Aurora Melbourne Central, Residential skyscraper in Melbourne, Australia
Aurora Melbourne Central is a residential skyscraper in the city that stands 270.5 meters tall across 88 floors. The tower combines 959 residential apartments with 252 serviced apartments for short-term guests.
The development began in October 2015 as a major residential construction project and was completed in 2019. This timeline marked a significant moment in the city's modern tower building era.
The building takes its name from the aurora australis phenomenon, a natural light display in the southern sky, replacing its original address-based designation. This naming choice reflects the city's connection to its natural environment.
The tower features modern safety systems with separate fire zones to protect all residents and guests. These systems are designed to ensure clear navigation and reliable protection in a large residential building.
Since its opening, residents on upper floors have occasionally experienced snow flurries, a rare event in the downtown area. This height brings residents closer to weather conditions that differ from those experienced at street level.
