Aura, Residential skyscraper in Downtown Yonge, Toronto, Canada
The Aura building rises 272 meters into the Toronto skyline with 78 floors above ground and 6 floors below ground level.
Construction of this glass and concrete structure started in 2010, with the first 31 floors opening in 2013 and complete development finishing in 2014.
The mixed-use development represents the evolution of Toronto's urban landscape, combining residential units with commercial spaces in the downtown district.
The building connects directly to College subway station through an underground tunnel, providing residents with immediate access to Toronto's transportation network.
The retail podium section of Aura transformed in 2022 when Ingka Centres converted the space into an urban-format IKEA store.
