Aurora Place, High-rise building in Sydney central business district, Australia.

Aurora Place is a 41-storey commercial and residential tower on Phillip Street, designed by Renzo Piano. Its east facade bulges outward from the base to its widest point at the top floors, clad in milky white fritted glass that suggests a sail. A 75-metre steel spire is attached to the north facade, and the lower section is faced with terracotta tiles. Winter gardens occupy the north-west and south-east corners.

Aurora Place, officially the RBS Tower, was built on the site of the former State Office Block by Bovis Lend Lease. The tower design by Renzo Piano, Mark Carroll and Shunji Ishida was presented to the Central Sydney Planning Committee in 1996. The building was sold in January 2001 for $485 million and won the 2002 Property Council of Australia Rider Hunt Award.

Aurora Place holds a corporate art collection described as among Australia's most valuable, with works by Kan Yasuda, Caio Fonseca and Tim Prentice on public display. The building's name is a common label rather than its official one: it is formally the RBS Tower. Its lower section is clad in terracotta tiles, echoing the tiles Renzo Piano used at Potsdamer Platz.

The building is easily visible from street level and offers different perspectives depending on your viewing location. The best time to appreciate the exterior architecture and take photographs is during clear daylight when the structure and its reflections are most distinct.

The steel spire on the north facade is 75 metres long, and the milky white fritted glass was inspired by the tiling of the Sydney Opera House, 800 metres to the north. The lower section is clad in terracotta tiles, the same kind Renzo Piano used at Potsdamer Platz.
