0has unveiled plans for Aura \u2013 an $800m residential tower set to form the next stage of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12971,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[13589,6483,260,13590],"class_list":["post-12970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-melbourne","tag-aura","tag-cox-architecture","tag-melbourne","tag-osk-property"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12970\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
